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!

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!

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!”
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wixom
Arden is very patient with our pups - one is grumpy and she’s handled him well, making him more comfortable with each visit; the other can be too excitable but Arden’s been able to keep her in check, too! She communicates exceedingly well and takes detailed notes so she’s best able to care for the pups. So happy we’ve found her!

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 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.

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 Meet & Greet .
