“I was a initially hesitant about a higher rate sitter, but Susan had the extra background check, had reviews from multiple clients, and took her own time for a meet and greet before we booked so we could get to know her and her passion for caring for others. She took great care of my bulldog while I took a nearby staycation. The peace of mind proved worthwhile. We have already booked her for another longer stay and are thankful Rover connected us!”
About: Hands on experience caring for animals I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of animals from large to small. I am retired and I do Uber on the side. I have very flexible hours and I’m available from dog walking, spending time with your animals to staying with them in your home to house sitting. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different, and I will take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs that they may have. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, quiet, companionship, medication or extra patience, I provide loving a attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pets is to feel completely comfortable, knowing they’re in experienced, caring and trustworthy hands.
“Elizabeth remains our favorite sitter for our elderly kitty. She is attentive and professional, and her calming, nurturing presence is exactly what our cat needs. She is great with medication and regimented schedules. We look forward to having her back again.”
“Mariia was great! She communicated well, spent a lot of time with our cats, and left my house spotless. I came home to calm, happy cats and we will be using Mariia again :)”
“Danielle was available to help us out last minute when our Sitter cancelled. She was fabulous. Very professional from the initial booking interaction to the excellent care provided for our pups. Nate and Oki loved their day with her and we could not have been happier with Dani’s Service. Thanks!!!… you helped to really make our day a fantastic one.”
About: I've loved animals since childhood and I have a collection of my own! Including the basics, 3 cats, and.... geckos, snakes, and quails of cource all our non-venmous and completely hsrmless little ones! No matter what your pet is I would love to care for them and give them the best care possible! If boarding: you pet will be housed in a separate room from my 3 cats to make sure everyone is as comfortable as possible! I will spend as much time as needed with your furry, feathered or scaly pet as needed! No matter my schedule I always block off time to give your baby as much time as they require! I have a separate sectioned off area of my apartment where you pet will get all the enrichment they need without being disturbed by any of my babies.
“Devona did a great job watching our 2 dogs. She sent us pictures throughout the day to keep us updated. She also came prior to meet the dogs in advance. We would definitely use her again.”
“Logan was absolutely fantastic with our dogs! Leaving them behind is never easy, especially because they are highly active and each have their own unique personalities, but Logan made the entire experience stress-free. He gave them plenty of attention, kept up with their energy levels, and made sure they were well cared for while we were away. We loved receiving updates and could tell our pups were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s clear that Logan genuinely cares about the animals he watches, and that peace of mind is priceless. We came home to happy dogs and a well-cared-for home. We highly recommend Logan to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring dog sitter. We would gladly have him watch our dogs again!”
“I booked JaRavia at the last minute, and she was incredibly flexible with scheduling a meet-and-greet. During the boarding, she was patient and understanding with my shy dog, Bear, who can be a bit distant. She checked in frequently, and by the end of the visit, Bear had started to trust her. I highly recommend JaRavia for her kindness and love of animals!”
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”
“Jennifer did a great job the past 9 days house sitting and caring for our Cory. Cory was in great spirits when we returned home and our house was clean & orderly. We would definitely recommend her for future needs. Thanks Jen!”
“Kaitlyn was so good with my Penny. Super professional and communicative, and she sent lots of pictures. She clearly loves what she does - it really comes through. Thanks for taking such great care of Penny and my house while I was gone.”
“Makenna was amazing! Very communicative and sent lots of sweet photos during the stay. We could tell our pup loved her. Don’t hesitate to book with Makenna!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life, including owning six dogs and two cats and fostering more than 50 pets. Fostering has given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities and care needs, including puppies, seniors and pets who are sick or need a little extra attention. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special care instructions and helping senior or special-needs pets with their daily routines. I also have experience reinforcing basic puppy and dog training, including commands, house-training routines and good manners. Most importantly, I’m patient and understand that every pet is different. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, older and needs a slower pace, or simply takes some time to warm up to new people, I’m happy to meet them where they are and care for them according to their normal routine. (PLEASE NOTE: I am not available most Friday evenings after 6pm or Saturdays during the day till 7pm.) I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority rather than trying to squeeze it in around a traditional workday. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, day care, boarding and overnight stays, and can easily accommodate different feeding, exercise and medication schedules. I’m also happy to keep pets on the routine they’re already comfortable with. I try to keep every pet’s routine as familiar and consistent as possible, whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. I follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, sleeping arrangements and any special needs, while giving each pet plenty of attention and affection at their own comfort level. I have a friendly, neutered 2-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd named Rocket, so pets staying in my home must be comfortable around another dog. I take introductions seriously and want both your pet and mine to feel safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m equally respectful of their space and routines and make sure owners receive regular photos and updates while they’re away.
“We were able to fully enjoy our two-week vacation without a single worry, all thanks to Nick. He took such great care of Winston and gave us the peace of mind we were hoping for. It meant so much to have someone we could completely trust—not just with our dog, but in our home as well. We truly got the best of both worlds with Nick. Thank you for treating Winston like your own and for being so respectful of our home. We’re incredibly grateful!”
“Colleen is amazing! Not only did she take care of our dogs for two weeks while we were out of the country, she kept our house plants watered, and the house was nice and clean when we got back! We would love to have her take care of our two pups when we travel again! Thank you so much Colleen!”
About: I have taken care of animals for all of my life. I was raised with multiple dogs of my own and have cared for my friends' cats while they were away. I am currently a grad student with ample time to care for your pet. I am very flexible and can do drop-bys or house-sitting. I have cared for animals all my life and even have a friendly Shiba of my own. I am very capable of keeping animals safe inside and cared for.

Robin was great! She arrived on time and took care of our precious pets! She kept us informed and took pictures of the pets, we could see they were enjoying themselves. This was our first time having a pet sitter to our home and Robin made us feel very comfortable and did an excellent job. We will definitely have her back again!
Danii took excellent care of our 15-year-old dog, Ghetta, in our home for 26 days. She was always quick to respond and consistently sent photos, videos, and daily progress reports. Danii handled Ghetta’s medication and special needs with remarkable attention. We came home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. She even waited for us when our flight was delayed, which we truly appreciated. Thank you so much!

FAQs for House Sitting - Belle Isle
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Belle Isle on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,176 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Belle Isle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Belle Isle 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 Belle Isle 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.
Tip: 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 Belle Isle 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Belle Isle. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
