“Sandy took such great care of our furbabies! She made sure to send pictures and let me know how they were doing every time she stopped by. Thank you so much Sandy! Also, thanks for the adorable gifts!!!”
“We have 2 very different dogs and Marisa has won the heart of them both! We loved meeting her before finalizing her first visit and her reassurance that she will love our girls as her own. She is a wonderful communicator, and the first visits went very well. She gave us great updates and pictures and I felt very reassured with her there. Will be booking with her again!!!”
About: I am an active educator working with elementary aged students 10 months out of the year for the past sixteen years. However, I also have a special place in my heart for animals of all kinds. I have a particular interest and skillset working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments and have over 10 years of experience walking shelter dogs in my community. I have been passionate about dogs since I was a young girl, and when I finally got my own dog at the age of twelve, my desire to learn more about them and how to best care for them grew exponentially. Volunteering in the shelter environment, I have honed my skills in reading dog body language, creating safe walking environments, understanding and communicating health concerns, and handling boisterous, reactive, or fearful behaviors with calm kindness and care. Behavior is communication and I use my expertise as an educator to best care for and enrich the lives of the animals around me. I also adopted my own dog as adult from the humane society in 2018, who came with her own unique personality and behaviors such as reactivity, anxiety, dog reactivity, low confidence, and over-excitable drive. Throughout our eight years together, we have developed a strong bond and communication style that has brought her to achieving her Canine Good Citizen Certificate, and become a calm, confident, well-balanced dog. She also has learned how to communicate with me through augmentative and alternative communication buttons and express her personality in words I can understand which has been mind blowing! I love giving her the best life possible and I’m excited to support you and your furry friend along that journey as well during our time working together. I’m currently an educator who works full-time 10 months out of the year, but am available evenings and weekends. However, during the months of June and July I am available during the mornings, afternoons, or evenings and have a flexible schedule to accommodate you and your pet’s specific needs. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to allow your dog time to run and play freely or just bask in the summer sunshine. My dog needs multiple, slow introductions to new dogs, so if you are in need of overnight care, additional meet and greet walks would be required to make sure they are a good fit together before any bookings.
“Carmen was great! Highly recommend her. She pet sit 2 dogs and 2 cats for us- our super shy cat even warmed up for her. I will be rebooking her services for our next vacation!”
About: I have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience. I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park. I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.
About: Have administered specialized medicine to senior animals for ongoing diseases such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Was very diligent nursing my senior kitty before he passed. I work and go to school so my schedule varies but I always have some nights and mornings free each week that I would love to use on animals. Constant Care policy: if you are needing constant care that would require me to not leave for more than 4 hours, please book atleast 2 weeks ahead of whatever dates you need so I can accommodate that. I would also need to adjust my rate to reflect the lost income. I understand and respect animals boundaries and try my best not to encroach them. I've also mastered the "foot as barrier" approach when opening doors.
About: I have experience in cat sitting with clients, some of them had anxious cats that were more on the spicy side. I gained their trust and surprised their owners when they found out how close and cuddly they got with me, that's my quality. I don't expect every cat to open all of their boundaries and I respect doing what they want. 😸 I am known to socialize with the cats outside of just feeding them and cleaning their litterbox. I have had 3 cats of my own, 2 which have been elderly cats who needed medicine and careful care. 💊 I am very good at administering meds and staying consistent. I have had two dogs which both crossed the rainbow bridge from elderly age (a malamute and a newfoundland). I am an equal cat and dog lover! I would love to have a dog again one day. I walk with a cane so I am comfortable walking small dogs. 🐶 I have a very flexible schedule since I work from home. I can stop by any time in the mornings, afternoons, and also early evenings. When going to a client's home, I am very careful when entering and exiting the home when the door opens. I also do a head count of any cats including my own before leaving a house. I know from my own pet that they like to get curious and can suddenly go into a bathroom or closet and can get closed in. Just like my teaching days - taking head counts is important! I also watch the pets as they eat especially if there are multiple in a house so that they don't overeat by sneaking snacks from their pet buddies food.
“Shyla was very reliable stopping in to care for my 6 cats. I didn't worry at all, except that 4 of them wouldn't come out of hiding when she came! That's not unusual, though. She left the house clean and in order. Everything was done properly. She was good at communicating with me and sent some cute pictures. I am so happy I found her and have another trip coming up, so I hope she is available! Shyla, please let me know if there is anything that would make your visits easier or if you have any suggestions for me. Thank you!”
“Thank you Shawn! You were easy to work with and I felt Sonny would be very well cared for, I was very happy to find someone close by who was good with large dogs. I would definitely book with Shawn again :)”
About: I have one Chocolate Lab named Coco at home I’ve taken care of for about 13 years or so. There is also a small dog my roommate has I have taken care of before. My parents also have 2 cats at home I’ve cared for over the weekends. I am always willing to learn new things and help animals! I have college classes and get done by 2 so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I also come home to a little dog everyday that my roommate has so I’m used to seeing pets around me! I can clean up accidents from dogs and cats, have a great deal of experience with leash walking and supervise pets to avoid any harm happening to them.
About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I am an honest and hard worker and I provide good communication with my clients. I am a student at parkside with one year left until I graduate. With my schedule, I am able to pet sit during the day and overnight on weekdays and I’m fully available on weekends. When I’m pet sitting in a clients home, I spend the majority of my day there playing with and taking care of the pets. I put the pet’s needs first and maintain good communication with the owners to ensure their pet is taken care of properly. I treat the home with respect and ensure the owners of the home know my schedule so there are no surprises while I’m watching their pets.
About: I’ve spent a majority of my life around animals. Growing up, we had a variety in the house (dogs, cats, fish, squirrels). I’ve learned that being calm, loving, and patient is the key to dealing with any pet. Like people, pets have their own quirks and personalities that is an absolute joy to learn about! I currently assist my sister with her two boys. Now that they are both in school, my schedule is much more open. I help get them to school early in the morning, and help pick them up in the afternoon. I have no problem helping with specialty pet needs and care, whether that be crating, medications, or assisted devices. Your pets are in great hands :)
About: I’ve had and cared for dogs my whole life. I currently have four about 50lb dogs. (A Silver lab, pit bull/boxer, chocolate lab/pointer, and a vizla/pit bull/lab mix). Two that were rescues. My mom worked in a vet clinic when I was a child, and I grew up to be a vet assistant at a clinic myself. I know what to do in emergency situations, and remain calm. I am a very loyal and responsible person. I am also a very loving and caring individual. I love every shape, size, and type of dog. They are all unique and want to be loved in each individual way. I would love to be the person to bring your dog happiness by playing with them, walking them, and giving them what they need.
About: I have a deep love for dogs of all breeds and would be thrilled to care for your furry friend while you’re away. With a lifetime of experience as a dog owner, I currently have three Airedales. Over the years, I’ve completed numerous obedience classes with my dogs, and I’m skilled at applying that knowledge to provide quality care. I’m experienced in raising puppies, including training basic commands, potty training, and leash walking. My one-year-old is even competing in dock diving and barn hunting, which highlights my commitment to providing enriching experiences for dogs. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, as my 11-year-old pup requires regular medical attention. In addition, I’m skilled in bathing and grooming, having always groomed my own dogs. I even have a grooming table, so your dog will receive top-notch care if required. As a stay-at-home mom with older adult kids and a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to walk, play with, or house-sit for your pups with all the attention they deserve. For your peace of mind, I’ll always walk your dog on a leash. If you have a fenced yard, we can enjoy a fun game of fetch. And if your pup needs to be crated when I leave, rest assured they’ll be content and happily exhausted after all the playtime!
About: Since 2019, I've been committed to the well being of dogs and cats, offering trusted, reliable, and professional care. While my experience may be selective, each client I've served has left glowing reviews, reflecting the quality and dedication I bring to every job. Your pet companion is in good hands with my proven track record of satisfied clients. My current availability for pet services is contingent upon my full time employment, which spans Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, usually. My work is flexible as well. I am able to bring animals to my office. I operate on a hybrid work model, with a predominant presence in the office rather than at home. In my home or at my client's, the pets' safety and happiness are my top priorities. I customize care routines for each furry friend, sticking to their usual schedule for feeding, playtime, and keeping an eye on them. I make sure the environment is safe and comfy, and I'm always up for fun and cuddles to keep them content. I keep the client updated and have a plan in case of any surprises. Basically, I aim to make sure the pets feel right at home, whether they're with me or at their owner's place. I do have a fenced in yard and my own space to keep the pet comfortable.
“Cayla goes above and beyond, provides outstanding care for my one year old golden retriever who can be a handful at times. Cayla is very patient, playful, flexible and provides detailed updates and great photos. I highly recommend her!!”

Your Review Michelle Z. took care of my two cats, one of which is totally blind. I knew the first time I met Michelle, she was the right person for the job, but she far exceeded my expectations. She helped me troubleshoot getting rid of uninvited guests to the food bowls, volunteered to come for extra visits when the need arose, washed out the wet food cans before throwing in the recyclable bin and she kept the house, the floors, the litter boxes and the food bowls spic-and-span. I highly recommend Michelle, and will request her in the future, Lee R.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sturtevant is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sturtevant. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
