“Erin is a blessing. She communicates well, on time and very trustworthy. My dogs were very well taken care of and I received lots of updates with cute pictures. She is very clean and took care of the house as well. Don’t know what we’d do without her! Highly recommend!”

“Kristy was pet-sitter to our 15 year old cat for two weeks. We lost his brother a short time ago, so we were particularly worried about being away from him for so long. He also requires medication twice a day. Kristy has been brilliant. Lloyd is a little skittish but we have come home and clearly he is extremely settled. She quickly observed his little quirks and has managed him very well. We were overseas but have had no difficulty communicating. Kristy is very prompt and reliable. She has left our home cleaner than when she arrived. We are so thankful that she was available for our little man and would hope that she is available to help us out in the future. Thank you Kristy.”

“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”

About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷

I’m looking for part time pet care to help take care of financial obligations. I’m willing to travel to you and don’t mind taking pets for walks.

“Carolyn took great care of our dog Bailey while staying in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was very thoughtful about keeping us in the loop—sending updates and photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. Bailey is an older pup who needs medication and a little extra TLC, and Carolyn handled his routine with ease and genuine care. It meant a lot to us to know he was comfortable and well looked after while we were out of the country. We truly appreciated Carolyn’s reliability and attentiveness, and we would gladly have her stay with Bailey again. Highly recommend!”

I was able to successfully walk all three, the calm one, the fiesty one, as well as the agreesive one. I love all animals especially dogs and cats. I currently am in school, however classes are online so I am very flexible with when I am able to walk. I should be available almost every day. I care for my pets by always making sure they are fed the right amount at the right time, always have clean water, and that I am taking dogs our to the bathroom every 3-4 hours to avoid any accidents.

“Jennifer was really great ! We have 2 senior dogs ( 15 & 14 years old ) This was the 1st time we tried Rover and I have to say it was very positive. She kept in touch with us and if there were any questions ( just a couple ) she got in touch with us. Also sent pictures through out our trip. Senior dogs can be trying at times but she handled it like a pro. Would strongly recommend Jennifer , she really goes the extra mile ! Anyone can drop in and check on your dogs, but Jen goes the extra mile and really puts your mind at ease. Thanks so much for CARING for our pets, when the need arises, she will be our first request at Rover !”

“Lexi was very accomodating-willing to do whatever asked with a flexible schedule. She took good care of my dogs, including giving them meds. She was also kind enough to make sure my sugar gliders were fed. In addition, she even offered to help with chores if I needed it! I was very nervous about leaving my babies with a stranger, and also about someone being in my house. She made my husband and me feel comfortable and left everything as she found it. I highly reccommend her and will be using her services again in the near future.”

About: Hi I'm Kristan!! I am a 33 year old experienced pet sitter and dog walker! I am passionate about animal care and can provide care for a variety of pets! I am comfortable with Dogs and Cats, Reptiles, Small Furry Animals, Fish, Birds, Ducks and Chickens, Some Farm Animals and some Exotics. I have around 18 years of personal and professional experience with animals. I have worked in the Veterinary Field for around 4 years as well as having years of professional dog walking and overnight pet sitting for all breeds of dogs and other pets as well with two separate companies. In my free time around my veterinary job, I would LOVE to be able to provide services in the community for people who may need drop-in visits or walks, feeding visits or medication visits, etc. Thank you for any consideration to watch over your Furbabies! I promise to treat them as my own and again would be more than happy to provide any references from my past employers in order to make you feel any more comfortable about using my services! I am currently available weekdays after 3 PM for any dog walks or drop in visits! I am also available Friday-Sunday for dog walks, drop in visits or overnight stays. I do not provide services in my own home. In Clients Homes, I am overly aware of how I enter and exit the home on each visit. I am observant and make sure all doors or yard gates are closed, I am very vigilant about any potential issues that could occur while I am visiting. While working for both Dog Walking Companies, we are prepped to keep our eyes and ears open for any potential dangers that can occur. Working in that environment for close to 4 years, I have become overly aware of my surroundings and can ensure safety when I am in care of anyone's pets.

I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet! I am flexible because I work from home so I am able to navigate around schedules easily. I take care of my own animals daily and have my husband as back up. I give all animals proper care and attention from feeding to cuddles. I provide a safe and trusting environment within and outside my own home.

About: Over the years I have watched friends, families, and coworkers dogs. I’ve watched up to four dogs at a time. I grew up with dogs in the home and I just love being around animals. I maintain an active lifestyle so incorporating dog walks, outdoor activities, and playtime into my day feels very natural. Caring for pets is something I enjoy, not just a responsibility. Although I work outside the home most days, I occasionally have the flexibility to work remotely and spend extra time with pets. I prioritize making sure each pet receives the exercise, attention, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy. I like to understand what the clients current routine is with their pet and what is normal for them. I follow whatever instructions are given.

Erin is a gem. My dogs and I are so glad we found her. Her demeanor was calm and reassuring from our first meeting and throughout her stay with my dogs. Erin asked about what my dogs’ daily routine was like so she could continue with it while I was away. I loved getting updates and pictures twice a day. Also when I got back home my house was neat as a pin. Thank you Erin for keeping me at ease while being away from my furry kids.

FAQs for House Sitting - Clarkston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Clarkston is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $100 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 October 2026, there are 1,888 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Clarkston. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
