“Lauren is awesome! Very responsive, timely, and communicative and you can tell she truly cares about The pets she takes care of. Pepper was in great hands while I was gone. they even went for a run and long walk which my dog loves! My home was also extremely clean and tidy when I got back - I could hardly tell Lauren had stayed there! Thank you so much.”
“We were fortunate enough to find Mady for our pup first time using this service. She did an excellent job with her, was flexible with her time when we had to change the days around, and did a great job communicating. I would highly recommend her to anyone and we look forward to booking her again!”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Asher! He’s a friendly, affectionate dog, but he can be a little cautious in new situations and with new people. Jessica was patient, intuitive, and gave him the time he needed to warm up. Before long, they were enjoying playful moments together, and it was clear she understood his personality—especially letting him lead the way on their walks, which he absolutely loves. Jessica was also an excellent communicator throughout the weekend. She shared thoughtful updates and just the right number of photos, giving us peace of mind without overwhelming us. It was clear Asher was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. On top of taking such great care of Asher, she left our home spotless and tidy. We came home to a happy dog and a beautifully cared-for house. We can’t wait to have Jessica stay with Asher again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful sitter!”
“Alicia was beyond fantastic! 20 out of 10! My cat was happy, relaxed and looked after. Alicia played with him, spent some quality time and made sure his routine was not interrupted. I especially enjoyed the daily photos and short videos of my cat! I m definitely rebooking her for my next trips :) thank you, Alicia!”
“Natalie was wonderful with my elderly dog Taylor! She stayed in my home for 10 days, gave Taylor her medication twice a day and was able to keep an elderly dog comfortable in her routine. I’m very thankful for her care!”
About: I prefer to book 24 hours in advance to do a meet and greet. This will ensure that both our dogs get along before booking for both our safety and peace of mind.. My husband and I have a large fenced in yard in Hastings and we love to meet new dogs. I have a cat named Apollo and a 2 year old and a dog - An Alaskan Malamute. His name is Drago and he is a giant lover. He gets along very well with other dogs but is very hyper upon meeting a new dog. Drago is not fixed so we are hesitant to accept females. We have a large crate in the house. We also have a leash in the backyard as well. If needed, we can provide food with an additional fee. I do offer drop in visits and dog walking if you live in Hastings or close by. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to me. Thank you! I currently work Sunday -Wednesday so I am mostly available Thursday,Friday and Saturday. My husband works nights so he is home during the day but can also assist with drop in visits during the days I work Drago always has a full food dish, water and shares well! We also have treats that our daughter loves to pass out. We do give our dog table scraps sometimes and our fur babies are allowed on the couch!
“Samantha is amazing. Her communication is excellent and she sent us tons of pictures. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous but Samantha put our minds at ease. She is professional and friendly and came over before she watched our pups to introduce herself to us and our dogs. She was a perfect fit and plan on using Rover and Samantha again!”
“Kateri (Rebekah) was amazing! We will definitely have her back! She took excellent care of our goldendoodle, sent pictures/updates every day, and went above and beyond to take care of our house while we were gone. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!”
“If I could have given Rebecca more stars I would have. I was leaving my almost 16 yr old dog for a week (a vacation booked a year in advance and to be honest I didn't think I would need a pet sitter) . Chance has mobility and cognitive issues and we hadn't been apart overnight from each other in years. Rebecca came and met myself and Chance. She was very open and asked questions to understand Chance's needs and my wants in terms of care. She was FANTASTIC!!! She was meticulous about his schedule and care. I told her if she had any ideas to improve his life to let me know and she did have a few suggestions that have helped. She stayed in touch with texts and pictures throughout the week. My house was in as good if not better condition than when I left. Chance gained back the 2 pounds he had recently lost before the trip as well as an extra pound. I can't recommend Rebecca highly enough. She truly cares and loves your pet as if they are her own. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.”
“Heather did a great job. House was as lean as we left it, and she washed the bed linens (an unexpected surprise) Dogs were not as happy to see us as they normally are.. Did she spoil them? LOL ? Anyways, great service, and thanks.”
“Mackenzie did a wonderful job caring for my two kittens while I was out of town for a week. Very responsible and professional. She sent me regular updates and pictures. It was very reassuring to know my pets would safe and well taken care of.”
“Grace did great with my dog Stella. Grace spent a lot of time with her and took her on walks which was super helpful especially sense Stella can be a challenge to walk. I would recommend using Grace.”
“We had a good experience with Lauren for overnight with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can only say I wish there were a few more updates throughout, but absolutely no issues. Thank you, Lauren”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and responsibly took care of them myself. I have also been a dog/cat sitter for many family friends throughout highschool and college! I love any and all animals and must stop to pet any dog whenever I see one! I am will to walk dogs morning or night on days that I work and can walk during the day on off days. I’m also available to make house visits to take of animals morning and night on workdays and all day on off days! Make sure they are being good and not getting into anything that could harm them while they’re in my house! Since I don’t have any fencing I would make sure to keep them in a leash when going outside
About: Hi, I'm Lucy! I'm a lover of all things small, cute, and fluffy. I've grown up around yorkies, pomeraninans, and other small breeds so I know them best - their unique, sweet, loving, and sometimes yappy souls hold a special place in my heart. ;) I love and respect these kind creatures with everything in me! My rescue dog ended up being pregnant! So I learned how to care for 4 pom ups from birth. I love to connect and care for animals with the same attention, warmth, and kindness I would want for my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets for vacation, so I want to create a safe space in my care that you and your dogs feel comfortable with! I send lots of detailed updates and photos of your furbaby :) My profile is new! So I would be honored to earn your trust to be your sitter - i'm happy to set up a meet and greet before we lock in the real dates to make you more comfortable if you prefer! I work full time remotely, so I have flexibility to pop in as needed. I have full weekend availability and can usually do mornings and evenings on weekdays, or afternoons if you are nearby. When in a clients home, I treat it with extreme respect. I tread lightly and only come in to care for your pets and take boundaries seriously as this is your personal space, your comfort is my priority!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Keego Harbor
She did a wonderful job watching our girl while we were away. She kept us updated every day and sent photos every day. Our 10yr old Great Dane is a glorified body pillow at this point, she doesn’t cause trouble and can stay alone for decent periods of time, even so, Rebecca asked us if was ok if she stayed out later one evening! Very considerate and respectful. Im also convinced that our house was cleaner when we came than how we left it. 10/10 recommend!
Alicia went far and beyond when my flights hit cancelled and I hit stuck for 2 days trying to get home. They were chancing on Kot to make sure he has food and water even after the sitting officially ended. They are by far the best pet care provider I have found!
Kelsey is incredible! She stayed at our house for the weekend with our three pups and was so attentive to their every need! She made sure to stay in contact with us and sent LOTS of pictures! You can tell she truly loves dogs and treats them like they are her own. Will be using Kelsey regularly :)
Carolyn took great care of our dog Bailey while staying in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was very thoughtful about keeping us in the loop—sending updates and photos that reassured us everything was going smoothly. Bailey is an older pup who needs medication and a little extra TLC, and Carolyn handled his routine with ease and genuine care. It meant a lot to us to know he was comfortable and well looked after while we were out of the country. We truly appreciated Carolyn’s reliability and attentiveness, and we would gladly have her stay with Bailey again. Highly recommend!
Autumn did a great job with both dogs for the week we were gone. The dogs were both happy and the house very tidy and clean. She gave good updates and pictures during the week. I am looking forward to having her stay with the dogs again. We have a lab and a senior 18 year old Pomeranian mix. She was able to take of both of them and give the lab walks daily. I highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Keego Harbor
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Keego Harbor on Rover is $34.13 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 2,357 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Keego Harbor. 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 Keego Harbor 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 Keego Harbor 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 Keego Harbor 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.

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.
