“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!”
“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!”
“Genesis did an incredible job watching our pets and home! She sent daily updates which included pictures and videos, was extremely respectful of our property, and was clear on all communication. We have a 14 year old dog and an asthmatic 8 year old cat, and I didn’t worry about them at all while she was here. Genesis competently administered their daily supplements, and our shy cat was even comfortable enough to let her give him his inhaler on day two of her stay! I would highly recommend this dependable, extremely caring, and delightful young woman to anyone who is looking for top notch professional and loving care for their pets.”
“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.”
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, cats, any animal. I currently live in an apartment and have adopted two kittens and a bearded dragon. 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 great with our dogs. She stayed the weekend at our house. We received daily updates and pics of the pups. Great communication and would highly recommend. We’ll look for her again next time we need a sitter.”
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 am currently a full-time grad student and graduate assistant at Central Michigan University. 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 some fresh air! 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!
“Madeline was absolutely wonderful while house sitting and caring for my cat, Sawyer. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy—checking in often with updates, photos, and thoughtful details. I really appreciated how flexible she was with her own schedule to accommodate Sawyer’s routine and make sure he was never left wanting for attention. It gave me total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Pleasant
Lilly and our dogs (three) had a great time together. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. We were so relieved to have someone care for our furbabies like we would. When we got home our doggos were so excited to see us. They were happy and that was worth it totally- they never seem this way when we get them from the kennel. Thank you Lilly!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Mount Pleasant is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $67 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.

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 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.

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.
