“Autummn was great! She’s our go-to sitter and takes such great care of our two pups, one being a senior boy of 14 years. Great communication and daily photos and updates to know all is going well.”
“10/10 highly recommend! She left my home in better shape than when I had left. Even my babies were better than when I left. My tomatoes were doing poorly, but when I came home they were green with full leaves again. My dog was limping from a pulled muscle and when I came home she was doing better! I'm also super impressed that she kept my goldfish alive. They were on the brink of death from New tank syndrome. I will definitely be booking her again for future travels. Or maybe just randomly when I need her life saving abilities. ❤️”
“Allison took care of my babies like they were her own. I’m so happy to have found her and will continue to use her as my #1!! She puts my mind at ease, knowing the pups are being taken care of!”
“Good communication. Clearly loves animals and gave our babies lots of love while we were gone. Stayed overnight and left the house in good condition. Would definitely have them again!”
“My dog stayed with Christopher for five days. After the initial meet and greet I knew my pupper was in great hands! I got pictures every day. I felt very secure and was able to relax on my vacation knowing he was so well taken care of!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Alaina! She is a dog whisperer. Our dog is very nervous around new people and tends to growl. Alaina wasn’t phased one bit. She made time to come visit with him a few times so he could get used to her. He knew no commands or tricks before she came and by the time we were home she had taught him to sit, shake, “place”, spin, wait and come. We’ve already booked here for our next trip. 10/10!”
About: I have Grown up with dogs around me my whole life. They bring me so much joy, they would be in good hands in my care! When I care for pets, I make sure all their needs are met. I love playing with dogs and taking them for walks. I make sure to treat all dogs like they are my own! I will make sure to visit the houses that need watching! Walking them when needed, and ensuring my services are quality and live up to what we promised to offer.
“Katelyn was great while watching our dog over our long vacation- Great communication, along with some pictures of our pup! Katelyn even stayed an additional night for us when we ran into some car trouble and wouldn’t be home when planned. Thanks Katelyn!”
“Lillie watched our two dogs in our home for 3 nights and 4 days. She did an excellent job. She gave updates a couple times a day. She also responded whenever I reached out. We would use her again.”
“Tranae was a phenomenal house and dog sitter while we were away for an extended holiday weekend. She kept in touch, sent photo/video updates and went above and beyond in many ways. Highly recommend!”
“Joe and I had the opportunity to have Hannah watch our sweet Oliver over a couple of days. She was prompt on the inital visit, as well and stopping in during the times that we needed her to attend to him. She took photo's and sent them to us regulary, which we appreciate. This was our first time with Hannah and we hope she will be able to watch him again. Thank you Hannah!”
“Daniel was so helpful during his stay at our house! He helped bring the garbage in, collected our packages that were delivered while we were gone and even helped water our plants. We recieved daily pictures and updates about the animals and even an update of wind damage our property endured while we were hone. We will happily have Daniel help us again with our future trips!”
About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.
“Debra was a terrific sitter/companion for our 4 yr old Springer Spaniel rescue. She took great care of him and of our house for 5 nights. We received wonderful photos of their good time together. Came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house. Can’t say enough good things! We feel so lucky to have found her! Just hope she’s available when next we are in need!!!”
“Taylor has done an awesome job watching our girls while we're out of town. It's obvious she loves what she does. We will continue to use her services when we need a dog sitter.”
“Kendall was so sweet and great with the dogs. While I was out she even asked about their favorite toy to play with (forgot to share) and was so quick to reply and let me know all was well with my doggies. Great person! Cannot wait to ask her again.”
“Kevin was so wonderful with Bernie! We knew he was in good hands all weekend, and we got frequent updates from Kevin which we really appreciate when we are out of town. We would be happy to have him watch Bernie again!”

Mason was AMAZING. We received regular updates and our home was cleaner than when she arrived. All instructions for care of our pup and the house were followed perfectly. Aldo was relaxed and happy when we got home. If Mason is available, you should book without a second thought.
We had Eden house sit for our 15 year old kitty and a 5 month old puppy who we had never left with a sitter before. Needless to say we were nervous on how the puppy would do since we were on vacation in Mexico for a week. Our puppy immediately warmed up to Eden and Eden kept us updated at least twice a day in addition to lots of cute pictures of our animals. We were very pleased with the care our pets received and look forward to using Eden again when we need to get away.
Amazing is how I describe Isabella! She is great with my pups, treats my home as her own with respect and keeps me updated with pictures of my babies while I’m away! My heart was so at peace when she stayed with them so I could take a trip with my oldest daughter! Will definitely use again!!
Emily was great with our pups, even our super shy girl warmed up to her! We were gone for 6 days and came home to a clean house and 2 happy pups. It makes being away much more enjoyable when you know your furbabies are being well cared for. We will definitely hire Emily again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Muskegon Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Muskegon Heights on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 440 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Muskegon Heights. 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 Muskegon Heights 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 Muskegon Heights 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 Muskegon Heights 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.

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.
