Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madison Heights
Our dog is super reactive to new people given his abusive past, but Taylor brought out a side of our dog we have never seen before. She was patient and he picked up on how loving and caring she was and he literally never freaked out at her. He was giving her kisses the first time they met and it made my dog-mom heart so happy. I knew we made a great decision for a pet sitter. She texted us updates and hung out with our dog and cat (even our cat does not come out of hiding with new people but our cat was literally coming up to her for cuddles-who are these animals?!). But seriously, she is THE BEST OF THE BEST and we will only be using her from now on!!
Aden was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we reached out he was responsive and communicative. During our trip Aden sent regular updates and pictures that gave us complete peace of mind. He handled unexpected visitors at our front door like a pro—even with our reactive dogs—and kept us informed the entire time, even when we weren’t checking our phones right away. On top of taking such great care of our pups, he left our home spotless and was an exceptionally respectful houseguest. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to Aden again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Rhiannon was amazing! She gave detailed updates, managed a complicated medication schedule with ease, and went above and beyond to make my nervous pup feel comfortable while I was gone. I came back to a clean home and happy pets. I would recommend Rhiannon's services and look forward to booking with her again.
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!
Hannah was so wonderful with our dog, Ernie! She left our house exactly as she found it and was so communicative. We felt so much more relaxed knowing he was in good hands. She was so sweet and responsible with his needs and medications. She was responsive and flexible even when we had a power line fall while we were away. We will definitely rebook!
Emily was awesome!!! They were so relaxed and content when I got back from my trip I could immediately tell they were well cared for and got plenty of exercise and playtime. She sent tons of photos and updates and left my house spotless. I even think my dogs are World Cup Fans now!!! Will repeat
Jaden helped me out so much, I had an emergency out of town and on such quick notice she was able to watch my dogs for me. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me plenty of photos and videos, and my dogs never have never been happier. I would definitely recommend Jaden and use again for future sittings.
We were going to Scotland for 14 days and leaving my very babied English Bulldog for the first time . I was very anxious to leave her but found the most amazing person ever and it made the trip so much easier for us !! Meredith is sooo loving and kind and cared for my baby like I would have ! Playing with her giving her medicine and dealing with all her little weird quirks 😊 she updated me every day and I never saw my dog so happy with anyone !! She was loving ever minute with Meredith and it made my heart happy ❤️ She also took such great care of our house and pool ! Above and beyond what I could of asked for !! She is just a wonderful human being who truly loves her job and animals and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!! It made our trip so wonderful not having that worry and seeing our dog playing and happy and being loved just as we would have loved her 🥰 it was the best experience ever and she will be the first person I contact anytime we need a sitter from now on !!! ❤️
Richard was a fantastic dog sitter for our boy, Buddy! He was very communicative, reliable, and punctual throughout our trip. Buddy was happy, relaxed, and content when we got home, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Richard to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Richard, for taking such great care of Buddy! 🐾😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Madison Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Madison Heights on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,096 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.
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 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 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
