“Mikayla took such great care of Athena and Enzo while we were away. It was obvious they were well loved and got plenty of playtime 😃. She sent lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip, which made being away from them so much easier. She was easy to communicate with, always kept us updated, and went above and beyond by feeding our fish and even checking on our butterflies. We came home to happy dogs and a home that was just as we left it. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’re so thankful we found Mikayla and will absolutely use her again. Highly recommend!”

“Cindy did an overnight for us and she was fantastic! She reached out with questions, which we appreciated as it ensured everyone was on track and being fed as they have come to expect. Cindy also responded to my text messages. The only evidence I had she was here is the toilet seat was up. :-) Cindy left the house in fantastic condition.”

“It was great having Skyler watch our dog! He was very well cared for and looks like he got lot of love. Skyler spent a lot of time with our pup which was a plus as well. They left our house clean and followed all the instructions we left for our dog. We got updates with pictures while we were away as well. We would absolutely recommend Skyler and would love to rebook with them next time we need someone to house sit.”

About: I am a dog lover who loves to meet more pets! I have 2 Westies and we spend hours outside each day in the yard or walking at a park. I am here to help whether you are gone for just a few hours or for weeks at a time. I have no problem allowing the dogs to run free in our house, or stop by to check on your pet in your house. As a pet lover, I will care for your pet as I do mine, and they are spoiled! I am home almost all the time. I wander around our 3 acres and love to garden. I take my dogs for a walk almost daily. I am with the dogs almost all the time. If I have to go run an errand, I can crate them. They are allowed on the furniture with me.

“Isabelle house sat for us on short notice, looking after a cat and a dog. She gave us regular updates, asked questions when she had any, and kept tabs on a dog with dietary issues who was just getting over the flu. Our house was cleaner when we got home than it was when we left it. Highly recommended.”

We couldn't ask for a more responsive sitter, who shares daily updates with us and provides the best possible care to our sweet but sometimes complicated pittie. Flora always loves when Lillie comes to stay, and we always know she's in excellent hands. Highly recommended.”

About: Pet Sitting Profile I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I’m always happiest when I get the chance to care for them! I’m moving back to Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 15, and I’m hoping to buy a home in the summer of 2027. In the meantime, I’ll be staying with relatives, so pet sitting and house sitting feel like a great way for us to help each other. I can earn some extra money toward my future home while getting to spend time with some amazing animals, and you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands. A little about me: I’m 35, gay, and a friendly, responsible professional who works in hotel sales. I’ll be working fully remote, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be available and give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a 3-year-old large dog will be getting to vacation at his grandparents. Thankfully, my parents will be helping care for him. which allows me to take on pet sitting and house sitting opportunities. My experience with animals goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve had two saltwater aquariums with fish, corals, anemones, and more, as well as a large freshwater aquarium that I maintained for years. Growing up, I also owned several reptiles and have experience helping care for chickens, ducks, and other animals. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, aquarium care, or simply someone trustworthy around while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I genuinely enjoy animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I am relocating back home to Grand Rapids on September 15 and I will be working in a fully remote capacity from 10:30am-6pm. I will have a very flexible schedule and no commitments outside of work so last minute needs are easy to accommodate. I do travel for work periodically but that will get communicated well in advance. I have my travels through April on my availability already. I am most comfortable caring for the pets in their own environment. I will be living with relatives upon my return so cannot care for animals in my home unless there is a specific situation that is discussed in advance. I’ve watched relatives and friends pets for years and I am comfortable in many different housing situations!

“Danielle was wonderful. This was my first time having her care for my 2 Doxie’s and they loved her. I had no concerns about leaving them with her after our first meeting. They can be quite a handful and Danielle was able to keep them happy the whole time. Even though we had difficulties with international communications, Danielle kept me updated and sent pics of my pups. I would definitely recommend Danielle to anyone needing pet care. Thank you Danielle!!”

About: I provide small-scale, individualized pet care with a focus on keeping each pet safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. I’ve been providing pet care since 2012, beginning with house sitting and eventually expanding my experience to include operating my own pet-care business. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, energy levels, and needs-from energetic puppies and social butterflies to seniors and dogs who need a little extra time and patience to feel comfortable. I intentionally keep the number of pets in my care limited so I can get to know each one as an individual. I pay close attention to body language, play styles, rest needs, feeding routines, medications, and all the little quirks that make each pet unique. I offer daycare and boarding in my home, as well as house sitting and drop-in care in clients’ homes. For pets who are happiest in familiar surroundings, in-home care allows them to maintain their usual environment and routine while their family is away. My goal isn’t simply to keep your pet occupied until you return. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re in attentive hands. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I provide daycare Monday through Friday and boarding based on availability, intentionally keeping my client numbers small so each dog receives plenty of individual attention, supervision, playtime, and rest. I also offer house sitting for pets who are happiest staying in their own home. Because I may have daycare clients during the day, house-sitting pets should be comfortable with me being away during my normal working hours. When appropriate and arranged in advance, some house-sitting dogs may also be able to accompany me to daycare. I limit bookings and coordinate my schedule carefully so I can maintain each pet’s normal feeding, potty, exercise, medication, and bedtime routines. My goal is to provide reliable care without overbooking myself or compromising the attention any pet receives. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. In my home, dogs are supervised and introduced thoughtfully rather than simply placed together. I keep my number of clients intentionally small, which allows me to monitor interactions, recognize when a dog needs a break, and provide separate spaces for feeding, resting, or decompression when needed. My home has a securely fenced 6-foot yard for supervised outdoor time. I also have secure containment options available when needed and never assume that a new dog can safely be left loose with other dogs. Each new family begins with a Meet & Greet so I can learn about your dog’s personality, play style, routine, boundaries, and any behaviors I should be aware of before their first stay. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the household and pet-care instructions provided to me as closely as possible. I respect your pet’s established routine as well as your home, including instructions regarding doors, gates, walks, feeding, medications, sleeping arrangements, and home security. I’m also careful about entry and exit to help prevent escapes. Whether your pet stays with me or I stay with them, I believe good care means paying attention. I monitor behavior, appetite, energy level, bathroom habits, interactions, and overall comfort and will communicate with you if I notice something unusual. My goal is to provide an environment where both you and your pet can feel secure and comfortable.

About: I love all dogs very much! I have always had a dog my entire life and I think I always will! I am a very active person so I will play and walk as long as your dog desires! I used to nanny quite often in 2019 and 2020 but things got busy when I got pregnant again so I’m ready to jump back in and take care of your pets! I am available Monday-Thursday 9am-11am and some afternoons sometimes and some Saturdays sporadically. I know how to cuddle, play, run, and love your babies as much as you do! They will be very well loved and taken care of as I have 2 dogs and one kitty of my own and I have 3 kids who love animals! I am a SAHM and pick up my kiddos at different times so I’m on the road a bit which is perfect so I can come and help out your fur babies! I always keep a very close eye on your furry friends and will make sure they are safe at all times! I love to give animals love and attention that they need!

About: I was born with no hands but that has never ever stopped me!! I've owned pups most my life! Big and small! I've taken many on tons of walks! I enjoy playing with them and feeding them treats! Sunday: 5pm-10pm Monday-Friday: Depends on work schedule at Daycare Saturday: Free all day I also do Vacations so if you want to leave for a week, I can take care of them but I'll still have to leave for work which would at most be 5 hours! I've stayed nights at places as well but I won't if you're uncomfortable with that! Whatever you want! I am not doing in home care at this time. My kitty would be very very mad at me. Some day I'll look into it!

About: I’m passionate when it comes to working with animals and if there’s any special requests that need to be met, I’ll make sure they're taken care of. I've been around dogs and cats since childhood and know the importance of making sure they're cared for while family is away. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to reach out. I’m accepting new clients now and am flexible when it comes to scheduling. I work part time at my other job and always keep Rover active in my calendar. I don't travel out of town much so last minute bookings will work for me. Communication is key to creating a care schedule that works for you and your furry friend. I'm detail-oriented in all environments I'm in. This means your pets will always have an extra pair of eyes to keep them safe wherever they go. I build trust with my clients and their furry friends by being reliable, honest and accountable. Sending pictures or messaging any concerns I may have about your pet is one way I build this with my clients.

FAQs for House Sitting - Middleville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Middleville is $55 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $79 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 1,055 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Middleville. 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 Middleville 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 Middleville 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 Middleville 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 Middleville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
