“Sarah was amazing! She took incredible care of our cat and he warmed to her instantly. We would happily entrust Sarah again with the care of our furry loved one. Additionally, my partner ended up getting really sick which delayed the start to our trip (and cat care). Sarah was so flexible and understanding! Highest Rec!”

About: I have experience dog sitting since I was a teenager. I’m use to having a dog around and I figured this was a great opportunity for me! I have numerous families who I have dog sat for already and I would love to build my clientele base! I would absolutely love the opportunity to care for your pup! 🐶 *For boarding only, I currently accept dogs up to 25 lbs only due to my apartment size. Thank you for your understanding!💕 I am flexible Mon-Fri. I do work during weekdays however I live very close to work and I am very fortunate to get a long lunch break each day to come home and make sure your pet gets the attention he/she deserves! I have lots of availability on the weekends, so if you have any weekend getaways or need extra help, i’m available! In a clients home: I ensure I know where everything I need is located inside the home. I always make sure pets are on a leash/harness during any given time when we venture outside of the home. In my home: I live in an animal-friendly 1 bedroom apartment, and have a safe space for your pup to roam freely in. I allow pets to roam inside the home unless pet owners feel more comfortable with them inside a provided crate when I am not present. When we venture outside, I only walk them with a harness/leash as that is the safest way to ensure their protection. There are lots of green fields to walk on and plenty of walks to be had!
“Jessica took such great care of our sweet giant dog. We so appreciate the detailed communication, the thoughtful questions and accommodating the dynamic needs of our pup. She went up and beyond, thank you!”
“Olivia was amazing! She checked on our elderly cat for a week while we were away, made sure he got his meds, and even sent us daily photos, which we loved. It was such a relief knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Super reliable and so sweet—we’d definitely ask her again!”
“Kristin is simply incredible! I had a peace of mind about leaving my cats in her care from the moment we met. She knows cats, she truly loves cats, and she understands the crazy anxious cat parents. We had daily updates with pictures and videos and came home to calm, happy, well taken care of cats. I absolutely recommend Kristin and will only ask for her help if I need a cat sitter again.”
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.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and responsibly took care of them myself. I have also been a dog/cat sitter for many family friends throughout highschool and college! I love any and all animals and must stop to pet any dog whenever I see one! I am will to walk dogs morning or night on days that I work and can walk during the day on off days. I’m also available to make house visits to take of animals morning and night on workdays and all day on off days! Make sure they are being good and not getting into anything that could harm them while they’re in my house! Since I don’t have any fencing I would make sure to keep them in a leash when going outside
About: I love working with dogs, they bring happiness to my life! I have 2 dogs on my own that I walk every day. I pay very close attention to my dogs when I am walking them. I treat them as I would my own children. My house is dog safe because my own fur babies love to get into things they shouldn't, which has improved my techniques as an owner. As a dog loving house, there are treats and food available always. I am a big believer in fresh water daily for my pets. I have been around dogs since I was little, I love to care for them and know how read their body language. I started pet sitting for my family and friends. I have a fenced house where dogs can play safely. In my house dogs can be on the couch. I will spend time playing and caring for your dog or cat as well as walking with them.
“Aubrey did a wonderful job dropping in for my dog Lou. Aubrey knew we’d be gone for a long day so she made sure to spend lots of time playing with Lou to get her energy out. She gave a cute picture and a very detailed update which reassured us that our sweet girl was in great hands and that all of our instructions were being followed perfectly. We will definitely be having Aubrey back again and highly recommend her!”
“Anthony is literally my go to guy for my pet. He always comes through, always takes the best care of my dog and goes above and beyond every time. Cannot say enough good things about him. Thanks so much Anthony!”
“Stephanie is fantastic! She is always on time, leaves me pictures and notes on how Stella did. Stella enjoys their visits and I couldn't be happier and more grateful!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 5! I have a husky back at home with my parents and I used to have a toy poodle. In addition, I have two horses who are my babies! I was raised and taught on how to take care of animals and I absolutely love any type of pet. A couple years back, my husky gave birth of 6 healthy husky puppies and I was there to help take of care of them with her and to help them grow up. I helped potty train each of them and I would take all the dogs on walks. Since I grew up and raised a big dog, I know how to take care of them and I am comfortable doing so. I can also take care of small and medium dogs as I also some of those size in my youth. Back at home, I often house sit and take car of pets of other family members if they are to go on vacation so I am reliable in that sense as well. I currently work 7am-4pm on the week days but have evenings and weekends completely available! If you go on a weekend trip and need someone to take care of your pet, I am more than welcome to take care of them. If you need someone to walk the dog or to take care of them in the evening so you can go out and relax, I can also do that! I want to ensure that I provide a safe space with each pet I take care of. I make sure that there is clear communication between me and the client so that I know what their needs are and how I can be more helpful. It is important to be informative to the clients as well as making sure to keep your pet safe and I will do my absolute best to do so!
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have both experience with dogs ( all sizes) and cats as well. I am very active also, and I like to take dogs for a walk. I can play, hug, and give much love to your pet. In Florida, I used to be a volunteer at the local shelter and rescued organizations as well. I am also Bilingual English-Spanish. I work in the office and sometimes remote, finish by 5PM . When I am remote I have more flexibility -Mondays and Fridays usually. I have weekends for myself, but visit my grandchildren usually few hours on Saturday. I can walk dogs everyday in the afternoon and provide daily exercise. Just contact me and we can work it out. When I go to the clients home I will follow their directions. I will come happy to do what I love the most. In my home, I have an adult cat very friendly and lonely, but I can arrange the situation in case my service is needed to have the pet in my home. We can always study the situation and talk about it.

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 Wixom 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.
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 Wixom 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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Wixom with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.

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.
