About: I'm a mature pet/house sitter who will take great care of your pets and leave your house as clean as you left it and perhaps cleaner. I stay at your house every night leaving only for errands or a lunch/dinner out. I enjoy getting your pet outside for walks and play. I have taken care of cats, goats, chickens, horses, a mule and a donkey, I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I am retired so I am very flexible but prefer a few days notice, however if you need a pet/house sitter on a same day notice it's possible I can accommodate you. I have a minimum 2 night stay requirement, also, if you need just one evening that is a possibility as well, it just depends on where you are located. I will care for your pet in your home in the way that you instruct me to. If you have special commands I will need to know about them. If you would like to meet me before starting your job we can schedule a FaceTime chat or I can meet face to face with reasonable notice.
About: As a dedicated animal enthusiast, I bring extensive experience in caring for family pets. I am committed to ensuring your furry friends receive top-notch care, including regular feeding, exercise, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s a playful dog or a cuddly cat, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe and loving environment. Book with me for peace of mind and a happy, healthy pet! I am currently working at a senior assisted Living home full time. My availability is anytime after 3:00 PM on most days. I am off work on Thursdays and Sundays, so I am available anytime on those days. I am happy to work around my schedule and provide flexible pet care when needed. I have a lead, a dog and cat to keep your animal comany! If needed I do have crates. They also have a lot of toys to play with.
“We were very pleased with Christine (and Brad) for taking such good care of Freddie while we were gone away on vacation. Christine kept in very good contact with us and kept us apprised each day of how Freddie was doing and what he was doing and sent pics to us each time. Not only did she take excellent care of Freddie, but she also vaccumed the rug of excess cat hair, as he is a long-haired cat, and she didn't want us to come home to clumps of cat fur on the carpet. Additionally, she also watered our plants and brought in our mail daily. We would definitely recommend her (them) to other pet owners and we appreciate everything they did for Freddie and us.”


About: I have been taking care of animals of many different breeds and species for almost my whole life! I have owned rodents, reptiles, aquatic animals, avians, and canines alike! I currently own a chocolate lab who is the love of my life and have experience taking care of her while my parents are on vacation! I am a big lover of all creatures and give them the special treatment they deserve! I am currently working part time at Ulta around 11-15 hours a week. I am usually home in the afternoons or early mornings to take care of pets. I am also a student who goes to school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this semester. I take my dog out on night walks and usually feed her early in the morning so she is set for the day! I have safe locks and a wide yard for my dog to roam. She also has an E-collar to keep her safe so she knows where her boundaries are. We also get rid of trees that may cause hazards. We have flat ground too.
About: I have taken care of family dogs since I was old enough to remember. I grew up with 2 shih tzu's at home, and they were my fiercest protectors. I have taken care of both senior dogs and puppies. I love caring for dogs (every size and breed!). I know how hard it is to leave your best friend behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether we’re out for a long walk or curled up on the couch, I promise to treat your pup with the same love and devotion I would give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing they aren't just being watched—they’re being pampered, played with, and truly cared for. I’m currently working full-time (9 am-5 pm) Monday-Friday, so I would be perfect for a weekend or long weekend coverage. I am available Fridays after 4:30, and typically all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am also open to staying during the weekdays as long as your pet does not need to be taken out in the middle of the day. I can have pets in my apartment so I am available for boarding! And, I would be more than happy to do home-stays or quick drop-ins for walks and feeding!
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, quirks, and favorite ways to have fun! I raised my own dog from a puppy through 5 ½ years old, so I have firsthand experience with everything from energetic puppy days and changing routines to the day-to-day care that keeps a dog happy, comfortable, and thriving. I’ve also cared for a variety of dogs through pet sitting, including households with multiple dogs at once and pups of different sizes, ages, personalities, and needs. I’m comfortable following each dog’s established routine and detailed care instructions, including specialized feeding routines such as raw feeding. I’m naturally very affectionate, playful, and hands-on with dogs, so you can expect plenty of playtime, attention, and cuddles while you’re away. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel safe, happy, and comfortable in their own home while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is for them to have such a good time that it feels a little like they got their own sleepover with a new friend! My schedule varies week to week and I am flexible depending on the week and proximity to my day job. Reach out with your needs and let’s chat! I treat every pup I care for like they are my very own! I recognize that trusting me with your animal is no small thing and take your trust very seriously. I know animals all have their unique quirks and personalities and find getting to know them one of the best parts of this job!
About: I have over two years of experience as a veterinary assistant in an emergency setting. I recognize early symptoms of common diseases and illnesses to better protect your pet while under my supervision. I also have two years of professional pet boarding experience where I became familiar with animal body language and overall care of pets. I am currently working a schedule where I am out of work around 2:30/3:00pm so I have lots of availability in the early afternoons to help out! I typically am relatively free on the weekends as well 🐶 I believe in treating the pets as I would like my own to be treated- with lots of love! I shamelessly baby talk animals, give lots of pets (if appreciated), and treats!

About: Hello, I’m Rick, an experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in in-home house sitting because pets are always happiest and least stressed when they get to stick to their normal routines in familiar surroundings. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend, going on an extended vacation, or need reliable care over the holidays, I offer complete piece of mind while you’re away. I have cared for puppies all the way up to seniors. I require a smoke free home for my own health and breathing comfort. I am best suited to care for small to medium dogs, or specific breeds I know well. I am available 7 days per week, in addition to holidays. I walk pets in the morning and afternoon. Bonus if you live in Livonia because I will also stop in on lunch. Sometimes my random vacation days coincide with pet sitting as well. Currently, I do not have any pets, but when I did, I make all the time in the world for them. I have always cared for others’ little family members in their homes. The animals are more comfortable that way, and not anxious. There are a few that I care for so often, they gave me my own key to make it more convenient. If that doesn’t show an example of trust….

“Haley was awesome. She took care of our two somewhat skittish cats for over a week. She was punctual, responsive informative and friendly. She sent pics of the cats every day and had no trouble managing the litter robot and unique food routines. I hope to have Haley cats it for my girls again and would highly recommend her!”

About: As a compassionate pet and home sitter with five years of experience, I offer personalized care for every pet. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, ensuring they receive the right balance of attention, play, and rest. I follow specific dietary and training instructions to keep routines consistent. My goal is to provide a stress-free, loving environment for your pets while you're away, ensuring both pets and owners feel secure and at ease! I’m a nurse who works three 12-hour shifts per week, which means I have several full days off dedicated to pet care. On my days off, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight stays. On workdays, I can still provide morning, evening, and overnight care for pets comfortable with a longer daytime rest period. My schedule is set in advance, so I can plan visits consistently and communicate clearly. I also occasionally tag-team with a trusted friend who helps ensure pets always get reliable care and attention. In your home, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets by maintaining a clean, pet-friendly environment. I follow your guidelines closely, ensuring routines are kept consistent. I monitor their behavior and health daily, providing regular updates for your peace of mind. Your pets will feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you're away.

“I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.”

About: With over six years of pet care experience, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, compassion, and specialized skills to this hobby of mine. I work full-time at the University of Michigan and love pets!

My approach ensures that pets of all ages receive the tailored care and unwavering attention they deserve, making their time away from you both enjoyable and stress-free. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine thanks to my flexible schedule at work. This allows me to offer consistent and timely care tailored to the unique needs of each pet and their owners. Communication is always open, and I can readily adjust my routine to accommodate any specific requirements or sudden changes.

About: My family had a dog (Buddy) for 9 years. Through caring for him, I have learned to love caring for animals. I have also been a cat and dog sitter/walker for a number of my neighbors over the past 6 years. I am great with both high and low energy pets! I have a full time job, however I do have a lot of flexibility. I am happy to adjust my schedule to get to spend time with your pets! I sadly don’t currently have a pet. In the past, I enjoyed playing with my dog, taking him for walks, and spending as much time with him as possible. He had a lot of energy, especially for an older dog. I was always gentle and patient with him. I would bring my patience to any pet I watch. I truly just love animals and would be a great sitter for your pet.
“This was our first Rover experience and it was wonderful!! Jamiee and Matthew were timely with the visits, communicated quickly, as well as thorough with details on how the visits went. We definitely use them again in the future!! Thank you!!”


About: I used to have a golden retriever for about 8 years. I have taken care (fed, walked, let out for bathroom, played with, etc.) of family and friends’ dogs as well. I am a substitute teacher currently looking to care for pets starting during the school year. Monday-Friday after 4 works best for me. I am very flexible on Saturday’s and Sunday’s! I can easily feed, walk, play, and take care of pets’ needs! I can also change litter boxes. I can handle instructions and any accommodations pets may have.
“We loved having Karla check in on our pup while I was having a medical procedure out of state. I had an adverse reaction and had to stay an extra night and Karla saved our butts by being able to do an extra day! Very punctual and highly recommend using her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Whitmore Lake
We’ve had a great experience! Al helps us out with occasional lunchtime visits and is always reliable, responsive, and great with our dog. It’s so nice knowing our dog gets a break, some attention, and a little exercise when we can’t be there. We really appreciate him and would definitely recommend him!

If you have a large breed and need a sitter who actually understands how to handle big dogs, Al is your guy! He watched our girl Winnie and was absolutely fantastic. He is calm, confident, and incredibly reliable. Winnie took to him right away, and we couldn't be happier with the care he provided.

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 Whitmore Lake 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 .
