“This was the first time I chose Jean to watch Winston and I am so glad I found her on the Rover app. She was wonderful!! Sent my pictures and videos of them on walks, playing and resting :). It reassured me that Winston was in very good hands and was happy. Jean is responsible, responsive, loving to my pet, and respectful of my home. I would highly recommend.”
“Nicole is the absolute best! She has been so patient with my anxious dog Louis, and he has so much fun hanging out with her. She follows my instructions to a T, spends time doing enrichment activities, and sends detailed updates during her stay. She happily agreed to stay longer than planned when my flight home got delayed. You won’t regret booking with her!”
“Khelsi was fantastic watching our Cat! We had no issues and felt reassured that she was watching her. She was super responsive, and sent many update pics. We had such a great experience and we would definitely have her watch Phoebe again, and recommend her services! Thank you Khelsi!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Cheryl is wonderful and very kind. Our dog Bella takes time to warm up to people and she didn’t have a problem warming up to Cheryl and snuggling on the couch with her. I already have her booked to house sit for us before the end of the year. Thank you for your care of our pack, Cheryl!”
“Lauri was amazing. She was wonderful with my dogs, including my senior who has health issues and takes medications. She gave me frequent, comprehensive updates, and sent plenty of much-appreciated photos of my fur babies (and even of my aquarium and flowers). She took excellent care of the household generally, followed all my instructions/requests, and was very professional and communicative. The dogs were lucky to have her. I'll call on her again in a heartbeat!”
“This week will be our dog's last-ever walk with Hanan, and we could not be more sad. Hanan was the one person who could take leadership with our dog via gentleness and respect for our dog's boundaries. She is very knowledgeable about pets, and not simply from a behavioral standpoint, but also their overall health. Our dog was not comfortable with new people, and she not only ended up trusting Hanan but also looked forward to seeing her. During her time with is, our dog started developing weakness in her hips, and Hanan was super patient and helpful with our dog. One thing of note: we live modestly, and dog sitting is a real expense for us. We have had other sitters literally turn up their noses at our humble home in a working class neighborhood, and we were glad to look elsewhere. Not Hanan. We have always felt respected, and she took great care of our home as if it was hers. Hanan is intensely reliable and just a joy to deal wirh on a person-to-person level. Great communication, regular updates and solid problem solving. I hope we can count on her to sit periodically, even if she can't do regular walks anymore. Thanks for everything, Hanan!”
“Christine is so good with our dogs. They both have anxiety with storms and fireworks and she makes sure she gives them extra attention and meds if needed. They just love her!”
“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. ❤️”
“Casie was a wonderful dog sitter for the weekend I traveled to Chicago! I was very nervous to leave my puppy alone for the first time; especially after his surgery. However, Casie did a wonderful job taking care of both my dog’s health and ease my mind by sending lots of updates. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Miranda was absolutely INCREDIBLE! My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after our two cats and our home while we were away! She gave our cats sooooo much love and attention and was amazing at being creative to administer meds to our stubborn boy. Miranda sent us daily pictures and videos and was even great about following our kitchen safety protocol for our gluten free home (wife has celiac & I’m newly gluten intolerant). Miranda was especially great with our temperamental girl kitty, and also left our home cleaner than it was before we left it! I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Miranda ❤️ We know exactly who to book for our next vacation. Thank you so much, Miranda! ?”
“This is like maybe the 5th time we’ve hired Brianna for house and pet sitting and she continues to be the best. Highly communicative, sends lots of pictures and updates daily, and is very attuned to my animals and their needs. Will continue to have Brianna again and again!”
“This week, we had our first home sitting with our dog, Bailey. Bonnie is certainly knowledgeable, and our senior dog has been thoroughly cared for. We are very satisfied. We will definitely continue to rely on Bonnie.”
“Melissa was great! She arrives on time and provides great communication and lots of pics and videos while babysitting. She’s very friendly and I felt my puppy was in very safe hands. I will definitely her again, and I highly recommend her.”
“Jeannette took care of my dog Ellie very well. When I came home Ellie was in a very good mood. Jeannette kept me informed of how Ellie was doing every day. I’m going to continue to book Jeanette in the future.”
“Kateri (Rebekah) was amazing to work with! She was on time, did regular check-ins and left our home as she found it. I would definitely use her again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody looking for a reliable excellent pet sitter!”
“Brandi took excellent care of my pup and the house. She is very sweet and communicates well. She was prompt, sent photos and brief recaps, and the house barely had a trace of her being there. Highly recommend!”
“Allie was responsive and sent messages about Piper and Miffles every day of our trip. She accommodated my pup's temporary stomach issues and got her back on track with regular diet without additional guidance and sending plenty of updates. Our home was left just as clean as it was when we left. Would book again! Thanks, Allie!”

Khelsi was fantastic watching our Cat! We had no issues and felt reassured that she was watching her. She was super responsive, and sent many update pics. We had such a great experience and we would definitely have her watch Phoebe again, and recommend her services! Thank you Khelsi!
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Grosse Pointe Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grosse Pointe Park on Rover is $55.5 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 1,832 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grosse Pointe Park. 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 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 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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
