“Arden did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She is clearly an animal lover and went above and beyond what was necessary, taking the time to get to know our cats, make them feel comfortable with her, and even spent time playing with them. She is an excellent communicator and was very patient when I caused some issues with her access to our house. She was even nice enough to bring some packages in for us. Arden will be our first choice for a pet sitter going forward!”
“So blessed to have found Courtney to watch over our dogs. She is so pleasant, easy to work with and just overall a nice person. She always shows up on time and gives a thorough update with each visit. Courtney and Roman love our dogs like their own and our dogs love them too! Courtney is generous with her time to do extra for the family whether getting the mail and packages outside or give extra lovings to our dogs. Worry free away from home! We couldn’t be more satisfied with our experience! She’s the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! We’ll be using her services again! 5 stars! Thank you for everything Courtney and Roman! ❤️??”
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.
“We’ve relied on Haley three times to care for our dogs and each time she’s done a great job- very communicative, thoughtful and cares for our dogs well. She’s been great for a week long trip as well even a one time drop in when we took a long day trip. Highly recommend Haley”

I’ve had a Poodle with seizures a Rhodesian Ridge back that ate everything in sight .My recent cat had a mega colon issue when I adopted her it finally got to be too much for her. Luna’s care was very specific including all the medications and diet . My friends and family have me take care of their pets knowing they couldn’t be in more loving hands . My home is pet friendly i have no pets at this time I love animals and they seem to respond very lovingly to me . I’m retired from owning my own business so I’m not working and looking to supplement some extra income so my schedule is flexible and so are my days and evenings . When caring for your pet in my home or your home.I will be feeding and watering your pet giving them exercise and lots of love with all the care you expect and your pet deserves.
“Lyle did a great job of dropping in to feed our cat while we were away. He took the job at very short notice after we were let down by a neighborhood teenager. Lyle sent detailed updates, photos and even a short video of our little fur ball. I felt very comfortable with him at our initial meet and greet, and I will absolutely use his services again in the future. I can confidently recommend him.”
“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: 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.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and responsibly took care of them myself. I have also been a dog/cat sitter for many family friends throughout highschool and college! I love any and all animals and must stop to pet any dog whenever I see one! I am will to walk dogs morning or night on days that I work and can walk during the day on off days. I’m also available to make house visits to take of animals morning and night on workdays and all day on off days! Make sure they are being good and not getting into anything that could harm them while they’re in my house! Since I don’t have any fencing I would make sure to keep them in a leash when going outside
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.
About: I’ve always had pets around growing up. I often take care of the pets for my neighbors, family and friends when needed! 🐶🐱I’ve recently rescued a kitten too🌿 I recently have quit my full time job and enjoying my free time😌I am able to be flexible with my schedule to fit yours and play and have fun with your lovely pets✨ I will ensure confidentiality with your information. I will follow your instructions to take care of your pets at your home🏠 I will take time to get to know your pets to create trust 🙋🏻♀️
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 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 care for your pup! 🐶 *For boarding only, I currently accept small dogs only due to my apartment size. Thank you for your understanding!💕 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!
“Anthony is literally my go to guy for my pet. He always comes through, always takes the best care of my dog and goes above and beyond every time. Cannot say enough good things about him. Thanks so much Anthony!”
About: Growing up i’ve always had / fostered dogs and been passionate for animals. Additionally, I have experience working at a pet store. I would love to take my love for dogs and cats and turn it into something I can help others with. I am currently attending college as a commuter but have a pretty open schedule. I am open to nightly stays or just visits and playtime with your pup or cat! I will always keep watch and make sure the dogs are satisfied. If needed I can bathe and walk them, i’ll do whatever it takes so you know they’re in good hands.
About: A great dog walker is someone who not only loves dogs but understands their needs, temperament, and energy levels. They’re patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping dogs safe and comfortable during their walks. This is where I come in! As a dog owner of 10 years I have a keen awareness of dog behavior and can help handle different situations, whether it’s dealing with a nervous pup or a playful one. I will keep owners updated on their dog’s well-being. I am passionate, trustworthy, and dedicated to ensuring each walk is a fun and enriching experience for the dogs in my care I currently work from home full - time. However, I have a flexible schedule to where I can walk a dog in the mornings, during lunch, and in the evenings. I am available on weekends for any time that is needed. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run. Dogs are welcome in all parts of my home - including laying on the couch and making themselves comfortable.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wixom
Our boy Ginger has never been easy with strangers and was definitely a grumpy boy when he first met Arden. However, she soon won him over with her calm demeanor and deep understanding of cat behavior. We felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. Her communication was top-notch, keeping us updated with daily messages, pictures, and videos while we were away. We highly recommend Arden.
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🤍
We could not have been happier with Kaitlyn. She was dependable and incredibly caring with our cats. She gave us wonderful updates and photos which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away We returned home to happy cats. We highly recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible and loving pet sitter.
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! She was always punctual, communicated consistently, and took excellent care of Finny. She kept his litter box and feeding area clean, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat and would gladly book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wixom is $22 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 4,389 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wixom. On Rover:
- 89% 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.
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.
sitters 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 sitter.
