“Michelle cared for my 2 fur babies (Shih Tzus) for a week. She kept in constant contact via text, pictures and went out of her way to allow me and them to feel comfortable. My home was just as I left it, sparkling clean. I would definitely request her again!!!”

“I highly recommend Tiffany. She was wonderful with my cat, Sweetie PIe!! Sweetie PIe is mainly an outdoor cat. She is a bit skittish and distrustful of people she doesn't know so it can be a challenge for a new person to try to take care of her. Tiffany was great. She checked on her regularly and made sure that Sweetie PIe had food and water and kept me well informed on how Sweetie PIe was doing. I enjoyed my trip so much more knowing what good care Sweetie PIe was getting. I will definitely be calling Tiffany again to take care of Sweetie Pie when I go out of town!”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Patty as our dog sitter for our two pets while we were away for an event over two days, and we couldn't be more pleased with her service. Patty was absolutely amazing with our dogs. She kept us up to date with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Not only did she take excellent care of their basic needs, but she also kept them entertained and happy throughout her stay. It was evident that she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. We highly recommend Patty to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”

About: Growing up I always wanted a pet for my own and I finally got my first puppy at 10 yrs old. I really think that helped me be responsible. And have so much love for pets I take of my pets like if they were my children. Whenever I have free time I like to help others with there pets. I don’t have a job right now so I can work any hours of the week. Full time would be much better, and preferred I have a flexible schedule. I try to build trust with people pets if they seem uncomfortable I try my best to get them out of their shell but I won’t force them to do anything they don’t want to

“Jessica was a Godsend. Due to a last minute sitter cancellation that left me scrambling for a long work trip, I found Jessica. Then right before my trip, my pup got an injury. I walked through everything with Jessica and with her prior experience caring for fosters, I knew he was in the right hands while I was away. She took amazing care of my guy, kept me up to date on everything and sent loads of pictures of my guy. I am forever grateful for the care she provided while I was away for an extended period and helping Beckham recover from his injury. Highly recommend booking with Jessica!”

About: I have had my doggy since I was 17! She has been with me through a lot! I love animals and enjoy meeting new ones and bonding with them! Sometimes I have a really flexible schedule and can work with whatever your schedule needs may be. My schedule can change from week to week. So it’s best to reach out. I typically am free most days during the day. Late nights can be arranged. Child free home. I have 1 dog and 1 cat. The cat will be separate from other animals. She likes to stay in her space.

About: Hey, I’m Cassidy! I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 5 years before transitioning into pet sitting full time, and I’ve cared for animals my entire life. Between my vet assistant background, my own pets, and years of hands-on pet care, I’m comfortable caring for pups and kitties of different ages, sizes, personalities, routines, and medical needs. I currently offer house sitting and drop-in visits, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home while still getting the care, attention, and routine they’re used to. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, meals, medication, snuggles, potty breaks, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and your home. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, keep you updated with photos and messages, and help with small home tasks like bringing in mail, watering plants, or keeping things tidy while you’re gone. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I want them to feel like their routine stayed familiar, their needs were met, and they had a friend looking out for them the whole time. Feel free to reach out with any questions or details about your pet’s routine- I’d love to learn more about them and see if we’d be a good fit! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. For house sitting, I’m able to spend plenty of time with your pets in their own home and keep their routine as normal as possible. For drop-in visits, I make sure each visit includes whatever your pet needs most — meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, litter box care, or just some extra love and attention. I do step out for errands, appointments, and occasional outings, but I always plan my schedule around the pets in my care and their specific needs. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently house sitting and drop-in visits and I love that this allows pets to stay in their familiar environment, stick to their normal routines, and feel more comfortable while their people are away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely and treat your space with respect. I’m mindful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, medications, and any house rules you have in place. During outdoor time, I always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re going for a walk, having supervised yard time, or taking a quick potty break. My goal is to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving you peace of mind with updates along the way.

About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have had dog pets most of my life. My fur baby recently passed and I would rather love others than get another. Pets are the treasures of the planet! I'm currently working full-time and looking for something to fill my spare time. No better way then to spend it with pets. I am available all days with flexible times. My home is on a large piece of property and has fences from bordering properties, but is not fully enclosed. However, no pets will be outside unsupervised. In order to keep your pets safe I would leash walk them.

About: I love everything about animals! When it comes to Cats and Dogs they are such great companions and I truly enjoy seeing an animal that is pleased and satisfied with my care, as well as their owners and I will do everything to make sure that happens, I have had professional experience working for a doggie daycare business. I of course am a pet owner myself and know what its like to have to trust someone else to take care of your beautiful pet. I very much value that trust and and take the time to learn different tricks and techniques to provide the best care possible for any type of dog or cat that I could possibly encounter on a day to day basis. I am sure that I can provide a valuable service to you. I work Part-Time, and I keep a flexible schedule so I will have no issue fitting any commitments into my calendar and I always maintain clear communication. Based on discussions with the client I will give as much attention to the animal as possible during service including playing with or without toys, walks, bathroom breaks, Feeding, Cuddles etc. based on the desire of the animal.

FAQs for House Sitting - Micro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Micro is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $59 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 November 2026, there are 1,152 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Micro. 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 Micro 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 Micro 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 Micro 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Micro. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
