“Our three dogs were so happy and well cared for in our home. Two are senior dogs, so it is such a blessing for them to stay at home with a loving sitter while we were away. Everything was safe and clean and beautifully taken care of. Julie is a fabulous dog/house sitter!”
“We had Gen stay at our house for 4 days to watch our dog Stout and she did a great job! Stout bonded with her instantly and he didn't have any change in diet or mood when we were gone. We would definitely recommend her and plan on using her again!”
About: I have been taking care of friends and family pets for many years. It is something that I enjoy, so I thought I would try doing it for others. Since my retirement I have had a very flexible schedule. I'm retired, so I have a very flexible schedule and can be available to dog sit with just a few days notice from the client. I would care for your pets as if they were a part of my family. I would follow the schedule provided for me by the client who I'm working for and do everything possible to make the pet comfortable and happy.
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.
“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.
“Kumar was professional, reliable, and provided excellent care for my home and pets while my family was on vacation. His frequent photos and updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to truly relax and enjoy my trip.”
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 am currently in college where I am in classes from 8am to between 12pm-2pm. During school, my mornings start around 6am 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.
“Shayla is a true animal lover and we were more than happy to have chose her to watch our pets(: She sent us pictures daily and the animals were obviously well taken care of when we arrived back home from vacay. I would definitely recommend her and I would very likely hire her again if possible.”
“Lilly was wonderful and treated our pets like her own! She filled in on short notice so we could shamelessly attend a family wedding out of state. She was a great communicator and sent pictures regularly. We would highly recommend her in the future.”
About: One of the best things about life is our pets. I grew up with three dogs who were my bffs, and I have several friends who have cats. I have tons of experience with house and pet sitting for long durations (several weeks at a time). I am responsible, clean, detail-oriented, and love taking dogs on walkies! Every pet I sit for, I treat as my own and shower them with love and snuggles! I currently work part-time at Home Depot as a cashier and part-time at Olive Garden as a server. If I'm not working, I'm usually watching a movie or show, reading a book, writing poetry, or going on a walk and enjoying this beautiful summer weather! I am constantly tending to what the angel- I mean pet- needs. Whether it's a potty break, a little treat, dinner, a snuggle, I am on the job!
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life, with experience ranging from dogs, cats, and rabbits to ferrets, birds, hamsters, and all kinds of farm animals. I also grew up maintaining a 400-gallon fish tank that included a wide variety of fish and even small freshwater sharks, giving me a strong understanding of aquatic care. I genuinely love animals of all kinds and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have raised two very active 100+ lb German Shepherd/Lab mixes since they were puppies, so I am confident handling large, high-energy dogs. Despite my size, I am fully capable of managing and guiding strong animals safely and effectively. I am happy to assist with all aspects of pet care, including long walks, feeding, bathing, playtime, and providing plenty of attention and affection. I am also comfortable caring for pets of all ages and administering medications when needed (with prior instructions). Additionally, I have long-term experience(10+ years) caring for a Bengal cat with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), which has given me hands-on experience with specialized care and medication routines. I am currently a student at Central Michigan University and work part-time with a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available for both daytime visits and overnight stays in your home. I strongly believe pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I strive to maintain their routine while providing consistent care and companionship. I am always happy to provide extra references or additional information to help you feel confident and comfortable. I also maintain a respectful, non-judgmental approach to every home and will always leave your space in the same condition as when I arrived. So never be afraid of how your space might look!
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.
“Lucy is very sweet. She was very responsive and attentive to our animals needs. She sent pictures and was great at communicating with us while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out to Lucy again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Pleasant
Our three dogs were so happy and well cared for in our home. Two are senior dogs, so it is such a blessing for them to stay at home with a loving sitter while we were away. Everything was safe and clean and beautifully taken care of. Julie is a fabulous dog/house sitter!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Mount Pleasant on Rover is $38.85 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 115 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.
