“Richard was great with both of our dogs, especially our fearful girl. He was super understanding that she needed a bit of time to warm up. He took great care of our fur babies for the day and was so prompt with messages and arrival time. Thanks again!!”
“Finding Nicole was a major stress reliever after some last minute changes to plans required finding someone to watch my sweet little senior pup. She was very kind, understanding, and responsive from the moment I reached out through the end of the housing sitting appt. My 15 year old dog has a lengthy list of medications, an odd feeding scheduled, and is a bit slower these days. Nicole was able to connect with the skittish pup, manage all of her meds, meals, and occasional senior moments. I came home to a clean house, and most importantly, a happy and relaxed dog. I would definitely recommend Nicole for any of your Rover needs!”

Yes, indeed, I would use him again Blessings, Josh”

“Annamaria was great! My Dog was happy as can be and I know he received a lot of attention as she provided photos of him walking, eating, playing, etc., etc. I would absolutely book Annamaria again and I am sure we will in the future! Thank you for making my dog’s experience better than expected! We were happy to know he was in good hands.”
“Gracie was absolutely amazing with our two pups! We were given updates and pictures all throughout the day and never had to worry about a thing when we were out of town. We have used this service a lot and haven’t had anyone that can hold a candle to how great Gracie was! Will definitely be calling her again in the future!”
“Jillian was wonderful once again with Brisket! He’s only 2 days post neutering and she paid close attention to his needs and made sure he was comfortable! He was so excited to see her and he can’t wait to see her again!”
“Another really great sit with Hanan! This dog is well exercised and well fed. She took special pains to help rehab our dog's foot and was sensitive to her pain and abilities. And our previously anti-social dog is so glad to see her!”
“Maciyah was so great with my dogs and they were instantly comfortable with her during our meet and greet. I also hot tons of pictures during her stay and came home to a super happy dog, I highly recommend!”
“Melissa was great! She arrives on time and provides great communication and lots of pics and videos while babysitting. She’s very friendly and I felt my puppy was in very safe hands. I will definitely her again, and I highly recommend her.”

“Allie was so great with our 4 year old pittie mix! She took incredible care of both our pup and our home while we were gone and updated us throughout our trip. We will definitely be using Allie again and highly recommend her!”
“The (4!) pets were so at ease with Lauren, even our skittish boy cat. She sent me lots of pictures and expertly handled my mom's cat-reactive pup. I would feel perfectly comfortable leaving our pets with Lauren again!”
“Olivia was our first experience with Rover and having anyone watch our dog outside of our family. She made us feel comfortable the entire time and was great about sending at least a couple of updates everyday. Our dog ended up having unexpected stomach issues and Olivia handled it with ease even monitoring her and waking up with her in the middle of the night. She left the house cleaner than when we left. We cannot recommend Olivia enough!”
“Zoe stayed with my Dachshund for two days while I was on a work trip. She was excellent with Samson and completely attentive to our needs. She sent pictures and practiced excellent communication. It was truly a piece of mind to have her help. Her and samson became great friends and we look forward to using her services again:) Thanks Again, Zoe!”
“Karley is an awesome dog sitter. She watched our dogs for two weeks while we were traveling. She stayed at our home, cuddled with the dogs, and made sure they were safe and in their routine. We will definitely keep asking her to care for our pups!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs & cats my whole life and have always been comfortable caring for them, understanding their needs, personalities, and routines. Since I work from home, I have flexibility and availability during the day to provide attentive care and plenty of affection! I’m reliable, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for! I work from home, so my daily schedule is really flexible. I am available to stay with your pets during the day, or I can easily come over at any point or multiple times a day to check on them. I am also free most weekend I have three cats of my own, so I can't board pets at my house. However, I am more than happy to stay over at your place or do house sittings! Because I work from home, I am available throughout the day for walks or check ins to keep them on their routine
“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.”
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madison Heights
Katherine was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and she was the perfect fit. She watched our cat, Kirby, at our home for the weekend and took such great care of him. She kept us updated with lots of photos, followed everything we asked, and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
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!
Will took excellent care of my cat and home. He is a great communicator and I could tell he spent extra time playing with my cat as he was super chill. Will’s consideration for the details of my pet and home was noteworthy. His updates were exactly what I needed to relax away from home and my routine driven kitty 🐈⬛
Erica was absolutely amazing with Boone! Before her 11-day stay in our home, she took the time to get to know him so he would feel comfortable and secure before we left. That meant so much to us, especially because Boone is a rescue who’s still figuring out his place in the world. Throughout our trip, Erica stayed in constant communication, sending frequent texts and pictures that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that Boone was happy, loved, and well cared for. Erica is kind, trustworthy, dependable, and truly has a heart for animals. She made sure Boone felt safe and secure while we were away, and we came home to a relaxed, happy dog. She also went above and beyond in so many ways. She took our garbage out, watered our plants, stripped the bed sheets before she left—thoughtful touches that were never expected but were so appreciated after a long journey of traveling home. I highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. We will absolutely be using her again the next time Boone needs someone to love him while we’re away!

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 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 2,073 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.

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.
