“I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.”
About: I've owned dogs for about 20 years now. I love them and they love me back. Befriending animals is a skill that comes naturally to me and I would love to help you care for yours. I do work full time M-F during first shift but my schedule is flexible. After work hours, my schedule is also varied but when I make a commitment, I adhere to it. I'm always punctual and communicative. I'm happy to adhere to your guidelines for your pet. We can walk, run, play, train, treat, feed, etc. I want you and your pet to get the most out of this service.
“Sarah was amazing with our pup! He loves her so much and she made sure he had no accidents the whole visit. She was so great about keeping us updated on how he was doing and sending photos to keep us posted! We would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and knowledgeable pet sitter. ☺️”
“Makayla is so kind and so great with my kitty, Misty. My kitty loves her and they really enjoy each other! Definitely will keep booking her to care for my Misty. Highly recommend.”
“Jaclyn is caring and detailed. Our four kitties love her! We just finished a 12 day vacation and the pictures she sent helped us know that they were just fine while we were away.”
About: I have taken care of all types of animals most of my life! I am reliable, easy going and constantly walking. I use to volunteer for some years at Michigan’s humane society and have watched many of my city neighbors animals for about 10! I am available Monday- Friday, anytime after 4pm. I am available all day on weekends. If mornings are needed I can be available before 6am but nothing after. My cat currently is on meds as well as my family dog, any medicine or medical needs I am able to do. I can assure there will be tons of interaction time and if you have clear instructions, they will be followed!
“Olivia has been great with my pup! She comes 2-3x every week for drop in visits and walks. She goes above and beyond and sends me picture updates and always makes sure my doggo is happy and taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Carissa took great care of our two pit bull mixes with drop-in visits at our home. One of our dogs is quite skittish with new people and she won him over quickly. We especially loved getting photos at every visit. We will rebook her again.”
“We had a family emergency and needed someone to watch our two large, super energetic dogs on short notice. Patricia was available right away to help and did an amazing job. The dogs loved her and we had no worries while we were away handling our family emergency. We are still so grateful for her help and professionalism!”
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have my own puppy, Mika, and I’ve helped care for her dog parents and their litter of nine puppies, which gave me valuable experience with young dogs and the extra attention they require. I’ve also cared for a doodle named Libby, as well as my foster parents’ dogs, Bella and Brutus. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable managing multiple dogs, maintaining routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and making sure each dog receives individual attention and care. As a nanny, I’m naturally patient, attentive, and dependable. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I am on summer break from graduate school until I go back the last week of August. I currently have Tuesdays-Thursdays free and Saturdays and Sundays free! I will follow any sort of special feeding schedule, and I am able to crate dogs of they need to be! I have a dog who likes to try and run out the front door so I have lots of experience making sure dogs like her stay inside and safe! I also have 10+ years of cat experience and stick to strict feeding times and cleaning litter boxes!
“Alexis came over to meet Mabel and Edith ahead of potential overnight stays and occasional walks. She was patient with our very friendly (and very excited) girls, who love new people and have absolutely no sense of personal space. She asked thoughtful questions about their routines and personalities, and even about their sister cat, Samoa Jane. Alexis quickly picked up on the girls’ quirks and need for attention, balancing engaging with them while also taking the time to answer our questions. The girls went looking for her after she left, a clear sign they were happy to have met a new friend!”
About: I worked at Potter Park Zoo. I have experience boarding, and training dogs. I have the experience to keep your pets both safe and happy. I care for dogs and cats daily as the owner of a boarding facility. This will be another offering for my customers and the community. There is opportune time to attend to in home visits. I will use my experience of owning a boarding facility, which can house up to 34 pet guests, to care for your pets in your home. I will feed, let out and interact and play with them.
About: We will treat your dog(s) as our own. My friends tell me I have a special way of patting dogs and they (the dogs) seem to love it. They will get good belly rubs, behind-the-ear scratches and whatever love they need from both my husband and me. Our large fenced yard will entice your dog(s) to run and play as well as relax. We are comfortable looking after more than one dog at a time as we have a dog of our own. Just an FYI, Fiona, our 14.5 year old passed away in December 2023. We adopted Meeka in February 2024 who loves playing with other dogs and people. We also just adopted Simba in mid-April 2024. He is slowly getting socialized and loves playing with Meeka. They definitely keep each other company! Your dogs will also feel more comfortable in our house knowing that they are welcome and have familiar dog faces and smells here. I am also comfortable taking care of your dog(s) in your house to ensure your fur-children continue to stay in the comforts of their own homes. My husband and I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) soon. My husband and I do this together. We both work full-time at the office but I work 2 days from home. During the in-office days, we will let the dogs out when we wake up and after one of us get back home. The other two days and on weekends, they get let out every 2-3 hours or as and when they need to go. My husband helps me when he’s home and we go for daily walks in the evenings and weekends. We love patting and playing with them as that’s our routine with our own dogs so rest assured, we’ll make sure your dog gets loved too. Meet and greets are always preferred because we want to make sure you’re comfortable with our family and vice versa. If your dog(s) will be in our home, my husband will be helping out. Therefore, we want to make sure our pups play well with each other too. If you need a house sitter while you’re gone because it’s easier and better for your pets to be in the comforts of their own home, it’ll either be my husband or I. In this case, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with both of us. Boarding/Daycare: We have a fenced backyard and require all boarders to be crate-trained and come with a crate, especially for feeding time and if things get wild. For older dogs like when we had Fiona, she struggled to go up and down the deck stairs so I let her out in the front yard which isn’t fenced. However, I went with her and she was great at not taking off with me and my husband. Meeka and Simba are always leashed when they get let out in the front. If you’re worried about your dog being in the front yard, we will always use a leash. Otherwise, the backyard is more than sufficient if they’re okay with stairs. Home Sitting: We will do our best to stick with your routine with your dog. I do work full-time, 2 days from home and my husband goes to the office all 5 days. If your dog loves walks/car rides, we'd be happy to have them meet ours and they can walk together. If there are other animals in your home that's need to be card for, please let us know. I am an animal lover and will learn quickly to care for animals I’ve not taken care of before.
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm with two dogs as a child and have had many different-sized animals since. Im currently laid off work while recovering from a shoulder surgery so I have open availability and my shoulder is healed so I have no restrictions on walks or animal size I own a fenced-in lot next to my house for outside time. I have one super friendly dog who loves it out there and a room with a door so I don't have to use a crate inside.
About: Not only did I grow up with dogs, I have worked as a certified dog trainer at Petco for over a year. I am a trustworthy resource for your dog. I’m currently working part time and have a strict schedule of availability on Monday- Thursday every week. Just beep me if you wanna reach me! I will be mindful of your dogs boundaries, I don’t pet dogs that don’t like to be pet. I will provide your dog with water and food as needed. When a dog shows signs they have to go potty I will let them outside or take them on a walk and clean after them. When dogs get bored I will play with them and keep them entertained with their toys and treats. I practice training tricks to keep their brains happy and stimulated!
About: I’m a 28-year old work-from-home professional who loves taking care of and spending time with dogs! I’ve grown up with dogs for 20 years and have experience watching dogs for 6+ years. I have a spacious 1,500 sq ft house with a designated mudroom to board your pet, along with a 0.28 acre backyard for playing around and stretching their legs. While most of my experience is with medium-sized dogs, I enjoy taking care of all dog sizes and breeds. Additionally, I have experience with administering daily medication and eye drops with dogs and am happy to do the same if your pet requires some extra care. I look forward to meeting you, your animal and making them feel comfortable at their home away from home!
About: I’ve had the joy of owning cats and dogs for many many years. I have owned several varieties. I have also had the joy of taking care of other peoples pets. I currently work part-time and I can fit pet Care into my daily and or weekly routine with ease. I am available for more hours in the summer. I tend to care for others pets in their home or walking. I do have my own pets and I know it’s not best to introduce unknown animals.
“Felix went above and beyond what we agreed upon. Felix was great with my two large dogs. I really appreciate you and your services and look forward to booking with you in the future. If you need someone who will take care of your dogs with love and affection book with Felix. Thank you!”

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 Swartz Creek 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 Swartz Creek 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 Swartz Creek with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
