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: I have had pets of all types for my whole life. Currently, I have 6 cats, and my beloved French bulldog passed away earlier this year. I love dogs and truly think they are magnificent and pure beings, who deserve our love, time and patience. I am more than happy to come walk, play, snuggle, or feed your four legged friends and look forward to meeting you! I am currently only working part time, so I have quite a bit of free time during my week to come visit with your pets. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, and keep their routine as close to the usual as possible. I am happy to follow any directions or special requests!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals but I’m a must love dogs kind of gal! We find warm places to walk and I will always respect your dog and your home. I am retired from the medical field and I stay active by walking and visiting dogs. I'm used to an early schedule and I love getting out as soon as the sun comes up with availability Mon-Fri. It’s a great way to keep my life enjoyable. I have a little fire hydrant that carries baggies for pet waste and I carry a spray and wipes. There is a pet waste box available if we walk in my neighborhood as well as Green Oaks Village Mall. The shops always welcome dogs and they get lots of attention.
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: I have taken care of my family’s and friends dogs ever since I was a kid, with mainly walking, watching, and taking for potty breaks when necessary I’m currently a full time student with more classes being online so I have pretty flexible schedule when it comes to working around what you need I can easily crate the dogs, walk them, leash them when outside, and check sounding areas and fences for holes and any other potential problems
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: Growing up i’ve always had / fostered dogs and been passionate for animals. Additionally, I have experience working at a pet store. I would love to take my love for dogs and cats and turn it into something I can help others with. I am currently attending college as a commuter but have a pretty open schedule. I am open to nightly stays or just visits and playtime with your pup or cat! I will always keep watch and make sure the dogs are satisfied. If needed I can bathe and walk them, i’ll do whatever it takes so you know they’re in good hands.
“Maya has been extremely helpful, going above and beyond in the care of my two dogs. She was also willing to accommodate my last minute booking, which I greatly appreciate. So glad I found her!”

“Elise was amazing with our dogs when we left for our wedding. She was on top of communication and made sure she left them happy and well taken care of. Would recommend for future visits!”

About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I have a passion for working with all animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats as well as other pets. I believe your pet is part of your family and deserves the best care possible, I treat them like my own:) I am free every day after 3pm to walk or drop in. Weekends if needed! Monday/Wednesday I am available early morning from 7-8 AM as well! I prefer to stick to yours and your pets schedule. Routine is very important to me as well as my own animals. What works best for your pet works best for me!
About: I have taken care of all different kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. I volunteered at an animal shelter for one year in Denver and supported the shelter with socializing recently rescued stray cats. I helped manage the health needs of both my senior dog and cat when they got older. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their furry friends! I recently moved back to Michigan, and I’m taking some time off from my typical job as a social worker. During this time, I am at home full-time and available during the weekdays and on weekends to help care for your pets. I will be sure to keep them safe and to follow the owner’s instructions as carefully as possible. I will be attentive to the pet’s needs and will be sure to leave the space clean. I am also not afraid to ask for help, so I will reach out to the owner if I’m unsure of anything!

About: I grew up with three dogs and have taken care of them from the puppy stage to old age. I am well-versed with elderly animals and not alarmed by the messes that may come with them. Pet sitting was often a summertime job for me in high school, and my love of animals has continued into adulthood. I have looked after cats, dogs and even frogs. The one thing every pet needs is a vigilant eye to make sure they are healthy and living their best life. If you hire me, you will know your pets are in safe hands. I currently am taking classes at WCC and work gigs in photography and other art fields. I have a fairly open schedule and am often able to adjust my schedule to your pets needs. I am not bothered by late nights or early mornings. I live in an apartment, but there is a small dog park in the middle along with several parks nearby. I love taking frequent walks and will make sure your dog gets plenty of time to play and work off their energy. I love to listen to what the animal is telling me. When they have energy and want to play it is time to bring out the toys, and when it is time for a nap I provide a quiet safe space.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small family farm, where pets were always part of the family. My parents frequently adopted and fostered both cats and dogs, so I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of personalities and breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to Basset Hounds and high-energy Huskies. Although I can’t currently have pets of my own, caring for other people’s animals has become my favorite way to stay connected to what I love most. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m available in the morning and evenings, and am able to leave work during breaks to do a quick check in on pets! Weekends are completely open. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to work with families to make sure their pets get the attention and care they need! Although I grew up with dogs on the couch and in bed I will always respect the owner’s house rules. Multiple walks a day, respecting scheduled feeding times, and most of all giving all of my attention to your furry friends!

“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: 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.
“We went out of town for a few days and Jamiee and Matt watched our pup Jersey. She’s an older girl and we were nervous leaving her, but Jamiee and Matt were so kind! We knew she was in great hands. We will definitely use them in the future . Thank you Jamiee and Matt for taking care our girl 🐶”

About: I am a stay-at-home mom who is an avid animal lover. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I understand the dedication and commitment it takes to look after your pets. I will adopt your pet for the time it is with me and treat him/her as if they were my own. I am the the go to dog sitter amongst my family and friends. They refer to my house as the “Doggy Spa” when they drop them off. I love to spoil them and give endless affection to your sweet dogs. I also understand each dog has their own personality and style. I adapt to exactly what your pet wants and needs. I look forward to meeting your furry family member :)
About: Growing up we always had pets in my home. We’ve always had 1-3 cats and had a dog once (the heartbreak of her loss kept us from getting another). I’ve had the responsibility of walking my dog 3 times a day, feeding the dog and the cats twice a day, and spending extended periods of time with them. I recently moved to A2 from Chicago and am working full-time as an occupational therapist in a hospital, looking for a part-time gig. I would love to look after others’ pets during my free time from my studies. I am a very calm and detail-oriented individual. I live with my partner of 4 years and my senior cat I’ve had for 19 years. I love being with both cats and dogs and am looking forward to tending to their needs and providing a very fun, welcoming, and loving experience! I work full-time during the week but am available for early morning visits before work, evening visits after work, and most weekends. If you have a specific schedule in mind, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to see if we can find a time that works! I treat every pet like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I’m experienced caring for cats and dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule, administer medications if needed, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
