About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, starting as a teenager when I began pet sitting for family friends and neighbors, and I’ve loved it ever since. My primary experience is caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a slower, more gentle routine. I treat every dog and cat in my care like they’re my own, focusing on their comfort, safety, and happiness while you’re away. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that means walks, playtime, enrichment, structured routines, or quiet companionship. I also have experience administering oral medications and injections when needed. I have additional hands-on experience with small pets and other animals, including birds and reptiles, which has strengthened my overall understanding of animal behavior and care. No matter the pet, I provide reliable, attentive care so they feel secure and well cared for in your absence. I’m currently a teacher on summer break and looking forward to spending my days doing something I truly enjoy—caring for animals! My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide attentive, consistent pet care throughout the day. I provide care exclusively in clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar, comfortable environment. I prioritize maintaining their normal routines and creating a calm, low-stress presence, and I aim to be as unobtrusive as possible in the home so pets feel safe and at ease while their owners are away.
“Michaela and Mindy have been checking in on our pups for a couple of years now and they continue to be extremely flexible with our scheduling needs and our dogs just love them!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 and I remain a consistent reliable source with my own pets and my friends and extended families as well. I have experience with elderly pets as well as puppies as I am aware they require more attention and supervision. I am currently working part time, However, I am available to hang with your adorable pet on Mondays, Fridays, and weekends for walks, playtime, and all the love they need. I will provide your pet with the traditional care they need such as being fed, walks, and playtime. I love playing fetch with my dog, Phil, and your pet as well. I love to take pets for rides, go swimming, and most of all, I love to cuddle and give the pet all the love they need. Your baby will also be my baby and I will spoil them with love!
About: I have 3 years experience babysitting for a private family, they had 3 children and a dog. On multiple occasions I was asked to come to the house once or twice a day, let her out, play with her and feed her! I’ve done this one day at a time, or even 4-5 days in a row as they were out of town! I also dog sat/house sat last summer for an adorable senior black lab for two weeks. I slept at the house, fed her, took her on walks, and of course played with her! I recently dog sat for 4 days, and just came twice a day to let him out, play with him, feed him, and took him on a walk as she requested! I’m currently working part time, so my schedule is flexible enough for me to consistently provide attentive pet care throughout the week! I enjoy making time for walks, play, and scratches. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them and you feel comfortable and stress free. In my client’s home, I make sure pups are fed on schedule, exercised, given attention, and kept in a clean and safe environment! I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away.
“Megan has been helping us out with our brand new puppy for the past couple months and she’s been nothing short of spectacular with Lily! She’s does a great job at caring for our dog as if she’s one of her own and keeping her well fed, walked, and played in even the short time she spends with her each day. We couldn’t recommend Megan enough to anybody that has dog-watching needs!”
“Stephanie did a great job watching our GSP. Pictures were sent every day and it was clear to see he was getting attention and great play time. There was no issues with the holiday making the trip away more relaxed. She was flexible and communicated well as she did what was needed with her schedule keeping our pups needs in mind. Would recommend her and will be rebooking for our next trip.”
“Katie is an excellent pet sitter and helped us with two kitties. Her help brought peace of mind and the first time for me finding a sitter on Rover. She always sent me updates and photos and took really good care of our pets. Highly recommend Katie!”
About: Specialize in small dog boarding, and drop in visits for dogs of all sizes! Currently I have a loving 7lbs bichon mix. Previously I have had 1 australian shepard and 3 cats. I have worked with animal shelters-mainly dog and also cat rescue. I can also help with basic obedience training and leash walking. Would love to help take care of your fur baby! Work part time/remotely. I have a fenced in patio area for bathroom relief and take dogs on walks in nearby parks to explore new places. My Bichon mix doesn’t respond to any harsh tones. Therefore happy voices, positive reinforcement, patience and love was what got us on the same page. Would love to care for other animals the same way.
“Alexandra was a fantastic cat sitter for us! Her check-ins were so nice because kids wanted to see pictures of our cat. They were so happy when she did! 5 stars! Excited to work with her again”
About: I've walked dogs in the metro Detroit area for around 5 years. I love active dogs, but I don't mind to slow the pace if your dog isn't as energetic. I'm available all day for walks and visits. For boarding and sitting, I am typically available if given a week of prior notice. I love to make sure your companion feels loved and cared for, even when you are away. Dogs love routine and I will adapt to yours! I have experience with all ages, from puppy to senior, and I can administer medications as well. I have plenty of experience with cats and other pets, including the very shy. I live pretty close to the 696 and 75 junction, so getting to and from my house is usually easy. Fortunately, I am currently available for walks, visits, and boarding full time as your schedule needs. I have my own dog and two cats that require my care daily. My yard is fully privacy fenced with a large deck. I have a few small gates I can set up in the house for introducing animals slowly or separating everyone for downtime and breaks. I have a few harnesses/collars, leashes, and a caution symbol to use on walks unless you prefer your current gear. I own a large crate for my 80lb lab that can be used as needed.
About: I have grown up with cats in my personal household along with caring for family and family friends dogs while they are away on vacation. I started taking care my family friends animals at a young age (around 12 or 13 years old) with my parents help given I wasn’t 16 yet and couldn’t drive. Being away at college made me realize how animal deprived I am so a job like this is a perfect fit for me. On on Monday's and Wednesday’s I am in class until 2pm and get home closer to 3pm. Tuesdays and Thursdays I leave for class @3pm and come back closer to 7:30/8pm. Fridays I leave for class @12pm and come back around 2:45/3pm. My weekends are spent doing homework at my apartment :) I am very diligent on following instructions and any task set in front of me so I am able to accommodate specific needs for each animal I care for.
“Kendall is wonderful! She gave us peace of mind with her updates and our two dogs enjoyed enjoyed her company. We will be repeat customers in the future! Thanks again, Kendall.”

Mekenzie stopped by twice on the Fourth of July to check on my dogs with very short notice. She followed all of my instructions, took great care of them, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I really appreciated her reliability and would happily book her again.

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 Troy 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 Troy 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.

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 Troy 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.
