“Sadie did a great job with Cozmo. He is a big dog that has a lot of energy and is always looking for attention. This was her first time meeting him and she went over and above to create a friendship by playing with him and even taking for a ride for a pup cup. I will be hoping to book Sadie the next time I need a dog sitter!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Asher! He’s a friendly, affectionate dog, but he can be a little cautious in new situations and with new people. Jessica was patient, intuitive, and gave him the time he needed to warm up. Before long, they were enjoying playful moments together, and it was clear she understood his personality—especially letting him lead the way on their walks, which he absolutely loves. Jessica was also an excellent communicator throughout the weekend. She shared thoughtful updates and just the right number of photos, giving us peace of mind without overwhelming us. It was clear Asher was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of taking such great care of Asher, she left our home spotless and tidy. We came home to a happy dog and a beautifully cared-for house. We can’t wait to have Jessica stay with Asher again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful sitter!”
“Erin is absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of our senior dogs. Her attention to detail and loving nature put my mind at ease so I could completely enjoy my daughter’s wedding. We definitely will use her again!!”
“Asher stayed, in our home, with our 14wk old puppy for 12days! We returned to a well trained potty trained and polite gentleman. Asher kept us updated multiple times everyday. He then wrote a report of all the training, tricks and how to continue the training. Asher also had an emergency in the middle of the stay and communicated through the whole thing …. Working with us to ensure our dog was completely taken care of. With a few hours he was back for the rest of the booked stay! I cannot recommend Asher enough. He is worth every penny and much more.”
“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”
“Carolyn took great care of my pup! She stayed in our home so he could be the most comfortable :) she gave him frequent walks and outside time and sent us pictures showing him living his best life! I felt very safe with her looking after my buddy and will definitely use her again :)”
“Samantha was great! I am pretty sure our dogs were sad to see us come home:-) They had trail walks, pup cups and lots of love. Samantha stayed for 3 nights and my house was kept in good order. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
About: I’ve been around all kinds of animals since I was a little kid. From reptiles to furry friends. I currently have 3 cats & 1 dog and they’re my precious babies. Ever since I was a little kid, I always knew what I wanted to be when I was older. A vet tech. My love and passion for animals has always been there, and now I’m getting my journey started to make my dream come true 🐾💕 I work at a school as an ASD Para! My schedule is M-F 7:45am-2:45pm (ish). Please note I can do drop ins after 3pm during weekdays & the weekend I am more available 💕✨ I’m more than willing to work around that to ensure care for your pets :) I’d also like you to note that I get breaks and days off which I will include here (this is just for the rest of 2026 and depends on how booked I am!): 9/21/26: Available all day 10/30/26: Available after 12pm 11/3/26: Available all day 11/4/26: Available after 12pm 11/17/26: Available after 12pm 11/25/26: Available after 12pm 11/26/26-11/29/26: Available all day 12/19/26-1/3/27: Available I will ensure the safety of the animals no matter how the clients home is. By that I mostly mean if their yard is fenced and they have dogs. I will do whatever the client asks to ensure trust and comfortability of the client and the pets
“We can't say enough about Melissa. We were leaving during snow and ice for a long time planned vacation. Melissa made it to our home, took care of our pets and even went above and beyond to make sure we didn't worry while on vacation. She sent videos and pics daily, stayed in touch with us and we appreciate how happy our pets were. Thank you thank you thank you!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, hermit crabs, guinea pigs, you name it I’ve taken care of it. I love animals so much and think that every animal on earth deserves love and care. I am free 24/7 so pet care is a main priority in my life. I myself have two guinea pigs, a dog, and an orange cat that I love very much. I am more comfortable taking care of clients pets in the clients home. I do not have a fenced in yard in my home and I have many pets.
About: I prefer to book 24 hours in advance to do a meet and greet. This will ensure that both our dogs get along before booking for both our safety and peace of mind.. My husband and I have a large fenced in yard in Hastings and we love to meet new dogs. I have a cat named Apollo and a 2 year old and a dog - An Alaskan Malamute. His name is Drago and he is a giant lover. He gets along very well with other dogs but is very hyper upon meeting a new dog. Drago is not fixed so we are hesitant to accept females. We have a large crate in the house. We also have a leash in the backyard as well. If needed, we can provide food with an additional fee. I do offer drop in visits and dog walking if you live in Hastings or close by. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me. Thank you! I currently work Sunday -Wednesday so I am mostly available Thursday,Friday and Saturday. My husband works nights so he is home during the day but can also assist with drop in visits during the days I work Drago always has a full food dish, water and shares well! We also have treats that our daughter loves to pass out. We do give our dog table scraps sometimes and our fur babies are allowed on the couch!
About: It’s my first summer on Rover! I started in July of ‘26. I have lots of experience with my own two cats. And I’ve helped with dog walks and drop in visits a few times now. I have 8 years of experience in behavioral work with children and lots of those skills can be applied to cats and dogs. I’m working for a school Monday - Friday so please keep that in mind when making requests! I’ll be available on most weekends. I’m located in Clarkston and if you are too or in Lake Orion or Auburn Hills then we’d be a good match! I have two indoor only cats. They’re both ginger girls so they’re both very social and loving with their dad and I. They love it when we’re home with them to cuddle, get kisses and treats!
“We had a good experience with Lauren for overnight with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can only say I wish there were a few more updates throughout, but absolutely no issues. Thank you, Lauren”
“Anna was great! Our pets were well taken care of and she was respectful of our home. She sent us photos as requested too. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Kathy is THE most WONDERFUL pet sitter EVER!!! I went on vacation for 7 days, I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of of my foster dog and giving her love and the best of care. My foster dog has serious separation anxiety , Kathy stayed with her 24/7. Not only , given the best of care, but also my home was in pristine condition when I got home. Kathy took her for daily walks, played with her sent photos daily and progress updates. All I can say is WOW, I am so totally impressed! I never need to look for any other pet sitter again Kathy is the VERY BEST!!!! ***** Five stars plus …”

She loves animals and will take care of them and your house like they are her own. You will not be disappointed. She’s the best. Thank you Amber!

FAQs for House Sitting - Drayton Plains
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Drayton Plains on Rover is $43.6 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 2,172 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Drayton Plains. 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 Drayton Plains 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 Drayton Plains 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 Drayton Plains 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.

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.
