“Carissa dropped in on my two cats while I was out of town for the weekend. It was my first time leaving them after a move and I was worried about how they might react. Carissa's detailed Rover cards helped me feel confident they remained in good spirits during my absence. My cats love playing feather stick toy with her and look forward to having her back soon!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up. I currently don’t have any pets right now because I have 2 little ones at home. I’d love to spend my extra time with furry friends! I currently am home full time with my two little ones. We don’t have any pets right now but would love to spend the extra time we have with some furry friends! I usually wake up around 6:30-7:00am to start my day and head to bed around 9:00pm. I do have a 2 year old and a 2 month old in the home. Pets can easily be separated if needed, we have lots of space. I also have plenty of room for an extra crate and have one available if needed. I live in a very large neighborhood that’s easy to walk and also have trails and parks nearby! I’m already out walking with my littles so why not add a furry friend!
“Ivy did a great job watching my dog Porter. He is a large dog who is afraid of everything, so he can be a challenge to watch. Ivy quickly made friends with him, and she took care of him while we were away for the holiday. She sent some amazing pictures and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for.”

“Our cat LOVES Ava (maybe more than he loves us!). Before our trip, Ava came over to meet our cat and learn about her responsibilities with him. From the moment she walked in our door it was evident how good she is with animals. She was calm and patient with him as she got to know him, she took cues on his favorite ways to play, and she is so knowledgeable about what cats need beyond everyday cat owner knowledge. While we were away, Ava kept us feeling great about our decision to hire her! She was prompt with her check ins and while she was there, she sent us many pictures and videos. Based on what we saw, we could tell that Ava was quickly securing her spot as our cat’s favorite human. She was also attentive to the things we were concerned about (our cat’s tendency to not use the litter box while home alone) and sent us intentional updates on those specific items. We have already hired Ava again and will continue to do so! Thank you, Ava!”

About: My family has always been a "dog" family. I've taken responsibility to take care of all our family dogs and i've grown to love animals ever since then:) I am currently a student at Michigan State University and am available throughout the summer, during school breaks, and on most weekends. During the school year, my availability may vary, but please feel free to message me to check if I'm available:) I read care instructions very carefully and follow all precautions. I am also stronger and can keep them near or control them easier. I love to provide them with love and comfort or any fun play time.
“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. I’ve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if I’m only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.
“Jennifer is very sweet, considerate, respectful, and communicative. She took wonderful care of my cats while I was out of town. She did everything I asked and sent helpful notes and adorable pictures! I will absolutely hire her again and highly recommend you do too!”

About: I’m a pet lover! Dogs, cats, bunnies, ferrets—I love them all. I’ve had pets my whole life and been trusted by many friends to care for their best friends for years. I stop by before and after my 9-5 and will have lots of time to play with and care your fur baby! My weekends are super flexible if an extra visit is needed midday. My own fur babies have their quirks and eccentricities, so I’m skilled in learning what works best with your pet. A typical visit will include outside exercise, feeding/watering, indoor play, and all the love I can give!
“Sherri was great with my dog from start to finish. She genuinely loves pets and brought puzzles to play with my dog. She is attentive, knowledgeable, and gives you comprehensive updates daily. She sent me a ton of pictures and in almost all of them my dog was smiling. I recommend her 100% for any pet needs.”

“Once again, Jenna watched over our cat Archer and our home! Her Rover cards are the best!!! You know you've found the best guardian when you dont give a second thought to whether all is well! Complete peace of mind! Thank you again, Jenna!”

“Elise was wonderful with Mimi especially with my cat being super shy with strangers. She is a great communicator and provided a thorough update on Mimi’s report card. Would definitely recommend to anyone!”

“Samantha is terrific and we are very happy with how she took care of our cat Sarah. Samantha sent photos every day and let us know how Sarah was doing and she watered our plants and unboxed and watered the new arrivals as well. She was very responsive as well as respectful of our home and we definitely will have her take care of Sarah again. Thanks a million.”


“Greyson did a wonderful job watching my boy. I wasn't sure how open Ozzy would be to interacting with a new person but he really opened up to them. I loved reading the after visit notes, I would share them with the people I was with. Greyson was also really flexible when I had a family situation come up and had to move my trip earlier. I will definitely be booking them again the next time I need someone to watch Ozzy.”

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 Van Buren Charter Township 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 .

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.

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.
