“Micah was the best house and pet sitter we’ve ever had! Both of our fur balls were loved and well taken care of. We have a senior dog who needs to be let out a lot and shown some extra TLC and Micah was perfect. He sent us a ton of pictures and updates so we knew everything was going well. They also left our house in great condition, even starting the washing machine and dishwasher before leaving. We will absolutely be booking him again whenever we are out of town.”
“Jay is the best! Our puppy, Minnie, absolutely loves him! He is amazing at dealing with my long lists of instructions and he always keeps us in the loop with cute photos and other updates. I would 100% recommend Jay to anyone who is looking for a caring and responsible dog walker or sitter! You and your pup won’t be disappointed.”
“Jordyn is awesome! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs. She stayed in our house this past weekend to take care of them, and it was such a relief having somebody there that you knew was responsible and loving towards your dogs.”
“Koda loved Ryan and they become buds real quick! This was my first time using Rover and leaving Koda with a dog sitter! He sent me updates and lots of pics everyday! Best experience and would rebook with Ryan!”
“Viva is a wonderful communicator, consistently sending photos and videos of my happy pup. This is my second booking with her. She’s reliable, has high energy and my home looks like she hasn’t been here. 🙂 Highly recommend viva and will continue to book with her.”
“Morgan was absolutely amazing. She sends adorable pictures and videos consistently. This was my first time having a non family member take care of our dogs so it was nerve wracking but Morgan gave us so much piece of mind. My skittish chihuahua dachshund (who typically takes days to get used to people) climbed right in her lap! She was also wonderful to our elderly 3 legged dog! I 100% recommend her and she is now out go to sitter!”
“I couldn't recommend Andrea more! She truly cares about her clients / the pups and has an attention to detail that is hard to find. She's been able to accomodate short notice stays and always asks enough questions to be able to give my pups the same experience they would have if I were there myself. I absolutely love all the pics as well. Will continue to use Andrea in the future for any of my pet care needs.”
“Elizabeth was great! Her main charge, Babycat was well cared for and didn't seem to notice that I was gone. It was comforting knowing Elizabeth was at the house in my absence as the Baby can get a bit stressed when alone for too long. She also took great care of all the plants inside and outside. I got near daily updates with cute photos. All great!”
About: I’ve had my pitty for roughly two years and have had to deal with training, medicinal application, behavioral management and hardcore cuddling. I also have experience dealing with smaller dogs as well and tailoring my care to suit their needs as well. I work in the food service industry so my schedule can be a bit sporadic but I have taken care of my dog for two years without incident and it’s been great! I can be as flexible as you need me to be. Frequent walks and playtime. Your buddy will get the attention they deserve! I currently do not offer services in my home because my dog does not get along with intact dogs and my apartment is small.
“Grace was great with all of her communications and took excellent care of Ozzie while we were out of town. I will definitely use Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of her services. Thank you again Grace for all of your time and efforts.”
“Jessica was SO GREAT!! Sent so many cute pics and updates while we were away and left the house so nice and clean when she left. Will definitely be calling her again!”
“John was a fantastic pet sitter as well as house sitter. This is the first time that I have used a house sitter. I just returned from my trip and the house looks better than when I left it. I will definitely book John again whenever I have to be away from home. I also really appreciate the daily photos/updates that John sent to me. Being an over-protective doggy dad, that helped to put my mind at ease. I could see that Ozzie was being well cared for in my absence.”
“Chloe was fabulous from first meeting to the last day. My dog warmed up to her right away, and she was the perfect level of communicative throughout her visit. Can’t recommend enough!”
“Bryan is exceptional from start to finish. He took amazing care of our dog, kept us consistently updated, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. It’s clear he truly cares, and we came home to a happy, well-loved pup who absolutely adores him. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m an experienced and caring pet lover who has been around dogs and cats my entire life. Growing up, I regularly cared for pets in my neighborhood and spent much of my high school years pet sitting for local families. I’ve also worked at a pet store, which gave me additional hands-on experience and a strong understanding of pet care, safety, and different animals’ needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, including young, energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention, as well as senior dogs with allergies and more specific dietary or care requirements. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their individual routines, medications, feeding schedules, and any special instructions you provide. I work remotely and am able to switch around my schedule to best suit the needs of your pets and work around your schedule . I am able to take care of your pets and follow instructions. One thing I find important is ensuring your pet is still on their set schedule whether that includes potty breaks, crating, etc.
About: I have lived with cats my whole life and have great attention to detail for them. I am also experienced with dogs of different ages and sizes. The most important thing to me is that your pet is happy and healthy. I am open to any opportunites, I have also taken care of chickens and rabbits. I also can take care of plants and maintain the house if you are away. I am currently not working so I am able to devote a lot of my attention to your beloved pets. I am very flexible and always try to communicate if there is an issue or I don't know something. I am always free on weekdays but I may have limited availability on the weekends. I always take care of the space I am in and try to leave it cleaner than I found it. And of course the pets are the main focus and the center of attention! I am very good at following written instructions and if I have any questions I will always ask.
“Jeanmarie spent entire days with Bindi, my quirky little Italian greyhound. I appreciated all the photos and updates, and Bindi appreciated all the cuddles and company. I already have Jeanmarie booked for future housesits!”
“Manuela could not have been a better sitter for our dogs! She was very communicative and professional. She took wonderful care of the pups and went above and beyond!! Would 100% use her services again!”

Viva is fabulous. She took wonderful care of my house and my dog, Maya, while I was away for work. She has excellent communication, and I really appreciated the photo updates. Viva also is very accommodating and really helped me out because my flight was delayed and I was unable to make it home until the following day. I appreciate her understanding and flexibility. I could tell Maya warmed up to her very quickly- she looked very happy in all the photos. I returned home and Maya's demeanor was so relaxed, calm, and overall at ease. We both look forward to her next stay. Thank you, Viva.
Elizabeth was great! Her main charge, Babycat was well cared for and didn't seem to notice that I was gone. It was comforting knowing Elizabeth was at the house in my absence as the Baby can get a bit stressed when alone for too long. She also took great care of all the plants inside and outside. I got near daily updates with cute photos. All great!
We were very pleased with Jennifer as she cared for our dog, Barley, and our home, while we were out of town. She is very responsible, detailed, caring, and communicative. Barley can be an anxious boy, but he seemed very content with Jennifer’s care. Barley looked very happy and relaxed in the pictures she sent us in her daily communications. On our return home it was obvious that Barley and our home had been well looked after. Big extra kudos go to Jennifer for dealing with a power and internet outage that occurred during a storm on her first day there. Power was restored quickly but the Xfinity internet outage lasted 5 days! Not only did Jennifer have to change her plans with no internet, but she worked with us from afar to troubleshoot with Comcast, coordinate a tech visit, and be here to help the tech on the day we were in the air traveling back. Thank you Jennifer for going above and beyond! We highly recommend Jennifer to care for your pet and home.
Brittany was great! We have two dogs and we were out of the country for 9 nights and Brittany did a wonderful job with our dogs and our house. She was communicative, sent pics, and spent so much quality time with our dogs. She also took great care of our home and it was spotless when we returned :) We will definitely use her again if we take another trip. Highly recommend!
Jessica was absolutely exceptional. Leaving your home and a young kitten in someone else’s care can be stressful, but Jessica made the entire experience effortless from start to finish. She treated our home with incredible respect, keeping everything spotless and exactly as we left it. More importantly, she gave our kitten so much love, attention, and playtime that we never once worried while we were away. She sent thoughtful updates and photos throughout the week, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and made it clear our little one was happy, comfortable, and thriving. It’s obvious that Jessica genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She is dependable, communicative, kind, and went above and beyond in every way. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitten and a home that was even tidier than when we left. We would trust Jessica again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or house sitter. She is truly one of the best, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Five stars isn’t enough!
Jessica and Kristen took great care of our dog and our house while we were away on vacation for a week. They stayed in our home with our dog due to separation anxiety issues. They even changed our bed sheets which was a sweet gesture! We will be booking with them again soon. Thank you, again.
Micah has done an excellent job of caring for our cat and two dogs during both drop-ins and longer multi-night stays. Micah is communicative, pro-active, and takes great care to leave our home in good shape. Micah also helped us navigate a tricky broken appliance situation when we were out of the country and it was a huge relief to know we had a responsive, responsible sitter to take care of it. Our pets love Micah so we’d gladly book him again!
Jade was just a dream. Exceedingly polite, courteous, warm and friendly, and genuinely loves dogs. She and my energetic hound got along beautifully, and I felt safe and assured that Puck was being cared for. She communicated frequently, sent lots of pics, and left the house neat and clean, even changing the bedding. She's already booked for two more visits, so while I hate potentially missing out on her future availability, I highly recommend her!
Andrea is exceptionally professional, and she was very clear and communicative throughout the booking process and stay. We appreciated all the check-ins, pictures of June (especially the great action shots of her zoomies!), and all the time Andrea spent outside with June, letting her get excercise and enjoy the sun. We came home to a very relaxed and happy dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Clarkston on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,889 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clarkston. 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 Clarkston 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 Clarkston 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 Clarkston 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.

- 98% 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.
