“Mackenzie has been great with our dogs! We have a reactive pup that loves to act tough when he meets people for the first time. She planned a meet and greet and did great with him. Giving him time and space to get comfortable around her. After a few visits he was climbing in her lap to hang out and get pets. She was always great with communication, last minute requests, and updates every day. She even wiped their paws on rainy days when they ran in mud. Our pups love her and always look forward to seeing her.”

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: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who started dog walking through Rover and quickly realized how much I enjoy spending time with pups and getting them out for a fun walk. I currently work full-time, so my schedule changes from week to week. Because of that, I’m not able to commit to a standing weekly walk every week. However, I do have availability for one-time walks and occasional or recurring walks when our schedules line up. If you’re looking for someone reliable who can help out here and there, I’d love to meet your pup! I have hands-on experience caring for French Bulldogs, Labradors, and Great Danes. I’m comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, exercise routines, and special care instructions. And a special note for Great Dane parents: I absolutely LOVE Great Danes! 🐾 I’d be especially excited to meet and walk your gentle giant. 😊 Whether your pup needs a good walk while you’re busy, some extra exercise, or simply a little attention and companionship, I’d be happy to help when my schedule allows. Feel free to reach out with the days/times you need, and we can see if we’re a good match! 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.

“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!”

About: I’m a responsible, patient, and attentive pet lover who treats every dog like family. I’m happy to stick to their normal routine, from walks and potty breaks to meals, playtime, and belly rubs. My goal is simple: to keep your pup happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I'm pretty flexible after work during the week and on weekends, I like going for walks, playing with dogs, and giving them plenty of attention. I'm pretty confident your pup and I will become fast friends! Your home is your pet’s happy place, so I’ll treat it with care and respect. I’ll follow your instructions, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your pup stays comfortable in their normal routine.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I have an 11-year-old maltese of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Growing up, I also helped care for family, friends’, and neighbors’ dogs, giving me experience with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy or a drop-in visit for potty breaks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s unique routine and needs. I know that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, so I’ll always provide updates and photos to help you feel connected and give you peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend! I’m currently on a career sabbatical, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’ve been spending my summer outdoors, walking local parks, exploring nature, and enjoying time fishing. Staying active and getting outside with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, a drop-in visit while you’re at work, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule whenever possible. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big responsibility, and I don’t take that lightly. During every drop-in visit, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, whether that’s feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, administering simple care instructions, or simply providing companionship while you’re away. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same respect and care I would my own. Communication is important to me, so you can expect timely updates, photos, and a summary of each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Troy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Troy on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 3,663 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Troy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
