“Cody was an amazing sitter for our two dogs. He sent tons of updates and pictures and we came home to two very happy and healthy boys! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Cody again when we travel.”
“Jamie took great care of our dog! Our 6 mo old puppy had just been spayed and was coming off a week and a half of very little activity so was pretty crazy but Jamie took it all in stride. She was personable, communicated well, texted updates, and even sent pictures! It was clear that she enjoys dogs - even our overly excited one. We look forward to hiring her again.”
“Tommi is great with my dog Bo. He's a pretty big dog and is getting up there in age. When I come home he is always happy and well cared for! She sends me updates with pics, which I always appreciate. 100% will book with her again!”
“Isabella was very sweet, responsive, and great with my dog and cat. She house sat for two nights and everything went great. We were happy with her services and will book her again!”
“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!! 💙”
“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!”
“Bridget was awesome. She arrived exactly when she was supposed to. I left her a note with instructions. She texted me when she arrived. She sent me pictures of my ding dong. She was even able to stay later, then asked because I could not make it home in time. I came home not only to find a happy dog but a clean house and a beautiful sketch of my dog's face on the countertop. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I've grown up with various dogs my whole life. I currently own a husky and a corgi. I know how to use an E-collar and a prong collar. I love long walks from a mile to 4 miles or more. I'll even run with your dog if you like. Not a fan of dog parks? That's okay, I'm liery of them too. I'm patient and okay with cleaning up messes. I'm currently unemployed. I just got married and my husband and I would like to start a family. Walking pregnant will keep me in shape and keep busy as well as out of the house. My husband works from home. This is meant to be a stable side job. Not looking to make a profit just some side cash flow. Regular potty breaks and walks daily. Lots of cuddles and brushing if they let me. Games of fetch if that's their thing. Monitor their wrestling time so they don't get too carried away.
About: I treat every pet like family, giving them personalized care, patience, and plenty of love. I’m attentive to their needs and always put their comfort first. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks, visits, and plenty of attention to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home, following your instructions and treating every pet with care.
About: I’ve cared for all different types of animals for over 10 years. My fiancé, Alex, has had two dogs of his own and is currently studying animal science while working at a veterinary clinic. Between the two of us, your pets will be in experienced, loving hands and treated like our own. Alex and I are both students, so our schedules can vary throughout the week. However, between the two of us, we have time to stop in throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. Surprisingly, our weekends are usually the least busy, giving us even more flexibility. I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Before caring for them, I like to meet the owner and pet, learn their routine, and understand the home’s layout. From feeding times to walks, playtime, and anything else they’re used to, I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease.
“Tony was amazing. He is kind and took great care of our fur babies. They took to him right away during our meet and greet. I highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with him.”
“April was amazing to have in our home with our fur babies. She gave them so much love and attention and treated them like her own. Very professional and communicated well with us the entire time with pictures and videos. Highly recommended!”
About: I am and aspiring vet med student and have experience working in 2 veterinaries and an animal shelter. I also worked with more exotic pets in a pet store and during my high school years at a zoo. I have had dogs and cats my whole life and currently I own a dog and 2 cats. I love all kinds of animals and would love to spend time with your sweet babies I do have a part time job currently, as well as being a student so it is very important that you schedule with me as soon as possible so that i can make time in my schedule for you and you pets! I am very gentle and cuddly and love to snuggle with all kinds of fur babies! I also have done tons of personal research and have written multiple papers on propper care for cats and dogs, as well as other various types of animals!
“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.”
“Makayla house sat and watched our three fur babies for us this past week while we were in NYC. The communication and professionalism were great ! Our dogs were well taken care of, as well as our home. She made it a point that our dogs were a priority and it definitely gave us the security we were looking for. We look forward to using Makayla again in the future for sits or drop ins ❤️”

The average cost of House Sitting in Eaton Rapids is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $67 per night.

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 Eaton Rapids 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 Eaton Rapids 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 Eaton Rapids 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.
