“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!”
“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”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Samantha. This was a first time home sitting stay for 10 days and she was fantastic with her patience with Daisy and left my house immaculate!! She and Daisy bonded and I so appreciate her great care. Highly recommend!!!”
“Nicole did a wonderful job caring for our dog and house while we were away. It was a trying time with storms and fireworks, so she hung out in the basement with our dog, playing the TV loud to cover the noise. Our house looked exactly the same as the way we left it. I received twice daily updates, which my entire family appreciated—it’s always nice to see your pet is doing well when you’re away.”
“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’m a dog and cat lover with a Golden Retriever and older cat of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. They’re all family to me. I work from home part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide care when you need it. I’m happy to care for your pet in my home or yours—or simply stop by for some company, playtime, walks, and attention. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or just want your pet to have a little extra love while you’re away, I’d love to help! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available to provide care in my home or in your pet’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I love spending time with animals and am happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and plenty of love while you’re away. I would prefer to take care of pets in their environment but I always treat them like family. I prefer complete honesty if a dog is fearful or tends to run or hide. Pets are like family and I take that responsibility very seriously.
“Very responsive, professional and punctual. She kept us updated about our dogs the whole time during our vacation. They both fell in love with her on the first meeting, especially our reactive dog. She played with them and kept them entertained.”
About: I have 10+ years of professional experiencing caring for animals as I worked in animal shelter and volunteered for animal rescues. I’ve cared for multiple special needs animals and specialize in felines, but I love dogs though! Especially if your dog loves a loooong walk, I’m your girl! I work full time from home so your pets will have 24/7 care and attention. I will work with your schedule to ensure this is a pleasant experience for you. My preference would be to pet sit at your home as pets enjoy the stability and it reduces anxiety. For the dog lovers, I am a big fan of long walks and play time so your pets will have a lot of distraction. For my feline lovers, I have every cat toy you can imagine and am well versed in the varying personalities they come with.
About: Howdy, I am genuinely passionate towards animals and have been most of my life. I currently travel nationwide for work & appreciate taking care of animals along the way. I have a range of domestic animals as well as a few farms that are growing with animals & agriculture (homesteading & ranch life). Background: I grew up with 4 police trained German shepherds, have spent 10 years on farms dealing with a range of animals as well as animal personalities. I currently use a few animals as emotional support tools for clients I caregive for and have a handful of close veterinarian friends to reach out to for any immediate pet advice. It may be useful to know that there may be some small farm animals that visit if there's an opportunity to care for your animals onsite. Keeping the animals separate is managed as needed. The chickens have their own coop and the dogs have their own 1/2 an acre that is completely fenced in for outdoor play time. Feel free to ask about any other details or special needs you may have. I currently have full control of my schedule which includes to flexibility to cater my schedule to you and your animal's individual needs & preferences. We usually have some form of communication to make sure the animal's needs and care routine are a good fit. Every situation can be a bit different & will be customized to fit the needs of the time.
About: Hi I'm Kristan!! I am a 33 year old experienced pet sitter and dog walker! I am passionate about animal care and can provide care for a variety of pets! I am comfortable with Dogs and Cats, Reptiles, Small Furry Animals, Fish, Birds, Ducks and Chickens, Some Farm Animals and some Exotics. I have around 18 years of personal and professional experience with animals. I have worked in the Veterinary Field for around 4 years as well as having years of professional dog walking and overnight pet sitting for all breeds of dogs and other pets as well with two separate companies. In my free time around my veterinary job, I would LOVE to be able to provide services in the community for people who may need drop-in visits or walks, feeding visits or medication visits, etc. Thank you for any consideration to watch over your Furbabies! I promise to treat them as my own and again would be more than happy to provide any references from my past employers in order to make you feel any more comfortable about using my services! I am currently available weekdays after 3 PM for any dog walks or drop in visits! I am also available Friday-Sunday for dog walks, drop in visits or overnight stays. I do not provide services in my own home. In Clients Homes, I am overly aware of how I enter and exit the home on each visit. I am observant and make sure all doors or yard gates are closed, I am very vigilant about any potential issues that could occur while I am visiting. While working for both Dog Walking Companies, we are prepped to keep our eyes and ears open for any potential dangers that can occur. Working in that environment for close to 4 years, I have become overly aware of my surroundings and can ensure safety when I am in care of anyone's pets.
About: I have been an animal lover since a young age. I have a five year old and 1 year old dog, along with a 1 year old cat. I have pet sat and boarded many dogs and they were nothing less than spoiled! I live on a lake so if your dog loves the water it will have the time of its life, if not, that’s okay too! I am very active so walks can happen frequently. If you are interested in boarding with me I require that your dog is house trained (exception for puppies because they are learning and I can work with that), good with dogs, and doesn’t mind kids nearby. I work Monday through Friday from 8:15am-3:30pm as a teacher and I will be spending the before hours and after hours at your house with your fur baby! I am completely open on weekends! In my clients home I would care for their pets the exact way that they do and how they instruct me to do so! Your babies will get treated the same way I expect mine to be treated!

About: As an experienced pet caregiver and dedicated dog rescuer, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. With years of experience in animal rescue, I’m comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs. From high-energy pups to senior dogs needing extra TLC, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm currently available days, nights and weekends. I can provide drop in services at your convenience. I also offer overnight stays for your sweet dog. I have a fenced yard, love to take dogs on walks and offer a lot of enrichment activities to keep their minds and bodies busy.
“Erica was so great with our 2 dogs. Both dogs needed meds and have some medical issues. She took such good care of Ottikar and Piper and when we returned both dogs were calm and the house was immaculate! Thank you Erica! Excited to have you watch them again.”
“Makayla was so wonderful to work with. She came prior to our house sit to meet me and my dog, which helped ease the nerves of having a house sitter for the first time. She was quickly responsive and communicative about everything. She left my house cleaned and cleaned up anything she used during her stay. I will definitely be using her services again!”
“Jordan did an amazing job taking care of our crew once again. She kept in touch regularly and they were happy and relaxed when we returned. She also left the house very clean which was super nice after such a long travel day :)”

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 :)
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Stevie has been. She cares deeply for my animals follows directions communicates well reassures my anxiety and takes great care of my dogs. One of the dogs had a small injury and she took care of it and communicated what was going on appropriately. Thank you so much Stevie. I couldn’t have gone without you.

The average cost of House Sitting in Keego Harbor is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $93 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
