“Melanie does an amazing job with both of my dogs. They come back happy, exercised, and ready to relax which I greatly appreciate. I can tell the dogs love their time with her because they will bark out the picture window begging her to come back for more. Melanie is super attentive and willing to accommodate any schedule changes and additional asks, with excellent communication throughout. Highly recommended, and very thankful I was able to find someone my dogs love so much!”
“Haley is AMAZING! She is great with my puppy, Winston, and is always so accommodating with my crazy schedule and last minute requests. She is my go to for watching my Winston (and he absolutely adores her!)”
“Erin is so good with Roamy, which shows in the amount of wiggles when Erin walks up to the house. She is experienced walking Roamy on the Gentle Leader and always shows her a good time.”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, and at one point we had 12 indoor dogs, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes. They were never “just pets” to us; they were family, and that’s how I’ve always believed animals should be treated. I’ve also cared for cats and have experience dog sitting, so I’m comfortable looking after pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for yours the same way I’d care for my own. I take classes two days a week and spend the rest of my time at home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention and care. I'm also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I'll follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions provided by the owner and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I truly enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the love and companionship they deserve. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I work as a pet sitter full time and have also been a veterinary assistant so I have experience with caring for pets, I am fully insured and I am also able to give medications for pets who need it, including inhalers and insulin. I have experience with both cats and dogs but have more experience with cats! I have my own cat that I care for and am an insured pet sitter full time! I love caring for pets as if they are my own and go above and beyond to make their owners feel safe! I care for pets in your home by feeding, giving water, attention (play, cuddles, walk, depending on animals needs), cleaning litter or letting pets out, administering medication, and generally looking out for their well being.
“Jacklyn was great with our dog Phoebe! She communicated with me through the day with messages and pictures. She was great about following the route and behavior reinforcement we discussed on the meet and greet. We are excited for our upcoming boarding booking with her!”
“Andrew was wonderful. My dog is very skiddish and afraid to be away from me. But Andrew did an excellent job of taking care of him and made sure he was always safe. I would recommend Andrew to anyone!!”
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.
“Emi-Lu is definitely the person you want caring for your dog when you are gone. She is thorough, detailed, kind, and compassionate. She even texted me this morning to make sure she could find my key and to ask how long our dog likes to walk. Emi-Lu is the best sitter on Rover!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them is basically second nature to me. I’m the kind of person who baby-talks every animal I see, stops to say hello to every pup on a walk, and ends up in the corner of a party hanging out with the host’s pet instead of socializing with the humans. Friends, family, and even complete strangers have told me for years that I should have gone into veterinary medicine because of how naturally I connect with animals. Instead, I work in a hospital laboratory helping people. It’s fulfilling, but there’s nothing quite like a healthy dose of puppy cuddles. This year, I lost both of my girls, and their absence has left a huge hole in my heart. My home is much quieter without them, and I have a whole lot of love with nowhere to go. That’s what brought me to Rover. I’d love nothing more than to spoil your pets with that extra love while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in safe, caring, and responsible hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including young dogs who need patience, playtime, and structure as they learn, as well as senior pets who may need a little extra attention and TLC. I’m a strong communicator and will keep you updated so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll play with them, talk to them (probably way too much), give them plenty of affection, respect their routines, and absolutely accept any and all slobbery kisses. Your pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away and I’m the girl for the job. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! I work full-time on the night shift, which gives me quite a bit of flexibility during the day. I work four 10-hour shifts each week and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, so weekends are especially easy for me to accommodate. That said, I’m more than happy to help during the week, too! Because I work nights, my sleep schedule is flexible, and I can adjust it around pet-care needs when I have advance notice. Depending on the day, I may sleep right after getting home in the morning, stay up for a while and sleep later in the afternoon, or even split my sleep into a couple of naps. Basically, as long as I know when you’ll need me, I can plan my schedule around your pets and make sure they get the attention and care they need. My goal is to make pet care fit seamlessly into your pet’s normal routine while giving you peace of mind that someone dependable is there for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive to their routines, behavior, and individual needs, and I’ll always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or have questions about their care. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment, so I’m unable to board pets at my place right now. I’m completely comfortable caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable. I’ve also stayed at friends’ and family members’ homes for days or even weeks at a time to care for their pets, so I’m comfortable with house sitting when needed. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to let your pet out for a potty break, give them some exercise and playtime, feed them if needed, and spend some quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Above all, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.

About: I have always had pets. I grew up on 10 acres and we always had 4-8 dogs at a time. We recently lost a pup and I'm excited to love on yours. We love traveling, so we understand the need for a solid network to help keep them loved and safe. Capable of giving meds/vitamins. I work full time, from home. I have flexibility in my schedule to go for walks, pause for playtime, and would be willing to take visiting pups to our local dog park, if that works for you and your furry friend. I do not have a fenced in yard, but happy to provide potty breaks on a leash. Going for a walk is always an option as I love getting steps in and burning off a little energy. My dog is allowed on our couch, but no other furniture. We have several dog beds throughout the house and happy to accommodate cage training.
“Super happy with Olivia! I am a nervous mom since my dog has only been looked after once before. Olivia was kind enough for my endless texts about the possible gremlin on the end of the leash, otherwise known as my sweet baby. Olivia was kind, respectful, on time, communicative and took great care of my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I have experience pet sitting for 20 years. I am familiar with dogs that require medication and can also administer insulin to non aggressive dogs if needed I work from home full time and can provide daily walks multiple times a day based on your dogs needs, frequent potty breaks, belly rubs, treats, and endless love to your dog. I own a home with a fenced in yard. I have three children between the ages of 8-13. I have yellow lab that’s approximately 2 years old and a 5 year old female Keeshond.
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.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wixom. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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 walker.
