“Erin has been amazing! She is timely, thorough and easy-going. She has provided exceptional care for my anxiety ridden pup that can’t stay home alone. I would HIGHLY recommend Erin.”
“Jordan did an amazing job taking care of our babies while we were gone! One of our pups wasn’t feeling well and she took extra special care of him to make him more comfortable. She sent updates and photos, which is always nice to get when you’re away and missing your pups! We came home to happy and well-cared for dogs!”
“Kristy was incredibly kind, communicative, and patient with our two cats and our dog. This was the first time she cared for them, and I didn’t feel nervous at all leaving Bailey and the cats in her care. She kept us updated, paid close attention to their individual needs, and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Kristy did an amazing job, and we would absolutely trust her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate sitter.”
“Kathy is such a gem!!! Most importantly my critters love her and the love is reciprocated! She is so thoughtful….after staying at our nest and observing my love of dragonflies she found a sweet little dragonfly bag and filled it with treasures! So thankful for her! 💚🐾🐾”
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.
“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!”
“Asher did such a great job watching our 2 senior boys. We came home to 2 happy and healthy dogs and we could tell they had a great time. Asher was great at sending updates, photos, and vids. We will definitely book again. Thanks Asher!”
About: I have been pet sitting for over five years and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve also cared for cats, including frequently watching my sisters cat, so I am comfortable with feline friends as well! I love being around animals and treat every pet as it’s my own. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide reliable care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of attention to make sure your pet feels comfortable and loved. I prioritize keeping pets on their normal routines and can adjust my schedule as needed to meet their individual needs. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or weekend care, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care and treating every pet like family. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routines and providing plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide walks and playtime, clean up after pets, and make sure they always have fresh water and a safe environment. I understand that being away from their owners can be stressful, so I strive to create a calm, familiar experience and treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“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!”
“We had a good experience with Lauren for overnight with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can only say I wish there were a few more updates throughout, but absolutely no issues. Thank you, Lauren”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, you name it I’ve taken care of it. I love animals so much and think that every animal on earth deserves love and care. I am free 24/7 so pet care is a main priority in my life. I myself have two guinea pigs, a dog, and an orange cat that I love very much. I am more comfortable taking care of clients pets in the clients home. I do not have a fenced in yard in my home and I have many pets.
“Sasha absolutely LOVED Gianna! Gianna is obviously a dog lover, and I felt very comfortable leaving Sasha with her while I went out of town. I appreciated that she sent me a video and an update that Sasha was happy. I will absolutely call Gianna again when I go out of town!”
“Judy provided great communication the entire trip and ensured my dog got the correct medications. She left the house clean and it gave me peace of mind knowing Judy was at home with my dog.”
“This was our first time using Carrie. She was great and made our dogs feel safe and loved while my wife and I were gone. She sent updates and left our home squeaky clean! We recommend her to anyone!”
“This was our first time using Brooke to watch both our dog and cat in our home. Unfortunately, the day before we were leaving, the dog became sick. We had to get an urgent care appointment the morning of our departure. Needless to say, I was very anxious leaving him with someone I’d just met, and he didn’t know. He was put on 5 different medications and ointments, so I contacted Brooke. She assured me that she had no problem handling the treatments. For the next week, she checked in daily, and taking care of all of our pets needs. I returned to a spotless home and two healthy fur babies! Brooke is excellent! I would confidently recommend her!”
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 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clarkston
Kristy was good with all the critters and following directions, some that were complex and had to be done on a timed basis. Kevin in high maintenence as is Gordie with his need for frequent diaper changes. All were in good spirits when we arrived home. I'm sure Happy, Kevin and Gordie were given all kinds of attention. I hope Kristy will come again to care for our crew.
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.

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.
