“Elizabeth was wonderful, she understood what I told her about my dog and how things are on her time! I was a bit nervous about leaving her with someone she had only met once. BUT Elizabeth did what I explained to her and all went so much better then I could imagine. She will be her sitter from her on out! She is a wonderful person!”
“1st time using Rover and glad we did. Jamie was reliable and a great communicator. She was able to quickly bond with our dog and provide the necessary exercise needed. Since we were traveling and in Charlevoix MI for our son's wedding, Jamie was able to quickly put us at ease by providing great care for our dog.”
About: I have had my own dog since I was 8 and taken care of other family and friends’ dog throughout my life. They have relied on my to feed, walk, and watch their pets while they are gone. I currently work from home, so I would be available at different times throughout the week depending on my schedule but most times during the week. I am currently living in an apartment with two kittens. This building allows animals and there are big open grass area for dogs as well as a walking trail nearby.
About: Hi, Im Michaela and welcome to my page! I have created a “hotel for dogs” in my home and have been doing this for over 5 years now! Before I began working for myself I worked at Waverly animal hospital for 2 years! I am highly trained and qualified to meet all your needs. I have been trained in giving medication as well as being able to handle timid/aggressive behavior. I also have been trained in introducing dogs to each other. I guarantee the best care for your pets, along with safety , fun , and all the love to give! A little about me: I’m a NEW mom to a wonderful baby boy who loves and enjoys your pets just as much as I do! I’m am very CAUTIOUS when it comes to letting my son near your pets. I do not allow any contact without direct supervision. I DO have help at my house during boardings so keeping my son separated from timid/aggressive pets WILL NOT and HAS NOT been an issue. I will attach a few photos of the interactions between my son and pets :) Pets love boarding at my house !! My house includes a LARGE partially fenced in yard (currently being redone) along with a giant cleaned spacious garage, and a big basement all used for playtimes! My house is open for free roaming . I do have two medium sized kennels and one large kennel ONLY used when double boarding and separate play times are needed! I provide the same care with in home sittings as well .

Although my backyard is currently only partially fenced I do have extremely long dog chains that stretch all the way from one end to the other end of my large backyard. So if they must be on leash when outside , running around will not be a problem for them :)
About: Dogs have been my biggest hyperfixation since I was 8 years old. I’m diagnosed with autism so you can trust that I won’t just ‘vaguely follow’ your instructions, I stick to them exactly. If you have a specific regimen for your pet, I’m the person who will actually get it right every single time. I do want to preface that I’m completely comfortable with high-energy dogs that need a real workout and contrary to that, senior pets that have a strict medication schedule. You won't get 'fluff' or vague updates from me, i’ll give you clear communication and the peace of mind that comes from someone who takes your pet’s routine as seriously as you do. If you need someone who won't miss a single detail, I’m ready to help ⭑.ᐟ - side note: I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Because of that, pet care isn't just something I do, it’s become intuitive at this point. I don't have to guess what a pet needs; I’ve spent my life learning their body language and the specific care required for each and every one of them. I absolutely love making time for furry friends! Right now, my schedule is quite flexible, primarily Mondays-Fridays which means I can truly prioritize your pets routine. Whether they need a mid-day play session to burn off energy or some evening cuddles to wind down, I’m here for it! I’m dedicated to being reliable and consistent so your pet feels totally at ease while you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities! I treat every home I visit with the utmost respect and every cat as if they were my own. I’m very observant of body language and environment to make sure everything is secure. You can expect plenty of cute photo updates and open communication so you can have total peace of mind knowing your baby is in safe, loving hands!

“We have used Cher a couple times to watch and feed our dog and she has been great to work with. I appreciate that she sent pictures of our dog Max and kept us in the loop of how he is doing. As long as she is available we will continue to have her help us. Thank you!”
“We were out of town for two days and Rachel and Stefan stepped into help us last minute take care of our dogs. We could not have been happier with their service. The dogs seemed content and happy when we returned and the house was left in an orderly condition. They followed our instructions for dog care and asked pertinent questions. I would definitely use them again for our furry pups.”

“Andrea and Marcus are always the best! They take great care of our boys, always sending photos and keeping us updated while we are gone. As much as we miss the pups, we know they are well taken care of and in good hands. The boys seem to love being with them and are comfortable having them around. Thanks again for always taking such great care of them!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 442 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Duplain. 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 Duplain 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 Duplain 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 Duplain 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.
