I always know I can depend on Brianna to take the best care of my cats. I always look forward to the summaries of her drop-ins, takes awesome (hilarious) photos, and does a professional job. 10/10 recommend

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.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I went through some obedience training with my last dog. My daughter is 13 and has been around dogs all her life as well. We would love to cuddle and play with your dog while they are in our care! We have a big fenced-in yard and a great neighborhood for walks. We are available to board your dog on weekends, in particular, but weekdays as well if they are able to be inside for a long portion of the day. We are also available to do evening and weekend drop ins and/or walks. We are very recently pet free so all our love will go to your pet! I work full-time, Monday through Friday. I do work one Saturday/month but have a day off in the week. My daughter is in school until 3:30. Depending on the time of year, she may be home by 3:45. She does participate in a fall sport and dance so some evenings we are gone for about 90 minutes while she is at dance class. Our weekends are generally very open, but we would not take a dog on weekends we had limited availability. We have a large, fenced-in yard and live in a family-friendly neighborhood. We would follow all guidelines for walking, bed time, feeding, etc. provided by the pet parent. We will treat your dog as our own.

About: I have a strong love for animals and real experience caring for a variety of pets. In elementary school, I often took care of our class pets; a goldfish, and a hamster even when it wasn’t my turn, simply because I enjoyed it. Since then, I’ve raised two dogs, including one who passed away from old age, and I’ve learned a lot about both everyday and senior pet care. I also house-sit for my sister’s two cats. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. At the moment I am a high school graduate transitioning into college and I do work part time so I am mostly free on weekends and other times of the day week during the week. Depending on the pet, I like to wait for the dog to come to me and trust me. I’ll have a treat in my hand and I’ll let it sniff it and eat it

Catherine was fantastic with our kitty! We rarely have non-family stay with Olive, and being away for 2 weeks was a little worrisome—until we met Catherine. We immediately felt comfortable and knew she was the right fit. For 14 days, Catherine sent great updates and photos. She took time to know and love Olive. When we returned from our trip, our kitty was happy and well care for. Everything went perfectly and we hope to use Catherine’s service again if we find ourselves needing pet care. She’s fantastic !

About: I'm a huge pet lover and love meeting new pets and their unique personalities! My husband and I have a golden doodle puppy named Rosie! She is playful and is looking for a best friend in every dog she meets! There is one child in our home (3 years) who loves having our dog visitors. We love going on walks around my neighborhood and would love to take your pet with us! My husband and I are both animal lovers and work in the schools with summers off. I'm flexible with any dog's special needs or accommodations. It's important to know who your loved one is staying with so ask me anything and check in as needed! When I’m away from Rosie I love getting pictures of her so I will happily send you as many pictures as you’d like while your dog is with us. Let me know if you have any questions! My husband and I are off work in the summer as we work in the schools. We love spending our time outside with our dog and little girl! We’re accommodating for a variety of needs in our home. Whether crated, uncrated, needing to eat away from other dogs, bathroom breaks, etc. Our Rosie loves being outside and asks probably once an hour to go out (during waking hours) to go out, even just to lay down.

Hannah was great. Nala, my cat, has high anxeity and does not do well with new people, but Hannah was able to break that barrier and win Nala over. Next time I need a sitter, Hannah will be my first pick.

About: I have been caring for both cats and dogs my entire life, personally and professionally. This includes disabled + senior care! I do my best to match the energy & demeanor of each animal; if they are extra active & playful, I’m prepared to keep up! If they are more timid & anxious, I’m very gentle, patient, & soft spoken. I love animals a lot & I’m a natural when it comes to meeting their needs. I have an office job 3 days a week as well as a 4-year old but my time is shared and very flexible. I’m free by 4pm every single day and weekends are open. I have a 4 bedroom house with 2 cats & some gates so I generally keep them separated. My backyard is fenced in as well

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 16 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As a devoted dog dad myself, I understand just how much your pets mean to you. I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether it’s a high energy pup who needs a long walk or a senior dog who just wants some gentle company, I tailor each visit to your pet’s specific needs. I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, and special care instructions, and I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. I’ve got plenty of time in my daily routine, so your dog gets more than just a quick walk. I offer unhurried, personalized care tailored to your pup’s energy level, mood, and personality. Your Dog’s Safety and Your Home Are My Top Priorities. When I care for your dog in your home, I treat both your pet and your space with the same respect and attentiveness I give my own. With 16 years of hands on experience as a dog dad and caretaker, I understand how important it is to feel safe leaving your dog and your house in someone else’s hands. I go above and beyond to create a secure, calm, and clean environment while you’re away. Here’s how I keep things safe and stress free: • Constant awareness: Doors stay locked, gates stay closed, and no risky situations (like off-leash time) ever happen without your permission. • Routine focused care: I stick to your pet’s regular schedule to keep them comfortable and prevent stress or behavioral issues. • Clean & respectful: I leave your home just as I found it—clean, organized, and secure. • Emergency readiness: I’m familiar with local vets and always have a plan in case of emergencies. • Regular updates: You’ll get photos, messages, and updates so you never feel out of the loop. Whether it’s for a weekend getaway or a longer trip, I’ll make sure your dog is happy, your home is respected, and your peace of mind is intact.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Southfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Southfield on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,136 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Southfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Southfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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.
