“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. 🙏”
“Brandi was awesome! She came and stayed with our 4 month old pup at our house for 6 hours while we attended a wedding. Took him on plenty of walks and was a pleasure to have in our home. Will book again for pet sitting!”
“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: 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.
“I sincerely cannot recommend Meghan highly enough! Don't hesitate to book with her if she is available. Meghan stayed with my puppy Farley for 3 nights while I was out of town with family and truly made it the easiest and most reassuring experience I could ask for as a first-time pet parent. She handled Farley's routine effortlessly, providing regular updates and the sweetest pictures to let me know he was being well taken care of at all times. Her communication and professionalism from the moment I booked to the moment she left at the end of her stay was more than I could've ever expected. 12/10 experience, will absolutely book again if both of our schedules permit :)”
“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!”
About: I am a licensed veterinary technician and have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications. I've done pet sitting for my grandma's cat and dog in the past. I'll do free meet and greets with owners and their pets no problem. I'm willing to give baths and clean litter boxes as well. I currently work full time. I have a predictable schedule of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of 9-5. I have a one hour lunch break between 11:30 and 12:40 where I can do drop in visits to feed, spend time with and give your pets bathroom breaks. I can walk dogs before and after work as well as drop in visits. I am willing to do house sitting with coming home during lunch to give bathroom breaks and feeding. I have three cats named Winston, Luna and Loki who each get canned cat food in the morning before work and they free feed dry food throughout the day. I have a 10 year old shih tzu named Harry who also gets wet food mixed with dry food for breakfast as well as dinner in the late afternoon. He gets let out every couple of hours to go to the bathroom and loves going walks, but I can only take him for short walks due to one of his knees having arthritis. I'm willing to clean client's cat's litter boxes as well as bath dogs as well as take out the trash and do laundry.
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!

Although pets aren't allowed in my home, I will gladly take care of them in their own environment, while maintaining cleanliness and respect for your home.
“Randi stayed at our house and watched our two dogs,cat and lizard for one week and she was excellent. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. Some of our pets have some special needs. She took care of everyone really well. She left the house looking exactly as it did when we left. All in all it was an enjoyable experience and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our house and pets.”
“Nicole did an amazing job with our puppy. She was super responsive and was totally comfortable with tons of instructions for a new pup. She was on time, and sent awesome picture updates. Looking forward to working with Nicole again.”
“Theresa and Adrian did a great job watching Laika. They communicated expectations clearly ahead of time and sent updates throughout the stay. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was well taken care of.”

“Allie was AMAZING!!!! She took great care of our three big dogs, and also kept the house safe, clean and tidy! Way beyond expectations! She also helped us out in a pinch without a huge amount of notice for a quite long time being away (2weeks plus) … the dogs loved her instantly ~ even Bigsby did not give her his usual side eye that he does with “new” friends. We will definitely ask Allie to stay with us again and we hope she will!!!🥰🐾”
“Tess is great! My two dogs clearly were loved by the look from all the pictures she sent me. The house is as clean as I left it and she communicated the whole time I was gone. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Taylor was a wonderful pet sitter. Took great care of my anxious dog and cat, staying overnight at our house for most of a week. Followed instructions to a T with my dog’s medication and needs for going outside. Left the house clean and in great shape. Would have her back anytime we need pet sitting.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grosse Pointe Woods
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!
Peyton was fantastic with our 3 senior pups while we were away for our long weekend trip! She was responsive and went above and beyond, and we appreciated the updates on how everything was going. Our dogs have some extensive med lists so it was reassuring to have her in home sitting and handling everything since our dogs aren't able to do a boarding situation. Will definitely be rebooking in the future when we need a sitter again!
Genevieve stayed in our home with our dog and cat while we were away for a long weekend and she was wonderful! We came home to happy pets and a tidy home, loved her great communication, and were so thankful for her patience with our fearful greyhound. We hope she can come again!
Breanna sat for my 2 dogs while we were on vacation for 5 days. She stayed at our house and everything went great. She kept us updated with daily pictures, which was reassuring! I will definitely use her again and refer her to friends and family! Thank you Breanna!!
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!!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Grosse Pointe Woods is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Woods 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 Woods 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Woods 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.
