“Wonderful first experience with Abbey! Great communication and my little Stella is usually so shy and barky to new people, but she warmed up instantly to Abbey on our initial meet and greet. I will definitely be booking again, thank you :)”

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.

About: I care for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds. I also can care for a variety of cats. I love animals and care for many at a time at our large home with large yard. Feeding, play time, exercise, administering medicine, and attention are the core parts of my caring for any pet. Time and attention is critical while pets are away. I aim to make their boarding like a journey to explore more things in a caring environment. I have cared for dogs and cats the past 10 years. I provide care in a large home with a large yard.

“Gabriela is a great rover! She is always on time and updates her rover card. Bucky seems to love her, and I appreciate her consistency and flexibility with my schedule!”

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.
About: I have lots of experience over the last 15 years of pet-sitting in other's homes and boarding family members' pets, as well as going for walks and doing pop-ins Currently changing careers from teaching to real estate, so I have lots of time available over the summer! I can easily to pop-ins and walks while out and about. Whatever you say goes! I am happy to accommodate the needs of your fur babies and will do everything I can to make sure they feel loved and cared for while you're not around
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!
“Karen is so wonderful with Bailey! She was very thorough during our meet-and-greet, and made note of everything. I would recommend Karen to any fur baby parents looking for reliable care when you are away.”

“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”

“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 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.
About: I'm experienced with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, and as the pup parent to one who arrived from the rescue with severe separation anxiety, I know how important it can be to maintain a familiar and comfortable environment when a furry friend's family can't be around. I currently offer house sitting, drop-ins, and walks in the following communities: Auburn Hills, Macomb, Ray Township, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Romeo, Shelby Township, Sterling Heights, Utica, and Washington Township. I'm attentive and diligent in following any directions left for your pet's care, and more than happy to set aside time for scritches, head pats, and pup parent updates! What's more, my primary line of work allows me the freedom to work from anywhere with an internet connection, so there's no risk of being called away from house sitting for prolonged and unavoidable stretches. My primary work in TTRPGs is entirely online, mostly working evenings, so I tend to be pretty available during higher-demand times. Even if I'm on a work call, I have the flexibility to call a break in case of, say, urgent outside needs. First and foremost, I recognize that every pet will have different needs and expectations. I always do my best to maintain habits and environments as close to the pet's "normal" as possible, from meal times to outside habits and beyond. I firmly believe you searched up a Rover sitter instead of a high-traffic kennel for a reason, and I always aim for a standard of personalized care that reflects that intentionality.
“Morgan was wonderful with our cats! She always took time to play with heir favorite toys and build relationships with them, including getting one of our very shy cats to let her pet them. Plus she brought in package delivered that came while we were gone and checked in with us on anything she wasn't sure of. It was a huge relief to know our babies were well cared for while we were gone.”

About: Hi there! I started dog walking during the spring while working part-time and absolutely loved spending time with pups. I’m now working full-time, so I can offer one-time dog walks rather than weekly visits. I’d be happy to give your dog a fun, safe, and engaging walk whenever you need a helping hand! I have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs, Labradors, and Great Danes, understanding their unique needs and personalities. I’m comfortable handling specific care routines, managing exercise, and providing plenty of love and attention. I work full-time, and my schedule changes week to week, so I can’t commit to regular weekly walks. I’m available for one-time dog walks and can coordinate times around my work hours — weekdays, evenings, or weekends, depending on the week. Safety is always my top priority, and I’ll treat your furry friend like my own. I will carefully follow all of your instructions for your pet.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I first started pet sitting and dog walking when I was 10 for my family and friends. I’m a first year college student. I’m available every day. I will have more availability during the summer time to pet sit for clients when needed. I will attend and care for your pet in the best possible manner. Making sure to interact with your pet. I will keep you updated on how your pet is doing.

Rachel provided excellent care for my elderly mom's aging dog. She went above and beyond to make her comfortable. Rachel's effective communication allowed my mom to enjoy her trip, knowing her dog was in good hands. She is very trustworthy and caring; we highly recommend her!

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 .

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 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.
