“Lauren has stayed with our 3 dogs and 1 cat several times. They love her. This time we were out of the country for 2 weeks, a first for us. Lauren stayed at our house, took care of our babies and kept us informed. It is great to be able to leave for that long, enjoy our vacation and not feel too guilty about leaving them behind. We will always book with Lauren when she is available.”
“Kate is amazing! She took great care of our Fiona, sent many updates with pictures and took wonderful care of our home. We highly recommend Kate for your dog/house sitting needs!!”
“Bonnie surpassed all expectations! My pups took to her immediately at the meet and greet, and were showered with attention during the overnight housesitting. Bonnie brought treats and ruffs for my dogs and sent several pictures and dates over the 2 days. My German Shepherd is especially a nervous Nelly, but he was happy and at ease with Bonnie right away. Caring for two big dogs is not the easiest, but Bonnie did an amazing job. I was so relieved I didn’t have to leave them at daycare and that they were being so well cared for. If you can work with Bonnie, do it! I am so happy to have found a reliable and enthusiastic carer for my dogs.”
“Breanna is very kind, caring and did amazing with our pack. I would use her again! She took good care of our home and our pets are all happy. Very satisfied with her and would use her again for overnight stays in our home.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. I currently have 2 big dogs and 6 cats at my home. I’ve pet sat for friends and family and sometimes I come over just to see their fur babies. I love going on walks with dogs but also snuggling up on the couch with my babies. I currently have a 8am-4pm job but it’s with family so they are very flexible if I need to leave and come back during the day. I’m currently enrolled in college online perusing a degree in marketing as well. I’m a very gentle person and I have a lot of respect for animals space. I don’t like to rush or make them feel threatened by me. I often however, hit it off very well with pets and love to play with them! I have tons of acres at my home so my dogs like to run free or on a leash if needed.
“Melissa was great! This was our second time using her and we will definitely use her again! Definitely recommend her to come into your home and dog sit. She is wonderful with our puppy and Sassy loves her!”
“Gabby is the most kind, caring and responsible person to watch over your fur babies while you are gone. We have never had a dog sitter before because family were available, but not this time. I was very hesitant and anxious about having someone I do not know, come and stay in my house all night and take care of my precious doggies, for over twelve days ,but Gabby alleviated all of my fears with her continuous communication , photos, and answering my phone calls. My one older dog, Coco proved to be a challenge with her barking and not wanting to have a stranger in our house, but Gabby was able to work with Cocoa and slowly, but surely win her over 😀 Gabby also did so many extras that I never expected. She took our trash out. She made sure to check daily for our mail and the porch for any packages. She left the house spotless; vacuuming, mopping floors, cleaning up after the dogs; even watering my flowers on the patio , feeding my fish and filling up the bird feeder with seed. I recommend Gabby with a five star review for anyone that wants to go on a vacation , out of town for business whatever they need to do whether it's for just a few days or several weeks, and know that their fur babies are in loving and responsible hands.Thank you, Gabby you are Extraordinary!”
“Kailey did a great job pet and house sitting for us while we were on a trip. She managed two stubborn huskies and a house full of cats and kept an eye on things for us. Everything was well taken care of. She contacted us for questions and clarification as needed, communication was great.”
“Molly watched our human society rescue dog and her six newborn puppies. She did a great job and treated Lola and her pups like they were her own dogs. Molly has such a calming disposition and was so kind we knew the dogs were in the perfect hands for the day. She sent pics and updates during our time away. We would definitely use her again!!”
About: I’ve been around and have always loved all animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, and fish. Open to helping with any pets. I work full time Monday-Thursday but I’m completely open to care for your pets Friday-Sunday. I like being active and getting outside so your pets will get all the walks and activity. At home my cats and dogs are free to roam the home. The yard is not fenced so we do use a cable in the backyard or go for walks on the leash for potty breaks.
About: I have taken caree of animals of all shapes, sizes, and species throughout my life. From strangers and neighbors cats and dogs to my own animals. From years of experience professionally handling animals at doggy daycares as an attendant, a kennel tech at a dog training facility, and as a dog trainer through a company. I have experience from sweet and fiesty puppies to dogs with behavioral issue from aggression to separation anxiety. Experience giving medication to most kinds of animals. I am a stay at home mom who has flexible pet care ability in my schedule. With a love for animals I am looking to fill more of my time with animals again and help out families with their fur babies. I have a fenced in yard with bricks that cover excess space between the ground and fence. As well as the ability to crate any animal if needed. I never let animals outside unattended. They always have an eye on them.
About: From the age of 10 I've always had a furbaby I cared for. I have plenty of experience from the newest born to the grumpy senior cats. Medicine administration, litter box hygiene, long walks, and playtime are all things I can bring to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable. I know the importance of pet care and I can dedicate as much time needed to providing for your wonderful fur baby while you're away Respecting client privacy I clean any accidents on the floor, make sure all food dishes and water dishes are full and the eating area is swept and cleaned, litter box as well as the surrounding area is cleaned and refreshed as well. Playtime with weather permittance will be done outside to avoid any accidents inside.
“Peyton stayed with Lacey while we were away for a few days. She was even willing to stay a few extra hours when our flight kept getting delayed on our way back home. Lacey had good time!”
“We have had Randi several times to stay at our house with our senior dog Ellie. Randi takes better care of Ellie than we do! She is very good at giving Ellie all of her different medications and taking her out for several walks during the day, she pays attention to exactly how Ellie is feeling and adjusts her care accordingly. She has great advice on healthy snacks for Ellie and non toxic skin care. She truly cares for our dog and we are grateful to know she is in good hands while we are away! Randi is also great with communication, even if I don’t always respond, she still sends me lots of pictures and updates so I know what’s going on. Thank you Randi!!!”
“Khelsi is truly the best. I was extremely nervous leaving my little man with someone new. My previous sitter, who was not Rover-related, was not the best fit. Khelsi came to the rescue. She's extremely professional, attentive, and caring. I travel for work and am over the moon to have found her. 10/5 stars.”

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Algonac walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Algonac maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Algonac 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
