About: I have had dogs my whole life and responsibly took care of them myself. I have also been a dog/cat sitter for many family friends throughout highschool and college! I love any and all animals and must stop to pet any dog whenever I see one! I am will to walk dogs morning or night on days that I work and can walk during the day on off days. I’m also available to make house visits to take of animals morning and night on workdays and all day on off days! Make sure they are being good and not getting into anything that could harm them while they’re in my house! Since I don’t have any fencing I would make sure to keep them in a leash when going outside
“Grace is awesome! Took great care of Daisy on very short notice. Was professional and kept a good eye on Daisy and kept her active with lots of photos. Can’t recommend Grace highly enough!!”
About: Hello, I’m Rick, an experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in in-home house sitting because pets are always happiest and least stressed when they get to stick to their normal routines in familiar surroundings. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend, going on an extended vacation, or need reliable care over the holidays, I offer complete piece of mind while you’re away. I have cared for puppies all the way up to seniors. I require a smoke free home for my own health and breathing comfort. I am best suited to care for small to medium dogs, or specific breeds I know well. I am available 7 days per week, in addition to holidays. I walk pets in the morning and afternoon. Bonus if you live in Livonia because I will also stop in on lunch. Sometimes my random vacation days coincide with pet sitting as well. Currently, I do not have any pets, but when I did, I make all the time in the world for them. I have always cared for others’ little family members in their homes. The animals are more comfortable that way, and not anxious. There are a few that I care for so often, they gave me my own key to make it more convenient. If that doesn’t show an example of trust….
About: I don't just care for your dog-I learn your dog their routine, personality, quirks, comforts and what make them feel safe and happy while your away. I have a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to make pet care part of my daily routine I'm available throughout the week for walks drop-ins play time and lots of one-on-one attention I enjoy being active and love having a furry companion to play time with. I take the time to learn each Pet's routine personality boundaries and comfort level so they can feel secure while you're away in a client's home I follow their instructions closely respect their space keep doors and Gates secure and make sure pets get the attention exercise and companionship there used to I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages
“We’ve had several drop in visits and one overnight stay with Lyle. He took excellent care of our two dogs and cat - very good communication, met all of our expectations, and our pets are slowly getting used to him, helped by his experience in dealing with different pet personalities. Very highly recommend!”
“Brea did a great watching our three dogs while we were out of town. In addition to that, our furnace had broke, and Brea took on extra duties of keeping our pups warm and the house, too. Now that the dogs know her, we will have again to watch the dogs.”
About: I love all animals as if they were my own! I’ve grown up with cats, and I have my own furry friend named Baloo. I also have experience dog sitting. I’ve cared for both Golden Retrievers, and German Shepards. I have experience administering medicine with my family cats who are on thyroid medicine, and I can stick to strict feeding schedules. I currently work with kids at an autism center Monday through Friday. Mondays, and Wednesdays I am off at 4 pm. Tuesdays and Fridays I am off at 3:15 pm. Thursdays my mornings are free before 11 am and I am off at 7pm. My weekend availability varies! Unfortunately, I can’t watch animals in my own house due to having my own cats. However, I am more than happy to stay in your place and follow your typical rules!
About: My pet care journey all started a few years ago when my grandparents got two very young puppies at the same time. I helped care for them whilst my grandparents were away. Through my experience, I realized that emotional care needs are just as important as physical care needs for dogs. A main focus of mine is establishing an emotional connection with my clients, gaining their trust, therefore elevating their care experience. Throughout the years, I was also my aunt’s senior dog Coco’s primary caregiver when she traveled for work. She has some mobility issues in which I assisted her with, as well as administering her medication. I also have a senior dog of my own that I’ve had since youth, so I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am currently working a full time 9-5. My place of work is closed on Sundays, as well as short days on Saturdays, so my primary availability is on weekends. But I am also open to evening week day care or walks for your pets! My primary focus is on your pet, and your pet only. I am very respectful of other’s spaces, and keeping a safe environment just as safe as it was when I entered it.
“Gabbie is an excellent sitter. She has taken care of our dog, Ruby, multiple times. Gabbie is communicative, understating of my pet's needs, and followed all directions very well. Ruby loves Gabbie and I look forward to working with her much more in the future!”
“Jasmine was so so wonderful with my dog! She stayed for 5 nights and she was beyond accommodating, attentive and communicative. I got to see how excited he was to see Jasmine and it spoke volumes to how well she took care of him - already have plans to rebook!!”
“She did a wonderful job watching our girl while we were away. She kept us updated every day and sent photos every day. Our 10yr old Great Dane is a glorified body pillow at this point, she doesn’t cause trouble and can stay alone for decent periods of time, even so, Rebecca asked us if was ok if she stayed out later one evening! Very considerate and respectful. Im also convinced that our house was cleaner when we came than how we left it. 10/10 recommend!”
About: I have had pets in my home for my entire life. Now that I live on my own, I have a cat but I love all animals. My cat loves other animals as well and even gets along with dogs! I have stayed at clients houses for dog-sitting purposes, I have done drop-in visits, and have also hosted dogs in my own home. I have watched all types of dogs, from small to large and have loved them all. I am very flexible with work hours and am available very often during the day and the evening for walks and to stop in to check on your beloved pets. I am available most weekends and would very much enjoy having the extra company that only a dog can provide.
“Alex has been extremely professional and is very responsive. After her recent stay over the house was left in good condition, she sent regular updates of our dogs (with pictures!) and overall has been a pleasure to work with. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I’m a dog lover who is mature and trustworthy. I have owned dogs for most of my life and also enjoy being around them. I volunteer walking dogs at the local animal shelter and have various certifications through my training with them. I currently devote most of my time to walking dogs, watching dogs, and volunteering with dogs. I will travel up to 10 miles away from my home, or more upon discussion. I will come to your home and be there with your dog as often as necessary. I can spend time in your home with your pet, feed them, walk them and stay overnight.
“Milo is the first pet sitter we’ve had stay the weekend at our home to watch our 2 dogs and cat. We have an elderly dog with doggie dementia, a Staffy, and a 3-legged cat, so they can be a handful, but they all just loved Milo! Our Staffy warmed up to him right away, which isn’t always the case, in fact our Staffy sat in his lap and gave him kisses within minutes of meeting. We found our elderly dog was calm with him, which is unusual. The way our pets reacted to meeting Milo greatly diminished our anxiety of leaving them for the first time. Milo didn’t hesitate to ask questions and kept us up to date on our pets’ status. Upon return, our animals seemed calm, happy and healthy. We will definitely ask Milo to sit again when we go out of town. Milo has a natural gift with animals and the animals really connect to his energy. 10/10!”
“Natalie was wonderful with my elderly dog Taylor! She stayed in my home for 10 days, gave Taylor her medication twice a day and was able to keep an elderly dog comfortable in her routine. I’m very thankful for her care!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Commerce Township is $50

Maura was great with Sky! ❤️ She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which I really appreciated and made me feel at ease knowing Sky was in good hands. It was clear that she cared about Sky and made sure she was well taken care of. I’m so happy I found Maura, and I will definitely be booking her again to take care of Sky. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter! 🐾
We hired Caili to watch our dog Moose for the day while we were downtown for the Detroit marathon! We requested her to be there pretty early and she had no issue with an early start time and was very punctual! She sent updates throughout the day and left the house as she found it! We will definitely be rebooking!
Nick was great with our two French Bulldogs. He came early to make sure he knew what needed to be done. He was playful with the dogs. He has a very calm demeanor and is patient. He sent pictures and kept in contact with us while we were gone, This was our first time using Rover and we felt very comfortable with Nick. The dogs were well cared for. We would love to use his services again.
When I hired Katie it was to watch my two cats, Ying and Yang. Katie met with me twice then my Yang passed away. Katie understood how significant this was to me and my other fur baby. She came over again to see Ying before I left. Katie got my anxiety about now leaving Ying without his brother for the first time. She went above and beyond to comfort both of us. I definitely recommend her.

The average cost of House Sitting in Commerce Township is $28 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night.

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 Commerce Township 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 Commerce Township 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 Commerce Township 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.
