“Emma was wonderful! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and she provided loving care for my cats. The house was clean and neat upon our return. She went above and beyond by washing the bedding and putting clean sheets on the bed. We were given frequent updates as to how things were going while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Allison was great! We needed a sitter fairly last minute due to a cancellation, and she worked out perfectly! She was communicative, easy to work with, left the house clean, and we could tell the pups were well cared for. We would definitely use her again!”
“Holly was a great sitter for Lacy and Louie! Her communication was great and she was very respectful of our house. It was obvious that our pets were well cared for!”
“Lillie was great, and Gilligan seemed right at home with her. She made sure to provide updates and send pictures. I really appreciated her staying in touch and I plan to use her again in the future!”
“We really enjoyed Matthew as our sitter. He was very gracious, kind and professional. He adapted well to our chaos (😂) and he cleaned up after himself! It was pretty amazing to come home to the kitchen clean, bed sheets stripped and the dogs having been walked and looking perfectly happy. Felt so good to know they were so well cared for. We would absolutely love to have Matthew again.”
“Tayler watched our dog and shy cat at our house while we traveled overseas. She was great with our older dog and cared for our very timid cat. Communication was excellent and she sent very nice updates during the week. I highly recommend Tayler!”
“Fantastic. Would highly recommend. Communicated the whole weekend, dogs were a gem to come home to; not overly upset that we left them, and almost sad to see us and not Julie :)”
About: Hi! I am a junior at GVSU studying Radiation Therapy. I have pet sat and dog walked for family and friends for years. I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from nervous chihuahuas to chunky Rottweilers! I’ve also cared for many cat personalities too. I’ve volunteered at West Michigan humane society in the cat and small animals department. I also have a love for reptiles and rodents. I currently have 2 five year old Guinea pig girls, and my roommate has a Russian tortoise! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, fostering and adopting dogs, taking in barn cats, a few pet fish, and having a leopard gecko for 10+ years. I have a lot of time available, and would love to assist your family! As a busy college student- I actually have plenty of time to stay in someone’s home as I can study! I have scheduled classes 10am-3pm Tues, Wed, and Noon-2pm Thurs. I can be flexible depending on your needs. When caring for an animal in a clients home I want to understand the animals personality, needs, and quirks. I love playing with animals, giving them affection, or just being in their presence. I make sure your pet/s have plenty bathroom breaks, constant clean water, fed at appropriate times, and feel loved. I’m happy to abide by oddly specific instructions, my own animals require some silly requests :-) Every animal has different levels of trust, and I am always patient to gain that trust and not expect it. Your pets won’t be bored or lonely, I’m happy to keep them entertained!
“Caroline was great for her first visit to house set for our 3 pups for the night. She stayed in communication and did what she said she would. She even had to leave early morning and was able to let them out twice and feed them before she left. Will be using her again in the future!”
About: ***HOUSE SITTING REQUESTS PLEASE READ BELOW - MY DOG SITS WITH ME *** Hey there, thank you for checking out my page! I’m Joie ("Joey") and I’m a recent Grand Valley State University graduate in Wildlife Biology and Natural Resources Management with a lifelong passion for animals. I have a dog and cat of my own, and I’ve cared for countless pets through Rover, friends, neighbors, and direct experience at two veterinary clinics. I know your pet’s routine changes when you’re away, so I focus on making the transition as smooth and comforting as possible. Each visit will be more than a quick check-in and includes companionship, enrichment, and plenty of love, plus updates and photos for your ease of mind. If you're interested in booking with me, just know that I'm working full-time (shifts are ~7.5 hours), but as long as we stay in communication, we can work out a plan that suits both of us. I try to be as flexible, reliable, and dedicated to providing the best care for your pets as I can be. *** HOUSE SITTING DISCLAIMER *** Since I have my own dog, she will be coming with me for this service. This might not make me the best fit for every household, especially if there are pets or people who might not be comfortable with another dog in their space. I always prioritize the comfort of your home and pets, so if this arrangement isn’t ideal, I completely understand. Rosie is a 5yo, 50lb high-energy dog who is well-behaved and has been socialized at dog parks and helping me with house sitting. She's a little picky about who she'll play with but she does fine coexisting around other dogs, and cats as well. If you’re interested, we can arrange a meet-and-greet to ensure everyone gets along. Pet care is second nature to me and is a part of my and my animals' everyday life. Once I learn your pet's routine, each visit will flow even more smoothly than the last! I like to make sure that both the pets and the owner know that they are in good hands. Good communication is key! It definitely helps the stay go smoothly.
“Anna was a pleasure to have back in our home to watch my boys, timely and perfect communication as always. Our favorite pet sitter and we can’t wait to have you back soon!”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all kinds, and have owned my own large breed for 8 years. I love spending my free time with animals! I am in school right now, and perform music on the weekends. It's difficult to fit a traditional 9-5 in my schedule, so I love that I'm able to make ends meet while doing what I love, spending time with animals❤️ I am strong, and accustomed to walking big dogs. I'm familiar with keeping a calm composure, and understand that all animals need time to earn trust. Everyone's fur baby is safe with me, and will be treated as my own!💛
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was little, and caring for them has always been more than just a job—it’s something I truly love. I’ve worked with countless animal shelters, giving me experience with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and special needs. I’ve also worked as a dog bather at PetSmart, where I learned proper grooming techniques, handling skills, and how to recognize signs that a pet may need extra attention or care. In addition to Rover, I also provide pet care through Wag!, so I’m experienced with daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to get to know their personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or a senior needing a little extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same love, kindness, and respect that I give my own animals. When your pet is with me, you can expect reliable communication, plenty of updates and photos, and the peace of mind that they’re in caring, experienced hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work remote so I am always available! I love my home, and sharing it with others. I live in a beautiful neighborhood. I have a lot of free time at the moment. I make sure everything is followed correctly for what you and your pets needs require. I also am a very honest and kind person who won’t let you down! I prioritize safety and instruction.
About: I live in Grand Rapids and work for Godfrey-Lee Public Schools! I am a big time animal lover! I have a sweet puppy named Magnolia who loves to spend time with other dogs of all kinds! I am working full-time, but am very open on the weekends and after 6pm on mon-thu. If you will be gone for a weeknight or full weekend, I’m your person for sitting! And I’m always happy for an amazing evening walk on the weekdays and any walk on the weekends! I don’t work fridays! I have lived with animals my entire life and fostered many cats and a dog! Currently, I live with a cat and help my family with their animals as much as I can!
“Jessica was awesome!!! We took a long trip out of state, all of our prior sitters were booked, so this was our first time with Jessica and we would highly recommend! We will definitely be using her in the future! We have very old dogs with lots of quirks and Jessica did great with them/cared for them very well. As requested, she stayed in our home with them so we know they got lots of attention. She gave frequent updates and pictures which was great and we felt very at easy knowing the pups were being taken care of well. Lastly she left the house very clean and orderly.”
“Kristin took great care of our elderly dog who required medication management and dog walks. She stayed overnight and when we returned our pet and home were well taken care of!”

Yvonne (Vonnie) did an excellent job of dog sitting. Vonnie was wonderful with my dog who can be a little shy/anxious and slow to warm up to new people. I got update videos and pictures consistently every day. My space was also kept nice and clean, which I so appreciated. I will definitely be booking with Vonnie again.
Emma was wonderful! We were gone for almost 3 weeks and she provided loving care for my cats. The house was clean and neat upon our return. She went above and beyond by washing the bedding and putting clean sheets on the bed. We were given frequent updates as to how things were going while we were away. We will definitely be using her again in the future.
Leksi is easily the best sitter we have had for our pups! She came and met the dogs before hand and clearly cares for animals a lot! She asked questions and checked in throughout the week. She sent us daily pictures and updated us on the little things. We came home to a clean home that was the exact way we left it! Plus our dogs who seemed super happy and content!
Ashleigh was great companion for our pup ella bean! She went above and beyond when she had a car issue and still got to our pup and take care of her! She was very happy when we got home. She also went above and beyond helping us keep plants watered and odds and ends.! Highly recommended!
Jacob did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were out of town. Even with the added stress of some home renovations going on at the same time, I could tell our dogs were happy and comfortable from the daily updates. I would absolutely ask Jacob to watch our dogs again!
Summer was absolutely amazing! She followed instructions perfectly, gave my girls lots of love while I was gone and took excellent care of my house. I highly recommend her and will be using her again. Summer gave me regular updates and sent pictures which provided me such awesome peace of mind while I was traveling.

The average cost of House Sitting in Comstock Park is $38 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $75 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 October 2026, there are 970 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Comstock Park. 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 Comstock Park 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 Comstock Park 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Comstock Park 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
