Janelle is a fabulous “pawsitter”. I asked her to stop by place after I returned home. Miss Pretty, my 14 year old cat, immediately ran to her and was so excited & affectionate!!! 🤗 What more can I say, this interaction says it all. Thank You Janelle for providing such wonderful care to my precious cat. I will use her again when the need arises. 🙏😘

Eliza was amazing to work with and I recommend booking her for your trips. She met with my pups beforehand and was open to the crew I have. I have a senior Chihuahua that needs special care and I have breeds that are not like typical dogs so they take a little more patience and time to understand their nuances. She sent pictures, gave updates, and I returned to happy pups who seems like I was just gone for the day.

Ok, wow. I moved to town a year ago with my 12-year dog, Malachi. He has never boarded a lot, but since we moved here and don’t know many people, he has had to go “kennel jail”. He liked it there, ok, but he was never excited to go. This time, I took a chance and searched Rover and landed on Sara’s page. From the beginning she made me feel comfortable. She’s super communicative and seemed excited about staying with my boy. During the stay, I got frequent pictures and updates, which was great for my anxiety, this being the first time I’ve left him at home without family watching him. But, that wasn’t the best part. I got to watch my boy be completely head over heels for Sara! He seemed so happy to have her here and was so happy when I got home. It was as if he had the best weekend ever! 20/10 stars, would absolutely recommend and will absolutely book again.

Anastasia was great and watched our girls for two nights in a row so we could go to a dog free dinner at a restaurant while on vacation. She was very responsive and we highly recommend her.

Would highly recommend Sophia! She was very accommodating for our dogs schedule and handled a stressful situation very professionally. She kept us informed of what was going on and sent pics of our pup while we were gone. Gave us peace of mind and would definitely have her dog sit again!

About: I fully believe in the power of pets as best friends and emotional support companions, and I want to help take care of your furry loved ones! In my role, I am all about communication first. I have around +2 years of pet-sitting/care experience with diverse dog breeds (chihuahua, pitbulls, schnauzer, mixed) and cats from family members and friends, as well as my own. I have experience doing drop-in visits (feeding, playing, grooming/cleaning, petting) and dog walking (around neighborhood or on pet-friendly nature trails). To further build my experience, I make sure that I have the client's detailed pet routine clearly documented before I accept a drop-in or pet walking visit. I will provide a full-time experience with your pets and make them feel cared for and loved. I will 100% use a baby voice for every sweet pup and kitten I play with! I am working part-time and I have a lot of time flexibility to fully care for your lovely pets. I am responsive while on the job and I try to be quick to accept/decline a new booking. While I can be flexible most of the times, I will let my clients know if there is a weekend or weekdays that I am unavailable. From start to finish, constant communication with my clients is always my top priorirty! I use patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of attention to help pets feel comfortable and build trust. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding, exercise, and medication instructions while keeping owners updated with messages and photos. While providing services at my clients' homes, I quickly learn the areas where the pets will be the most comfortable and avoid possible triggers. I am happy to adjust and, if requested by the client, to meet pets beforehand to build trust and make everyone comfortable during this experience!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, providing fresh water, giving medications when needed, cleaning up after pets, playing with them, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs and understand that every animal has their own routine and comfort level. My own pets have also given me years of experience understanding and caring for animals. I’m currently working full time at a vet clinic, but I would be able to stop in on my way into work, on my lunch (depending on how close you are), and on my way home. I’m off on weekends so I would be able to come by more often. We can always talk about my hours and figure things out. I’m a caring, dependable, and animal-loving person who truly enjoys spending time with pets. I have experience caring for dogs and cats and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, kindness, and attention. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I scoop my cat’s boxes everyday or every other day. They’re always getting lots of love and spoiled with treats. I play ball with my dog in our yard and go on walks. I’m a very clean person. I love to deep clean my house once a week, but I’m always vacuuming and cleaning. I would always make sure to keep your place clean.

About: Hey there! I have taken care of my families and neighbors pets for years, and with help of a friend I realized I could save for graduate school by doing so. I have had puppies and worked with multiple at the same time, and in general I feel fit for whatever you’ll need me to do. I’m excited to start this journey! I’m currently working part-time over summer, and I would love to use my extra time during the weekdays or weekends to help take care of pets. I am generally free after 1:00 or 4:00 pm. I take my labradoodle on walks daily and make sure her food and water tray is full most of the time. She has an online training I have used a lot of the resources from to teach her new things, like patience! We also make sure to clean the backyard every few days.

Couldn't be happier. Alexa arrived a few minutes early, which was great. She appeared to have a good understanding of the needs of dogs. While we were gone, she sent 3 pictures which was great. The house looked great when we returned and the dogs looked great. I would highly recommend her and will use her in the future if there is the need and she is available.

About: You can enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your dog is receiving dedicated, one-on-one care in my home. Since I don’t currently have any pets of my own, your dog will be my sole focus, ensuring they feel safe, welcome, and active. I have a large, fully fenced-in backyard that provides plenty of room for supervised play and exercise. Because I work remotely, your pet will have constant companionship and the freedom to enjoy the yard throughout the day. Having previously owned a Golden Retriever and two mixed-breed rescues, I am experienced in caring for different personalities and activity levels. Because I work from home and live alone, your dog becomes my primary companion and the heartbeat of my home. My daily routine is perfectly suited for a pet who thrives on consistency and attention. We start each morning with breakfast and a potty break in the large fenced-in backyard before I settle in for work. While I am at my desk, your dog is welcome to nap in my office or relax at my feet, enjoying a calm and quiet environment. I make it a point to step away from my screen for several breaks throughout the day, which provides the perfect opportunity for us to head outside for fresh air and supervised playtime in the yard. Once I log off for the evening, we head out for a long walk to wind down and get some exercise. My weekends are dedicated to trail walking, and I love having a furry friend join me for these longer outdoor adventures. Since I don't have other pets or children, your dog will truly be the centerpiece of my day and will fit right into my active lifestyle. Since I work from home and live alone, I provide a quiet, low-stress environment where your dog is the sole focus of my attention. My day is built around companionship—your dog can lounge in my office while I work, and we take frequent breaks to play in my large, fully fenced-in backyard. I strictly follow your existing feeding and medication schedule to keep their routine as normal as possible. Because I am active, they will enjoy a long evening walk every day and the option for trail adventures on the weekends.

Victoria did a wonderful job watching my pets. She sent many updates and through them I could tell she was taking thoughtful care of my energetic young dog. She was very understanding and empathetic. And when I came home, my home was in perfect order. She truly went above and beyond, and I’d feel very comfortable having her watch my pets in the future.

Kendra was absolutly fantastic!!! We have two very high energy, happy Vizlas. They are known for being a bit attached :))) to their owners. My female , Lily, definetly is. Kendra met us the night before to make sure Lily was good. Lily warmed up to her immediatly. We spent the day up in Mackinac Island and I literally didn't worry about my dogs once. Kendra sent updates with video and pics. We came home to two happy and tired dogs. They went on walks. Kendra even found a great beach to take them out for a little swim. If there was a way I could give her six stars...I would. If you are bringing up dogs to this area and want to hike Chapel Loop or anywhere the dogs aren't able to go...reach out to Kendra. She is excellent!!!!!!!

About: When I was young, I had always grown up around dogs & had familiarized myself with their behaviors and antics! As for hands-on experience, I have 2+ years of experience from working at two Animal Shelter’s! For a time, I was an “Animal Caregiver” which was essentially walking dogs, facilitating play groups, administering medications or vaccinations when needed, feeding them, enriching them & learning their behaviors! With the years of experience that i’ve accumulated over time, I have grown very comfortable around most dogs regardless of breed, size, age or needs! I am ready to take on any task thrown at me, and would love to work with you and your furbaby! I am currently working full-time at UPAWS (Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter) and would love to add in some extra time walking dogs, hanging out with cats, or just being able to help out my local community! This will especially help me gain more experience & confident in my caretaking abilites. Of course it depends on the pet and their needs, but I am open to accommodating for any behavioral and/or medical issues if necessary. I will spend plenty of time enriching them (Playing, walking, etc.) as well as encouraging their use of mental stimulation or training. Regardless, I will be sure to keep them on a consistent schedule and give them plenty of love!

Eliza was absolutely amazing! I was gone out of the country for over 2weeks and she managed my three dogs, all with different needs and difficulties (One very senior dog, one with strict diet needs, and the other with young pup excitement) and when I returned they were all very happy, clearly well cared for and it was as if I never left so I cannot recommend her enough!!

Eliza did a great job with our dog Daisy who is often nervous around new people. Daisy took to her right away and they had a great 4 days together. There were no problems and nothing to worry about so we were able to enjoy our trip away completely. I would not hesitate to choose Eliza as our caregiver again.

Cathy was such a breath of fresh air while I left my pups for the weekend. I have very specific instructions for them as to how they need to go outside together as well as feeding instructions and I had no doubts that she had everything under control. She gave them plenty of cuddles and was great about communicating with me so I had nothing to worry about while I was gone. I will absolutely contact Cathy again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Harvey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Harvey on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 55 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harvey. 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 Harvey 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 Harvey 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 Harvey 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
