“Sarah was fantastic! She took such great care of our dog and cats. She was very prompt, responsive, and sent regular updates. We will definitely book with her again. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“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!”
“Carissa was amazing. We are so grateful to have found someone so caring, who treats our dog as her own. Our dog felt comfortable immediately and fell in love with her. She makes us feel so relaxed, comfortable, and at ease when he is in her care. She is our go to girl! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Diandra was incredible! She was so communicative and so kind! She left our house in SPARKLING shape- I think it was cleaner when we got home than when we left! She swung with some annoyances too- our house lost power in 95 degree weather and I messed up our days off and asked literally the day before she was going to leave if she could spend an extra night. She was super easy going about both. I feel so lucky we found her and I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Melanie is exactly who you want to watch your baby when you’re away! She goes above and beyond!! She is so sweet, punctual and keeps you updated throughout the day. We will definitely be using her again!”
“We have used Lyle twice now and have already booked home stay #3. He is a good communicator takes wonderful care of my pups and leaves the house clean. He always send us photos and updates everyday. He takes extra special care of my deaf and partially blind senior dog. Thanks Lyle!!”
“Milo was great! I will have him back again. He is good at daily communication and sending photos. When I got home my dog acted like I was never gone which is good because she has separation anxiety. I know she got a lot of love and attention from Milo.”
“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of animals of many different breeds and species for almost my whole life! I have owned rodents, reptiles, aquatic animals, avians, and canines alike! I currently own a chocolate lab who is the love of my life and have experience taking care of her while my parents are on vacation! I am a big lover of all creatures and give them the special treatment they deserve! I am currently working part time at Ulta around 11-15 hours a week. I am usually home in the afternoons or early mornings to take care of pets. I am also a student who goes to school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays this semester. I take my dog out on night walks and usually feed her early in the morning so she is set for the day! I have safe locks and a wide yard for my dog to roam. She also has an E-collar to keep her safe so she knows where her boundaries are. We also get rid of trees that may cause hazards. We have flat ground too.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, attentive to senior pets who may need extra care and monitoring, and comfortable following detailed instructions, including administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! * Tuesday–Thursday: In-office in Novi from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM * Friday–Monday: Working remotely from home with a flexible schedule On my remote days, I’m able to provide more frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Even on my in-office days, I’m available before and after work and can accommodate morning, evening, and overnight care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. My biggest goal is to reduce as much stress as possible while you’re away by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and providing a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I understand that every pet is different—some want constant attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for.
“Blake came to my house, on time, to watch my best friend Gizmo. Gizmo is a service dog and goes everywhere with me, but couldn’t go to a rock concert. This causes him to have extreme separation anxiety whenever we leave him with someone at home. Blake was excellent with Giz and got him to calm down after we left. Gizmo enjoyed 10 hours with his new best friend Blake. Would recommend Blake!”
“Tara was great watching our 6 month old kittens. They are very shy with new people. She was patient and gained their trust, she really went the extra mile! Highly recommend! Thank you Tara!”
About: I love animals and have experience caring for family pets. I am responsible, dependable, and will make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given lots of attention. I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats and will treat every pet like my own. I am currently working at a senior assisted Living home full time. My availability is anytime after 3:00 PM on most days. I am off work on Thursdays and Sundays, so I am available anytime on those days. I am happy to work around my schedule and provide flexible pet care when needed. I have a lead, a dog and cat to keep your animal comany! If needed I do have crates. They also have a lot of toys to play with.
“Danielle is wonderful! It was so nice being able to enjoy my weekend away knowing my dogs are loved and cared for. One of my dogs is shy and took to her almost immediately! So glad to have found her, highly recommend!”
“Michelle is an amazing dog sitter, but she is more than that! She pivoted at the last minute to care for an injured songbird that had flown into my house and was determined to stay! Her gracious and supportive care was extraordinary! The pictures of my 2 year old great dane boys show their goofy playful side--a testament to them being comfortable and not missing a beat. I am grateful for her care every time she comes to stay.”
“Michael made our pup with extreme separation anxiety feel comfortable. He obviously has a love of dogs and we are delighted to have found him. He was very punctual and communicated very well about arrival times and his availability. I would highly recommend him.”

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.
