Erin is absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our senior dogs. Her attention to detail and loving nature put my mind at ease so I could completely enjoy my daughter’s wedding. We definitely will use her again!!

Kristy is always calm and welcoming to our somewhat cautious dog. He warms up to her quickly and becomes her best friend. I felt very comfortable having Kristy watch our pets.

Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Asher! He’s a friendly, affectionate dog, but he can be a little cautious in new situations and with new people. Jessica was patient, intuitive, and gave him the time he needed to warm up. Before long, they were enjoying playful moments together, and it was clear she understood his personality—especially letting him lead the way on their walks, which he absolutely loves. Jessica was also an excellent communicator throughout the weekend. She shared thoughtful updates and just the right number of photos, giving us peace of mind without overwhelming us. It was clear Asher was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of taking such great care of Asher, she left our home spotless and tidy. We came home to a happy dog and a beautifully cared-for house. We can’t wait to have Jessica stay with Asher again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful sitter!

Kathy is simply the best!!! I can tell from the photos she sent during our trip that our Critters absolutely adored her based on the smiles on their sweet faces and we agree that she is a rare gem! Not only did she take pawfect care of our Pack, our Nest was nicely cared for as well!! I especially appreciate that she is able to spend so much time with the Critters as Critter Sitting is her main gig! Highly recommend! We’ve already booked future dates and are all looking forward to seeing Kathy again! 🐾🐾💚

About: Hi, I'm Bradley! By day, I'm a pilot, which means I naturally bring focus on safety, communication, and extreme reliability to everything I do. But when I'm on the ground, my real passion is hanging out with dogs. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and understand that every pet has their own unique personality. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs a long walk or a shy rescue who needs a patient, calm presence to feel safe, I tailor my care to exactly what they need. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while you're away. Because of my aviation background, I'm a stickler for routine, text updates, and keeping your pets safe and happy. I can't wait to meet your pup! I currently am on an extended break from work so I will be available almost all the time. I update my schedule frequently, so my availability is always accurate. Safety and providing an enjoyable experience are paramount for me. I understand every dog is different and like to provide a tailored experience for my clients. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means double-checking doors, using secure leashes in all public or unfenced spaces, and strictly following any medical or dietary routines you have. I adapt entirely to your dog's comfort level.

Samantha is amazing. Her communication is excellent and she sent us tons of pictures. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous but Samantha put our minds at ease. She is professional and friendly and came over before she watched our pups to introduce herself to us and our dogs. She was a perfect fit and plan on using Rover and Samantha again!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. Would always watch ours while my mom was on vacation. Love dogs more than anything and would love to meet yours! It doesn’t get affected to much I get a lunch break at work so I can always go home and let dogs out feed them etc. I also only work Monday - Thursday I feed my dogs and cats both. I take my dogs for walks almost everyday. They also both get fed at the same time everyday. I have to give my dog cbd treats sometimes bc she has anxiety and my cats just get treats a lot.

Excellent per usual! Gianna is quite accommodating., including on short order! She is caring of Gracie, our Chihuahua-Jack Russel little girl, and shared pics of her with us during the sitting. Gianna is engaging, prompt and fosters fun interactions. Hire her! She will not disappoint you or your pets.

About: I grew up with Labs and currently have two of my own (both 11 years old) so I’m well versed in everything from puppy energy to senior dog care. I’ve dog sat for friends and family over the years through both check-ins and overnight house sitting, so I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and personalities. I work from home full-time, so I have flexibility most days of the week including weekends. I offer drop-in check-ins, dog walking, and overnight house sitting — and since I’m home throughout the day, last-minute requests are usually manageable. Feel free to reach out and I’m happy to work around your schedule. I treat every client’s home with respect and stick to whatever routine works best for your dog. I work from home so for house sitting I’m around consistently throughout the day — your dog won’t be alone for long stretches. All walks are on leash and I pay close attention to body language and surroundings. I’m happy to follow any specific feeding schedules, medications, or routines you have in place.

About: I have always known the love of having a pet. Whether that was hamsters, reptiles, cats, dogs, and even hermit crabs. I have found love for each individual species, including snakes! I have been training my previous dog since I was 15 and was able to teach her to sit, shake, and release. I currently have a senior cat who is prone to seizures and is partially blind and deaf. I have been caring for him for 6 years now and he is my everything. I am currently pursuing my masters degree and am interning as well so my schedule can be tight sometimes! I will communicate with you if there are any scheduling conflicts. I can shift around my schedule where needed so let's talk more about what you need and we can work through it together to make sure your pet gets the best care possible! I can care for your best friend in whatever is best suited their needs. For my cat, Peanut, he receives oral liquid medication 3x a day at strict times. For my roommates cat who is also a senior, Fig, she receives a pill medication that is taken orally. I have experience in giving medication to animals. If an animal needs any special care, I will pay close attention to the instructions to make sure they receive the best care possible.

I would definitely recommend her as your next pet sitter and will be contacting her again in the future when I am traveling!

About: I have 5 cats of my own and am very well versed in all cats quirks and personalities. I have a lot of understanding of cat behavior and have a soft spot for all kitties. Weather your cat is standoffish, a social butterfly, a scardy cat, or even a little territorial, I have it handled! I understand cats can have weird needs or care instructions and am willing to do whatever to make your kitty feel safe and cared for. In addition, I have grown up around lot of dogs and understand canine behavior. My family has had a medium size dog since I was 8 and I did most of her training from crate training to teaching her to sit. I am willing to do whatever your dog needs from walks, to playing fetch/exercising, as well as drop by visits or weekend stays. I have a normal 9-5 job Monday through Friday but am able to do weekday visits in the morning and/or evening depending on what your feline requires (weather it be visits before I go to work, after I get off, or later in the night). I will work with you to fit your pet into my schedule and make sure they receive exactly the care they need, weather that's a drop in once a day or longer visits a couple times a day. On weekends I am available around the clock for whatever your kitty may need! I am willing to clean litter boxes, change water dishes, provide feedings, clean food bowls, provide enrichment/play time, perform health monitoring, administer any medications necessary, or any other requests to keep your cats safe and well cared for! I have a background with sick animals and have previously administered daily shots or oral medications to my own pets, so I am able to provide a wide range of medical care if your cat requires such.

Erin was fantastic! She watched our two pups at our home while we were away and gave us total peace of mind. She communicated really well throughout the stay and sent frequent updates with photos, which we loved. Erin is professional, courteous, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Clarkston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Clarkston on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,941 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clarkston. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
