“Thank you, Maddy! It’s nice to have someone to count on to be able to enjoy an evening out/away and to know Jake is being cared for the way he needs. We appreciate you!!”
“Bonnie is by far the best sitter we have ever had! She was so great with our boys and took extremely good care of them while we were away. She took the time to make sure they were loved and pampered, brushed them for us and even gave them adorable bandanas. She left our home cleaner then we left it and also took care of plants/brought packages inside. I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Bonnie!”
“Melissa was a great house sitter for our blind frenchie. He immediately accepted her into his home, which he does not often do with strangers. Melissa understood how to approach him and develop his trust. He quickly bonded with her and became her friend. She followed his basic schedule and adapted to his needs without any problems. She sent multiple photos throughout the evening. We felt comfortable leaving him in her care and would not hesitate to book her in the future!”
“Kate is amazing! She took great care of our Fiona, sent many updates with pictures and took wonderful care of our home. We highly recommend Kate for your dog/house sitting needs!!”
About: I have had pets since I was a baby. I love caring for animals and having them around. They bring true joy to my life . I have taken care of several different breeds of dogs and cats.I have had clients, that I cared for and also cared for their animals. I am accustomed to feeding, bathing, walking, cuddling, playing, and training dogs, cats, bunnies, and would consider exotic animals. I am truly a lover of all animals. They provide us with undconditional love and companionship. It is one of the best things life has to offer. I took in my amazing cat Ziggie who was a stray and drawn to me. He kept visiting us. He was truly a remarkable part of our family. We had him for 9 years and found out he had asthma, scar tissue on his lungs at the age of 5. The vet was unsure how long he would live for, but with treatments and lots of love he lived to be almost 14 years of age after fighting lymphoma. I learned to take care of a very special boy. He was so affectionate and came to me when I needed his companionship. I became use to giving him medications and having to monitor his condition daily with his cancer. It was tough but the first round of chemo, he kicked it. Then when it came back he got sick and deteriorated very quickly. It's very sad but I also remember the positivity and joy he left with me in my heart and memories. I've grown up with 3 different dogs and cared for them as a young girl, I developed such a wonderfdul bond with them. I care for my friend's puppy and train him when she needs a sitter. He stayed with us for 9 days when his owner went out of town. We trained him, fed, bathed, groomed, and walked this sweet little 4 month old Jack Russell. We just love him he is like a part of our family now and spends over night visitas with me. I have experience caring for birds, when I was a young girl I had 2 parakeets that I cared for. They were really great when they sat on my shoulder. It was quite amusing to me. Any opportunity to care for an animal warms my heart and creates a bond that is life long. I am thankful to have had so many wonderful opportunities to form such bonds. I am currrently working part time . I can arrange shifts around my schedule. This allows me more flexibility so I can work with animals. I have nice parks close to my home, that I can take pets to for their walks. I can do the same at your home. I can crate the pet when it is necessary.
“Hanna was absolutely wonderful with Gibson! She was so kind, responsive, and kept us updated throughout her stay with lots of pictures and updates. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Gibson was in great hands. We absolutely loved having her and would 100% have her dog sit again! 💛”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with hands on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During high school, I worked at an animal hospital where I learned about animal behavior, handling techniques, and the importance of providing attentive, individualized care. In addition to my experience, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through pet sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or anything in between, I’m committed to treating them like family. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular updates throughout the day. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care in a safe environment. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I’m home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and attention. I can also easily accommodate your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure their needs are met. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“We had such a great experience with Deena! She was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly loves animals. She was happy to meet our dogs beforehand, which really put our minds at ease. Everything went smoothly while we were away, and we came home to happy pups. Would absolutely book her again without hesitation!”
“Drew stayed in my home with my 2 boxers for a week and did a great job! She sent me updates and pictures everyday-it was so good to know that my dogs were being well taken care of, in their own home instead of a kennel. I would definitely call her again if needed!”
“Sarah was wonderful with Shelby while we were away! We could not have asked for a better in-home sitter for our dog and it was so nice to know she could be at home where she was comfortable.”
“Garrett was great! My dog was very well taken care of, and he kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay. I felt confident that my dog was in good hands, and I would definitely recommend him as a dog sitter.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Macomb on Rover is $38.85 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 1,660 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Macomb. 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 Macomb 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 Macomb 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 Macomb 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.
