“First time hiring a pet sitter, wasn't sure what to expect. Molly was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond what I had expected. I would recommend her to anyone as someone to take care of their pets.”
“Carissa is an amazing dog walker! She’s great with my American Staffordshire mix, Baymax. Well worth the $20! He seems happier after I get home than when I have had friends or family walk him.”
About: Based in Belleville, MI - I started pet sitting for friends in 2021 while covid precautions were still in place, and since then I've helped many friends whenever they were heading out of town for a while. I've always had a knack for getting along with cats, dogs, and other animals, even those who are shy or aggressive at first. Your pet's needs are my priority. I will review all of your provided instructions with you so that I may ask questions and make sure we're on the same page. And, if anything ever seems wrong, I'll make sure you know immediately so that you can make informed decisions regarding your pet's care. I believe every pet has a good heart - they just need the right care and attention to let that shine through! I work part time on a pretty flexible schedule, so I can always make time for your animal companions! I specialize in keeping pets comfy and cared for so that you can rest easy on vacation :) I pay close attention to and respect both behavior and body language - this keeps everyone safe, and allows me to inform you right away if something requires your attention.
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the proud dog mom of Bella Rose, my rescued miniature dachshund. Caring for Bella has taught me how important patience, consistency, and gentle attention are, especially with shy or nervous dogs. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat Bella. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, medications, comfort levels, and all the little details that help animals feel safe. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddling, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adjust to what makes them happiest. I’m also an English student and writer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet genuine, one-on-one attention. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m an online English student and writer, so my schedule is flexible and I spend most of my time at home. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I already plan my days around caring for my own dog, Bella, so making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved is a normal part of my everyday life. I follow each pet’s normal routine and all instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I keep pets supervised, double-check doors and leashes, and never leave them outside unattended. In my home, I introduce pets to Bella slowly and carefully, and I can give them separate spaces when needed. I keep my apartment calm, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of attention and rest time. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Lauren has been wonderful with Ike. She is very responsive, communicates clearly, and is always patient with him. Since Ike is a shy boy, I really appreciate the time and effort she puts into helping him feel comfortable. With each visit, Ike has become more relaxed and confident around her, which speaks volumes about her caring and gentle approach. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Marla is amazing! Very dependable dog sitter and went above and beyond for my dog every day. My dog felt super comfortable around her and came out of her shell. Highly recommend Marla for your pet sitting needs!”
About: I have been around animals my whole life! I grew up helping my parents take care of our dogs and cat, and currently have rescued two of my own. I also volunteer at the animal shelter every week :) My current availability is Monday and Tuesday 8 pm-10 pm, Wednesday 8 am-12 pm and 8 pm-10 pm, Thursday all day and Sunday after 5 pm. My Friday and Saturday schedule switches each week due to work, but I am most likely available. My schedule is pretty flexible so if these times don’t work just shoot me a message and I’m sure we could figure something out! I am very flexible and open to doing whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy while you are away! I would love to hear from you about how to best take care of your baby :)
About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs and understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. I currently care for two cats and also have a Golden Retriever who lives with my former roommate but still comes to visit on weekends, allowing me to stay actively involved in his care and routine. I have also cared for dogs on numerous occasions, including watching my cousin’s dog whenever her family goes on vacation and is unable to bring him along. Through these experiences, I have worked with multiple dog breeds and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing a safe and loving environment. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and independent, I will provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care to help them feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time, but I am able to check on pets before work, during my lunch break, after work, and throughout the weekend. This allows me to provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, playtime, and companionship. Your pet will never be left alone for extended periods and is typically left alone for no more than 1–2 hours at a time. I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent routine and will ensure your pet receives the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any special requirements. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel safe and relaxed. Communication is also important to me. Every pet parent has different preferences, so I always ask whether they would like frequent updates throughout the day or just a daily check-in. Some owners enjoy receiving lots of photos and updates, while others prefer fewer messages while they’re busy at work or enjoying their vacation. I am happy to accommodate either preference and will always keep you informed in the way that works best for you. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own and strive to ensure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire experience.
About: I’ve had pets since I can remember. I am very comfortable with all animals. I have had dogs and cats with various medical needs so I am comfortable with all types of animal care. I also love walking and am more than willing to go as far as your pet wants! I am currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open for when you would need me. I am available during the week and most weekends. Monday and Friday: available at any time Tuesday-Thursday: any time before 8am, or after 5pm I am comfortable with feeding, scooping litter, playing, taking outside, giving medication and I am able to handle any aspect of care your pet may need.
About: I’ve owned animals all my life, I worked at a doggy daycare for a few years in college and I’ve done pet sitting for family and friends for as long as I can remember. I’ve taken body language classes (since that’s how our pets communicate with us) and multiple training courses with my own dog. I’ve also owned fish, turtles, several small animals including hedgehogs, hamsters, birds and rabbits. I’m open to any pets not just cats and dogs 🖤 My schedule is mostly anytime around an 8-5 Monday-Friday work schedule since I paint cars at a dealership collision shop during the day. There is no schedule for pet care so I do my best to be open and flexible to drop in on your fur babies whenever they need it. I own a reactive dog, so I understand body language and stress and how it can stack up during the day. A good balance of physical activity, combined with mental stimulation and TLC will help to ease any anxiety your pets might have while you’re gone. Many households (even myself) have cameras inside and out to keep an eye on pets and I always encourage parents to reach out if they think their pet needs an extra drop in regardless of if it’s scheduled or not. Pet sitting isn’t just a “30 minute drop in” it’s much much more to me.
About: I've taken care of neighbor and family pets since the 1990s, mostly cats and dogs. I'm comfortable with daily care, feeding schedules walks, playtime, and helping pet feel calm, safe, and well looked after. I make my own schedule so I'm able to help watch pets almost anytime. Weekdays, weekends, days, nights, all sorts of times. Hit me up! I have a large fenced yard and one dog who gets along well with others. When I'm caring for a pet at its house I'm very respectful of the space.
“Hannah was amazing! Kept me updated with lots of pic's and communication. Our dog Freckles was excited to see her when she arrived for his walks. Would highly recommend her! We will be using her again for sure!!”
“Jackie is GREAT! She is punctual and very sweet with my pups. She took the time to learn their personalities which is helping them feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Jackie for your pet care needs.”
About: I have owned pets my entire life and cared for many animals throughout that time. I have the most experience with large and xl dogs, including those who are puppies, have more energy, and may still need some extra training. I’m well acquainted with caring for pets with different medical needs, such as mobility issues, medication needs, and sensitivities. I work from home mostly with a flexible day to day, so I can spend time with your pet whenever they need! I have the ability to work from your home if your pet prefers a companion throughout the day or can stop in for walks and potty breaks throughout the day. Leaving your pet in someone’s care is not a simple task and I want to make you feel most comfortable! My priorities will be meeting your instructions for the pet and your home to ensure you’re confident in my care. Trust from both you and your pet are key.
“We were thoroughly pleased with Jean, and our first experience with Rover. She obviously loves what she is doing, and that showed in her photos of our dog (Rusty). The text communications were appreciated, and we felt pleased that Rusty had been cared for well. Thank you!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all breeds, from Doberman Pinschers to an American Pit Bull. Now I live with a beautiful cat named Tulipán. Available to care for your babies all weekend, I'm also have a flexible schedule so I can take care of them from Monday to Friday. I live in an apartment with a very well-behaved cat who is friendly with other cats and dogs. Unfortunately, due to lack of space, I can only accommodate cats or small dogs. We have plenty of green space and a park just 5 minutes away.
“Ash is simply great. Flexible on days when we have last minute schedule changes. Consistent day-in and day-out; rain, snow, or shine. Would very highly recommend if you are looking for a walker!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Van Buren Charter Township is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Van Buren Charter Township
Kallandra was exactly what we needed on short notice! Booked her last minute while I was out of town and my wife had our child, so, not the easiest situation. She was professional from the first message, asked all the right questions about Mickey (leash behavior, other dogs, home access), and was upfront about her availability instead of overpromising. She lives close by, which made everything smoother. Mickey pulled a bit on the leash, she handled it without issue and sent updates after every single walk. My wife said he took to her immediately, which says a lot because he can be picky. Six walks over four days, all completed, all on time (minor Wednesday morning adjustment she flagged in advance). She closed out with a genuine message and didn't just disappear after the last walk. That kind of professionalism sticks. We'll definitely book her again!

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 walker.
