“Brooke was wonderful with our dog, Sage. She took great care of him and of our home, and was very communicative so we knew everything was going well the whole time we were away.”
About: Hi! I’m 20 years old and have loved animals my whole life. I currently have a 3-year-old pitbull, 2-year-old rat, and a 7-year-old horse, and I’ve been riding horses for as long as I can remember. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me for years to feed, care for, and spend time with their pets. I’m reliable, patient, and truly enjoy making animals feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m a hairstylist with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, playtime, and care they deserve! I’m usually most available Fridays through Mondays, with flexible evening availability during the week as well. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I care deeply about making animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I treat every home with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a safe, stress-free environment for both you and your pets.
“We loved having Sarah care for Clyde. We came home from an extended trip to a happy and well cared for pup! 🐶 💕 We look forward to having her back to help in the future.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Emmy at my sons wedding! What was definitely an unusual request, she handled with such grace, professionalism, and genuine care. She made sure Emmy was comfortable, took her out when she needed to go potty, and stayed attentive to her throughout the entire ceremony. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Emmy was in such capable hands, allowing us to fully enjoy the wedding without worrying about her. She went above and beyond, and it was obvious that Emmy was in great hands. We are incredibly grateful for how loving, responsible, and accommodating she was. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful to care for their dog—especially when the occasion is a little outside the ordinary! Thank you for taking such amazing care of our girl, Emmy. You were truly a lifesaver! ❤️🐾”
About: I am an experienced dog mom and love to take care of them! ♡ I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes and have experience with puppies, adults, and seniors. I would love to give your pup the same love and attention as I do for my own! My 10 year old teacup poodle Junabee is probably the most spoiled dog you will find! I adopted her after a loss in the family and take care of all her needs such as monitoring her leg after surgery, walking her, feeding her, grooming and making sure she is happy and comfortable. I also had my miniature poodle Booh who lived to be 18 years old. As she became older, she developed diabetes and I helped my family take care of her and make sure she was healthy. I also grew up with an Australian shepherd and a Goldendoodle, so I'm very comfortable taking care of big and small dogs. I've also had puppies and know what they require. I can help with anything from walks, playing, companionship, and more! ♡ I work from home, which means I have the flexibility to spend lots of time with your pup throughout the day, I am completely available on the weekends! ♡ I like to keep pets as comfortable and happy as possible by sticking to their usual routines, including meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you leave for their care and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their home. ♡
“Zania was absolutely fantastic with our pit bull & cats. Our pittie is calm & lovey inside, but when he gets outside, he’s a crazy man. Zania handled him with great ease and is very knowledgeable with dogs and training. We had 1 night away and we were updated about walks, feedings, pictures, and given a bedtime pup-date ( update at the end of the day) We could not have asked for more. We are thrilled to welcome her to our house for more pet sitting.”
“Kate was great with all of our pets! She communicated well with us and had lots of photo updates. She even brought in our package that got delivered. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her services again!”
“Anastasia stayed with our dogs during a recent snow storm. We lost heat and hot water the last two days (did have a wood stove for backup heat) and she handled everything like a champ! Our dogs do so much better with her staying at the house than in a kennel or even the neighbors checking in.”
“Aubreigh was so great with our dog! She was communicative and kind! Last minute we had a schedule change and she was very flexible. She administered meds for us and left the house just as we did! We will definitely have her back 😊”
“Tyler has been amazing with my pup, who is pretty anxious, especially with new people. He took the time to let Biggie warm up to him, and sent me pics and videos so I could see that Big was okay and happy while I was away. I’ll def be asking Tyler to watch Biggie again, whenever I need to go away!”
“Loryn stayed in my home for 2 nights watching my babies for me. She was absolutely perfect! She left my house impeccable, sent frequent updates, and was very respectful. Maya and Bleu can’t wait to see her again in the future!”
“Emily stayed at our house with Zoey for 3 nights / 4 days and took great care of her! She followed all instructions we gave perfectly. We are excited to have Emily sit Zoey again!”
“Blaze was amazing with Maverick. She came over for a meet and greet prior to our vacation and Maverick took to her very quickly. While we were on vacation she would send pictures and videos of Maverick with updates. She also kept the house tidy as well. Will definitely being using Blayze's services in the future.”
About: My passions? Coffee, dogs, and music. What else do you need? I've been taking care of dogs since I got my puppy 16 years ago. She now lives with my parents, but I've always tried to keep dogs a part of my life as much as possible since I love them so much! I'm fortunate to have several friends and family members with pets that need caring for - I love to help out but also selfishly love to spend time with animals! I have experience taking care of dogs from puppies to seniors. I'm aware of how needs differ from one to the next and adjust care accordingly! I work full-time 5 days a week, typically Sunday to Thursday with the occasional Friday/Saturday. However, my work day ends at 2PM, so the rest of my day is super flexible for pet care! If your dog needs care before I start work, I'm happy to fit them into my schedule, and I don't mind staying overnight with your pet if needed! I'm not allowed to have pets in my apartment, but I'm always willing to spend as much time with your fur baby in your home as you need/prefer. I don't have a pet or child that needs me after work, so your pet would be my first priority!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Brownstown on Rover is $34.41 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 1,188 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Brownstown. 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 Brownstown 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 Brownstown 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 Brownstown 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.

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.
