“Randi took amazing care of our two senior dogs! We felt very confident they were in great hands while we were traveling. So thankful for the attention to detail, constant communication, and photo updates! Randi was also flexible when our travel plans changed due to delays which was very helpful.”
“Hanan was excellent! She took such good care of our dog and the house and she sent us tons of updates. We definitely will be booking with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who can handle reactivity/separation anxiety. So happy we found her!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13, growing up with family pets and gaining hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I truly love animals and understand how important it is for your pets to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to their individual needs and enjoy learning about different ways to support their development, socialization, and overall well-being. Whether you need a trusted dog walker, sitter, or overnight stay for your fur babies, I’d love the opportunity to help give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and care I’d want for my own. If you have any questions about me or my experience, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to get to know you and your pets! I'm currently attending community college and have a super flexible schedule. Please reach out to me with any scheduling questions, I'm sure we can figure something out! I will make sure that your pet gets lots of extra love while you are away, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, and anything else that you typically would do.
“Peyton watched our 3 Bassett hounds for us at our campground while we were vacationing in Ponchatoula. She was so patient with them. Our Dixie who is a real handful warmed up to her right away. I'm thankful for Peyton I couldn't stand the thought of them being in a kennel. Will definitely recommend to anyone”
“JJ was fantastic. She housesat my cat and dog, who were clearly extremely happy with her. She sent regular updates and left the house even cleaner than she found it. Would not hesitate to book again.”

“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.”
“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.

Book with Kayla with confidence she will take great care of your pets and is incredibly respectful of your space.”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. At just 10 years old, I started my own neighborhood dog-washing service because I genuinely enjoyed caring for them. Today, I share my life with my senior dog, Buddy, who has a calm temperament and gets along well with other dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, whether they’re playful puppies or relaxed seniors, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

I provide a clean, loving, and supervised environment and will send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own family.
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.
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!
“Karley is an awesome dog sitter. She watched our dogs for two weeks while we were traveling. She stayed at our home, cuddled with the dogs, and made sure they were safe and in their routine. We will definitely keep asking her to care for our pups!”
“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!”

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!

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 Park 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 Park 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 Park 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.
