“Paula was fantastic! She kept us updated daily on our dogs and cat. We came home and everyone was fantastic! was She was prompt and at our house when she said she would be. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much Paula!”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Haley. I have high standards for my own dogs’ care and Haley exceeded them. She was communicative, thorough, and I was able to enjoy my weekend away without worrying about my dogs. I will absolutely book with Haley again!”
“Kelsey was great house sitting with our dog Luka for a weekend - he got plenty of exercise and was well taken care of! Our house was very clean when we returned as well, would definitely recommend!!”
“Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!”
“Alyssa is truly amazing!!! We are on a mini vacation and due to anxiety issues with one of our two dogs, we were unable to leave our room due to this. Alyssa stepped up to the plate last minute and saved the day. Our dogs instantly fell in love with her. We will without a doubt be using her again.”
About: I have been caring for a wide variety of animals my whole life, from cats to horses to dogs of all sizes! Large breeds are my specialty, as I have grown up around Great Danes, Saint Bernards, and Newfoundlands my entire life, and feel very comfortable handling them. I have cared for many senior and small breed dogs as well, so your pets will receive the upmost care no matter the age or size! I love working with as many unique personalities and animals as I possibly can, and will work tirelessly to make sure they receive the care they need. My schedule is often very open, especially during the summer when classes are out, so I will communicate well to work around YOUR schedule! I will do what it takes to get your pets the care they need when they need it. Safety is priority number one when it comes to caring for pets, for both me and the animals. I am sure to follow whatever instructions are given to me to the strictest degree so you don't have to worry about your pets safety while you're away. When going for walks I always maintain firm a firm hold on the leash, even with bigger dogs. I have been walking with large breeds such as Saint Bernards and Great Danes for over a decade, so I feel very comfortable remaining in control. I always carry pepper spray with me as well, just as an absolute last resort in the very rare chance that anything would happen.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up with dogs and had them as part of my family for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from gentle Bullmastiffs to energetic Beagles and everything in between. Being around dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to caring for my own dogs throughout my life, I’m often the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone reliable to look after their pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure your dog feels safe and comfortable while you’re away, I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’m currently working full time until the end of June then I will be back in school, making my schedule much more flexible. My mornings right now start at 5am and I get home from work anytime between 3-6pm. During school, my mornings start around 7am and I can be home multiple times a day and home for the night no later than 3pm. I understand that pets are happiest and most comfortable in their own environment, which is why I take great care when looking after pets in their homes. My goal is to maintain their normal routine, provide plenty of attention and companionship, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you're away. I am respectful of both your pet and your home, ensuring feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions are followed carefully. I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your furry family member, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Micki is a wonderful and dependable care giver! Our gsd puppy was going into heat and she made sure she was very comfortable and having fun while we were gone. She sent me very detailed updates, which I requested. She left our home cleaner than we left it and we have already hired her again for more care!”
About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. Their personalities and idiosyncrasies are so interesting for me to uncover. I would love to get to know your fur babies also. I am extremely fortunate that I was able to retire from full-time employment and am presently employed part-time during the spring, summer, and fall months. I have lots of free time, and I like to stay active w/ my pets. I am passionate about animal safety and welfare. In Michigan's non-sub zero weather, I love walking my dog and cats - in their stroller - to ensure they all get daily exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. My pets are my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I have two cats, Ginger & Lucy, and a dog named Purdy. Ginger & Lucy are indoor cats, and I have a stroller that they love to ride in on walks. My dog loves her walks in the park, woods, and playing at the dog park (when there are very few to no other dogs there). My dog is dog & cat friendly, although she is young and sometimes likes to play too rough for the kitties. We handle this with baby gates and bridges so the cats can still move around the house with ease.
About: Hi! I have been around and caring for animals for 15 years. Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs every week. I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment and have adopted two kittens. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.
“Sydney was amazing! We felt very comfortable and confident that our dogs and home would be well taken care of as she house sat for us while we were away on vacation. We would definitely recommend her services and hope to have her back for future needs as well.”
About: I have grown up living with and caring for animals. I have taken care of animals at all life stages from young puppies/kittens to senior dogs/cats. I have administered medicine and have attention for details and care with specific pet needs. I am patient and am willing to work with most any pet! I currently have 3 cats who are my babies. I've worked with small dogs and frequently handle dogs up to 100lbs. I love the outdoors and making sure your family members have the best care possible while you are away! I would love to get to know your pets! I'm currently incredibly flexible with my schedule. As long as I have adequate notice I will be available most any day! I am used to caring for pets all day everyday. I can am willing to accommodate whatever care your pet needs to be comfortable, safe and cared for why you are away. I treasure animals like family and I can assure that they will be well looked after.
“I’m very hesitant to have people watch my dog Jake but after 10 minutes of meeting Lane I knew she would be great! Her experience really sets her apart. I’m so grateful to have found someone that I completely trust to watch him. Lane is fantastic!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.
About: I'm a responsible college student with two years of dog walking experience and a lifelong love for animals. I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals, so caring for pets is second nature to me. Would love to help take care of your furry family members. Reliable, friendly, and always on time! I am a college student at Central Michigan University and seeking extra jobs. I am flexible for hours and want to fit into your schedule! As someone who grew up on a farm, I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from feeding and grooming to walking and just spending quality time with them. I have my own cat that’s an orange tabby, and I spend a lot of time with my big family, who have multiple pets that I help care for regularly. I love walking animals, giving them baths, and even making homemade treats when I can! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and happy. I make sure they’re fed, walked, given attention, and kept safe—just like I would with my own. I’m attentive, patient, and truly love being around animals.

Micki is a wonderful and dependable care giver! Our gsd puppy was going into heat and she made sure she was very comfortable and having fun while we were gone. She sent me very detailed updates, which I requested. She left our home cleaner than we left it and we have already hired her again for more care!
Jane was amazing! I have two rambunctious pups who are weary of people and they both loved her. She played with them and let them live their best life while I was away. I don’t think they even noticed I was gone. Super communicative, lots of pictures sent and great in general!
Shoutout to Jason for being the BEST dog sitter we’ve had in our 8 years of having dogs! We found him last minute a few days before our 8 day vacation when we had a last minute sitter cancellation, and he graciously stayed with our two dogs in our home while we were away. He was an excellent communicator the entire time (daily+ pupdates!), was flexible with a few plan changes we experienced, and was so kind and professional. In every photo Jason sent our pups looked so comfortable! Would trust/recommend Jason hands down ten times over for anyone wanting to ensure their fur babies are in excellent caring hands while you’re away enjoying your travels - we didn’t have to worry about a thing! Thank you Jason!!!
We have used Cher a couple times to watch and feed our dog and she has been great to work with. I appreciate that she sent pictures of our dog Max and kept us in the loop of how he is doing. As long as she is available we will continue to have her help us. Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Mount Pleasant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Pleasant on Rover is $35.52 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 117 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Pleasant. 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 Mount Pleasant 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 Mount Pleasant 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 Mount Pleasant 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
