About: I have experience with puppies and senior puppies. I’m very patient with puppies with potty training, play time, and keeping an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. I have experience giving medicine to senior babies and changing their diapers. I don’t mind letting them out to go potty frequently. I have a 10 year old beagle whom I’ve had since he was a baby, so I have lots of experience with hyper dogs and attending to medical needs. I will take your pup on walks and will clean up after them. I would love to treat your baby as if they were my own!! I’m currently working full time but I would love to walk your dog, feed, let them out, or even watch overnight during weekdays! Saturday and Sundays are very flexible!! My backyard is not fenced in but I don’t mind walking them on a leash, or I do have a lead outside so they can run around and be safe. I have lots of dog toys for your baby to play with! I have an older beagle who is really good with all animals. He does love to sleep but he also loves to play and share his toys! He is crate trained so if he needs to be put up for a short time I can do that too. Animals are allowed on my furniture so they will have a comfy spot to sleep! My cats are very nice with dogs, but are super shy so they will probably hide in my room if need be😂 I don’t have any kids.
About: I am a lifetime lover and owner of animals and I love to care for the pets in my community. Looking forward to meeting the furbabies in my area! Currently I am available to do homestays and drop in to visit to care for cats and dogs and am open to learning how to care for other animals. My cat is spoiled at home with multiple scratching posts and toys. We play ball and string often. He is well fed, has a nice water fountain and we genuinely love having him in our home. I just really enjoy hanging out with pets.
“Hanna is a wonderful pet sitter! She sent us pictures and updates every day and loved on our two dogs and cat as if they were own. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Amelia watched 2 dogs for us while we were in town for a family members graduation. Both dogs warmed up and she walked, fed, and played with both. Would hire her again if she lived closer to home!”

“Hailey was absolutely a godsend for our South Haven family vacation! We brought our two pups but wanted someone to look after them while we go to family dinner. Hailey immediately put them at ease and by the we left town, she feels like family! I can’t recommend her highly enough. Her natural caring and tenderness for our pups was such a treat. Her communication skills were wonderful! We hope to hire her for any return trips to this part of Michigan!”

“Thomye took great care of our IzBiz while we were away. Being a senior pup, it's hard to uproot them just for a night away. Thomye was absolutely perfect with her. She took time to play and even hand fed her to ensure she ate her food. Thomye took all the extra time and care and we are forever grateful that we found her. She will definitely be our go-to when we need someone for our old lady.”

About: My initial professional experience with animals was working at an animal hospital where I took care of dogs and cats. This work formed my adult fondness for pet care. As a teenager I had several cats and dogs in my household, and I was responsible for taking care of all of them. More recently, I have engaged in dog sitting and have been a pet-parent for the past 15 years. I am very flexible as far as my weekly routine is concerned, so I can accommodate just about any pet sitting request on very short notice. I am available for pet-sitting in your home so that your dog and/or cat (I also take care of fish) remains as comfortable as possible in the environment they are most familiar with.
“Emma was wonderful while dropping in on my three Siberian Huskies (who were no challenge for her). She checked in on them twice during the day (as requested) without incident. My dogs instantly warmed up to her, and I could tell that she truly cares about the animals she watches. She made sure that my pack went to the bathroom and then spent time just keeping them company. I guarantee that I will be using Emma's services again in the future!”


“Incredibly friendly and asked all the right questions. Took expert care of our pets and sent really cute photos that were above and beyond the usual "See? Your pet's not dead" pics. Will continue to use him as long as he'll let us!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Watervliet
Finding Lillie has been such a gift to us and to our two cats. Being first-time Rover users we were so nervous! Lillie’s quick response time, patient and clear communication, and willingness to help us learn was reassuring. During our time away, Lillie helped us identify and solve unanticipated problems with the cat feeder and other equipment. She was quick thinking, flexible, and supportive. We are so grateful for ALL that she did to make our time away with family more relaxing. We definitely recommend her and hope that the next time we need a sitter Lillie is available. 😎

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 Watervliet 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.

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.
