“lauri helped us out recently with housesitting and watching our two cats - one of whom required medication twice daily and some other specifications throughout the day. lauri was great with caring for both him and his brother, giving them everything they needed and making sure that they were happy and healthy while we were away. she sent photos and detailed updates and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was looking after them. we came home to happy cats and a well taken care of house - i would highly recommend lauri and will be booking with her again!”
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.

I do take macomb community college classes a few times a week but I am very flexible with my schedules. My dog Oliver is spoiled and gets love everyday. Just like Every dog in this world should get so much love and attention with the right dog lovers
“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!”
“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: I love taking care of all types of dogs! PT student who is very flexible! Let me know if there is anything specific you would like! I enjoy coming home from work and being able to walk and care for dogs! I’m very active so it fits my routine/lifestyle well! Let me know how I can help them best! I make sure to keep pets in their comfort zone and listen closely to the owner’s wishes. It’s an awesome part of my routine and I love every dog I come across!
“Chris was 10/10. He was always sending us photos/videos. Keeping us up to date which we loved. Followed our instructions perfectly…even kept our house clean and tidy which we didn’t ask him to do. We will definitely use Chris again in the future! Thanks Chris!”
“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 😊”
“Kayla was an outstanding house sitter while I was out of town. She took great care of my animals and sent regular pictures and updates to keep me informed. She left my space clean and organized and I couldn’t even tell anyone else was there when I got home! Book with Kayla with confidence she will take great care of your pets and is incredibly respectful of your space.”
“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.”
“Superb sitter that provides excellent communication and updates throughout the stay. We received many pictures throughout the day. During our first meeting we felt more than comfortable leaving our sweet girl to her care. Ashley is the best sitter we have ever used. We will be planning our vacations around Ashley’s availability as we will never use anyone else. ❤️”
About: I’ve cared for plenty dogs and cats over the years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with feeding, walks, playtime, distributing medication, potty breaks, and check-ins. I even have my own love baby . I’m very patient, attentive, dependable. I only accept bookings on days when I’m completely available, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I plan my schedule around each booking so your pet receives consistent care, companionship, playtime, and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and treat your home with the same and or even better respect I would my own. I’ll also provide updates and pictures so you can feel confident while you’re away.
“Oh my gosh - Sam rules! The first time they met my dog, Nigel, I could tell it would be a great fit. At that time, I had never booked a sitter for him before. Nigel is a bit of a grumpy man and is snappy with new people. Sam toughed it out and had Nigel snuggling in their lap in no time! Sam is calm, patient, and attentive...and flexible - they were fine with looking after my cat, Zeke, even though I couldn't figure out how to add a cat to my profile at that time. I felt very assured with Sam's updates and photos, and they took good care of my home while I was away. When Sam came to drop off the key at the end of our booking, Nigel ran past me and straight to them even though I'd been gone for 4 days! What a little traitor. But I still love him. And I appreciate Sam and look forward to booking them again soon! Thank you, Sam!”
“Emily was great with my 2 dogs while I was away for business travel. She stayed at my house to provide care and was very good about communicating updates in the form of photos, videos, and texting! I can tell she feels comfortable and confident working with dogs of various sizes and personalities! Emily seemed to truly care about and enjoy spending time with my fur babies. They got lots of walks, playtime and cuddles! Emily was respectful of my home and followed all care instructions that I provided. She did have several personal obligations where she needed to leave for a short bit, but let me know when she needed to be gone. I felt good about knowing that Emily was there while I could not be home. I would recommend her services to other pet parents!”

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.
