About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! From my first pet cat I just knew there was nothing like the love of a pet. I have 3 children and a husband that feel the same! We have two well loved labs and are always excited to meet new furry friends! I have the ability to work from home. My office is only two miles away so I can easily be free to love your fur baby while your unavailable. My yard is unfenced however we can run a long line. We do have an invisible fence that works great with our two Labs. You’re fur baby will be well attended to and played with. We have animal loving children and two sweet Labs to keep them company.
“Becky did a fantastic job checking in on our cats! She did exactly what we needed and treated our pets very well! She is great to work with, is very personable, and communicates quickly. Will definitely book again!”
“Ana was very responsive and extremely easy to communicate with. She kept us updated at all times and took exceptionally good care of our fur babies! I highly recommend Ana and would not hesitate to use her again!”
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: My approach is simple: love and respect in exchange for tail wags and belly rubs. As a former middle school teacher, I’ve got patience and understanding down to a science—your dog’s saftey and happiness while your away is my top priority. I work from home 9am-5pm, with an hour break for lunch. Generally, I am available for pet care (walks, feeding, playing) from 7am-9am, 12-1pm, and 5pm-8pm. For overnight care, having a flexible job allows me to address issues as needed (and of course give extra tummy rubs and /or impromptu play time). I do not have a fenced in yard, so I am always cautious to make sure leash and collar are secure before opening the door. I’ve owned pets that stayed in a crate and pets that didn’t. Let me know what you prefer. I pick up after the dogs too 💩
About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I have a passion for working with all animals. I have experience with both dogs and cats as well as other pets. I believe your pet is part of your family and deserves the best care possible, I treat them like my own:) I am free every day after 3pm to walk or drop in. Weekends if needed! Monday/Wednesday I am available early morning from 7-8 AM as well! I prefer to stick to yours and your pets schedule. Routine is very important to me as well as my own animals. What works best for your pet works best for me!
About: I don’t currently have a dog of my own but I grew up with them and love them! I have two kitties at home who are very loved and spoiled. I can feed, brush, play with, and walk your pets as needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a sweet toddler boy and my husband works from home so my visit schedule can be pretty flexible to meet your needs. I can easily feed, play with, and clean up after your pets. I’ll always treat your home and your animals like they are my own.
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.
“Merritt was AWESOME with our little girls, Roxy and Jessie! Thank you very much, Merritt for being so reliable and sweet with them. You helped us get Jessie acclimated in her first month home from rescue! We will definitely call on you again in the future.”
About: I have 6 years experience working in a vet clinic along with 3 years boarding/walking and doggy day care experience. I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life I am a full time pet care professional. Providing walks and drop-in visits along with boarding. Early morning and evening visits are more than welcome. I have a fully fenced in backyard that I allow dogs to play in under supervision. They will be allowed on furniture and get tons of petting/scratches.
“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: We live in a gated community in Homestead with a fenced in yard. Growing up my family owned various businesses dealing with animals including a kennel, groomer and obedience school. I have been immersed in the dog world since I was a small child. Currently, I have two miniature dachshund who love to go to the beach or lounge around the house. Since we are a military family, I can not have more pets so I decided to start doing rover. My pups are use to being surrounded by dogs and are ready to meet some new friends. I will keep you up to date on your pets day and hope you enjoy photo updates :) I work from home Monday through Friday and am available for doggie daycare + overnights. I can accommodate for dog walking, sitting and weekend care! All surfaces within our house are dog friendly but if desired I am capable of crating dogs. I can assist you with training and can administer medication including pills and shots. My dogs are bell trained and have taught other dogs how to use it to verbalize what they want.
“Matthew was extremely punctual, polite and caring with my two canine daughters. Thank you for putting my mind at ease while I was traveling. I will definitely contact you again when needed.”

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.

- 98% 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.
