“Sarah was able to take care of our dogs for two nights on short notice. She did excellent! Was a great communicator and our pets were happy and our home was tidy upon our return which is always so nice! I would highly recommend Sarah!”
“Melanie was awesome!!! We highly recommend her for your fur babies! She was very professional, kind, considerate and responsible. She took excellent care of our two large doodles and our home, as she stayed at our home 5days and 5nights. She arrived as agreed and fed them their raw diet, responsibly. She sat with them outside regularly and cuddled with them in the evening. We really appreciated her excellent communication and attention to detail. She sent us photos of our two pups with a quick text of how well they were doing, every morning and night. This gave us great comfort and peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more, knowing they were well cared for. When we got home our home looked just as we left it. She was very clean and neat and cared of our home as well!”

“Milo did an amazing job caring for my dog Juniper and cat Clara and taking care of my house while I was away for 3 days. He sent me pictures, videos, and updates and played with Juniper to make sure he had enough exercise. When I got back home, Juniper and Clara were very happy and the house looked great.”
“Judy provided great communication the entire trip and ensured my dog got the correct medications. She left the house clean and it gave me peace of mind knowing Judy was at home with my dog.”

“Karlysse helped us out last minute over the holidays and took amazing care of our two dogs. We came home to a spotless house and two very happy pups. We would absolutely hire her again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s cared for dogs of all sizes—from tiny cuddle bugs to big, goofy giants 🐶❤️. I’ve helped friends and family with everything from daily walks to multi‑pet households, and I’m completely comfortable giving each pup the attention they need. Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember 🐱✨. Growing up with them taught me to understand their unique personalities, moods, and boundaries. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or extra snuggly, I know how to make them feel safe, respected, and loved. Your pets will be treated like family while you’re away—lots of care, patience, and affection included 💛 I work from home full time so if the need is to watch a pet for a few hours, a whole day or a whole week I am very flexible and can do my full time job from anywhere with internet. I unfortunately cannot care for pets in my home as my family has allergies but I am happy to care for them over at your house, make sure they feel comfortable, loved and make sure they aren’t alone for long periods of time.
“Lauren was the best pet sitter ever. she and Shrek hit it off right away and I instantly knew he was going to be well taken care of and safe. She sent picture updates everyday of them playing in the yard and cuddling. She also took excellent care of my house, I couldn't even tell anyone had been there when I got home. 10/10 would recommend. I will be using her every time I go out of town from now on.”

“I feel so very confident with Leaha taking care of our sweet Lexi. I can tell from the pictures how happy Lexi is - perfectly content, safe, and well cared for! Thank you Leaha!”

“Lyle was a perfect house guest and wonderful pup sitter. He was on time, paid close attention to any instructions, made us feel comfortable leaving our home with our dogs in it, sent us little updates with pictures AND the girls loved him. This was our first time ever using Rover or having anyone watch the dogs at our house before, and I could not be more happy and appreciative.”

About: I was a single dog-mom of rescue named Anubis from puppy until he passed at age 10.5 in winter 2022. The app still shows I have Anubis at home - but it’s just me now that he’s in heaven. I miss having a dog in my daily life and enjoy having dog visits or sleepovers. My lakefront yard is like a park (currently my house is under construction so I am only available to sit in your home). I’m also a photographer, so I’ll for sure send you a few quality photos of your dog (perk of choosing me). Or you can message to hire me as just a photographer to do family dog portraits sometime. I genuinely enjoy the time meeting sweet dogs like yours. For many years, I volunteered at a local veterinary clinic and walked dogs regularly. I have a bachelors degree and work from home with a flexible schedule, making it easy to be present with your dog. I have always been interested in helping and learning about animals. I have lived with people that had little dogs and big dogs, old dogs and puppies. I enjoy all breeds of dogs. Sharing time and space with dogs is a joyful experience and I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with more canines as they are brilliant teachers of unconditional love. Thank you for sharing your dog love. I live in Brighton and am also in Oakland county to visit family a couple times a week. I’m flexible in where and how I can help. I look forward to caring for your dog. Thank you :) I work from home in Brighton and have a flexible schedule so it’s easy to be present. I also visit my mom in Birmingham every week and could easily plan ahead for any cities in between. I’ll treat your dog like a member of the family. They get the care and kindness they deserve. I am happy to watch your dog.
About: I’ve been babysitting and pet sitting since the age of 13 and have stuck with it as a summer job, now year-round gig ever since. I am now a 20 year old college student residing in Hartland. I can truly say there’s nothing I haven’t been able to do/learn. I’ve developed a pretty sturdy routine and enjoy getting to know my clients, their family’s and their pets. I’m very flexible and try my best to fit everybody in and make sure all my clients needs are met and more! My goal is to be a reliable pet sitter to all of my clients. Pet sitting and Babysitting is my full-time job right now and I have a lot of flexibility. Most of my families are currently out of town so I’m looking to fill up my schedule for the next few weeks. My clients typically tell me what they need done and we have a meeting a couple days or a week before they need me to come by. I do, of course, have my own pets and volunteer at dog and cat shelters in my spare time. My family has been fostering dogs through the shelter we volunteer at for over two years now and we have two cats. Typically a care routine is established through me and a client having a meeting or conversation over the phone. Every pet is unique and everyone’s standards are different. I usually just inquire with my client and create a plan that works the absolute best for their needs and their pet.
“Patrick was great with our dog, Bentley! Our dog has separation anxiety so going away for trips is always a bit hard for us. Patrick was on time & communicative. I highly rec him.”

“This was the first time for Kara petsitting our two dogs and cats. We were so happy that she was available and really appreciated her enthusiasm for our pets. She took them for a walk, played with them and fed them dinner before we got home. We felt they had been well cared for while we were away. Whenever I have texted with Kara she responds immediately. We look forward to hiring Kara again to take care of our furry friends!”

“Michelle was great with my Great Danes! She sent many pictures of them running around the yard, getting cozy, and just being their goofy selves. She managed meds, feeds, fun, and supported them through a stormy night. What I appreciated most is that Michelle is a great communicator! I would love to have her watch the boys again!”

“Blake is the best! He watched our 3 pets for a week during the holiday and we came home to very happy pets that were relaxed. Our pets just love his calm demeanor and feel comfortable cuddling up with him. Blake is great at dealing with our elderly dog that has dementia and needs daily meds; she can be a handful and yet she is calm and loving with him. And the bonus part is that Blake left our home clean, which was nice to return to after a trip. We appreciate the love Blake always gives our fur babies! We trust and appreciate Blake!”

“This was our second time having Danielle to our house to watch our 2 Golden Retrievers. She did not disappoint once again. It's awesome knowing we can leave and have someone to trust with our animals and home and have no worries.”

“Josie was amazing! I will definitely be using her over and over again. My dogs got to stay in the comfort of their own home with someone who genuinely cared for them. It was a huge relief for me as well being away for so long; I got pics and videos throughout the whole stay. It was just what my dog mama heart needed while being away.”

About: I currently work from home in a flexible remote position and am only in the office on Wednesdays, giving me plenty of availability to help care for your pets. My family and I have cared for many dogs over the years, and I also have experience with basic training and reinforcing good habits. Your pup will be in loving, reliable, and experienced hands! Thank you for considering me! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I’m Brandi, a teacher off for the summer and fully focused on caring for dogs! This is my main priority all week and weekend long. Your pup will get tons of outdoor time, whether they want to play or just relax in the yard. Starting in the fall, we’ll still be available for dog care! Brandi will be back at work during the day, but is able to come home on my lunch break to check in. Shawn has August & September currently available. The dogs will have access to our cozy garage space, which feels just like a living room- with a couch to relax on and a doggy door for easy potty breaks. For everyone’s comfort and safety, dogs will be separated while we’re away. Our home features a large, fully fenced half-acre yard that's perfect for dogs to run and play. Inside, there's plenty of space too, and dogs are more than welcome to relax on the furniture. For overnight stays, dogs can choose to sleep in our climate-controlled garage with a cozy couch and setup, or inside the house—wherever they feel most comfortable. I'm flexible and happy to care for your dog either at our place or at your home—whatever works best for you. Brandi also has a ton of days off, due to working in a school district.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hartland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hartland on Rover is $49.95 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 1,911 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hartland. 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 Hartland 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 Hartland 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 Hartland 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 Hartland. On Rover:
- 95% 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.
