“Genevieve was so great with our dogs. She made sure to understand our dogs needs beforehand, was very communicative while we were away, and sent tons of pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Kylie stayed with our two cats for two weeks while we were out of town. One of our cats requires oral medication twice daily. Kylie did this easily. She communicated with us and sent daily pictures of our babies. Also, at the end of the stay she went above and beyond to wash the sheets, towels, and ran the dishwasher.”
“Tess is great! My two dogs clearly were loved by the look from all the pictures she sent me. The house is as clean as I left it and she communicated the whole time I was gone. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“From the moment I met Grace I just had a feeling that Milllie would be well taken care of! The second she walked through the door her focus of attention was on Millie. I needed her on very short notice and she was there for me. I trusted her completely with Millie and would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Will did an amazing job with our puppy Reesey and kitty Lindy! He was great about keeping us updated on how they were doing and sent tons of pics! We left for the weekend and trusted him to stay at our house, would do it again if needed!”
“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!”
“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.”
“We hired Erin to watch our dog, and stay at our home, for a few days while we were on a backpacking trip. She took excellent care of our girl and sent many photo updates! Our dog looked happy in every picture - I can tell she got to go on car rides, lots of walks, and Erin even took our dog to play with another dog in the neighborhood. We would 100% use Erin again in the future!”
“Jillian is our go to pet sitter when we travel! Her communication is great, and her daily report cards are assuring that our dogs are well taken care of. Our dogs (large breed 120 lb each) LOVE her!! You should absolutely entrust her with your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have experience with multiple types of dogs. I used to watch my roommates dog everyday. I also have watched my friends dogs as well who is a puppy. I’m currently work so no time for a dog of my own, but want to spend time giving love to dogs in my free time! I live in a house with a fenced in backyard. There is so open space for them to run around in. It is a dog friendly neighborhood with a dog park nearby.
About: With over 10 years of professional dog walking experience, I’ve had the privilege of building deep bonds with both dogs and their owners. The moment I arrive, tails wag, and owners smile, knowing their pup is in caring, experienced hands. I provide not just exercise, but love, enrichment, and a calm reassurance that brings owners back time and time again. Let me help your dog feel adored every step of the way! As a dedicated dog walker with 10 years of experience, my days and weeks revolve around the joy of caring for dogs. Each morning, I design custom walks and enrichment activities that fit each pup’s personality, while my flexible days let me accommodate both regular clients and new furry friends. Whether it’s a morning power walk or an evening stroll, I bring consistency, care, and a deep love for each dog I walk, ensuring they—and their owners—feel confident and happy every step of the way. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every dog in my care. With over 10 years of experience as a dog walker, I know how vital trust, routine, and a secure space are for every pup. Whether I’m caring for them in their home or on a walk, I honor their daily routines, exercise needs, and individual personalities. I ensure each dog feels safe, loved, and excited for every visit, so both you and your pup can have complete peace of mind.
“Veronica was pleasantly easy to work with. Followed all instructions, my house clean the way I left it and my cat very calm when I got home. Responsive, sent the perfect amount of pictures. Will book again.”
About: I've been raised with cats my whole life and currently have several fur babies. I also have pet rats. Experienced caregiver to both. My parents have dogs and cats and I have experience with handling larger dogs and caring for small animals in general. I Currently work full time, Monday through Fri day 9am-6pm so would primarily be available Friday evening through Monday morning. I there is an emergency or if you have adequate office accomodations at your place of residence I would consider weekday availability on a case-by-case basis as I work remotely, usually from home. I would prefer instructions on what is needed for each pet; location of food, any special dietary or medical needs, playtime preferences, any particular routines or behaviors that are important or would make them feel comfortable.
“Emily was great with my 2 dogs while I was away for business travel. She stayed at my house to provide care and was very good about communicating updates in the form of photos, videos, and texting! I can tell she feels comfortable and confident working with dogs of various sizes and personalities! Emily seemed to truly care about and enjoy spending time with my fur babies. They got lots of walks, playtime and cuddles! Emily was respectful of my home and followed all care instructions that I provided. She did have several personal obligations where she needed to leave for a short bit, but let me know when she needed to be gone. I felt good about knowing that Emily was there while I could not be home. I would recommend her services to other pet parents!”
“Amalie is amazing! This was our second time using her and we have already booked her for our next trip away! The house was left incredibly clean and Isla is always so happy while we’re away! It’s so nice having the peace of mind while we travel, Thanks Amalie!”
“Rhiannon was terrific! She cared for our dogs and home with great care and wonderful communication. Meant the world to us to receive regular updates with happy dog photos. She was flexible and quick to respond. Great experience!”

Kylie was amazing!!! One of our dogs was going thru heat while Kylie was watching them and she took such good care of her and our other girl as well! They were also having some digestion issues and Kylie cleaned up a couple messes and gave full reports every night. She was absolutely amazing, will definitely be using her again!! Kylie took great care of our house and is so nice and sweet, she really cares about animals as if they were her own! She’s the best🫶🏼
We had a great experience! Taylor took wonderful care of our pets and kept us updated throughout our trip with photos and messages, which we really appreciated. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned home, and the house was left in great condition. We felt very comfortable knowing everything was well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely call on Taylor for our future pet sitting needs!
This was our first time using a Rover sitter, and I feel so lucky that we found Meredith! She watched our dog Duke while we were away getting married. She was so patient and was willing to work with us leading up to the house sitting stay. She took Duke on weekly walks to ensure he was comfortable with her. We really appreciate her taking the time to make sure we were all comfortable. Duke is usually very nervous meeting new people, but he seemed to instantly warm up her to calm and friendly personality. Which was such a relief to us! During the stay she provided regular updates on how Duke was doing, and brought in packages, and even cleaned up after a shelf fell in our basement. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to take care of our boy and keep our minds at ease while we enjoyed our wedding weekend. We’ll definitely book with Meredith in the future!
I am so glad that Jordyn was able to take care of my puppy Moses while I was away for the weekend. I am very confident he had just as much fun at home with her there to care for him. Super responsive, communicative, and present for the whole weekend, I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook!
Allison watched my two Australian shepherds for a short weekend getaway and she was great! She sent a few photo and video updates and it was very obvious the dogs had a ton of fun playing and cuddling with her. She was also very responsive. Will for sure book with her again!
Katie was the best Rover sitter ever! She took amazing care of my pups, walked them every day, sent me a ton of cute pictures :) I truly never felt worried about my pups in her care. We did a meet and greet before, she was available on short notice. Very happy and will use her again for future bookings! So glad to have found her.
We have had nothing but the best experiences with Aden dog sitting (twice now). We received regular updates with pics and both of our dogs looked happy and relaxed. Our dogs are older and can get anxious, so it is always very reassuring to see them happy with a sitter- we really couldn’t ask for better care and communication than we have found with Aden! Thanks again!! ✨💕
Lauren is great! I booked Lauren to watch my dogs& cat while in Alaska. Last minute, I needed additional days and she was able to accommodate. We lost power for a couple days and she went above & beyond by offering to bring my freezer food & my pets to her house for some AC. My pets loved her and she gave frequent updates. The house was spotless when I got home and she even offered to wash the sheets before I got home from vacation. My dog recently had 14 teeth removed and she was cautious and checked them for me without being asked. I can’t recommend her enough!
Jodi was a very attentive sitter, she messaged me with any questions or concerns, sent pictures of my pets and kept me updated throughout! The house was just as I left it and most importantly the animals were HAPPY when I came home. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Madison Heights is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 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 2,030 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Madison Heights. 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 Madison Heights 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 Madison Heights 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Madison Heights 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.
