About: I had a dog for 6 years and have taken care of many cats for friends. I love animals but can't have any pets in my college dorm... so I would love to take care of yours and give you peace of mind knowing that your pet is in loving hands while you're away! I'm a college student and I make my schedule so that I have a lot of free time for myself. When you book, I'll let you know the specific times I can drop by! In your home, I'll follow all directions you provide and be sure to take care of your pet the way you always do. I'll treat them like my own and follow the routine they're used to :)
“Jordyn was amazing. She was communicative, flexible and took the extra steps to ensure my dog Oby was taken care of. She took time out of her day beforehand to come and meet him, learn his routine and provided an unparalleled peace of mind knowing that my dog was going to be looked after while I was gone. I cannot recommend her enough and she will be my first contact for any future trips.”
“I have hired Libby for the past couple of weeks and could not been happier. Was a little nervous using Rover but Libby has put my mind at ease. My cats like her, her pics that she takes are great. Libby has notice an issue fixed it and she let me know what it was and how she fixed it. So really good communication. Will continue to keep her caring for my cats.”
“Marielle was fantastic with my pups. She was great with making sure to be there around the same times. The dogs warmed up to her very quickly. Lots of pictures and updates. Will 100% book her again!!”
About: Taking care of your pet is my passion. I can teach your dog some new tricks! I’ve been trained to tell when a dog is overheating, what to do during seizures and how to give your pets their medications. Because of the volume of bookings I’m currently only accepting long term stays. Has to be a minimum of 3 days. My schedule is wide open so every minute will be spend making sure your best friend gets the proper care it needs. I’m also available to pick pets up to and from vet visits. I will be there for your animal day or night. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rover is my full time job so I have open availability! Your pet will have my full attention and love. Plenty of time for cuddles. At the moment I do not offer daycare, however if I stay in your home, I always make sure I leave it how I found it.
“Kelly was wonderful with our cat! She kept us updated on when she was there and sent us wonderful photos. We totally trusted her to be in our home and to take care of our cat when we were out of town. We’d highly recommend her!”
About: I have pet sit for my neighbor’s cats multiple times. I have walked my other neighbor’s dog. I volunteered at Premier Pet Supply in middle school. I have owned fish, hamsters, and lizards, but have always wanted a dog or cat. I am a runner and am very active outside, so I will make sure your dog is well in shape. I am currently cleaning houses part time, but I have full availability on most weekends (Friday through Sunday) and weekdays after 4pm. Some days I can work sooner it just depends on my schedule. I keep on eye on my pets and all times to make sure they stay out of trouble while making sure they have the freedom to play and be themselves.
“Samatha was fantastic!! Stayed way longer than she had to since my boy was enjoying outside. I will be booking again! She even came over quickly for our meet and greet because I was on a tight schedule. I knew my cats and I were a priority to her. Thank you so much for all the pictures too! I will be recommending you to everyone in my subdivision!”
“Jason was great - this was our first time having him do drop - in’s for us and it was for a longer trip for us - 10 days out of state. He definitely went above and beyond and we would have him back.”
“Sam is the best! I met with Sam before leaving for the week and saw how great she was with my cats. I received great feedback every day on her visit and the cats. She was consistent and super courteous, going above and beyond by keeping the kitchen swept, the cat dishes clean, and spending time with my cats. I highly recommend Sam to care for your fur babies!”
“Evelyn was amazing! She is so very kind and gentle. She is also a fabulous artist. She drew an awesome picture of our cats. She captured not only what they looked like but their personalities. It was so considerate of her. I am framing it for my office!”
“We’re lucky to have Liz watch our beloved pets! She is dependable, smart, and considerate. Lillie and Katie look forward to seeing her and I have peace of mind knowing she is there. She also sends really cute pics!”
About: I recently lost my 13 year old lab who had mobility issues and needed extra help getting around. She also had an immune disorder that required multiple different daily medications. I have rugs throughout my home to ensure paws have good grip walking on the hardwood floors, a help-me up harness for a large dog and a fenced in yard with organic grass to chew on (I don’t use any pesticides). She passed away late last year and would love to continue to care for your dog like it was my own! I usually work from home and spend a lot of free time at home as well. If dogs are staying with me, I would walk them at least twice a day and let them out in the yard multiple times a day. I try to follow a similar schedule that you do with your dog as much as possible (food schedule, walk schedule, ect.). I have clean dog beds and I allow the dogs to sleep up on the couch if they are potty trained. There are no dogs living in my home but sometimes I get multiple requests to watch dogs. Please let me know if you prefer to have your dog(s) be the only dogs in the home during their stay. Also, it helps a ton if you fill out your dog’s full profile and indicate things like if they get along with other dogs or are reactive in certain situations and other things to look out for. Please fill out before a request if you can.

“Katie was great! She gave both my babies all the loving and attention they needed. She took lots of photos and left detailed notes about things she took care of for them. I will be using her for future drop in visits!”
“Katherine saved us in a pinch when our cat sitter for our wedding fell through last minute. She was kind, communicated great, and gave our cats extra love and treats. Could not recommend her more!”
“Lauren was amazing with my dog for the week we needed her! Very timely, communication wasn’t an issue and she is just a kind person. She sent lots of pictures too😍 I felt so much better leaving to go out of town with her watching my dog and taking care of a few items I needed done. I will definitely use Lauren in the future!”

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.

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
