About: I'm new to professional pet sitting, but caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily life. I bring calm energy that animals warm up to quickly. I have a part time position at petco. I've enjoyed my work with clients thusfar and would prefer to take on more clients as a full time option. I might not be the best to describe this but i am a pushover and believe all the fluff balls deserve to be cuddled up.

About: Experience with dogs of various sizes. Volunteered with two dog adoption agencies and have fostered 3 dogs in the past that have all been adopted. My current dog is a happy foster fail! I work from home 2 days of the week, but can be flexible based on your need. I'm regularly active, so dog walks are always welcome! I have two crates and plenty of beds for your pet to feel comfortable. I have an outdoor patio in case your dog wants some fresh air as well as plenty of walking space around my neighborhood.

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’ve taken care of dogs and cats for year and have enjoyed every minute of it. I have had dogs growing up ranging from large dogs to my current dog being a mini English bulldog who I adore so dearly. Over the years I’ve primarily done over night home sitting for days at a time and walking a consistent group of dogs. I’m currently a college student on summer break, so I have a lot of availability and time off, especially on the weekends. I am always willing to find a time. I am able to be as active and down to a schedule that any pet needs to be. I make sure to make sure both the pet and owner are comfortable with someone trustworthy and caring.

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.

About: Hi there, I have been involved with dog care since my childhood; growing up as a volunteer with various rescues and animal shelters, to fostering, to adopting and owning my own dogs. I have dealt with many breeds and types of dogs and personalities throughout the years. Unfortunately since my work schedule changes too frequently, I cannot accept bookings more than two weeks in advance. I am great for someone who needs a last minute, short stay booking (1-4 days) at a low affordable cost. If you have a well behaved dog, low-medium energy, that needs a safe, clean, and loving home for a few days while you’re gone, I’m the Rover for you 🙂 I live in an apartment so ideally my home is best suited for small to medium size dogs that are house trained, well behaved, and low-medium energy. I can unfortunately only accept large dogs if they are low energy, behaved, and house trained I do not have a yard but I do have plenty of safe walking space around the neighborhood. During the day, potty breaks are every 4 hours. If your dog is crate trained, that is a plus for overnight sleeping to avoid any issues of being out roaming the apartment without supervision. I am otherwise home and attentive to your dog. Communication is important. I respond quickly and will send daily updates. I’m only charging $20 a night because I know how hard it is to find safe, dependable, and affordable care, especially last minute. So I want to open my home when my schedule allows to help other dog owners I don’t require a meet and greet ahead of time but have no problem if you would like to have one (in person or FaceTime) and see if my place is the right fit for your dog when you’re gone. For the safety of your dog, I do not feed anything but your provided dog food and provided treats. I do not feed human food or my own treats as I don’t want to risk any stomach issues Thank you for your time and consideration

About: I’ve taken care of all of my pets since a very young age. I love every animal I see as if they are my own! Animals bring me so much joy and I wish for them to have the same happiness. I try to pay attention to body language to know what they are telling me especially when we do not know each other yet. I’ve worked as a dog nutritionist at a place called Must Love Dogs (which I certainly do!) I always want to learn more, do more, and constantly be better for the animals in the world even if I’m only able to impact a few. I have experience with dogs who need a lot of support physically (wheelchairs, lift up harnesses, bathroom assistance) as my own German Shepherd needed all of these things later in life. I may have lost count of how many times I was peed on or had to clean the floors, but I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. I hope to honor him everyday and share my love with other fur babies as much as I can. My love for animals is endless. My goal is to be able to fill my days with all sorts of animals I can love on and bring joy to. I am available any day or time for drop in visits, playtime, feedings, and walks! I currently have a dog and a cat. I take my dog for walks and try to provide plenty of play time, snuggles, and other forms of enrichment for him every day. My kitty is still young and loves playtime, being brushed, and always wants snuggles in the morning which I am always happy to provide! My pets are my babies and every animal I see automatically becomes a baby. I had a special needs German shepherd who was in a wheelchair and needed a ton of special care and attention. I’m not afraid to do the dirty work that pets need to thrive and be happy whether that’s my own pets or my clients. I’d treat them as my own.

About: My experience comes from years (starting "professionally" at 13- 22 years ago!) of caring for animals with a variety of personalities and needs. I've fostered dogs, cats and kittens, cared for seniors, and administered daily insulin injections to a diabetic cat. As someone who's always had a multi-pet home and has long provided pet sitting, I know how to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I’ve always had pets and come from a family of animal lovers. We’ve owned dogs, cats, and horses. Ive also pet sat starting at around age 10 and some of these jobs included birds, donkeys, and fish. I’d be thrilled with even the smallest job, no matter how last minute! I have a very flexible schedule working remotely. I can likely make anything work! I am open to any day or days of the week. My pets were always allowed free rein of our house, but i will obviously respect any boundaries in your home! Any specific instructions will be followed.

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: 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’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!

Al was wonderful. He was flexible with my late booking, consistent with his drop-in visits, and attentive to my dog’s medication needs. He even took my trash can to the curb on trash day. Thank you, Al, for taking care of my doggies.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Whitmore Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Whitmore Lake is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $38 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 3,351 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Whitmore Lake. 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 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. 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 Whitmore Lake 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 Whitmore Lake. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
