Chelsy was very communicative, was able to accommodate a extra night last minute and I had no worries while I was gone. I have 3 dogs, ages 7-14, with varying health issues and meds, Chelsy took care that all my instructions were followed. She had a extra challenge with it being NYE and one of my boys being terrified of loud noises (fireworks, storms, etc). Highly recommend and will use again!!!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for pets of all ages—from energetic puppies who need structure and training to senior pets who need a gentler, more attentive approach. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs, so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m also reliable, clean, and always make communication a priority. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits into my daily routine, because of that fact that i have a cat of my own right now. I have had numerous amounts of cats and dogs all my life, so i’ve never been without having to care for an animal everyday of my life. I treat every pet like family, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I stick closely to their routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medication—and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they get the attention and care they deserve. My space is pet-safe and cozy, and when I’m in your home, I always respect it like it’s my own. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Sierra did a great job. She did leave the cat poop in a grocery bag for a few days so when we came in the house didnt smell great. Otherwise she kept me in the loop every day, took pictures & sent & kept the house clean. I will most definitely use her again.

We could not have been happier with our experience with Samantha! Since we were going away for a long trip out of the country we were a little nervous, of course, but those nerves disappeared right away because of the communication and updates we received. I’m pretty sure our pets were spoiled rotten! Our dog even missed Samantha, and keeps going to “her room” to nap. Thank you so much.

About: I’ve fallen in love with ALL animals since I was a kid. Since then i’ve watched all sizes and breeds of dogs with all sorts of different personalities and has loved every single moment of it! I am currently unemployed and looking to start into the pet care business. I can sit and board at all times and any days as needed. If allowed I would absolutely love to take them to a local dog park to socialize with more dogs. I also have one friendly kitten and one senior pup!

Allison watched my dog, Jax, for 10 days while I was on a trip out the country. I was extremely nervous about leaving him for that long for the first time, but Allison was so amazing with him that I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying about if he was okay! She went above and beyond to make him (and me) feel comfortable. Jax is a pretty high anxiety dog and is quite large (75lb pitbull), but he seemed to be totally at ease with her. She left my house very clean and tended to my plants as well! 100% would recommend Allison to even the most anxious of pet parents like myself!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! Friends and family have trusted me with their animals when they‘ve gone out of town many times. I’m an Instructional Coach at a school in my district, so I won’t be home during the day unless it’s weekends or when I’m on break. During the summer though I’ll be home majority of the time. My sister lives with me and she has a dog, but they’re sweet and have their own room. I take care of pets by giving them food, water, and bathroom trips as often as needed. I also make sure to have play time with them, which is my favorite! I can make sure to give them any medicine or put them on a leash when going outside if that’s what you need.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I grew up with my sweet Shih Tzu Bella and recently rescued a 5 year old rat terrior, Biscuit. I am very familiar with the joy, energy, and companionship dogs bring into our lives! I have years of experience loving and caring for dogs as part of my everyday life. I am dependable, gentle, and excited to provide your furry friend with walks, playtime, cuddles, and the care they deserve while you are away. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I am more than happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable care whenever you need it most! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my TOP priorities. I believe pets deserve to feel loved and secure while their humans are away, so l treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, lil take the time to understand their routine, personality, and unique needs. I'll provide a calm, safe environment filled with plenty of affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I know leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and genuine care every step of the way. Requested information about your pet Before caring for your pet, l'a love to know all the little details that make them unique! Their daily routine, personality, favorite activities, comfort items, feeding schedule, medication needs (if applicable), and any quirks or preferences are all important to me. I would also love to know how they interact with new people, other pets, and their environment so I can help them feel safe and comfortable. Every pet has their own personality, and my goal is to provide care that feels familiar, consistent, and tailored specifically to them. I’m available after school hours and on weekends. As a teacher, my schedule is consistent, allowing me to provide reliable care before and after work, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I make time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention.

About: I have worked at a part-time doggy daycare and boarding facility for over a year now, gaining tons of experience with all kinds of different pups- low energy/high energy- super outgoing/anxious and much more since every fur baby is different from the next. I have taken many animal related college courses that have helped me gain much knowledge about dogs which is just as important as the hands on experience. I also have shadowed veterinarians at animal hospital clinics that’s going towards my vet assistant certification. And last but not least I have had pups of my own, 2 great danes growing up and now my own shelter pup😊. She’s my best friend/daughter/favorite person, I take pride that I take care of every pup the same way I’d want someone taking care of mine. I’m currently working part time but I am available before 12 pm on Sunday's, after 1 pm Monday through Wednesday and completely free Thursday through Saturday. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide a clean, safe environment and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. With my hands-on experience working with dogs, animal care education, and veterinary shadowing experience, I am prepared to provide attentive and responsible care for pets of all ages. I have an extremely pet friendly female dog that can keep your pup entertained if needed. If not no worries, she is kennel trained and does doggie daycare at my job.

David was our first house sitter and he did a great job walking with us through getting started. He was thorough in preparing for the sit, asking us questions and listening to answers, and thinking of things we didn’t. He communicated well throughout the sit. After the sit, our pets were calm and relaxed. It made a huge difference being able to leave them in their own environment with someone who really cared about them. We will definitely call on David again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Grosse Tete

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 330 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grosse Tete. 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 Tete 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 Tete 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 Tete 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 Tete. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
