About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved being around them. From small lap dogs to large breeds, I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and family have often trusted me with their pets because I treat every dog with the same care, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Caring for pets is already built into the way I live. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention are second nature to me. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make sure every pet gets the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve while their owner is away My goal is to make your pet feel like their routine hasn’t changed, even while you’re away. I follow the instructions you provide, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can relax and be themselves. At my home, I also have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I know how much we all miss our dogs when we’re away, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Thank you once again Taylor for caring for Finn. We know he is safe with you and that makes our day a little easier. Thank you for filling up his water bowl and restarting Bluey! 😂😂😂😂. Taylor is always preemptively checking in and she has been flexible with our complicated schedule. She cares for Finn as if he were her own puppy and she is extremely good at what she does.”

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've volunteered at shelters since I was a teen and became a natural at fostering as soon as I got my first apartment. As I grew aocially and careerwise, I was drawn to provide companionship to the elderly and naturally, the feeding, comfort, care and cleanliness of their pets has become part of my routine as well. I do this full-time! In 2023, i found myself an empty nester after having provided a quiet, loving, foster home for strays, runaways, a very mischievous boy beagle. a Boston Terrorizer, a very scared chiweenie, two heavy pregnant pitbull mamas, numerous fat cats and a juicy little guinea pig name Cheezit! In the New Year, I've relocated to the boonies and I am ready for some fun in the sun, hiking and cool days at the lake with a new buddy but for now, I have no pets of my own. This spring, I've found myself supporting a very sweet, very kind senior with a broken arm who has 8 indoors kitties, 2 horses and a border, therefore I have open availability for last minute bookings of any duration. From the moment we meet, you'll see that I work tirelessly to maintain solid relationships in my private life and in my business, supporting the needs of families by respecting their home, their needs and quirks, their privacy by providing attention to security, attention to wellness and attention to detail. I aim to help seamlessly transition your pet into my care with amiliar routine, schedules and TLC.

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!

“Charles went above and beyond to make sure that our fur babies were well loved and taken care of, spending extra time with them and coming up with creative ways to keep them comfortable while we were away. My dog has anxiety and he was so good with her, I knew I didn't have to worry because both my dog and cat were in amazing hands! He made sure to keep up with cleaning any messes along the way, and overall was very attentive. We will absolutely be using Charles as our pet sitter in the future!”

About: I love and care for all types of pets. I began dog sitting and walking for neighbors, friends, and family when I was 14, but I learned how to care for pets at home from a very young age. I grew up around dogs and cats, and my family has always had at least two pets at a time. I recently graduated with my master’s degree and started working in my field. My job is hybrid, with 50% of my time in the office and 50% working from home, so my schedule is currently very flexible. I also love hiking and exploring new trails! I’m excited to have my own puppy one day, but in the meantime, I would be more than happy to care for your fur baby so you can enjoy your vacation or work trips worry-free. I understand that every pet has different needs, and every home has different rules. I will make sure to carefully follow all safety instructions and house rules while caring for your furry baby/babies. My schedule is very flexible because I work a hybrid job, spending part of my week working from home. This allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend care, and I always make time to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Safety is my biggest priority. I have been watching dogs for a few years now, and one thing I notice is every dog owner has their own definition of what safety looks like for their pet. I always try my best to keep the routine that the dog owners have already established for their pet, so that the pet does not feel unsafe or stressed.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve had hands-on experience at every stage of a pet’s life. I also worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—managing group play, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable and compassionate care. I currently am in school doing my full-time clinical rotations for occupational therapy. I will have weekends, afternoons, and early mornings available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and a 1.5 year old doodle who loves to play! I also have 2 young kittens not even a year old yet who get along with my dog very well. I love all pets and will be so happy to spend time with each and every one of your pets!!

“I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I absolutely love spending time with pets—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them some extra love and attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their pets, and I always treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands, and I’d love to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away! 🐾 I’m available after 5:00 during the week if walking is needed or a late night feeding I’m available most weekends days and nights Some Mondays I’m available earlier than 5:00 I would be comfortable caring for your pet in my home however I don’t have a fenced yard I would have to walk them if a dog to use the bathroom.

About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, and even hedgehogs! I love and treat each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I work as a registered nurse 3 days a week - this allows me more time to check in on your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live off of a private road on 1.6 acres. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and lots of sniffing for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. I have also have two large dogs who love to play. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent regularly to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! *please let me know if your fur baby has any special limitations at our meet and greet so I can do my best to accommodate them.* I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.

We had such a great experience with Kelsey watching our dogs while we were away for our wedding. She was so trustworthy, caring, and dependable, which gave us so much peace of mind during such a busy and important weekend. She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands, and we would absolutely trust her to watch them again. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again🤍

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Wixom

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wixom is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 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 4,279 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wixom. 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 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 .

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 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:

  • 90% 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.
