“Gary did an amazing job house sitting with our 2 doggies for a few nights. He sent morning and evening updates with pictures, took them for a walk and let them play lots. He went the extra mile and made sure our place was left clean and taken care of as well. Thank you Gary!”
“Paige was amazing! She took such great care of our 5 month old puppy Great Dane for the weekend (no easy feat)! Everything was so clean when we got home as well, which was just the cherry on top. Would love to have her watch Cher again!”
“Wonderful as always!!! Extremely reliable, communicative, and follows any instructions to the letter!! My little guy has a bad back and I never have any fear leaving him with Jill!🥰🥰”
“Jordan is amazing. Our crew all love having her take care of them and are so relaxed when we get back. We love the great pics of them she’s able to capture and it’s always tidy when we come home which is an extraordinary feat because our pups love to roll in the dirt.”

My Australian husband and I have two dogs, a two year old mixed breed who was raised by me from a neonatal puppy and Dallas, our nine year old Cavalier from Dallas. I have been providing in home foster care through shelters until they found their forever homes and am lucky enough to have work alongside senior volunteers/behaviorists. Further I have grown up with and been surrounded by dogs, cats and other animals all my life. I promise to treat your furry child as a beloved family member! We live in a dog friendly home with an outside fully fenced play area. I would also be happy to do a meet & greet first!

About: As an experienced pet caregiver and dedicated dog rescuer, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. With years of experience in animal rescue, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. From high-energy pups to senior dogs needing extra TLC, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm currently available days, nights and weekends. I can provide drop in services at your convenience. I also offer overnight stays for your sweet dog. I have a fenced yard, love to take dogs on walks and offer a lot of enrichment activities to keep their minds and bodies busy.
“As always, Colleen is the absolute best!! I am so thankful we found her! She makes leaving our pups so much easier. Our house is always spotless when we get home and the dogs just love her!!”
About: Hello, my name is Sierra. This is my first time on rover.com, however, I have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and have been sitting dogs/cats for the last 4 years for friends, family, and others and enjoy doing so as I love animals. Currently I’m available and very flexible with my schedule, and openings. Given the chance I will treat your fur baby with the love and care I show my own. I currently work a full time job with flexible hours. Typically I’m available for short walks/checkins between 8am-4pm M-F, anytime before or after that. I also have open weekend availability! I have 2 animals at home, one of which is not friendly with other dogs so no sitting at my home. I am happy to do pet sitting at a clients home including medication, meal times, walks, and playtime.
“Gary did a fantastic job staying in our home with our elderly dog. He sent updates with pictures and videos, and left our home spotless. I highly recommend Gary!”
“Hannah was a great sitter! She took my request very last minute and I was truly grateful for her. She helped us out sent pics took good care of the doggies, was there when she was supposed to be! Would book again, very easy to communicate with.”
About: Hello, I'm a part-time substitute teacher giving extra support in reading and math in the Bloomfield Hills district. My husband and I have grown up with dogs and owned dogs of all sizes and have fostered dogs for the last 15 years. We recently had to say goodbye to our senior dogs and our home feels very quiet. Your dog will be showered with love and will enjoy watching the deer, squirrels, and rabbits from every part of our home. When weather permits we will go on neighborhood walks or run around our backyard. We live on close to 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to frolic. Your furry family member will be well cared for and very happy in our home. Rest assured your little guy or gal will love it here :) I'll be off the whole summer so my schedule will be very open and flexible. Caring for your dog will be very easy for me. I will treat my client's pet as if he/she were my own. I will follow the owner's directions on feeding and care. I have a lot of experience with my own pets as well as fostering.
About: I am a social worker in the schools who is looking for some fun for her kids and to teach both responsibility and the work that goes into owning a pet. I am a single mom. I have three loving children, ages 12, 15 and 17 who love to walk and play with dogs! Our fenced in back yard is perfect to accommodate your pet. We live down the street from neighborhood parks that are perfect for long walks. My kids and I love to dog sit for family members and enjoy having a dog in our home. We have more than enough time to give your dog the love and attention it deserves. My 17 year old son is responsible, loves pets and enjoys to help out by doing drop in visits to earn some extra money. We can’t wait to love your pet like it’s our own. I’m home all summer long and during the school year we are home @ 4. We love going on walks and staying active with your pups! I have a fenced in yard and want your dog to feel comfortable in our home. We love them to snuggle up on the couch and sleep where they like!
“Carolyn took great care of my pup! She stayed in our home so he could be the most comfortable :) she gave him frequent walks and outside time and sent us pictures showing him living his best life! I felt very safe with her looking after my buddy and will definitely use her again :)”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs! I’ve spent over 500 hours volunteering at an animal shelter, where I walked large, strong, and reactive dogs and learned how to work with dogs with a wide range of behavioral challenges. I also have personal experience managing strong, reactive pitbulls in my own family, so I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve lived with multiple shelter dogs with behavioral quirks and fostered a shelter dog with behavioral challenges for eight months, giving me experience with the consistency and understanding that some dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I am also experienced with giving medications. I’m comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience, space, or understanding, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for both friendly and more temperamental cats, along with previous pet-sitting experience. Whether your pet is energetic, nervous, reactive, independent, or just a little quirky, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own! I am a grad student, so my schedule varies from week to week. However, I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly about my availability. I am happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works for both of us! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following their owner's instructions closely. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away!
“Rachael was so good with Juno! We were so happy to have someone stay with her and give her some normalcy while we were away. Rachael sent us updates, adorable photos, and Juno looked comfy and content in each one. We’re so happy to have found Rachael and we know Juno is too! We will book with her anytime we have to go on a trip!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bloomfield is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bloomfield
She makes my dog feels comfortable enough to finish her meals and request to go out for a walk, which I consider that as a miracle. She stayed my house whole evening and night and I can tell she respect my specific rules. I really appreciate her staying with my dog.
Gracie always takes great care of our pup! She’s very prompt, follows all our instructions, and leaves our house cleaner than we left it! She’s great about checking in and sending updates and photos. Our dog really seemed to enjoy his time with her, and we appreciate the peace of mind knowing our dog and house were in good hands. I’d highly recommend!
Willoughby had a great time hanging out around home, going for walks, and playing with Lizzi while I was out of town! She sent fun pictures of him and took wonderful care of everything. All was in excellent order when I came home. Lizzi worked on his loose leash walking too, and he was doing awesome!
Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.
Audrey is the Mary Poppins of pet sitting! She is a kind, compassionate lover of all animals, and we knew our pets would be in great care while away. We had quite the tall order- last minute request, a newly adopted, rambunctious tween cat, and very shy/timid older cat…as well as guinea pig on top. She was responsive, organized & thorough, and completely spoiled the pets throughout the stay. Our house was even cleaner and tidier than before we left! She really goes above and beyond, and we look forward to booking again in the future. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Bloomfield is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $73 per night. 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 2,171 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bloomfield. 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 Bloomfield 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 Bloomfield 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 Bloomfield 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bloomfield. On Rover:
- 92% 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.
