“Chris eased our worries and watched over our two dogs while we were away on our wedding weekend. His thoughtful care made it easier for us to enjoy ourselves. Consistent communication and widespread knowledge on dog care. 100/5 stars!”
“Morgan responded right away to our house sitting request! She sent pics of our fur babies, which I love! Did walks and playing. House was in order and clean when we arrived home. I would use Morgan again. Thank you Morgan!”
“Cheyenne took great care of all of our furry friends and our home while we were out of town, which included our pigs and chickens. Her communication was great, and she was such a life-saver when our flight was cancelled and we were delayed 3 days. Thank you Cheyenne! I look forward to booking your services the next time we need a housesitter.”
“Thalia was such an amazing sitter to our pitties!! They warmed up to her instantly and it was a wonderful feeling that we could relax knowing that our doggies were in good hands with her! This being our first time using Rover, it was a blessing that Thalia made the experience so much better! We trusted her with our overly energetic Fiona and laid back old man dog Flash and would love to have her again! 100% recommend Thalia to anyone to look after their fur babies! Thanks again!! 💙”
About: My schedule is hybrid so I can be in and out during the work day. I grew up around cats and also have a toy fox terrier. I spent a lot of time with labs as well. Spade spent a lot of time with beagles and labs. I used to have a Chihuahua who sadly passed away 2 years ago. The yard is completely fenced in and big enough for them to play. I will also take them for walks. I have experience with injections for dogs that need insulin or medication. I work two days at home three days in office. It is hybrid and a lot of it is spent out in the community so I am able to pop in and out a lot during the work week. I have a fenced in backyard. I have a dog that is super friendly and loving. She loves other animals and any kind of company.
About: Not only have I taken care of my own and others pets for many years, but I have also worked at a vet hospital/boarding facility for 2.5 years. I have also trained my own dog to be a therapy dog, and taken him to many service events! I have the knowledge, responsibility, and passion for providing your loved one with the right care! Im currently a full time student, so I am available Tuesday - Thursday after 5pm and weekends (Friday - Monday) all day. Early mornings work as well. I’ll care for your pet in the comfort of their own home, following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of love and attention while keeping your home clean and respected, with regular updates so you can feel at ease.
“Zakariea is incredibly easy to communicate with, reliable , and flexible to changes in plans if able. She happily took my active pup for walks and provided outdoor play and inside cuddles , no matter the weather. Went out of her way to get him special treats during my time away per my request/funding . And left a happy dog and clean house for me to return to :) I hope I get the chance to have her return soon!”
About: I have known dogs for about 8 years and worked at an animal kennel for 2 years, taking care of 2-month-old puppies to 17-year-old dogs. I know how to give oral and injected medicine, and have taken training classes for all ages of dogs I am currently shadowing at a Veterinary Clinic, but will always have nights to do overnight house sitting, and the day I don't work, I am available for day-care in your home, walking, and training Any house is sufficient for overnight pet sitting, daycare, or training. I don't need anything specific for any of these services, and the pets will be getting amazing and comfortable care.
“Kerri is an absolutely amazing dog sitter — truly one of the best out there. She’s reliable, caring and someone we trust completely with Pearl and our home. Her communication is fantastic! She keeps us updated with plenty of photos, which always make our day. Pearl adores her so much that we wonder if we should be jealous ;-) And honestly, we want to gatekeep Kerri because she’s that good… but we won’t (even though a part of us really wants to). If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and keep you in the loop the whole time, Kerri is the one.”
“My girls were very well taken care of all weekend and Erik kept me updated through pics and videos. He made sure they got their walks and did things they loved, which allowed me to enjoy the weekend without too much worry.”
“Ella was fantastic when she watched our 2 dogs in our home. She was reliable, trustworthy, communicated with us about the stay & sent us pictures of the dogs. The dogs loved her & seemed very happy when we got home. I will definitely seek her out for future pet sitting jobs & recommend her to others.”
About: I’ve been around and caring for pets my entire life, and I also have over two years of professional experience as a Kennel Technician at a dog boarding and daycare facility. In that role, I provide daily care for dogs, including feeding, administering medication, and monitoring their health and behavior. I also work with other staff to coordinate schedules and maintain consistent care. Working in a boarding and daycare environment has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. I’ve learned how important patience, attention to detail, and consistency are when caring for someone else’s pet. I understand that every dog is different, and I make an effort to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. Whether your dogs needs exercise, playtime, medication, or someone dependable to look after them, I want them to feel safe. I’m currently a student at Michigan State University, and my class schedule gives me plenty of availability outside of class. I have classes Monday through Friday, but I’m available before and after class and have especially flexible availability on weekends. I’m available for dog walking and house sitting. I understand that pets do best when their routines stay consistent, so I do my best to work around their normal schedule rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. I’m happy to communicate with owners about their pets specific needs and provide updates while they’re away. Safety and following each pet’s individual routine are my top priorities. My professional experience in dog boarding and daycare environment has taught me to pay close attention to dog’s behavior, energy levels, interactions, and overall well being. I also have experienced administering medication and monitoring dogs for changes in their health or behavior. When house sitting, I treat the client’s home with the same respect that I would want someone to show my home. I make sure doors, gates, and other entry points are secure, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and keep pets supervised during walks and outdoor time. I know that leaving your pet with someone else requires a lot of trust. I want owners to feel comfortable knowing that their pet is being cared for by someone with real hands-on experience. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Kyanna was wonderful with our dogs! She was very responsive and sent pictures and updates regularly so we knew they were doing well. Highly recommend Kyanna and we will be using her again (:”
“Lauren was amazing!! So communicative and friendly. She took great care of my old man dog and was willing to accommodate all his special care needs! Will definitely be using her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in DeWitt on Rover is $48.84 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 439 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across DeWitt. 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 DeWitt 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 DeWitt 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 DeWitt 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 100% 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.
