“Kateri (Rebekah) was amazing to work with! She was on time, did regular check-ins and left our home as she found it. I would definitely use her again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody looking for a reliable excellent pet sitter!”
“Joanne was awesome with Bravo while we were out of town. Super sweet, easy to deal with, and Bravo absolutely loved her. He was happy and comfortable when we got home, and the house was spotless.”
“Genevieve was absolutely fantastic! I am always worried about leaving Pepper because she doesn’t like new people initially but she seemed to warm up to Genevieve very well. Genevieve was patient, friendly, and accommodating to any needs I had. She sent the cutest pictures and “pupdates” often to keep me in the loop. Since it was Christmas, she also opened gifts with Pepper on that day and sent fun videos. She took great care of our house as well. Cleaned up after herself and went over and beyond doing laundry as well. I would definitely recommend Genevieve to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter for their fur babies. We will be using her again soon! Thanks for everything!”
“Laura was awesome! I didn't win my golf tournament today, but at least I only had one thing to blame: my golf game. Knowing Bravo was safe and happy made the day a whole lot less stressful. Bravo can be a bit particular about his people, and he gave Laura his stamp of approval almost immediately. Either she's a natural with dogs, or he was hypnotized by the red hair. I'm still investigating. She kept me updated, took great care of him, and let me enjoy my round without wondering if my dog was plotting his escape or teaching the neighborhood squirrels bad habits. If you're looking for someone to watch your dog, Laura is fantastic. Five stars from me and two paws up from Bravo.”
“Hannah was a great sitter! She took my request very last minute and I was truly grateful for her. She helped us out sent pics took good care of the doggies, was there when she was supposed to be! Would book again, very easy to communicate with.”
“Emily rocks! I was in Europe for two weeks. A crisis occurred with my dog. She went well above the call of duty in caring for my fur baby, allowing me to continue my vacation. I was so fortunate she was in charge.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter! Mark stayed in our home while we were away, and he took incredible care of our dog, Willie Nelson. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Willie was comfortable in his own home with someone so kind, responsible, and attentive. Mark went above and beyond while we were gone. He kept us updated, treated our home with care and respect, and most importantly, gave Willie so much love and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and our house was just as we left it. Mark is also an incredibly talented local artist, and he’s simply a wonderful human being. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home, I can’t recommend him enough. We’ll absolutely be booking him again!”
“Nathalie is truly amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and we were so lucky to find her right away. She cared for our 3-year-old dog and 11-year-old cat as if they were her own. Throughout the stay, she sent us daily photo updates along with detailed notes, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a spotless house, and she even washed and remade our bed so we had fresh sheets waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that went above and beyond. On top of that, her sweet dog Vern was the perfect playmate for ours, which was such a wonderful bonus. We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely, and I’ve already shared her info with my family. Highly, highly recommend Nathalie!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a mom of two (my husband holds down our fort while I help hold down yours), a longtime pet lover, and currently the very happy human to two cats and two puppies of my own. Our house is definitely a little busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I know how much peace of mind it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I’m here to make those daytime hours a little easier — whether your pup needs a good walk, your kitty needs some company, or your pet simply needs a little extra attention while you’re away. I have experience caring for both baby and senior pets, including pets who need medications or a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable following routines, giving medications as directed, and paying attention to the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable. I work remotely , so I’m available during daytime hours, and happy to work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m dependable, communicative, and the type of person who will happily send you a photo and a quick update so you know your furry family member is doing just fine. Whether your pet is playful, shy, particular, old and wise, or still figuring out their paws — I’d love to help take care of them! ❤️ I work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day to give your pet the attention and companionship they need. Whether they need a midday potty break, a little playtime, a walk around the neighborhood, or simply someone nearby while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I’m available during daytime hours and can be flexible around your pet’s normal routine. When your pet is in my care, my goal is simple: help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would when you’re at home. As a work-from-home mom and pet owner, I’m used to the different personalities, routines, and energy levels that come with having animals around. I have experience with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and everything in between, and I’m comfortable giving medications and following specific care instructions. You can expect: Lots of attention and companionship throughout the day Comfort caring for pets with different energy levels and needs Careful attention to medications, feeding schedules, routines, and special instructions Patience with shy, nervous, excitable, or senior pets A focus on your pet's comfort and individual personality Regular updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing I pay attention to the little things — changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or mood — because those details can tell you a lot about how a pet is feeling. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is in calm, caring, attentive care while you're away.
“Amy was great with our kitty Tommy. He took to her right away so felt at ease with her staying at our place. She sent me pics often and he was happy. Will definitely use her again for more upcoming trips.”
“Thank you so much for caring for our pups Miranda! You made our vacation and the time away from our pups so much easier! I loved our communication and sharing updated multiple times a day! Miranda also left our house cleaner than when she came! Thanks again”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities and needs! I’ve spent over 500 hours volunteering at an animal shelter, where I walked large, strong, and reactive dogs and learned how to work with dogs with a wide range of behavioral challenges. I also have personal experience managing strong, reactive pitbulls in my own family, so I understand the importance of patience, reading body language, and adapting to each dog’s individual needs. I’ve lived with multiple shelter dogs with behavioral quirks and fostered a shelter dog with behavioral challenges for eight months, giving me experience with the consistency and understanding that some dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. I am also experienced with giving medications. I’m comfortable with dogs who need a little extra patience, space, or understanding, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also have experience caring for both friendly and more temperamental cats, along with previous pet-sitting experience. Whether your pet is energetic, nervous, reactive, independent, or just a little quirky, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own! I am a grad student, so my schedule varies from week to week. However, I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly about my availability. I am happy to coordinate with you ahead of time to find a schedule that works for both of us! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following their owner's instructions closely. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away!

“Sam was very proactive in taking care of our pups and house while we were away. He was also tremendously patient with our one dog who takes a good bit of time to warm up to new people. He lect the house tidy and from the pictures it was clear the dogs enjoyed their time with him! We are recommending him to our friends! Thanks again 😊”
“Diane was a fantastic sitter! She was amazing and easy to work with throughout the process. She stayed in my home while I traveled and my deeply anxious rescue dog and my cats never missed me. Diane kept me informed while I was away, followed all my instructions, and my pets were safe and happy in my absence. I look forward to hiring her again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or rebook her. She’s truly a thoughtful and special person who will care for your pets so you can relax while you’re away.”
About: I have been a life long animal lover, I've had cats, rats, dogs, and other small animals as pets my whole life. I have a soft spot for "quirky" pets and enjoy spending time with all animals. I am currently attending online school, so I will have a lot of availability to care for your pets! I'm new to the area, and excited to get myself out there. I'm attentive to all of an animal's body language, and enjoy following animals' lead for interactions. Following routines is so important for our animal friends!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lathrup Village
She makes my dog feels comfortable enough to finish her meals and request to go out for a walk, which I consider that as a miracle. She stayed my house whole evening and night and I can tell she respect my specific rules. I really appreciate her staying with my dog.
Gracie always takes great care of our pup! She’s very prompt, follows all our instructions, and leaves our house cleaner than we left it! She’s great about checking in and sending updates and photos. Our dog really seemed to enjoy his time with her, and we appreciate the peace of mind knowing our dog and house were in good hands. I’d highly recommend!
Bri is the BEST! We can always trust her to take good care of our dog, Koda. She stayed with him for 8 days while we were in Europe and sent frequent updates with lots of pics. We had to come back earlier than expected and she was very flexible and accommodating.
Our dog likes absolutely no one, but she warmed up to Diane during the course of our trip, and they became pals! Diane is is patient and caring with nervous pups, and really helped make sure Pickles trusted her. She and her kitty brother Ozzie seemed to really enjoy their time with her, and I love that we finally have a reliable sitter to care for them when needed. Frequent updates helped us not miss our babies so much (even though we still did!). Will use her again with no hesitate!
Larry took great care of my dog while I was away. He was reliable, communicative, and made sure everything went smoothly. It was clear my dog was well cared for and comfortable. I really appreciated his help and would be happy to book with him again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lathrup Village is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,304 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lathrup Village. 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 Lathrup Village 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 Lathrup Village 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 Lathrup Village 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.
