“Jeremiah house sat for us for 5 days. Our senior puppy really took to him, enjoying ear and belly rubs. Our kitty, who is fairly new to our family , warmed up to him as well. Would definitely hire him again. Respect young man.”
About: For as long as I can remember I have loved dogs, and I've lived with one for the last 15 years! I have experience dog-sitting various types of dogs ranging from boxers, to labs, to bulldogs. I love to walk dogs, play with them, and just hang out with them! I can definitely promise to be attentive and loving to your pup. I am currently available any time during the week to help care for your pup! You can trust they won't be neglected with me; I'm willing & eager to spend time with your pet in any way you need. At my house, I am always aware of where my dog is and what she is doing. I will make sure to do the same with your dog. I will make sure nothing dangerous is in their reach, keep their water bowl filled, and provide them with constant love and affection :)
“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
“Took care of our two dogs (young hound and elderly rat terrier) for several days while my family and I were out of town. Kept constant updates which is important as our elderly dog does need sone extra care and attention. On top of caring for our dogs Gina took care of our weekly trash/recycling and daily mail. Sydney (her dog) also got along well with our younger dog and kept each other company by playing all day. I would definitely ask her to watch our dogs again.”
“Bethanie was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and home. It was my first time using the Rover app for a dog sitter and it was a great experience. 100% would recommend Bethanie.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments—no pup too big or small! I’ve also walked cats, administered meds, brushed teeth, and provided loving care for seniors. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I’m experienced and happy to help. My fenced yard offers safe outdoor time, and I treat every animal like family. I currently have full availability and offer flexible, reliable care for your pets! I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, daycare, and more—even same-day appointments. I do have little ones at home, so we may step out briefly for park outings, but never for long. Your pet will still get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is dog/cat - friendly, with a securely fenced yard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street. I clean with pet-safe products to ensure a healthy environment. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same respect and care as I do my own. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in safe, loving hands.
“Alicia was a great communicator and kept us in the know all the time, sending pictures and updates. Prina adored her and we will definitely be booking Alicia to watch Prina again :)”
“Unbelievably wonderful to work with, would recommend him to anyone, was very attentive to our fifteen and a half year old dog did a great job, giving him his medications and taking him on a walk.In addition, took excellent care of the house plants and my various fish.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family and friends. I’m very active, responsible, and attentive, so I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel cared for. I understand how important routines, safety, and patience are, and I’ll always treat your pets like my own! I recently finished my first year at the University of Michigan and am home for the summer while working part-time. Pet care fits very naturally into my schedule, and I’m looking for an active and rewarding way to spend more of my time. I have a flexible routine and enjoy staying active, so walks, check-ins, playtime, and overnight care work well for me throughout the week. I always make pet safety and comfort my top priority. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs. I’m very attentive, organized, and respectful of both pets and homes.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Either it being within the family or friends. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I have no concern adapting to your dogs unique needs. I work partly remote through the week. Allowing for pee breaks throughout the day. I have weekends open most of the time. It will be no problem to provide a comfortable stay for your pup. I have a fenced yard and safe house in a great neighborhood. I currently have one medium dog full time and my girlfriend has two small dogs here part time.
About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals since I was young. I grew up around springer spaniels, australian cattles, labs, pomeranians, and retrievers. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors the past few years and decided to join the app to get to know more furry friends in our community. I have a tuxedo cat and Italian Greyhound dog. I typically work 11-2 most days so I have earlier mornings/evenings I can dedicate to taking care of your pet! I work from home so it shouldn’t be difficult to pop over to your house to play with your furry friends. My dog is my best friend but she is an escape artist so I am always very careful about always checking the yard for any escape routes and always keeping them on a leash. I will always be very careful with your dog and cat because safety is my top priority!
About: I absolutely adore animals, but dogs are what I know best. I've always grown up with a dog in my house and currently live with 2 now. I’m happy to help in any way I can while I’m back in school pursuing a degree in healthcare :) I’m currently in school and have classes on Mondays over the summer. I’m happy to work around my study schedule to provide care for your pets. In your home what you say goes. I’m there for your pet and to respect your space. I know how I would feel letting someone in my home, so I hope to put your mind at ease.
“LeeAna did an amazing job with our older dog. She left our home in great shape and took our girl on walks and made her feel comfortable. We would definitely have LeeAna dogsit for us again.”
About: I have my own dogs and have since I was little, I love all dogs and love to see all their personalities. If your dog needs any care I am willing to help!

FAQs for House Sitting - New Troy
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Troy. 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 New Troy 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 New Troy 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 New Troy 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.
