Brandi is so terrific with our three dogs even our one who scares a lot of people. We had some security concerns before we left on our trip and she handled them like a pro, ensuring our home and dogs were safe. Her flexibility is a huge plus when planning trips! Brandi will definitely be our first call the next time we take a trip without the doggos!

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 always feel lucky when Steve and Linda are available to watch Kona and Maui. Top notch communication during the visit and manage any challenges that arise while here (pup with upset stomach, power outage, etc) with thoughtfulness and ease. I always know I’ll come home to a clean house and happy dogs. Just wish we lived closer so they could stay more often. Thank you. 🙏

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!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for years now for neighbors, family members, and friends. I love animals and am looking forward to meeting and taking care of more! I’m available to sit on weekends and before and after my 9-5 during the week. I’m willing to visit your dog or cat before and after work or throughout the day on weekends and keep them company or walk them! I am willing to walk your pets, feed them, play with them, and whatever else you need when at your home. I do not have any pets of my own currently and a fenced in yard at my home.

About: I started working in animal rescue work in 2018, and have roughly 7 years of dog handling experience. I’m an apprentice dog trainer for Barky Mark’s Dog Training, and have worked at local businesses such as Barkside Detroit, Doggie in the Window, Friends for Animals Metro Detroit and Detroit Dog Rescue. I’m currently doing Rover full time, and am available throughout most of my week with the exception of Thursday evenings. I occasionally will take evenings off for my apprenticeship or other obligations. I focus on building a trusting, loving relationship with all my client’s pets. Using the provided schedule and itinerary by an owner, I help dogs gain confidence with me and work on socialization skills, while still keeping them comfortable in their routine.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to both pets and their routines. I don’t just watch your animals—I learn their habits, personalities, and preferences to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience administering oral and topical medications, working with senior pets, and I’m especially thorough when it comes to cleanliness (yes, I genuinely don’t mind deep-cleaning litter boxes!). My goal is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pets are not just looked after, but genuinely cared for like family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday walks, or evening playtime, I genuinely enjoy building my day around their needs. I also set aside time for updates to owners, cleaning, and any special care instructions like administering meds or sticking to feeding routines. Caring for animals isn’t just a side task—it’s something I truly prioritize and enjoy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that mirrors their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of supervision, playtime, and quiet areas for rest. I follow all feeding, exercise, and medication schedules just as you would. In a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I keep things tidy, stick to your pet’s daily habits, and make sure they’re not just fed and walked—but also mentally stimulated and comforted in your absence. I always keep communication open with regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: I got my first pets at 21, two mice named Luna and Lena. Since then I've had many more pets including more mice, rats, dogs, and a cat. I have had my dogs for about 7 years. My baby girl Remy, is a wild ball of energy, even at 9. My darling boy Leonard, is a very slow gentle giant who moves like a sloth, so I have experience with dogs across the energy spectrum! My fluffy baby Bean is my first cat. I have learned a lot from him over the last 4 years that Ive had him. He is a cuddly kitty who shows love through playful violence. I say this to explain that I am so used to being torn up a bit by my pets. I understand that pets do not know their strength or sharpness and I will give them the grace needed! My pets are the center of my life. I wake up and immediately refill food and waters and let my dogs outside. While they do their business, I cuddle Bean, my cat. Sadly, after I let my dogs in I have to head out to work. When I get home from work, I always run to get kisses from my dogs. Then I do the same as the morning, check food and water and let them outside. Because my cat and one of my dogs dont get along, I often have to split my time between them but I make sure everyone gets all their cuddles and love. I also dedicate at least 10 minutes twice a day, playing with each of them. I am unable to host others pets at my house as we are full up, but I always treat others homes and pets with the utmost respect. I try my best not to touch anthing that isn't needed and leave the home looking the same or better than when I got there.

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 full time student in the fall, but I babysit a few days a week on but am home a lot/most of the time. 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.

Hannah was great!! Our first time using Rover, and everything went perfectly - she was friendly, responsible, and handled everything -- our home, a senior diabetic dog, and a 4 month old puppy wonderfully. She sent periodic photos to ease our minds while we were away - Zero complaints and zero concerns. She's a pro and worth every penny. Thanks!!!

Sarah is wonderful. Our dogs love her. She is relaxed and goes out of her way to make our dogs happy in our absence. She was there everyday when she said she’d be and stayed with our dogs so they weren’t on their own longer than necessary. We definitely would love to use her again if she’s available. She’s the best! We came home to a clean house. Our dogs shed a lot! It was nice to walk into vacuumed floors. Sarah was excellent with communicating with us and sending pictures.

FAQs for House Sitting - Grosse Pointe Shores

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Grosse Pointe Shores on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,805 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grosse Pointe Shores. 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 Shores 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 Shores 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 Shores 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grosse Pointe Shores. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

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.
