“Brooke was perfect for my dogs :) definitely rebooking with her! Brooke was very responsive when setting up a meet and greet for her and my furry babies. We have been trying to find a reliable and responsible dog sitter and I think she is the one. She was patient with the puppies and very tentative about all the information we gave her. The dogs loved her right away. She did all her check ins on time and made sure my dogs were well taken care. Thank you Brooke!”

About: I aim to ensure that every dog in my care is taken care of to the fullest extent. Keeping your precious pet safe and loved is my duty. I know just how important dogs are in our lives, so ensuring they get the kind of treatment they get at home is essential. Loving dogs is something that comes second nature to me. Throughout my life, these pets have played a significant role. In my experience, I have watched/raised leader dogs for the blind, my dog, friends/family pets, and my girlfriend's dog often. I have 10+ years of experience working with this beautiful animal, both big and small. When taking on a new client, I'd like to schedule a meet and greet, whether online or in person; that way, we can ensure we're a good fit. That's very important to me, and also, getting able to talk will allow me to learn more about your pet and your care expectations; after all, who knows your pet more than the owner? Lastly, I love meeting new dogs, and they generally like to meet me, so I'd argue your pet, and I will get along incredibly. Being away from your best friend can be really difficult so I make it my goal to communicate as often as possible. I will make sure to give plenty of updates and pictures of all the fun your pup is having.

About: I've been taking care of pets for about 10+ years now. I've had cats my whole life and have had dogs for 4 years now. I worked as a veterinary technician for 4 years as well. I can bathe, walk, feed, give medicine to almost all pets! I moved from California to Michigan and would love to get to know more of your fur babies! I am currently walking from home and almost always need a break. Therefore, spending time with more animals is always a big relaxer for me! I love my fur babies more than anything. Their needs always come first. Therefore, I will put your babies needs first as well. I can play with them, take them out, and do almost everything possible to make sure they have a stress free time with me.

About: Hi! My name is Coryn. I am currently a 4th year medical school student in my clinical rotations here in Michigan. I have had 25+ years experience with taken care of dogs. I have cared for my family's dog for many years while growing up whether it be as big as a Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Pyrenees, or as small as a Scottish terrier. I have had a dog of my own but has unfortunately passed on to the rainbow bridge at 11 years old. I have now had 2-3 years of experience watching dogs a few years ago before I started medical school and took a hiatus. I am back to hopefully help my community with dog sitting or walking. I love dogs and am comfortable with any dog you bring my way. I can play with your dog and take them on many walks and play with them outside either at the dog park or the state park. I have a welcoming apartment home for your pet to stay if needed. I am able to watch your pet full time. There will either be me or my husband at home to take care of your pet 24/7. I am highly compassionate, sensitive to needs, and have 100% attention to the pets I take care of. I make sure your pet gets all their needs taken care of whether it be to go outside for potty time, walking, or play and if they are hungry or just need a treat.

About: I enjoy spending time getting to know each dogs personality as they are all different. I feel it is very important to get dogs out into the fresh air for some play time. I walked 3 dogs for my neighbors for 5 years, and watched their dogs at their homes while they were away on vacation. I work part with flexible hours. I can also work from home. We have a rescue dog that comes to our office that I enjoy. I like learning as much as I can about a pets personality and temperament prior to walking and watching them. Each dog is unique and requires my understanding of them.

About: I’ve spent years caring for animals and have managed horse barns, so I’m very comfortable with feeding routines, medications, cleaning, handling multiple animals, and making sure everyone is safe and well cared for. I also have a rescue dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and getting to know each animal’s individual personality can be. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits, including potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m also a runner, so I’d be happy to run with an energetic dog who enjoys getting some extra exercise! I currently work part-time Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings while attending graduate school online. This gives me flexible availability throughout the week for dog walks and drop-in visits, particularly weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I’m able to work with individual pet routines and can often accommodate visits outside of my regular schedule with advance notice. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine during every visit. I’m experienced with animals and comfortable following specific feeding, medication, exercise, and care instructions. I’ll treat your home and your pets with respect, provide regular updates, and make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve always been a doggy person. I like to dance sing and act. I’m a theater major at SVSU with a minor for creative writing. I’m enjoy outside walks and talking to dog. I had a Shitzu for 14 years named Patches who I would walked around my neighborhood but in 2025 me and my family put him down because he was getting real old and slowly decaying. So I have experience walking a dog picking up after a dog. I’m currently on summer break from university and I’m not usually busy. I have a license but not a car. I love to hangout with friends but I wouldn’t have any schedule conflicts. I would play with my dog a lot have him chase me around the house. Feed him in the morning with my dad. Me and my mom would take Patches to go get groomed and too the vet together. I would let Patches sleep in my bed. Me and my mom would give Patches fruit sometimes too eat. Me and my mom during covid took Patches outside to walk a lot.

About: I have over a decade of pet care experience, starting with looking after the animals of neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes, developing a particular knack for senior care and managing anxious animals. As a dedicated cat owner myself, I understand how crucial routine, patience, and a calm presence are for a pet's comfort. I am highly reliable, observant, and deeply committed to making sure your pets feel safe, secure, and loved while you are away! work a steady professional schedule in social work during the day, which gives me an incredibly reliable routine. I am fully available for overnight house sitting, dedicated weekend care, and evening drop-in visits or walks. Because my routine is consistent, you can trust that I will keep your pet’s feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules perfectly on track. I make it a priority to provide focused attention and plenty of companionship during my off-work hours. I understand how stressful it can be to leave an anxious or sensitive animal behind, so I strictly adhere to your specific care instructions, medication schedules, and security preferences. My goal is to maintain your home's quiet environment and provide a comforting, low-stress routine. You can expect thorough communication, regular photo updates, and a respectful, careful presence in your home.

About: In our home, we are big snugglers. Our two dogs, Benjamin and Franklin are very well trained and love being with other dogs. Our dogs are like our children and we want to treat every pet that stays with us, the same way. Our two boys love having friends to play with outside and don’t mind sharing their space. We have a three bedroom home with a large backyard. I’m a stay at home wife and my husband occasionally works from home. My availability is very flexible and accommodating. I will be here when you need me. :) *Our home has a big fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play. It also has a camera in the backyard, the side door where they go potty and in the living room to monitor safety. *We are also conveniently located near Auburn Hills, Rochester and Troy. We are just a 15 minute drive from these cities. Please note: we do not accept any pets without a "Meet and Greet" session. Meet and Greet is when you come over to my house to meet all of us and see if it is a good fit. It is also an opportunity for you to see our place and get all your questions answered.

About: Hi! I’m Katie, and I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have my own 10-month old yellow Lab, Moose, who keeps me active and has given me even more experience with training, playtime, walks, and all the fun (and chaos!) that comes with having a young dog. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for multiple dogs at once. I’ve also fostered two German Shepherds for several months until they found their forever homes, and later fostered two Pit Bull/Lab mixes through No Dogs Left Behind. I also regularly help care for my parents’ two Labs, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple dogs and making sure each one gets the attention they need. I’ve even participated in the Leader Dogs for the Blind 5K for several years to support their mission. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend a lot of time with the pets in my care. Depending on the service, I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, feeding, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I’ll always do my best to keep their normal schedule and make them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love while you’re away! I work from home full time and work on Mountain Standard Time, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes mornings especially convenient for walks, drop ins, and spending time with pets. Since I work remote, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day while still maintaining a consistent work schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday and have more flexibility in the mornings and throughout the day. I also spend a lot of my free time with my own dog, Moose, so I’m very comfortable incorporating walks, playtime, and outdoor activities into my routine. On weekends, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, working out, hanging out with Moose, watching sports, and getting outside. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs to make sure they feel comfortable & cared for! I live in a spacious, gated apartment community in a quiet and pet friendly environment. While I don’t have a private yard, there are several walking trails nearby, as well as a dog park within my neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of opportunities for exercise, fresh air, and playtime. I’m very mindful of safety when caring for pets and always keep dogs leashed and supervised while outside unless they are in a designated, secure dog park. My apartment community has safety regulations in place, and because not every building is pet friendly, there is a comfortable number of dogs throughout the community without feeling overcrowded. My own dog, Moose, lives with me, so I’m experienced with maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for dogs in an apartment setting. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine, house rules, feeding instructions, and any special care needs to help both pets and their owners feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.

Alivia has come over twice now for drop in visits and the boys are loving her! She has been timely and very responsive which is greatly appreciated. From the time she gets here she is very engaged with both dogs, playing fetch with our hyper Boston and giving lots of pets to our more chill puggle. She also takes the best pictures of them while she’s here which has been adorable to receive after the visits. We will definitely be rebooking!

Claire took excellent care of Merlin! We’re very happy with the care and attention she gave him during both visits. She took him outside for potty breaks, walked him, played with him, and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely trust Claire with Merlin again and highly recommend her! 🐾

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Waterford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Waterford is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 October 2026, there are 3,506 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Waterford. 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.

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 Waterford 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.

To find sitters in Waterford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waterford. 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
