Rebekkah is an awesome sitter. We have 2 anxious little dogs and a cat. Her most recent visit was a long weekend house-sit and she sent some lovely photos and videos with her daily updates. Our pups remembered her from her last visit and were so excited to see her again! We cannot wait for our next trip 'cause we know they will be in good hands with Rebekkah!
Mahina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care for my German shepherd for a week while I was away. She sent updates multiple times every day which gave me such peace of mind and my dog seemed to be truly happy with her 😍🐾 my dog had tummy problems one day and Mahina didn’t hesitate to make sure she was all right!! I could not recommend Mahina enough - 1000/10
Our cats have always been very shy around new people, but Aurora was able to coax them out in almost no time during our initial meeting. Throughout the week, she sent us regular updates with plenty of pictures, and with each one we could tell that they were completely comfortable with how naturally they were acting. On top of taking excellent care of our cats and the house, she was also great with our bearded dragon, making sure she got her regular meals (bugs included) and checking her comfort level frequently. We would absolutely recommend Aurora to everyone who wants to make sure their pets have a genuine animal lover looking after them!
Anjana was fabulous! We had her watch our big guy over the weekend while we were away and her communication was phenomenal, she took care of our big guy like her own and respected our home as well! She even made the cutest videos with our dog! Our kids absolutely loved them (as did we!!) and kept asking to watch them again and for more! We will definitely have Anjana back again! Thank you so much!!
Laingly, is an awesome sitter. My 2 German Shorthaired Pointers absolutely adore her. She had to take one to the vet during the stay and had to give him medication, Never a complaint from her at all. he is definitely a conscientious sitter and really loves dogs! We will invite her to sit for our 2 high energy dogs again!
Amazing job watching our Winnie! Thank you so very much to Emily for all the care given to our girl. Great communication and feedback during her stay and lots of pics to keep us up to date on how Winnie was doing while we were gone. Couldn’t be happier and will definitely be using Emily again. ❤️🐾 Winnie and her family!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Livonia is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $76 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 2,375 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Livonia. 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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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.
