About: Happy to help with your dog sitting and dog walking needs. Have lived in Lake Orion/Oxford area my whole life. Have experience with dogs, cats, dragons, lizards, turtles (boy mom… have had experience with many animals over the years). Have been dog sitting for a few of my friends over the years and looking for a few more good dogs to sit/walk. I have been a registered nurse for 19 years and currently work full time remote from my home. 8-4:30pm (can shift hours a bit if needed). Your pet will be spoiled while they are in my care and I will follow any instructions given to accommodate the pets current lifestyle needs.
“Our dogs LOVE Jamie! She is great at communicating with us when booking and during her check ins with our fur babies! If she ever has questions or concerns, she’s always reaching out which makes us feel even more comfortable with leaving her with our babies.”
“I highly recommend Margaret. I have an energetic puppy. Margaret gave her a wonderful walk every day rain or shine, and played tug-of-war (my puppy's favorite!) with her reamining time. She communicated with me after every visit and sent me videos of the dog walks. I will absolutely use Margaret again. Very professional.”
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
“Lindsay was quick to reply when we picked u[ our new family member that needed potty breaks while we work. She's dependable and has been great caring for our almost 12 week old Golden St. Berdoodle. We are heading into week 3 using her services and plan to continue for a long time with her.”
“Victoria has watched our kitties multiple times and does a fabulous job! We had a health scare shortly before we were leaving for our trip and she kept such a good eye on my cat and stayed in contact with me about how he was doing at each visit which really helped ease my worries and anxiety. She is so sweet & kind! Would highly recommend if you need a trusted sitter! Thanks so much again! 💓”
“Rebecca was SO good with our boys! They don't love strangers but she was so patient with them. She arrived on time and spent some quality time with them and followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly. We will be using her again in the future.”
“Hailey was an excellent caregiver for my beagle! She was friendly, thorough, and punctual. She gave me a lot of feedback from her visits, which was very reassuring. I HIGHLY recommend Hailey for pet care!”
“An excellent experience from start to finish. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and very responsible with feeding and playtime. We received regular updates - photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely confident that our cat was in good hands. Would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!”
About: For 10 years, one family trusted me with their kids and their dogs, and I’d love to earn that same trust from you. I cared for their dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. That meant meals, walks, potty training, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Beyond that family, I’ve cared for a wide variety of dogs over the years, which taught me that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of every age, size, and energy level, from rambunctious puppies to laid-back seniors and nervous pups who need a gentle, patient approach. My schedule is fully open, so I can work around your plans, keep your dog’s routine just the way they like it, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.
About: Since I was a child I have always been surrounded by animals! Growing up I’ve loved and helped take care of dogs, cats, fish, and Guinea pigs. I currently have 3 dogs of my own and two cats. I own a small breed dog and two larger breeds and am comfortable taking care of pets of all sizes with various behavior needs. I am a 5th grade math teacher looking for some part time work to supplement my income! I am available for walks after school hours (3:30pm) through the evenings. On weekends I can be available throughout the entire day. I am used to working with high energy dogs and am comfortable walking and playing both on leash and off depending on your preferences. I am very responsible and detail oriented and will follow your wishes when caring for your fur babies!
“Alyssa is truly a kind and genuine individual and you can tell just by meeting her and speaking with her that she really cares for animals. My dogs really like her and I feel so much more at ease knowing they are being checked on by someone who will really make sure they are okay. Having Alyssa to check on my little fluff balls makes me feel lucky this service exists. I know it has really helped my pets to feel more calm while I’m at work. Thank you, Alyssa!!!”
About: Starting my experience with volunteering at my local veterinary clinic after school, starting in elementary to high school, that i now work part time at! A Rescue dog mom of two and two bunnies! As a part time bather with four fur babies of my own, i’d love to share my free time caring for those needed to be cared for. I take extra time to ensure your pets safety every visit by ensuring all gates and doors are shut and latched throughout visits, refill food/water when needed, check the security of collars, harness and leash before exiting home, be sure to secure your pet in a safe space in your home before leaving your visit, and send photos of your pet with any additional notes and information!
About: I have over 5 years of professional pet care experience and as an emergency veterinary nurse. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have three dogs of my own and have been surrounded by animals my entire life, so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I currently work midnights only three days a week, so it is easy for me to make time to drop into your home when needed. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to try to keep their routine and to make it as stress free as possible. I'll follow your instructions, if provided, for walks, play time, and any special routines they may have.
“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. ☺️”
About: I have had my own pups ever since I was born; small breeds and large breeds. I formerly worked at the Dog Ranch for a few years, so I’m very knowledgeable about many breeds and personalities. I currently stay at home with my 3 year old and 1 year old while doing online schooling, so I am readily available all throughout the day! I do not have a fenced in yard; however, I do have 1.5 acres to walk your pup around for potty breaks! I also have a 25ft lead.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Thomas is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $24 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 2,712 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thomas. 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.
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 Thomas. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Meet & Greet.
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.
