“I was in a last minute pinch for a weekend trip and Josh came through. Josh took great care of my two pets and made sure they were well taken care of and loved. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover currently living with my two dogs, Chip and Theo. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments through house visits and dog walking, so your pet is in good hands. I always send updates and make it a priority to make sure every pet feels as comfortable as my own. I work in tech so I’m home frequently, meaning your pet won’t be left alone for long. I have a spacious two bedroom apartment in a nice complex with a park area right outside, perfect for walks and fresh air. When hosting pets in my home, I make sure they have plenty of space and feel comfortable. I have a two bedroom apartment in a dog friendly complex with a park area right outside, so there is always somewhere to walk and get fresh air. They are never cooped up and I am home frequently so they get consistent attention throughout the day. When doing house visits or drop ins, I stick to the pet’s routine as much as possible. I handle feeding, walks, litter, and make sure they have everything they need. I always keep the owner updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is in good hands.
“Breanna is very kind, caring and did amazing with our pack. I would use her again! She took good care of our home and our pets are all happy. Very satisfied with her and would use her again for overnight stays in our home.”
“Brandi was awesome! She came and stayed with our 4 month old pup at our house for 6 hours while we attended a wedding. Took him on plenty of walks and was a pleasure to have in our home. Will book again for pet sitting!”
“Khelsi came and stayed with my baby while I went out of town for a long weekend. She was amazing at keeping me updated. Highly recommend Khelsi to care for your fur babies.”
“Kylie did a great job with my dogs. I always arrived home from my trips to happy dogs and my house in good condition. She gave me great peace of mind when I had to go out of town.”
“Dawn did a terrific job dog and house sitting for a week for us. We came home to a happy dog and a home just as we left it. Dawn will always be our first choice to take care of Stella and our abode.”
“Steve and Linda were amazing! We left them with our 6 year old labradoodle and 14 week old puppy and they handled it masterfully. Wonderfully patient with barking, odd sleeping arrangements, early wake up calls and puppy accidents. They took good care of us too...clearing snowy driveways, leaving the house spotless, and sending my husbands passport to us via fed ex when he misplaced his wallet! Lots of pics and updates when we were gone allowed us to rest easy. Highly recommend!!!”
“Cheryl is wonderful and very kind. Our dog Bella takes time to warm up to people and she didn’t have a problem warming up to Cheryl and snuggling on the couch with her. I already have her booked to house sit for us before the end of the year. Thank you for your care of our pack, Cheryl!”
“Katie is super reliable, honest and respectful of my home, plus she's great with my dogs. There's a reason we've booked her several times and will continue to moving forward. Thanks, Katie!”
About: Hi my name is Sarah, and I am a stay at home mom. I have a 6 year old daughter, who is great with dogs and always gets so excited when we get new dogs, and always loves when we see them again. we definitely are an animal loving family! I've always had dogs growing up, and watched my mom's dog anytime she's out of town. My husband also loves dogs and he loves to play with them. I've been doing rover now for 3 years and I love getting to know different types of dogs and meeting new people! We have a fenced in yard that is a pretty decent size to run around and burn there energy, and I normally will always go out with them as well to throw some toys around and watch them run around. We are not always able to give them walks but we try our best especially if the weather is nice. We enjoy getting fresh air as well. But either way I let them run out in the back! I am always taking photos, and will send you as many updates as you'd like. Your dog will always get love and attention here. Like I said I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is super flexible. We always will treat your dog like family. If you let them sleep with you on your bed, most likely we will too! Whatever routine you have for them, I will too.
“Rhiannon was terrific! She cared for our dogs and home with great care and wonderful communication. Meant the world to us to receive regular updates with happy dog photos. She was flexible and quick to respond. Great experience!”
About: professionally, I have taken care of pets for the last 3 years, ranging from dogs to cats to birds to lizards, with care ranging from normal sittings to walks, to overnight work as well. Personally, I have taken care of pets my whole life, currently either six cats and a big dog (and a gecko). Dogs have always been drawn to me it seems, with all of them (save for one 😅) growing to love me in time. Let me add your pet to that list! I am as malleable as the client needs me to be. Obviously that can change around holidays sometimes, but generally I am super available and almost always by my phone if needed. I unfortunately cannot offer boardings as I have a dog and that would not be fair to her. However, when I do sittings, especially overnight ones, my goal is to leave the pet parent’s as close to how it looked when I got there.
“Lauri was amazing. She was wonderful with my dogs, including my senior who has health issues and takes medications. She gave me frequent, comprehensive updates, and sent plenty of much-appreciated photos of my fur babies (and even of my aquarium and flowers). She took excellent care of the household generally, followed all my instructions/requests, and was very professional and communicative. The dogs were lucky to have her. I'll call on her again in a heartbeat!”
“Always a perfect experience with Misty. My wife and I got home from a week vacation and the fur babies were as happy as can be just like we never even left. Misty is so good with our babies and always checks in with pics and updates.”
“Chetoya was amazing with our doggies!!! She handled them all pretty well and went the extra mile taking them on walks! They looked very happy when we arrived and everything was in order! Don't hesitate to book with her!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Eastpointe is $50

Elizabeth was excellent. I felt safe leaving my babies with her while I was away. She left everything in the apartment just as she found it in the kitties even better than I had left them. They both love her and Elizabeth was very intuitive and left detailed notes for me when I returned. Highly recommend.
Breanna sat for my 2 dogs while we were on vacation for 5 days. She stayed at our house and everything went great. She kept us updated with daily pictures, which was reassuring! I will definitely use her again and refer her to friends and family! Thank you Breanna!!
Josh was wonderful My girl, Sable just fell in love with him Libby is still looking for him. He took them for walks. He watched their diet. He stayed with him over the weekend. My home was neat and tidy when I got home better than I left it Dogs are happy that makes me happy Josh communicated sent me pictures. Let me know what my dogs were up to. Yes, indeed, I would use him again Blessings, Josh
Sarah is wonderful. Our dogs love her. She is relaxed and goes out of her way to make our dogs happy in our absence. She was there everyday when she said she’d be and stayed with our dogs so they weren’t on their own longer than necessary. We definitely would love to use her again if she’s available. She’s the best! We came home to a clean house. Our dogs shed a lot! It was nice to walk into vacuumed floors. Sarah was excellent with communicating with us and sending pictures.

FAQs for House Sitting - Eastpointe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eastpointe on Rover is $41.73 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,932 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eastpointe. 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 Eastpointe 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 Eastpointe 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 Eastpointe 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.
