“So thankful for Gabrielle watching our Mellie, I didn’t have to worry about her at all and knew she was well taken care of 😊 Gabrielle kept in contact and sent photos with updates during the time and I truly appreciated that!”
“First time I’ve used Rover and had a very pleasant experience. Sarah did a very good job with my dog and I would recommend to others. I would use again if I have the opportunity thanks.”
“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.”
“Gabrielle took great care of our dog and cat while she was house sitting for us. She sent lots of updates, which we appreciated for peace of mind. When we returned home, our house was in excellent condition- probably even cleaner than how we left it! Overall, a great experience having her house sit for us while we were gone.”
About: I’ve been a shelter volunteer for 5 years, working closely with the dogs most people struggle with the reactive ones, the jumpy ones, the bitey ones, the over-stimulated ones, and the dogs that need real structure and patience to thrive I’m used to reading body language fast and staying calm no matter what’s in front of me. Whether it’s leash pulling, overexcitement, reactivity, or lack of focus. Maybe your dog just needs more work on learning commands and learning obedience I can do that to! let me know what I can do to best help you and your dog I would love to help Pet care is already a major part of my daily and weekly routine. I have 8 birds at home and On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter 2–4 days a week, where I work hands on with a wide range of dogs especially high energy dogs and dogs that need extra structure and patience. That experience keeps me consistently involved in reading behavior, handling different temperaments, and staying calm in all situations. When I’m not at the shelter, I plan my schedule around Rover bookings like walks, drop-ins, and training. I make sure each visit has enough time and attention When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine that you provide so the pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends probably since I was 16. From my friends in Ohio, to those closer to home. People rely on me to be there. I’m empathic and ready to take care of your pet! I work from home so my schedule is a bit flexible. I have a vehicle in the city so that helps too! I look forward! I follow rules and directions very well. I have the most experience with an aging dog who’s 14 but also lived with a dog that really is more of a shadow! Willing to accommodate the needs of the dog within means.

“Izzy is the best! They made Miles feel very comfortable during his first day without us, and he was very happy and tired when we came home. They also sent many great pictures and gave frequent updates. We will 100% be asking Izzy to sit again soon!”
“Angela was great! The dogs seemed happy and well cared for. She sent pictures while we were gone and was responsive to texts. The dishwasher was ran and the towels were washed. The house looked great.”
“We reached out to Abby with a last minute request because our previous sitter fell through. We couldn’t have been happier! From the meet and greet, our dogs loved her. Abby reached out regularly with updates, great communication and took care of the house. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hey there! I’m Hannah - animal lover, and your pet’s next best friend. I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and truly believe life is better with fur and paws! I’ve raised puppies, cared for senior pets, and even looked after dogs who are blind or deaf — every animal is unique, and I love them all. Right now, I have two cats who keep me on my toes (and my lap), and I’ve had dogs of all sizes and personalities over the years. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy naps, or belly rubs on repeat, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, loved, and totally spoiled while you’re away! Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!

Creating a safe and fun environment while pet sitting is very important to me. I love being able to provide play time for cats or dogs while I am watching them. As well as cuddle time if they’re one that likes to curl up in your lap.

“Katherine was wonderful with our dog!!! We had previously boarded Fran but she was unhappy when we got home. When we got home after Katie watched her, she was her usual happy, outgoing self. Katie sent us pictures of Fran and bathed her before our return. The house and ALL of our many packages that had been delivered were stacked neatly next to our mail. It was so nice to know that everything was taken care of!!! We can’t recommend Katherine highly enough!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Grosse Ile
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grosse Ile on Rover is $53.5 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 1,904 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grosse Ile. 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 Grosse Ile 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 Grosse Ile 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 Grosse Ile 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.
