About: I raised my dog from puppy - senior (15yo). Including medications in the later years. I’ll love your dog like you do while you’re away! Currently working part-time and in pursuit of my certification in Medical Laboratory Science after completion of my Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics at MSU Pets will be looked after like I’d look after a child. All instructions left will be adhered to the highest degree to best suit you and your pets needs
About: I have taken care of lots of pets growing up. My parents dog is in her senior years so getting a lot of practice with that as well. I love animals but my apartment doesn’t allow me to have a pet, I miss having one around. I work a hybrid position so my schedule can be more flexible on some days! I am also open most nights after the work day and on weekends! I live in an apartment so my home is not the best for a pet at the moment, but I am very respectful in someone else’s space and prefer a clean environment so I will always pick up after myself & your pet.
“Autum always takes such good care of Spike and our house when she drops in! Spike is always happy when we get back from vacations! Autumn definitely cares a lot about dogs and it shows in the care she gives!”
About: I have had many different dogs since I was young, mostly larger dogs but a fair share of smaller dogs as well! I have a 15 yer old chihuahua, an 18 year old cat, and we rescued an 8 month old mixed breed dog! I can work with larger stronger dogs and smaller feisty dogs, I can work with high energy, low energy and senior as well! I work full time but would love to for a walk or a visit to your fur babies after my shift or later in the evening and on the weekends! I have a fenced in yard with two dogs and an indoor cat, both dogs are kennel trained and w have an extra kennel for a visitor, if in your home I will follow whatever instructions you leave.
“Our boy LOVES Brooke! She is very attentive and makes sure he does his business every time she comes to let him out. I feel very comfortable with her in my home- always locks the doors cleans up after herself. Broke leaves detailed evaluations with photos of our pup. 100/10!!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. Would always watch ours while my mom was on vacation. Love dogs more than anything and would love to meet yours! It doesn’t get affected to much I get a lunch break at work so I can always go home and let dogs out feed them etc. I also only work Monday - Thursday I feed my dogs and cats both. I take my dogs for walks almost everyday. They also both get fed at the same time everyday. I have to give my dog cbd treats sometimes bc she has anxiety and my cats just get treats a lot.
About: I love working with all animals from dogs and cats to lizards and parakeets! I have a very flexible schedule for the most part and would work on your time. My past experience was boarding with a Labrador, so big dogs are great for me. I also have done a couple drop ins for a chihuahua and loved him. I am great with all sizes of dogs (and cats). I have a golden doodle of my own and he is 110 pounds so walking and taking care of bigger dogs is no problem! I am going into a veterinary career and would love to be more hands on with all different types of animals. The more the merrier! I would love to watch or walk multiple animals at once! I have an open schedule to care for your furry friends. I would love to take your dogs on an early morning or afternoon walk. I am available in the evenings as well for dinner time or after dinner walks! I love caring for dogs and making sure they feel right at home! I offer a friendly and safe environment where they can relax, play, and get lots of love and attention while you’re away
“Laura has been absolutely fantastic with our dogs! We’ve been using her over the last few months and she always provides detailed feedback and we feel very assured that she gives them lots of attention and love! We feel very fortunate to have her!”
About: I’ve cared for many dogs in their homes and mine. Pets feel safest at home, and I bring calm, loving care they can trust. ❤️ I will work around your schedule - just let me know what you need and we will figure out the details. I am completely flexible. I stay in your home and care for your pets their way - walks, play, special meals - whatever they need to feel safe and happy.
“Ashley is a great pet sitter! She’s always there when I have last minute things come up and reply’s back very quickly! She plays with my pup and sends pictures of him every time which I love! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using her to stop in and check in or walk your pups!!”
About: I grew up helping train my grandparents’ corgi, and I still help my sister with her dog when she’s at work — letting him out, feeding him, and taking him for walks. So I’m very comfortable around dogs and can care for them when needed. That said, I naturally connect with cats and prefer working with them, so my services are focused on calm, low‑stress cat care. I work full‑time from home, which gives me a very steady routine and plenty of flexibility for pet care. I can easily step out for feedings, litter scooping, or home check‑ins throughout the day. I build visits around your pet’s normal schedule so they stay comfortable and relaxed. Evenings and weekends are usually open, so I’m able to give consistent attention and keep your pet’s routine running smoothly. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress‑free as possible. I handle feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, and any medications exactly the way you outline. I spend quiet time with your cat so they feel comfortable, whether that means playtime, brushing, or simply sitting nearby while they warm up on their own terms. I can also collect mail or some small house stuff as needed!
About: I’m a dog lover who is mature and trustworthy. I have owned dogs for most of my life and also enjoy being around them. I volunteer walking dogs at the local animal shelter and have various certifications through my training with them. I currently devote most of my time to walking dogs, watching dogs, and volunteering with dogs. I will travel up to 10 miles away from my home, or more upon discussion. I will come to your home and be there with your dog as often as necessary. I can spend time in your home with your pet, feed them, walk them and stay overnight.
About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.
About: I have always loved all animals! I am definitely a nurturer at heart. I have loads of experience watching pets for friends and family. I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet! I am flexible because I work from home so I am able to navigate around schedules easily. I take care of my own animals daily and have my husband as back up. I give all animals proper care and attention from feeding to cuddles. I provide a safe and trusting environment within and outside my own home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
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! 🐾
I would highly recommend Alicia for your pet sitting needs she was amazing with our fur baby! She followed all our instructions and she provided regular updates with pictures that gave us a sense of comfort. She even went above and beyond making sure an important package I received while away was securely placed in the house. I would definitely hire Alicia again if I'm ever in need of services for my pet!
Erin does a great job! She's responsive, reliable, and genuinely cares about my pets. I always feel comfortable knowing they're in good hands with her. I also appreciate that she has veterinary experience, which gives me extra confidence in the care she provides. I highly recommend her!
Kira did an amazing job watching my dog, Callie! This was my first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience really easy and stress-free. She was great with communication and clearly cared a lot about Callie’s comfort and well-being. Callie can be a little shy at first, but Kira was patient and kind, and Callie warmed up to her quickly. It was clear that she was in good hands the entire time. I really appreciated the updates and the care she put into making sure everything went smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Kira to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I would definitely book with her again!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
