“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!”
About: I grew up with dogs and found a love for them at an early age. I always had labrador retrievers but love all dogs. I have been dog walking since middle school and now I am currently a rising junior at Wayne State University and love all pets but love dogs specifically:) I have been dogsitting consistently for family and friends over the years and love taking care of all pets:) I am currently a student at Wayne State University and my days are pretty open and have lots of time to take care of your pets:) I do not have a fenced yard, but am very comfortable taking any dogs out on a leash and am comfortable having your pup sleep with me or can have them in a crate.
“Randi took great care of Ruxin. She took the time to do a meet and greet before my trip. I love all the pictures she takes so I could rest easy knowing Ruxin was well taken care of.”
“Theresa and Adrian are amazing dog sitters. They took such great care of my one year old French bulldog, Maximus. He just loved both of them! They are truly such lovely people. I would highly recommend their dog sitting services. ❤️”
“I would highly recommend Kristina! She is knowledgeable about dogs & extremely accommodating as a sitter for our newly adopted rescue with separation anxiety. She was willing to stay with him for a few hours while we peacefully enjoyed a friends housewarming, providing us plenty of pictures & updates!”
About: I have been professionally trusted by pet parents for over 5 years to provide exceptional care for most animals ranging from reptiles, fish, and avians to large mammals and livestock. I carry skills ranging from basic check ins and feeding to administering all types of medication and therapies. I have worked as an equine trainer, now choosing to make domestic animal care my full time job. I own two horses, a large breed dog, and two cats. My animals are my entire world and providing mine & all other’s with the best care is absolutely my passion in life. Animal care is currently my full time job, so I devote whatever time your animal requires. I have a very flexible schedule outside of work that allows this. I provide knowledge in animal body language to ensure that your pet is comfortable and understood in their home and cater to whatever their individual needs are
“We cannot say enough about Josh. He is AMAZING 🤩 He loves our dogs like his own and is very reliable and respectful. Definitely will be booking him again for our pets needs.”
“Can’t say enough great things about Nicole! She takes such good care of my senior pup. It’s never easy leaving a 16 year old dog, but Nicole puts me at ease with her reliability and frequent communication.”
“I've been avoiding using services like Rover because I simply didn't trust anyone with my dog or to stay in my home who I didn't know very well but when push came to shove I had to find someone in order to free myself up for a work opportunity. As a result of taking taking this leap I found Michael, who during our first meet and greet, put all my concerns to rest. Right away he showed so much love to my baby Skittles that I didn't even pine over her while I was away, which was incredible to me. We went over the final details on the day of my departure. We went back and forth a few times each day with notes and pics. When I arrived home Skittles went berserk and we loved each other up! The house was just as I had left it. I won't hesitate to contact Michael again. I highly recommend him.”
“Sam was very proactive in taking care of our pups and house while we were away. He was also tremendously patient with our one dog who takes a good bit of time to warm up to new people. He lect the house tidy and from the pictures it was clear the dogs enjoyed their time with him! We are recommending him to our friends! Thanks again 😊”
About: I am a dog lover who currently owns 3 dogs, a terrier mix, a standard poodle, and a Doberman. My husband and I love animals and have grown up around different types of pets, which is why dog sitting is a perfect fit for me. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. I acquired my love for animals from my father. Since before I was born, he has always owned a dog. The first dog I remember having was a Husky named Brandon. We named him Brandon because of the dog on "Punky Brewster" and I must have been only around 4 years old! My experience administering medication I have experience administering medication to my own pets and others pets as well. I’m a stay at home mom, which means I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup(s). We love playing outdoors and our dogs are like family to us! I have a dog run (working on fencing our large yard) and three dogs of my own. We have room to crate train if needed, and keep kids and dogs separate should your pup not be kid friendly.
“So many good things to say! We have two dogs and have had Ashley dog sit and do daily visits. She has done great at both and we will continue to use her. She kept us up to date while we were away and took good care of our guys.”
“Allie was so wonderful and made being away from the pups so much easier! She sent updates and pictures daily of how they were doing. Coming home they were so relaxed and calm, like we were never gone! Definitely will be utilizing her in the future!”
About: Pets have been a big part of my entire life, we have always had one in the family home. I currently have two cats of my own, Sebastian and Penelope. The love of a pet is something that is truly irreplaceable. I am that person at a party that makes friends with the pets first, and I would love the opportunity to spend time and play with your pet and show them the attention and care they deserve. Please feel free to message me with questions or inquiries about a future stay, drop in, or walk. Please have an ideal meeting day and time for a Meet & Greet in the case of a requested stay. *I need to meet the pet (and their human) before agreeing to a stay of any length.* I work from home most weekdays and have most weekend free, looking forward to working out a schedule with you!
“Jordyn took great care of our cats! She is super sweet and dependable. She went above and beyond during her stay with us- even during a three day power outage in the middle of summer.”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and have grown up around a large variety. I’ve pet sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors over the years off and on. I work from home during the week and come a go a bit on weekends. I wouldn’t ever be gone more than 8 hours for any animal. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. I’m very attentive to pets in my home and make sure that they are in safe environments with everything they need. I am very respectful in other people’s homes and make sure the pets are well taken care of. If boarding at my home, I did just get two roommates who live upstairs and one of them has a cat who is friendly with dogs. There is a door to separate the upstairs as well.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Grosse Pointe is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grosse Pointe
Peyton did a fantastic job with my dog Harry. She was easy to reach before my trip. She met Harry ahead of time and learned the apartment and his schedule. While I was gone she sent me several photos every day and kept me updated. She was also very respectful of my home. Harry’s a rescue with some quirks, and he can cling to people. Peyton was loving with him and kept him close. She also got him out like I’d asked. She took him to play with other dogs because she knew what was safe for him and what wasn’t. She did everything we agreed to. It was my first time leaving him with a sitter. I’d hire her again any time I leave town, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.
Yes! You want Cheryl to care for your kitty fur babies. Senior kitty needs to be fed small amounts of canned pate throughout each day. My kitties loved Cheryl right away (even the one that hides under the couch). Cheryl was always on time for feedings, cleaned the litter, took photos for me, and sent updates regularly. Reliable, knowledgeable, and caring describe Cheryl. Thank you Cheryl! Book her services today!
From the moment Caelan showed up and interacted with my dog, I knew I had chosen well. Marvin is a rescue pit mix with severe separation anxiety, so not everyone's cup of tea, but I could tell from her easy, confident body language that they would get along just fine. Caelan was very understanding and accommodating despite me booking last minute. If her schedule allows, I will definitely book with her again!
Brit was an absolute gem of a dog sitter while caring for our sweet Maybelle. From the moment she stepped in, it was clear that she approaches her work with remarkable thoughtfulness and heart. She didn’t just “watch” Maybelle — she truly cared for her, paying close attention to her routines, her little quirks, and all the small details that make her who she is. Brit kept us updated and gave us such peace of mind, which is priceless when you’re away from your beloved pet. It felt like Maybelle wasn’t simply being looked after — she was being genuinely cherished. And as if that weren’t enough, we returned home to a house that was beautifully tidied and welcoming. There’s something so comforting about walking back into a calm, cared-for space after time away, and Brit made that happen effortlessly. We’re beyond happy with her care and can’t recommend her enough. She treats both pets and homes with the same warmth and respect as if they were her very own — and that makes all the difference.
Kylie is by far the BEST pet sitter we have ever had! She loved our fur babies as her own and truly went above and beyond. She communicated with us regularly, was very easy to reach and a dream to book with. Our pets loved her and seemed so relaxed to be with her. She also took wonderful care of our home! We would highly recommend booking with Kylie!

The average cost of House Sitting in Grosse Pointe is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $110 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 Grosse Pointe 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 Pointe 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 Pointe 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.
