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 look after your pup! 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!

About: Hello! I’m Grace aka the dog whisperer 😊 Caring for dogs is truly my passion, both at home and professionally. I have two dogs of my own, one who is two years old and one who is eleven, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, energy levels, temperaments, and care styles that come with both puppies/young adults and senior dogs. Aside from that, I have a rescue dog of my own who is two years old. I currently work as a canine care specialist and kennel attendant, where I care for dogs every day of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From very small dogs to large breeds like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My responsibilities include feeding, potty breaks, safe socialization, and making sure each dog is comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and attentiveness, and I always treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, both personally and professionally. I work in the pet care field during the week, so caring for animals is something I do daily and genuinely enjoy. At this time, my availability is primarily on weekends, which are generally open unless I communicate otherwise in advance. I’m very upfront about my schedule and always make sure expectations are clear so pets receive consistent, attentive care. Because pet care is already a major part of my life, I’m comfortable building it into my routine and giving each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and secure environment. Exercise and playtime are a big part of my approach to care. I make sure each dog gets appropriate physical activity and mental stimulation based on their age, energy level, and routine. Along with plenty of play and affection, I stay consistent with the basics, regular feeding, fresh water at all times, and close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with complete respect. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain routines, and make sure the home is left just as it was found. I believe trust is earned through reliability, communication, and genuine care, and I always strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

About: Hi! My name is Jess I feel the importance of empathy, they don’t have a voice to speak for themselves, so we must step in to listen &understand these animals to better care for them And perhaps in turn, let them care for us. I myself care for two (insane) orange tabby’s, and let me tell you they are something out of this world - Haha! But I wouldn’t and COULDN’T go a day without either of them being in my life, I was able to bring them in from not the best of situations and I thank the stars everyday that I did 😂. They are now registered Emotional Support Animals and do occasionally get to work! For as long as I can remember I have adored animals, I’ve always been curious and have always sought out random facts about animals, that fueled in to me caring for and owning a couple different types of animal friends(still waiting out on a few more tho haha ). I’m the family & friends go to pet sitter, I’m largely a cat person but have no issues with dogs. I do have a full time job I work around so, patience and scheduling is important for me! I do: -drop ins, -walks: morning(before work) and afternoon(after work) -overnight sitting: can stay in client home for up to 1 week regular price (my full time job responsibilities must bc taken into consideration) Would be working around a full time work schedule - 8hr shifts. Morning check ins, after work check ins. (9-5 schedule) for stays I’d be there except for work hours to care for animals. I don’t care for others pets in my own home-only my own. I greatly value open communication & schedules. Following owner guidelines makes care easiest! With your expectations known, I can provide the care you’re looking forward to.

About: I have been around dogs all of my life and am comfortable with all kinds. Dogs are dear and close to my heart. I understand the importance of dogs getting play time outside which I something I really enjoy to do with them whether it is a walk, run, or playing fetch. Additionally, I never neglect a dog. Instead, I pay close attention to them and provide lots of comfort, care, and love. I will be entering my junior year at Michigan State in the fall and hope to take care of dogs whenever I am at home. For one, I always give dogs the comfort and love they deserve. I am always trying to meet their needs and end the day with them sleeping happily. No matter the dog, they are my number one priority.

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.

Steph is the perfect pet sitter for my Gracie. She has a border collie just like mine so she is well aware of their energy levels and high sensitivity. You can tell Gracie loves when Steph comes over to visit her. Steph gets a lot of that energy out that is getting built up while Gracie is home alone and shows a lot of love for her. I know I can trust her while I’m away.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Wixom on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 4,364 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wixom. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wixom. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
