“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.”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Jackson and Kato. This was her first stay with them, and unfortunately she walked into a situation none of us fully understood at the time. Our senior dog, Jackson, was in the very early stages of what we later learned was likely a stroke or other serious medical event. His condition deteriorated rapidly after we returned home, and we ultimately had to help him cross the rainbow bridge just a few days later. Throughout her stay, Christine was observant, compassionate, communicative, and incredibly kind to both dogs. She cared for Jackson with patience and love during what turned out to be one of the final weekends of his life, and I will always be grateful for that. Knowing he spent those days being cuddled, comforted, and genuinely cared for brings our family tremendous comfort. She also completely won over our other senior dog, Kato, who adored her from the start. Christine followed detailed medication instructions, cared for two dogs with significant medical needs, took wonderful care of our home, and communicated thoughtfully throughout her stay. Most importantly, she treated our dogs like they were her own. We would welcome Christine back without hesitation and hope to have her spend time with Kato again in the future. Anyone considering booking with her should feel completely confident doing so. Thank you, Christine, for your kindness, professionalism, and for showing so much love to our boys.”
“Melissa took amazing care of our dogs for the long weekend. She sent pictures and when we returned the dogs were happy and the house was tidy so we couldn’t have been happier!”
“Lindsey house sat and took care of our 3 very active pitbulls, 3 cats and even some of our reptiles. Communication was constant, pictures of all our pets three times a day, everyday, adressed any concerns promptly. Lindsey is thorough, polite and responsive. Our dogs had the time of thier life while she stayed with them. We have a difficult dog, she did great with Lindsey as she was patient and kind. Our cat who goes days under the bed came out to see her, we were stunned. We never worried about a thing and could enjoy our time away. Our house was pristine when we came back home. If you need a sitter, Lindsey is our recommendation. We are so pleased.”
“Jean was very communicative and sent great videos and photos of Kono. She also asks great questions to really understand Kono’s temperament, needs, likes and dislikes. So happy I booked with Jean.”
“Randi stayed at our house and watched our two dogs,cat and lizard for one week and she was excellent. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Some of our pets have some special needs. She took care of everyone really well. She left the house looking exactly as it did when we left. All in all it was an enjoyable experience and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our house and pets.”
About: I've owned/fostered/rescued animals my whole life, and I'm an avid animal lover. I run a rescue program with my friend and community members, and am very skilled with medical monitoring and behavior reading. I have experience working with special needs and elderly animals. I've administered oral medication and eye drops, changed doggy diapers, and bottle fed babies. I also have experience working with aggressive and territorial animals, I maintain a gentle and patient energy and work hard to create a secure relationship with each pet. I don't mind cleaning, I love super active animals, and I'm confident and reliable in caretaking. I work independently as an artist and curator, so I make my own schedule, so I always have plenty of time for your fur baby. I am unable to watch pets at my own place, as I am constantly fostering and have my own cats. I've been a trusted house/pet/baby sitter for 10 years, and will take great care of your space.
“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!”
“Brandi stayed with our two dogs for a week. She did a wonderful job. She kept us informed everyday and sent lots of videos and pics of our dogs. She was very flexible and supportive during a crazy time… our house was being renovated and we were in the middle of a move. Our return flights were delayed and Brandi worked with to assure our dogs were going to be cared for even if our flight was canceled. Brandi is a Star!”
“Khelsi is truly the best. I was extremely nervous leaving my little man with someone new. My previous sitter, who was not Rover-related, was not the best fit. Khelsi came to the rescue. She's extremely professional, attentive, and caring. I travel for work and am over the moon to have found her. 10/5 stars.”
“Nothing but great things to say about Lauri and her taking such good care of our dogs. She was very punctual, shared pictures and updates throughout her visit, and our pups seemed very happy when we returned home! We would highly recommend her!”
“Allie was responsive and sent messages about Piper and Miffles every day of our trip. She accommodated my pup's temporary stomach issues and got her back on track with regular diet without additional guidance and sending plenty of updates. Our home was left just as clean as it was when we left. Would book again! Thanks, Allie!”
“Kateri (Rebekah) was amazing! We will definitely have her back! She took excellent care of our goldendoodle, sent pictures/updates every day, and went above and beyond to take care of our house while we were gone. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!”
“Thank you, Maddy! It’s nice to have someone to count on to be able to enjoy an evening out/away and to know Jake is being cared for the way he needs. We appreciate you!!”
“Olivia was our first experience with Rover and having anyone watch our dog outside of our family. She made us feel comfortable the entire time and was great about sending at least a couple of updates everyday. Our dog ended up having unexpected stomach issues and Olivia handled it with ease even monitoring her and waking up with her in the middle of the night. She left the house cleaner than when we left. We cannot recommend Olivia enough!”
“Adam was fantastic! He lavished our dogs with attention and lovin's just as we hoped he would. They quickly took to him and were comfortable enough to nap on him. The house was just as clean as we left it so that was nice to come home to. Would recommend to anyone ?”
“Hanan took great care of Oreo while we were gone and she is the first overnight stay Rover that actually listens to us and takes advantage of the stay and treats it like a staycation which we encourage. We came home to a happy kitty!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eastpointe
Genevieve stayed in our home with our dog and cat while we were away for a long weekend and she was wonderful! We came home to happy pets and a tidy home, loved her great communication, and were so thankful for her patience with our fearful greyhound. We hope she can come again!
Doreen went above and beyond while house sitting for my two dogs and cat. She responded quickly to my initial inquiry and set up a meet and greet. My dogs were immediately comfortable with Doreen. She went out of her way to get our mail and take out the trash during her stay. She provided frequent updates and left the house in the same condition it was left in. I will definitely rebook for our next trip! Thanks so much Doreen!
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!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Eastpointe on Rover is $41.73 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,931 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
