“Lukis took amazing care of my dog, Chance. She quickly learned how much of an interesting character he is. His high energy didn’t scare her and she embraced his weird. She was great with communication, sent tons of pics and obviously spent a lot of quality time with him. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“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.”
“We are so grateful to have found Hanan to care for our fur baby, Wallace. From the very start she was responsive, kind, and completely on top of everything. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos so we always felt connected, and it was obvious Wallace was happy and well cared for. What really impressed us was the extra thoughtfulness she put in, like providing great training tips, tidying up, and making sure everything was just as we left it. She even held off on running appliances since Wallace would be home alone, which says so much about her attention to detail and care. It’s clear she truly enjoyed spending time with Wallace, and he adored her right back. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home. We couldn’t have asked for better care and will absolutely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”
“My dog Isla loves when Maciyah comes to stay with her! She takes care to make Isla feel very loved and keeps her very busy. Definitely recommend Maciyah for any of your pet’s needs”
“Zaria was such a gift! She went above and beyond caring for our three cats—two of whom are on medication—with so much love and attentiveness. The house was spotless when we got home, and the cats were relaxed, happy, and somehow getting along even better than before we left. She’s kind, reliable, and just a joy to work with. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”
“Eleiette did an amazing job watching my dog. She was very on top of communication and give lots of sweet updates. My dog was very happy during the stay and when I came back.”
“As soon as Annie met Jean, she immediately loved her and I knew she was in good hands. Jean is very empathetic and understanding of the challenge in leaving your baby with someone else, but I knew everything was good with her. Jean was a great communicator, and I loved getting the updates. This is the most relaxed I think I have ever been leaving her so truly so grateful 💜💜”
“We have had Randi several times to stay at our house with our senior dog Ellie. Randi takes better care of Ellie than we do! She is very good at giving Ellie all of her different medications and taking her out for several walks during the day, she pays attention to exactly how Ellie is feeling and adjusts her care accordingly. She has great advice on healthy snacks for Ellie and non toxic skin care. She truly cares for our dog and we are grateful to know she is in good hands while we are away! Randi is also great with communication, even if I don’t always respond, she still sends me lots of pictures and updates so I know what’s going on. Thank you Randi!!!”
“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Lauren is a top tier dog sitter. She took more than excellent care of our giant Great Dane puppy, going above and beyond to satisfy his crazy energy. She also cleaned stains he made, cleaned his food bowl without us asking, and prepped some kongs for us before leaving. She gave us a million updates a day and so many cute photos and videos. She’s one of my go tos now for dog sitting!”
“We were so happy to have Erin watch our dogs again! She stayed at our house for a week and sent a lot of pics and updates. She even helped when our flight was delayed and went to check on the doggies later in the day. We will definitely be using her again! 💕”
About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and genuine love for animals of all temperaments. I have experience caring for both energetic dogs and sensitive cats, including shy or anxious pets. I pay close attention to each animal’s routine, body language, and comfort level, ensuring safe, stress-free walks and visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with reliability, consistency, and lots of affection. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine as I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to each pet’s needs. I am able to plan walks, feeding visits, and playtime consistently throughout the day, including mornings and afternoons. This allows me to give pets reliable attention, follow their routines closely, and provide calm, unhurried care without time pressure or distractions. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritize safety, trust, and respect for the environment at all times. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, ensuring pets remain secure, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I maintain a calm, attentive presence so animals feel safe and relaxed. I also respect the client’s home by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Building trust through reliability, clear communication, and responsible care is at the heart of everything I do.
“Bre was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of our expectations. She is extremely professional, kind, and one of the best communicators we’ve ever worked with. She sent daily updates and photos and always kept us informed about how both our dog and kitty were doing, which gave us total peace of mind during our trip. She house sat for us and took incredible care of our home by keeping it very clean, bringing in our mail, and even leaving us the sweetest welcome home candies. Our dog Nova absolutely loved her, and it was clear she felt safe, happy, and well cared for the entire time. Bre even brought her sweet pup Ivy over, which Nova loved having as a friend to play with. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Bre to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and thoughtful. We will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.”
“Khelsi was fantastic - highly communicative, prompt, and so warm and cuddly with the dogs. I also appreciated that she came through on short notice. We definitely hope to work with Khelsi again!”
“Allie was so wonderful with our pups and communicated very openly. She also cleaned up a bit before we got home which was above and beyond any expectation I would have for a sitter in our home. We’ve used her services twice in the last two months and can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! You just found your dog’s new favorite auntie◡̈ I’m currently a student and working from home and love dogs to my core. I have a 5 year old toy poodle named Mason. He’s so sweet & playful and he’s always looking for another puppy to play with. I have had experience with dogs my entire life, but in college I decided to get one of my own and I have no regrets yet! I will make sure your pet receives endless love and affection, long walks, loads of fun and trips to the dog park to mix and mingle. Safety & happiness of your pet is my priority so there’s no need to worry while they’re under my watch. I aim to create a stress free and fun environment for everyone. I understand how stressful it can be to find someone you trust with your baby, so I will be sure to keep you updated throughout our day. I enjoy taking photos of my dog so expect pictures updates as well. I am super flexible so for whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Available for daily walks, drop in visits and boarding. I work from home so I have the time and flexibility to care for your pet and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I am very respectful of your space and your dog and their’s. Making sure only do what I am advised to and anything outside of that I’d check with the owner prior.
About: I've owned/fostered/rescued animals my whole life, and I'm an avid animal lover. I run a rescue program with my friend and community members, and am very skilled with medical monitoring and behavior reading. I have experience working with special needs and elderly animals. I've administered oral medication and eye drops, changed doggy diapers, and bottle fed babies. I also have experience working with aggressive and territorial animals, I maintain a gentle and patient energy and work hard to create a secure relationship with each pet. I don't mind cleaning, I love super active animals, and I'm confident and reliable in caretaking. I work independently as an artist and curator, so I make my own schedule, so I always have plenty of time for your fur baby. I am unable to watch pets at my own place, as I am constantly fostering and have my own cats. I've been a trusted house/pet/baby sitter for 10 years, and will take great care of your space.
“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. She left my space clean and organized and I couldn’t even tell anyone else was there when I got home! Book with Kayla with confidence she will take great care of your pets and is incredibly respectful of your space.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hamtramck
Sarah took such good care of Teddy & Sparky! She was attentive to them, as they sometimes have a bit of separation anxiety and really like human contact at home. All the instructions I left were followed to a T. And, I received several updates and photos each day. I so appreciated the care Sarah provided my pups. I will gladly book her for another house sit/dog care.
From the moment our dogs met Lukis to the first update, you can immediately feel the love that Lukis has for your pets and that they are in great hands. We had no worries after that point, and the continuous updates and photos were greatly appreciated. It is always hard leaving your pets, but we feel much more comfortable in the future knowing that Lukis will be there!
Nicole did a great job with our two pitties, Kasia (11) and Miko (7). Our dogs were well cared for and we received updates throughout her time with them. She is a great communicator and she also made sure our house was left tidy. We would definitely like to have Nicole back again!
Sylvie was amazing with our 3 animals! She even did a meet-and-greet before we left on our trip so that the animals could get to know her and make sure it went okay. Sylvie took great care of our babies, the house, and we had zero worries while we were away cause we knew they were in good hands. Would highly recommend Sylvie to care for your critters and we will definitely book with her again!
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!
When I say Heather is phenomenal— I mean it. I can go anywhere in the world knowing my boy is cared for and that he gets to do all the things he loves. If you’re looking for someone to love your kiddo like he’s their own, Heather’s got you. Every time she’s watched my baby she has not missed a single beet. I also get the cutest photos ever from her 🫶 and she leaves my house better than she found it every single time. Beyond grateful for you, Heather!!
Kate was THE BEST as a housesitter/animal caregiver. My job was complex: I have multiple inside cats and regularly feed feral cats on my front porch. In addition, I have a rescue dog who can have emotional issues as well as recovering from a recent injury. Kate handled everything as I would have. Her frequent updates and photos showed me my babies-relaxed, obviously content/loved. I came home to a spotless house and my animals happy to see me, but not frantic for attention. I’m so grateful to have found Kate & will use her services whenever I travel again.
Eric took excellent care of Koda while we were away on vacation for seven days. He was very communicative, respectful and followed Koda’s care instructions very carefully. He sent regular updates and confirmed time of arrival and departure which also made me feel at ease while we were in the midst of traveling. He also took good care of our house, leaving it super clean, if not cleaner than how we left it. When we arrived back home, Koda seemed very comfortable and content. I would absolutely book with him again and recommend him to anyone else looking for a trustworthy sitter. Plus Koda was happy to make a new friend :) thanks again, Eric!
Thank you Katherine! I felt totally confident leaving my babies in her care! She was great at communicating, letting me know how they were doing and sending pictures. Highly recommend and I will definitely be contacting her again next time I have a trip planned.
Areatha was great with my cat, Agatha. She sent photos and videos almost every day so I knew that Agatha was being well taken care of. She was very responsive to all my messages before and during the sit. When my flight home was cancelled and I had to take a flight the next day, Areatha was great about watching Agatha one more day. I highly recommend her.
THE BEST!!!! Kelly gave our animals the best care! We came back and everything was tidy and orderly and our pets were happy and tuckered out from the walks and playtime. She went above and beyond in the winter storm to help shovel while we were gone. Would welcome her back anytime to watch our furry friends!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hamtramck
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hamtramck on Rover is $61.53 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 2,125 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hamtramck. 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 Hamtramck 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 Hamtramck 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 Hamtramck 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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
