About: Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, your dog (s) will receive the same level of care I give my own pets—fresh food and water, regular meals, exercise, playtime, affection, and close attention to their individual needs. Further, I have experience with administering medicine such as eye drops, ingestible liquids/pills, and shots. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in capable hands. I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! When I was a kid, my family had two dogs along with other animals, providing me with a foundation for loving and caring for pets. Since then, family and friends have trusted me to provide pet care services including pet sitting- feeding, play, and providing overnight company. I have 24 years of experience with small and medium sized dogs. Care for dogs is my only profession, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. My home is safe, welcoming, and open, and my friendly dog loves having dog visitors to play with. Your dog will be free to roam my home- welcome on the furniture- and have plenty of space to run in my large fenced in yard. Additionally, I am located near the heart of Dowtown Royal Oak for dogs who are excited by people and other dogs, as well as several parks with open spaces within walking distance. I currently have a three dog limit for boarding and pet sitting. I’m home full time, so I’m able to provide dogs care with my full attention. Whether morning, afternoon, or night I’m available round the clock to fit you and your pets schedule and needs! I’m happy to provide care in your home or mine! My home is safe, welcoming, and pet friendly- with large areas to roam or smaller gated spaces ideal for dogs who prefer time alone, are shy, or being newly socialized. I have a large fenced in yard dogs both small and big can enjoy and many local parks within walking distance! Further, my dog Bernie is an excellent playmate for all dogs I care for.
About: I have taken care of many different cats and dogs since I was around 10. Many of my neighbors ask me to watch and walk their pets while they are on vacation. I have taken care of my family dog for the past 10 years. I work overnights Thursday through Monday so I am available during the day until 5pm. On weekends I’m usually available 11-8pm. I love to take a break from my regular job to spend time with animals. I will make sure to follow any instructions you leave for the safety of your pet. I always listen to a dog or cat’s body language to endure I am meeting their needs.
“Suzanne did a wonderful job with our fur babies. Our girl cat can be cranky or a sweetheart and Suzanne knew how to bring the sweetheart out of her. She sent delightful photos of Peanut rubbing all up and down her leg in greeting and running around the house excitedly playing or having zoomies. We knew our cat was in good hands with her from the very beginning - just a vibe - but she proved to be responsible, attentive, and definitely went the extra mile to make sure we knew Peanut was being loved, food and maintenance was being taken care of, and that our other pets were also safe.”
“Kelly is the best! She went to see Garfield before the she officially started the sitting, and have a great time with Garfield during the sitting! Garfield was feed with fresh food, wet food and water! Kelly is so nice, professional, welcoming, and sweet! She got great experience with both dogs and cats! I would recommend her to everyone and definitely would like Kelly to take care of Garfield in the future!”
About: I have grown up loving and caring for dogs of my own as well as others. I have always been the person people always call when they have some kind of animal emergency. I absolutely love animals and know a lot about taking care of them and many different types. They will get lots of attention and quality care from me. I will spoil your baby as much as you will let me! I can administer any medication necessary. My dog takes pain meds twice a day so we are already on a medication routine. I have a flexible schedule so I can meet most needs. I keep in contact with you asap if there are any changes that are needed I live in a charming small house in the corner of Ferndale and a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I have a fully fenced in backyard that is about 97% privacy fence. There’s one little corner where my dog can talk to the dog in back through a chain-link fence. Lots of shade and grass
“She did exactly what I wanted and more. I have a very shy cat, she was patient with her, and let her come out at her own pace. Sent a text and accompanying picture each day , as requested. Very pleased with her performance. Will use her a again.”
“Hadley was amazing! She was so warm, caring, and attentive with our cat. We loved her updates and felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such good hands. We’d happily have her cat-sit for us again!”
“Jessica has been great with our dogs. We had a few special instructions and she took care of everything we needed. Our dogs get let out twice a week by her, and sometimes she stays longer than we asked. She’s very good at updating our Rover account with all of the details and photos from each visit!”
“Emily was so accommodating for our last minute booking of a drop-in visit on a holiday! I know the pups enjoyed her visit and their play time just from looking at their happy faces in the pictures! I would recommend her for anyone looking for a friendly sitter for their pets 😁”

I definitely recommend using her and she is my go to each and every time!! Thank you Shelbi for being you and taking such great care of Frank and Beans ;)”
“Eriann is amazing! She took the extra step to visit our home the day before our scheduled drop-in to meet our dog so she could feel more comfortable. She was very responsive and professional. Would 100% recommend her to anyone.”
“Samantha was incredibly responsive and offered to come meet our dogs before any services were booked to make sure everyone was comfortable. She took extra care with our rescue who needed a bit of extra support and was flexible in walking our other dog solo. We really enjoyed her updates and pictures from the visits.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Southfield
I’ve been using Rover since 2018 and Jeannine has watched my boys (two kitties) since the beginning. And even though my Ludi and Otto are a bit on the bougie side; especially, the ginger, they love having their visits from Jeannine and I can rest easy knowing they will be well taken care of when I go out of town. Sitter for life! 😻🫶🏻

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
