About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

“Carla did a great job watching our three cats. We had a tougher situation needing to separate one from the others but she did an excellent job communicating with us how they were doing and spending time with them!”

About: With 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs, I understand that every animal deserves personalized care. As a pet owner myself, I have experience with everything from energetic puppies and senior dogs to bottle-fed kittens and insulin-dependent pets. I provide flexible, attentive care, along with regular updates and clear communication, so you can have the same peace of mind I would want when my own pets are in someone else’s care. Pet sitting fits into my weekly routine, giving me the opportunity to check in, take walks, or provide longer care tailored to each adorable pet. I care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with attention, patience, and respect for their routines. I follow each pet’s specific needs, from daily walks and diets to unique quirks and preferences shared by the owner.

About: I’ve been on Wag for a while and loved it so I wanted to expand my business to Rover! I’m looking forward to becoming a regular caretaker for your furry friend. I’ve done drop-ins for friends, families and clients on vacations. I make sure they get some loving and pets during each drop-in. I also have been volunteering at cat and animal shelters since high school. I love dogs and I like to run with dogs as well. I’m experienced with dogs that pull. A little about me. I’m a Master’s student studying Clinical Mental Health Counseling and I currently work with children with Autism. Other than that, I love being active and enjoying nature. I am patient and understanding of any specific request you would want! I adore animals so I assure the best quality of care possible! I currently work part-time so I’m always looking for walks on my off-time. I’m available for sittings/boardings everyday unless I’m on vacation! I have a clean studio. I have a balcony, large windows and a big windowsill for your cat to sunbathe in. I have space for all of your cats’ needs!

About: Hi there! I'm Sara and I am a fierce lover of animals. I am highly inclined towards gentle caregiving of all animals and I would be a great supporter of your pet's care needs! I have life-long experience caring for dogs of various sizes, and I am skilled at handling a bigger dog on a leash. I have a lot of patience for animals with special needs and more complex feeding and/or grooming routines. I also have a deep love for cats and have a lot of experience caring for a variety of breeds. I am skilled at grooming and medicating cats as well, and I have experience in helping to raise kittens. My schedule is currently very open and flexible. I am looking for a regular position as an animal caregiver, and I am willing to be flexible in maintaining the care schedule if I acquire any additional employment opportunities in the future. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends! I am all about open communication when it comes to scheduling needs and conflicts, so please do not hesitate to reach out for a chat. When it comes to caring for pets in a client's home, I demonstrate the utmost respect in caring for the physical space in whatever ways requested by the client. I am happy to submit to any background check and can provide reliable references to attest to my commitment and trustworthiness. I have two cats and one of them is very afraid of dogs, however my house allows for a good deal of separation, so a discussion with the owner to establish boundaries for care within my own home is a priority. I have a fenced-in backyard and I am happy to bring clients' dogs over to play out in the yard, weather-permitting. Overall, I am very flexible and I look forward to discussing your needs in further detail!

About: I have 15+ years experience caring for dogs of all sizes with various behavioral or medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medication as well as providing basic care such as walking and feeding. I have my own high anxiety Pit Mix who I adopted and have used multiple sitters on Rover, so I understand how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger. I am happy to send photos and updates galore for your peace of mind! I work a hybrid job and have ample time outside of work that I could dedicate to whatever your dog needs ranging from a run to playing fetch to spending some time being petted. I firmly believe that pets are family members and should be treated with the utmost care and loved unconditionally. I’m open to any behavioral challenges but ask for transparency prior to booking for both my safety and to provide the best care to your dog. I often work from home so I’m free for morning and evening walks, playtime, feedings, and/or bathroom breaks. I can often make time mid-day as well. I know all dogs have unique needs and routines so I’m happy to do whatever your pup is used to is ensure maximum happiness while you’re away. I have a high anxiety pitbull so I understand some dogs are slower to warm up to a stranger. It doesn’t bother me, I just ask that you’re honest about any behavioral quirks so I can ensure your dog is safe and comfortable.

About: I’ve always grown up with multiple dogs at a time. My parents currently love a 5 year old German shepherd, an 8 year old English shepherd, and an 8 year old Staffordshire terrier. I myself now love a 2 year old Irish setter doodle that I have well trained with my boyfriend, and a 3 year old orange tabby kitten! I work in the medical sales industry, so no two days are the same. I usually don’t have a full day however, so if I’m scheduled with your pet, they have my full attention! I currently love a 2 year old male Irish doodle puppy and a 3 year old female orange tabby kitten. They are very friendly with each other and everyone who visits. We think it's important to have rules and structure so they are both trained and well behaved but thoroughly loved and cared for. l am comfortable with putting dogs in crates, letting them out, feeding, and administering medication if necessary; really whatever attending to their normal schedule.

About: Hi! I love animals and am more than happy to care for yours. I'm working a full time 8-5, but I still am offering some services as available. I can watch your pet over a short or long period of time, and I have experience with both small and large dogs. I will care for your pet and make sure your doggo is having a fun time and can send pictures as well! I love dogs and have had them around my whole life. I am allergic to cats (but if you have just one cat in addition to dogs, I've been able to be comfortable) We can negotiate prices as well! I will give your pets the attention they need and ensuring they're in a safe, happy environment. I care for my pets by listening to their needs and giving them desired attention! Lastly, I've been wanting to start this up again to donate to other dogs in need, for places like Dog Aide or Bark Nation specifically. I work in Auburn Hills, and my avaliablity is mainly on weekends & holidays. If you are okay with an 8-hour workday, I'm more than willing to sit during the week! I am not providing services in my home at this time. My dogs listed on Rover live with my parents:) I mainly will provide house sitting due to my availability.

About: I’ve raised and taken care of my own pets, friends and neighbors over the years. I work from home where I run my business and would be happy to attend to your fur babies. My home has a fenced in backyard and we also have a very walkable neighborhood. Our community is very safe and clean as well as my house. Our basement is the perfect indoor space for pets of any size so they can have their very own room in the house, but of course they are welcome anywhere. I create my own schedule and work from my house. I miss having a pet around when I’m not traveling so find this as a happy alternative. Whatever accommodations your pet needs I can provide it. We have space indoors and outdoors for any pet and I pride myself on being a very attentive caregiver.

We had an amazing experience with Dany! She was absolutely wonderful with our two babies, Peanut and Shayla (our pit and pit mix). From the very beginning, she was kind, personable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. For every drop-in visit, Dany sent us pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and loved. We even accidentally forgot to feed the dogs before leaving, and Dany had no problem stepping in and taking care of it for us. Her willingness to help and attention to detail truly meant a lot. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Peanut and Shayla were in great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Dany to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Southfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Southfield is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,980 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Southfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Southfield choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Southfield with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southfield. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
