“Laura was awesome! I didn't win my golf tournament today, but at least I only had one thing to blame: my golf game. Knowing Bravo was safe and happy made the day a whole lot less stressful. Bravo can be a bit particular about his people, and he gave Laura his stamp of approval almost immediately. Either she's a natural with dogs, or he was hypnotized by the red hair. I'm still investigating. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and let me enjoy my round without wondering if my dog was plotting his escape or teaching the neighborhood squirrels bad habits. If you're looking for someone to watch your dog, Laura is fantastic. Five stars from me and two paws up from Bravo.”
“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter. Took great care of my anxious dog and cat, staying overnight at our house for most of a week. Followed instructions to a T with my dog’s medication and needs for going outside. Left the house clean and in great shape. Would have her back anytime we need pet sitting.”
“Robert was very great to watch my dogs. He took them out for walks very often and took great care of them. Would hire him again for sure and recommend him to anyone who asks me about a pet sitter:)”
“From the moment I met Grace I just had a feeling that Milllie would be well taken care of! The second she walked through the door her focus of attention was on Millie. I needed her on very short notice and she was there for me. I trusted her completely with Millie and would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Annamaria was great! My Dog was happy as can be and I know he received a lot of attention as she provided photos of him walking, eating, playing, etc., etc. I would absolutely book Annamaria again and I am sure we will in the future! Thank you for making my dog’s experience better than expected! We were happy to know he was in good hands.”
About: I've had dogs for as long as I can remember. I started raising dogs while I was still living with my parents decades ago, and looking back, I don't think there has ever been a time in my life when I didn't have a dog by my side. I've raised my dogs from about 8 weeks old through every stage of their lives. My current dog, Wrigley, is a Golden Retriever who is now over 9 years old. I recently retired, which gives me the time and flexibility to give your dog the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I'm not looking to simply keep busy — I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and spending time with them. Over the years, I've learned how to understand dogs, handle them confidently, and care for them with patience, caution, and respect. Whether it's going for a walk, playing, providing companionship, or simply making sure they're comfortable and safe, I enjoy the responsibility that comes with caring for someone's pet. When your dog is with me, my goal is simple: to treat them with the same patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own dog. My schedule is very flexible, and I'm available throughout the week, including weekends. I'm confident we can arrange a schedule that fits both your needs and mine. I provide pet care in the comfort of your pet's own home, along with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. If it's a good fit for your pet's needs, we also have access to a secure, fenced dog park in our Troy community where they can safely exercise, socialize, and have fun.
About: I have grown up and taken care of animals most of my life. I am a reliable care taker who prioritizes communication to give you and your furry friend the best experience I possibly can and beyond. I am currently working part-time which makes my schedule perfect and flexible to help out wherever is needed! I have reliable transportation to get me to and from your furry friend! I am comfortable doing home visits whether that be for a few hours a day or over night. I take pride in my ability to give your furry friend the love and attention they need while you are away!
“Veronica was pleasantly easy to work with. Followed all instructions, my house clean the way I left it and my cat very calm when I got home. Responsive, sent the perfect amount of pictures. Will book again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last 10 years. Friends and family rely on me to help walk their dogs, provide drop-in visits, and even house sit while they are away. I currently work 3 days a week as a registered nurse. My other 4 days of the week are open, and provide me with lots of time to care for your furry friend 🐾 I have a greyhound at home, which has given me over 10+ years of experience taking big dogs out for a walk and keeping the house secure.
About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and administrating medication, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs, whether that means an active walk, playtime, or extra cuddles. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands and being treated like family. Caring for pets fits well into my weekly routine. I work from home most of the week and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to take walks, provide drop-in visits, and spend quality time with pets throughout the day. I enjoy being active and getting outside, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. Other than occasional client meetings, I can easily adjust my schedule to match your pets needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I believe dogs do best when they can stick to their normal routine. Whether I’m providing a walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting, I take the time to learn your dogs needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, along with regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Thank you so much for staying with Mae and Stewart while we were away! It was great getting the daily pictures knowing they were happy and cared for. Sorry, I had no idea the work packages would be so many and appreciate you brought them inside! We will definitely be using you again in the future!”
“Jordyn took great care of our cats! She is super sweet and dependable. She went above and beyond during her stay with us- even during a three day power outage in the middle of summer.”
“Gracie was absolutely amazing with our two pups! We were given updates and pictures all throughout the day and never had to worry about a thing when we were out of town. We have used this service a lot and haven’t had anyone that can hold a candle to how great Gracie was! Will definitely be calling her again in the future!”
“Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life and have experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. I was raised with Labs, Golden Retrievers, Doodles, and mixed breeds, and I currently have a pit mix of my own. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether I’m taking your dog for a walk, stopping by to check on your cat, or caring for your pet while you’re away, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I am currently between full time jobs, however I coach football Monday - Friday in the mid afternoon. I am available before and after coaching to take your little ones on walks. I will update this in the future should my schedule change. My dog is allowed on any couch or bed, she doesn’t have many restrictions other than jumping on tables, she sleeps on our bed or the guest bed depending on her mood lol. When it comes to sitting at your house, I will make sure your pup stays on their routine and follows any house rules that are in place!
“We were so glad Becki could stay with Layla on a late notice! You can tell she has a love for and knowledge of animals, she left our home spotless and sent us updates with photos which was great! She took Layla for walks which she loves. We did not worry about Layla’s care for a second while we were away! We would definitely recommend booking with Becki.”
“Yahawa was a great house sitter for our dog Roma, she came a few weeks in advance of our trip to for a meet and greet which was very much appreciated and she was communicative about Roma’s needs throughout her time.”
“Jillian was wonderful once again with Brisket! He’s only 2 days post neutering and she paid close attention to his needs and made sure he was comfortable! He was so excited to see her and he can’t wait to see her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clawson
We were nervous about leaving our dog, Chloe, for a week with a sitter for the very first time, but Krista did a great job!. She sent us lots of photos while we were gone and reached out if she had questions or needed clarity on anything regarding Chloe‘s daily routines. She cleaned up the house and left everything neat and tidy. We would definitely use her
Genevieve took excellent care of our dog and two cats while we were away on a trip! Our dog has reactivity issues with new people coming into our home and Genevieve was very patient and understanding in giving the time needed for him to be comfortable with her. She really understands dog behavior and that put us at ease. Genevieve was also very comminicative, including providing daily updates with lots of photos and videos of all the pets. We really appreciate that our pets were in such good hands!
Jordan was fantastic with our animals and kept us up to date everyday with pictures and details while we were away. She even looked after our small insect and spider collection. Our home was also clean and tidy when we arrived back home. We would definitely hire her again!
Erica was absolutely amazing with Boone! Before her 11-day stay in our home, she took the time to get to know him so he would feel comfortable and secure before we left. That meant so much to us, especially because Boone is a rescue who’s still figuring out his place in the world. Throughout our trip, Erica stayed in constant communication, sending frequent texts and pictures that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that Boone was happy, loved, and well cared for. Erica is kind, trustworthy, dependable, and truly has a heart for animals. She made sure Boone felt safe and secure while we were away, and we came home to a relaxed, happy dog. She also went above and beyond in so many ways. She took our garbage out, watered our plants, stripped the bed sheets before she left—thoughtful touches that were never expected but were so appreciated after a long journey of traveling home. I highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her again the next time Boone needs someone to love him while we’re away!
Solea and Dom took amazing care of our two dogs! Our husky can be a handful because of his temperament but they handled him like champs! We had no worries that our dogs were in good hands. They also cleaned the house at the end of their stay and threw the bedding into the wash. We will be using them again in the future!
Our dog is super reactive to new people given his abusive past, but Taylor brought out a side of our dog we have never seen before. She was patient and he picked up on how loving and caring she was and he literally never freaked out at her. He was giving her kisses the first time they met and it made my dog-mom heart so happy. I knew we made a great decision for a pet sitter. She texted us updates and hung out with our dog and cat (even our cat does not come out of hiding with new people but our cat was literally coming up to her for cuddles-who are these animals?!). But seriously, she is THE BEST OF THE BEST and we will only be using her from now on!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Clawson on Rover is $48.23 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 2,056 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clawson. 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 Clawson 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 Clawson 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 Clawson 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 Clawson. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
