I just returned home and it usually takes Lola some time to warm up to me, she came right out and has been calm. I loved how Felisha contacted me and even took photos of Lola. Thank you so much, Felisha!

Alicia was extremely helpful and my cat - who can be a bit distant at times - warmed up to them very quickly. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a sitter.

Kelsey was wonderful with my cat, Luna! I left for 6 days and Kelsey was great about coming around the same time, spending quality time with Luna during her visit and even went above and beyond by bringing in my trash can and stopping a beeping fire alarm! I would definitely book with Kelsey again. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates each day!

Samantha has been doing drop ins with my dog for a couple of weeks now. She's been great, my dog loves her and is so comfortable with her, which is a relief as a mum of an anxious dog. She followed all my instructions and requests to the T, and has been flexible and accommodating to my changing schedule which is a great plus.

Stevie was absolutely amazing with Pierre! She dropped in to check on him for two days, several times a day, and he just loved her. She came over a day before to meet us and him, and it was a pleasant experience — we all felt comfortable with her. I will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Stevie!

About: Hi, I'm Jon! I'm a dependable pet sitter serving Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, West Bloomfield, Troy, and surrounding areas. As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that pets are family and deserve loving, attentive care when you're away. I share my home with my friendly 4-year-old cat, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care, routines, and understanding animal behavior. Whether your pet needs companionship, feeding, playtime, walks, or drop-in visits, I'll provide personalized care based on their unique needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet receives attention, comfort, and care while their owner is away. I prioritize consistency and communication so pets stay on their normal routine and owners have peace of mind. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client's home, I provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, playtime, companionship, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to each pet's personality and needs, whether they enjoy lots of interaction or prefer a quieter approach. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they're away.

About: I am Petrina, a retired Social Worker, who would LOVE to care for your pets after 35 years of caring for the humans. With just Mario, (my little guy) and me my life style is one of yoga, reading, walking, crafts, biking, cooking just relaxed living and good health. I have experience with dog sitting for my friends. Friends call on me for reliable, safe care of their pets, and I have never failed them. My environment is very dog friendly. The family room goes out to a large plush green space backyard, that is fence secured, with birds, squirrels, chipmunks and hopping frogs for fun. Here pets have active play, rest, relaxation and voiding. This family room can be closed off for potty training if necessary. However, entire home is accessible to pets all day long. A typical day is purposeful, with varied degrees of activity, (depending on needs of pet), and filled with attentive love. A long walking trail and dog park are adjacent to my subdivision where I can take a slow or active walk with lots of socialization if needed and desirable. Pets can really sleep in dog beds or cages or with me or Mario. I can accommodate all special needs pets and have extensive experience with medication administration to cats and dogs.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Arielle as our cat sitter, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From start to finish, Arielle was not only professional but incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Her communication was stellar—each update felt like a warm check-in from a friend, complete with sweet photos and details that showed how well she got to know our cat’s personality. It’s clear Arielle treats her role with genuine care and heart. She took the time to understand our cat’s routines, quirks, and favorite toys, and her attention to those details made all the difference. When we came home, everything was spotless and our cats were calm, content, and clearly loved. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone who brings both skill and kindness to the table, Arielle is a rare find. She didn’t just watch our cats—she cared. And that care showed in every thoughtful gesture.

About: Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm a lover of all things small, cute, and fluffy. I've grown up around yorkies, pomeraninans, and other small breeds so I know them best - their unique, sweet, loving, and sometimes yappy souls hold a special place in my heart. ;) I love and respect these kind creatures with everything in me! My rescue dog ended up being pregnant! So I learned how to care for 4 pom ups from birth. I love to connect and care for animals with the same attention, warmth, and kindness I would want for my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets for vacation, so I want to create a safe space in my care that you and your dogs feel comfortable with! I send lots of detailed updates and photos of your furbaby :) My profile is new! So I would be honored to earn your trust to be your sitter - i'm happy to set up a meet and greet before we lock in the real dates to make you more comfortable if you prefer! I work full time remotely, so I have flexibility to pop in as needed. I have full weekend availability and can usually do mornings and evenings on weekdays, or afternoons if you are nearby. When in a clients home, I treat it with extreme respect. I tread lightly and only come in to care for your pets and take boundaries seriously as this is your personal space, your comfort is my priority!

Mandy was excellent with our senior, blind dog. She sent pictures, and she cuddled and pet our little baby. Our dog lost his mom suddenly (my mother in law). We needed the sitter for her celebration of life. He has been sad and trying to adjust to my home and routines. Mandy made him feel loved and we also appreciated that. ❤️

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Sylvan Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sylvan Lake on Rover is $26.75 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 4,121 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sylvan Lake. 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 Sylvan Lake 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.

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sylvan Lake. 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
