Ellen does a wonderful job with my furs! I’m always a nervous wreck leaving my babies but to see how excited they are when they see Ellen puts my worries at ease! Definitely appreciative of finding someone who knows how to handle both personalities my pups have!

Lauren was fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat while we were on vacation. She was very responsive, sent multiple pictures and messages each day and the house and pets were perfect when we returned! We will definitely book with her again and I highly recommend her!

Heather is an absolute gem and after how well she did we will be using her for all of our future pet care needs. When we met her our dogs immediately loved her and so did we. She is easy to talk to and had no problem accommodating our dogs special needs. We were gone for about a week and during that time I got consistent updates and photos of our animals. Whenever I messaged her to check on them she was immediately responsive. She left our house just the way she found it and our animals were all very loved and well cared for. I know it is always scary leaving your animals in the care of someone you don't know but we trusted our gut on Heather and we are so glad we did.

Bridget was awesome. She arrived exactly when she was supposed to. I left her a note with instructions. She texted me when she arrived. She sent me pictures of my ding dong. She was even able to stay later, then asked because I could not make it home in time. I came home not only to find a happy dog but a clean house and a beautiful sketch of my dog's face on the countertop. I will definitely use her again.

About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I'm a reliable and experienced pet caregiver with 6+ years of dog handling and training experience, 13 years of cat care experience, and 5 years of caring for guinea pigs and other small animals. I am also CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs, and I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every visit. I prefer in-home pet care only (at the client's home), as I have my own pets at home, including 5 dogs and 3 cats. My services include drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and cage cleaning, medication administration, puppy care, and overnight stays. I have experience with large and small dogs, leash training, basic obedience reinforcement, and high-needs care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. I am dependable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide attentive, compassionate care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. My schedule is completely open on the weekends and Wednesdays, and I work part-time Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. But I am available after 4:30 those days. I am only comfortable caring for your animals in their home as I have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. All animals are treated as they are my own babies.

About: I have a love for animals big and small. I enjoy exploring and making new experiences with animals. I have experience with elderly and medical needs animals. I work as a nanny and have sometimes weeks off and would love to have an animal to take care of and take places with me. I have a house with 13 acres, for dogs that are not recall trained I use a 10 ft leash and always make sure leases are on before the door opens. I have a separate room for my own animals that way if rabbits or cats are meet with aggression all animals will be safe.

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old! I have owned several German Shepards and cats. I have my own puppy, he is a rescue Husky from the shelter. So, I am very familiar with puppy tendencies and home training! My family dog, is now quite old so I have also been learning to care for senior dogs and their unique needs as well! I am very active and outgoing and truly enjoy spending time with all animals. I would love to watch and care for you pets! I just recently graduated from Michigan State University and I am studying and applying to law school this fall! I am pretty flexible so feel free to reach out any time! I am not offering any dog watching/sitting out of my own home. Although, any time a pet is in my care, I will look after it as my own!

About: Hello! My name is Keirsten and I have over 6 years professional experience in the pet care industry. I have worked in doggy daycares, veterinary offices, and I’m currently a dog groomer. Pets are my one true passion in life, and I love each and every one like they are my own. My years in the pet care industry have made me knowledgeable and confident in my abilities to properly care for your fur baby, safety and comfort will always be my #1 priority. I am well prepared for anything your pet may throw at me, whether it’s an anxious 100lb German shepherd, a spicy 5lb chihuahua, a neurotic German Shorthaired Pointer (like my own baby at home!), a senior spicy kitty who takes daily injections, etc! I am also trained in CRP for both canines and felines, and trained in oral and injection medications. No pet is too big, too small, too crazy, or too old:) I am currently working as a dog groomer, so my schedule varies. Most days I am off by 5pm, but some days is 7pm. I can always offer boarding in my salon (if your pet is comfortable in the environment) if you want your pet with me 24/7:) Unfortunately, I do not offer services in my home. However, with my 5 year experience in professional pet care, I have the knowledge to recognize when your pet is scared, hungry, happy, angry, sad, fearful, playful, etc and I know how to handle each and every unique situation. For example; your pet is playful, so we play! Your pet is fearful, so we take it slow and be sure to not cross any boundaries. Your pet is tired, so we cuddle! Etc.

Lauren rocks. When my flight was delayed she was happy to work with me to ensure my pets were taken care of in case I couldn't make it home until the next day. It ended up only being a couple hours later but I would have been a panicked mess if not for Lauren's help.

Ellen took excellent care of my two dogs while she stayed in my home. She came over twice, prior to sitting to meet & spend time getting to know each orher. Her response time with questions & confirmations was immediate. I never wondered about anything. She provided daily updates with pictures of my boys. When I arrived back home, everything was perfect. I will definitely be having her again. Highly recommend!

Christine is very obviously a huge animal lover. My Poncho (95lb pitbull mix) was so happy when I came home, and in all of the many photos that Christine sent- Poncho had the biggest smile on his face. They went on so many walks, as we are staying in a hotel for several months for work. Poncho got many snuggles, which is very important to him, and Christine figured that out on Day 1. Christine is now our favorite gal.

Elizabeth is a wonderful pet sitter. She stayed at our house and took care of our cat and plants for several days. Communication was great - daily photos and messages - and everything was well cared for. We plan to ask her to return the next time we go away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Blackman Charter Township

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Blackman Charter Township on Rover is $38.85 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 746 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blackman Charter Township. 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 Blackman Charter Township 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 Blackman Charter Township 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 Blackman Charter Township 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 Blackman Charter Township. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
