“Jeannine did a terrific job, especially when it came to adapting to things I screwed up. The pups were in great spirits when I got home, and Jeannine was kind enough to share photos of how were visits with the pups went! Highly recommended!”
“Kira is a very friendly and confident person who was wonderful with my 2 dogs. I have a senior dog and an energetic dog -she was great with both. Kira was comfortable with giving them their medications and she walked them every day. She sent lots of great pics. We felt very confident leaving our dogs in her care. She also took out our garbage cans without us having to ask her to and brought in our mail!”
“Cat whisperer! My cat billy doesnt accept most people and im so happy to see he was open to her cuddles and would purr?. Bettina was amazing at communicating and sending the best photos and videos. I have anxiety leaving my quarantine kitty but for the first time I actually felt calm knowing he was in the best hands. Im so grateful for her kindness and care towards my cat.”
About: I've had animals of all kinds growing up, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hedgehog, rabbit, hamster, turtles, crawfish ect. I have been working at a horse barn for 6 years and a kennel that has primarily dogs but some cats as well for 4 years. I'm also certified in dog CPR! I work a full time job from 6:30am-3pm on Monday - Friday. If you live in Troy I can let the dog out to potty in the middle of the day on my 30 minute lunch break! I promise to send lots of pictures of the fur babies! I love to spoil them like my own, I will give updates as much or as little as you like!
About: Leaving your dog with someone else is a big deal, and I’m here to make that experience stress-free! While I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for furry friends, including my sisters Australian Shepard for the past 8 years. I especially love playful, high-energy dogs and enjoy long walks, playtime, cuddles and plenty of attention! My goal is to treat each dog like my own and make each pup feels loved and cared for while their humans are away:) I currently have lots of free time and would love to fill it up. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am available for day of bookings if needed:) I am good at following instructions to every detail. I enjoy exploring new walking paths if the dogs are open to it, otherwise we can stick to the usual routines.
“Rileigh was amazing with my cat, Birdie! I was able to actually relax and enjoy my vacation knowing he was being so well taken care of and was happy at home. Getting updates and photos throughout the weekend made my heart so full and gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for how well she cared for him and would absolutely trust her with Birdie again! 🥹❤️”
About: I’ve always had a variety of pets including 4 cats and 5 dogs throughout my lifetime and understand the needs of each from puppy’s and kittens to senior dogs and cats. In addition I have experience in home care and drop in visits for family and friends dogs and cats throughout my life giving me insight on how to best care for animals with vastly different personalities. After my regular job ends at 3:30 I will typically have availability after 4pm to around 10pm every day with few exceptions for personal appointments and family events. During a typical visit, after taking care of basic needs like food, water, and bathroom breaks, I focus on exercise and socialization to ensure your pet is happy and tired before the visit is completed.
About: I have been taking care of pets for almost all my life. We've always had pets at home. Their love to us is infinite and unconditional. I will take care of you pet as if it was mine. With my fenced yard and huge basement, your pet will not get bored with me! I do not work, so I am available to pick-up/drop your pet at your place if needed, walk your dog at the nearby park, or just spend time to play and make your pet enjoys its stay! I have a fenced yard, huge open-space basement, and a beautiful, large park minutes away walking from home. 5-star vacation guaranteed for your best friend!
About: I’ve been caring for my 7 year old dog since she joined our family, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I also have lots of experience spending time with friends’ and family members’ dogs and cats, and I truly love being around animals. I enjoy going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, and making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m currently working full-time so right now my availability is only on Saturdays and Sundays. However there might be some days during the week here and there that work for me. I love spending time with my dog through cuddling, playing, and going on daily walks. Since we don’t have a fenced-in yard, I make sure she gets plenty of exercise and outdoor time by staying with her while she runs and plays or taking her for walks. I would give every pet I care for that same love, attention, and exercise while also following their normal routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Jackie is absolutely wonderful! We always book with her for all our trips. She always goes above and beyond taking care of Nigel while we’re away. She leaves super detailed notes from her visits, sends lots of pictures, and is always very communicative from start to finish. Nigel has a few special needs/requirements and Jackie is always more than accommodating, including giving him multiple medications. He’s also a super anxious boy and is nervous around most people, but he absolutely loves Jackie! Can’t recommend her enough!”
“Bri is just the absolute best!! We are so grateful for her and arrow. My dog is a nervous boy who doesn’t love other people but they are able to bring him out of shell and make him comfortable.”
About: I absolutely love to care and play with dogs! Throughout my time working with dogs I have given dogs medicine and now have special experience of watching them and caring for them. I have a dog of my own he is an Old English Sheepdog and lives with my parents. I have cared for cats and other animals throughout my life as well. I must note that I love big dogs and have experience with extra large dogs including Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, and Dobermans. however, no matter the size of your dog or puppy I’ll take special care of them, from Great Dane’s to Basset Hound’s to Chihuahuas! I am good with puppies and with older dogs. I do my best to give oral medication if needed. I would love to be the one to take care of your fur baby and can be flexible with scheduling! I am currently a college student in Detroit. I have classes 3 days a week. When I confirm a booking I commit to staying with the dogs as much as possible. I care for pets outside of my home by making sure they are comfortable with me, playing with them but knowing when they are aggressive or not. I also give some very good scratches.
About: I’m a proud dog mom to a sweet 22-pound Cavapoo, so I know firsthand how much our furry family members mean to us! I love spoiling my pup with lots of love, cuddles, belly rubs, and attention, and I’ll treat your dog with that same love and care. I understand that every dog has their own unique personality and needs, and I’m happy to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience administering medications and understand the importance of following your pet’s care routine. My goal is to make every tail wag and ensure your fur baby feels right at home! 🐶💕 I currently have a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time, attention, and love to your pup! Your fur baby will never feel overlooked and will receive the personalized care, companionship, and belly rubs they deserve. 🐾❤️ I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs, personality, and routine. My priority is to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where your pup feels secure while you’re away. I know being separated from their family can be an adjustment, so I do my best to maintain their usual routine, from mealtimes and walks to playtime and cuddles. My goal is to make the transition as stress-free as possible, giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in caring, attentive, and trustworthy hands. They deserve to feel just as loved and comfortable as they do when you're at home! 🐾❤️
“This was our second time booking with Libby & just like the first time- absolutely no issues. She took great care of our cat as well as feeding the birds (and squirrels). We completely trust her with our cat & most definitely will book her again.”
About: I have experience working in a kennel/boarding facility, rescue, and have owned & resided with dogs my entire life. No matter the size or temperament, I would be honored to assist with your fur baby! I am available from 6am-10:30am and 6:30pm-midnight Monday - Friday, and am fully available on weekends! My work allows a very flexible schedule and I enjoy filling my free time with furry friends. I am a firm believer in providing care that is catered and specific to each animal. Each require various levels of exercise, different feeding techniques, and comfortable environments.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Troy
Eden was very personable and confident, which I greatly appreciated because I have a diabetic cat. It’s very hard to find a sitter who can do subcutaneous shots and she was completely open to learning. In addition she offered to water my flowers and take out the garbage. I highly recommend her!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Troy is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $26 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 3,575 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Troy. 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 Troy. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
