“Gary did an amazing job house sitting with our 2 doggies for a few nights. He sent morning and evening updates with pictures, took them for a walk and let them play lots. He went the extra mile and made sure our place was left clean and taken care of as well. Thank you Gary!”
“Rob helped us out again when we had to be away for Halloween! 🎃 (even set a bowl of candy out for us as to not upset any of the neighbor kids!) our dogs completely warmed up to him and they had a great stay with him! He kept us informed throughout his stay, and we were truly happy knowing they were in good hands! Would definitely book again!”
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.”
“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.”
“Sara did a great job! She was very reliable and followed instructions exactly. She has a calm confidence and my pup seemed to take to her immediately. Will definitely book again!”
“Jillian was great! She was attentive and communicative while caring for two high maintenance animals with many medical needs. The animals weren’t always the easiest clients, but she always my maintained my full confidence with high quality photos, tender care, and thorough updates. I couldn’t recommend Jillian enough!”
“Brandon was awesome!! Very punctual and communicative, and stuck to their routine. We came home to happy girls! Thanks Brandon. Will definitely be hiring him again for future dog sitting needs.”
“Bri is the BEST! We can always trust her to take good care of our dog, Koda. She stayed with him for 8 days while we were in Europe and sent frequent updates with lots of pics. We had to come back earlier than expected and she was very flexible and accommodating.”
“Joanne was awesome with Bravo while we were out of town. Super sweet, easy to deal with, and Bravo absolutely loved her. He was happy and comfortable when we got home, and the house was spotless.”
“Emma is amazing! She took excellent care of our two little dogs when we were out of town for a few nights. Emma spent the night with them in our home and kept us updated with great photos of them. When we returned home Thatcher and Harry weren’t the least bit stressed. We will absolutely use Emma again!”
“Rebecca was timely, sent a pic and update, which was perfect. We had a busy day, so a lot of continuous pics would have been bothersome while we were driving most of the day. House was just as we left it. She has a warm and calming personality that makes you feel comfortable. Bailey was well cared for and directions followed.”
About: I had many doggos growing up my favorite was our Great Dane Valentine, he was the best buddy anybody could have. I feel he liked me the best and it felt great to have a protector. Also, I am aunt to my sister's dog Henry (hank), the cutest lab/pit bull mix. I don’t have a big place of my own but would hang out with your pupper! I have all the passes to all the parks! I love hiking, biking, and would enjoy the company! I do love all animals, when any of my friends go out of town or need help with their pets I’m always the first person they call. I just want to help animal lovers like me. If you have any question just give me text!
“Amy was great, didn’t hesitate to ask questions to make sure the pets were taken care of properly, and made sure to give them treats and cuddles. My cat and dog seemed very happy. Will definitely be booking again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! We’ve always had dogs in the family, big and small. I’ve been fostering animals (cats, dogs, bunnies) for about 2 years now as well! I’ve cared for kittens, feral kittens, grown cats, puppies that are learning basic commands and potty training, adult dogs. I’ve also taken care of animals that need extra care, ones that aren’t comfortable around humans or came from stressful situations. I’m available Saturday & Sunday! Monday through Friday I work 9am-6pm, so I’d be available before or after. My lunch is from 1-2pm, if you’re near Troy I could possibly make that work as well! I respect animals and allow them the space to feel comfortable and interact on their terms! I’m also very mindful of surroundings and am naturally a very tidy person.
“Rachel was great with our pup. When she did a meet and greet, she immediately got on the floor and started playing with him. We left Cooper with her at our home overnight and she did a great job sending pictures and keeping us involved. I knew he was in good care.”
“Hannah was AMAZING!! I knew from the moment I met her that she would be a perfect fit to take care of my sweet Millie. She is such a sweet person and from the second she walked in the door her first priority was my dog Millie. I will most definitely be reaching out to her again if I am ever need of a trustworthy sitter for my dog.”
About: Hi there! I’m a mom of two (my husband holds down our fort while I help hold down yours), a longtime pet lover, and currently the very happy human to two cats and two puppies of my own. Our house is definitely a little busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I know how much peace of mind it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’m here to make those daytime hours a little easier — whether your pup needs a good walk, your kitty needs some company, or your pet simply needs a little extra attention while you’re away. I have experience caring for both baby and senior pets, including pets who need medications or a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable following routines, giving medications as directed, and paying attention to the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I work remotely , so I’m available during daytime hours, and happy to work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m dependable, communicative, and the type of person who will happily send you a photo and a quick update so you know your furry family member is doing just fine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, particular, old and wise, or still figuring out their paws — I’d love to help take care of them! ❤️ I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day to give your pet the attention and companionship they need. Whether they need a midday potty break, a little playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply someone nearby while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m available during daytime hours and can be flexible around your pet’s normal routine. When your pet is in my care, my goal is simple: help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would when you’re at home. As a work-from-home mom and pet owner, I’m used to the different personalities, routines, and energy levels that come with having animals around. I have experience with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and everything in between, and I’m comfortable giving medications and following specific care instructions. You can expect: Lots of attention and companionship throughout the day Comfort caring for pets with different energy levels and needs Careful attention to medications, feeding schedules, routines, and special instructions Patience with shy, nervous, excitable, or senior pets A focus on your pet's comfort and individual personality Regular updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing I pay attention to the little things — changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or mood — because those details can tell you a lot about how a pet is feeling. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in calm, caring, attentive care while you're away.

I highly recommend Kylie for pet and house sitting. She recently watched our dog and cat for the weekend and exceeded our expectations. Kylie is an excellent communicator, highly dependable, and respectful of our home, leaving it perfectly clean. We will definitely hire her again.
We had a great experience! Taylor took wonderful care of our pets and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned home, and the house was left in great condition. We felt very comfortable knowing everything was well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely call on Taylor for our future pet sitting needs!
Veronica was wonderful! Communicative and attentive to detail - very committed to ensuring the Weens were safe and their routines sustained. I’m a nervous dog momma - but felt completely comfortable. Our house was also cared for with attention and love. Thank you so much!
Bri is the BEST! We can always trust her to take good care of our dog, Koda. She stayed with him for 8 days while we were in Europe and sent frequent updates with lots of pics. We had to come back earlier than expected and she was very flexible and accommodating.
Jodi was a very attentive sitter, she messaged me with any questions or concerns, sent pictures of my pets and kept me updated throughout! The house was just as I left it and most importantly the animals were HAPPY when I came home. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter 🙂
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Clawson is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $111 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 November 2026, there are 2,012 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Clawson. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
