“Shiyuan was the best dog sitter i ever met! She sent every hour updates and my dogs loved her! You can really trust her with dogs! She takes good notes for dog’s routine and follow the directions. Will definitely hire for my upcoming trips.”
“Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She sent great updates and the most adorable pictures throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pup was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Emily is fantastic! She took excellent care of our dogs and was the perfect houseguest. Our dogs were happy, well exercised, and well fed when we got home. She knows so much about dogs, she even gave me some great tips on training our puppy! 10/10 we will be asking Emily for help again with our dogs!”
“Great job! She kept me up to date all the time! The pups were in great hands! Would definitely recommend! She is quick to respond if I needed anything and super professional. Asked great questions when meeting the pups.”
“This was our third time using megan and we love her. Very efficient, always on time, sends lots of photos and the animals love her! Would recommend for any future animal sitting you need!”
“Ivy was a perfect sitter! Lacey rly loved her! Ivy sent multiple updates and pictures throughout the day was very responsive. Will definitely be reaching out to her for future sitter needs!”
“Alex stayed at our home and watched our two puppies while we went on vacation for a week. I’ve always had my parents watch them since them so I was worried about finding someone, until I met Alex. She was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of my babies. I can tell they were spoiled with love while we were gone. We will be using her for all future trips!”
“Mary Kay was great to my dogs. I was super appreciative of the open communication and photo updates she had with me during my trip away. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time using a dog sitter and the experience I had was fantastic!”
“I was in need last minute for a dog sitter and Amy was very responsive. Titan my pup and I met with Amy prior to the reservation, and Amy was very kind, asked a lot of thoughtful questions and I could tell immediately was a huge animal lover! As for her services, she went over and beyond! From taking Titan on walks, Starbucks dates and long cuddles on the couch, I was afraid Titan’s heart was going to belong to someone else by the time I came back home. Setting all jokes aside, Amy was incredible, I will absolutely reach out to her in the future and would highly recommend her if anyone else is looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Cheyenne was great! She sent pics and videos throughout her stay updating me about Jenny and Cody. Prior to our vacation, Cheyenne came over to meet the dogs and they both absolutely loved her. She was so sweet with them. We knew they were going to be in great hands, and they absolutely were! We will definitely book Cheyenne again and highly recommend her!”
“Kenna did a great job with our energetic puppy! She was communicative, kept the house super clean, and was overall a joy to work with. My dog loved playing with her pup! This was our first time leaving our puppy so it was such a relief not having to worry! I love that she stayed overnight- it made things much easier. She walked the dog everyday and I could tell my dog was so happy (and tired) when we got home!”
About: I’ve done several years of volunteer work at humane societies including the Paws n Claws Animal Shelter in Rochester, MN and the Berman Animal Center in Westland, MI, walking and socializing with dogs of all sorts of sizes and age groups. I have also had experience dogsitting quite a few times for friends, including once when watching three dogs at once successfully. I am a newly self-employed jack-of-all-trades with a first come, first serve schedule. The only times I’ll need to leave the house is for evenings when I have sports or performances, but I can gladly accommodate your schedule; I am very flexible! While my golden retriever lives with my parents and I have looked after him on my own several times, we keep our dog on a leash at all times and always keep an eye out on him. Pets in my house will have as much of my undivided attention as possible and will make sure they are taken care of and entertained and loved!

“Akala was an amazing sitter for our 3 dogs! They were well taken care of and we got lots of updates on them during our 4 night vacation. She was very responsible and took great care of our house as well. It was super clean and just as we left it. We would definitely recommend Akala to take care of your pets and home while you are away.”
“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Redford
Aurora is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our senior dog, our reactive dog, and our rabbit while we were away. She handled medication without any issues, and sent detailed updates and photos so that we always felt connected to what everyone was up to. She gave each pet including our rabbit one-on-one attention and knowing they were getting such great care really put us at ease with being away for so long knowing they were in excellent hands! We came home to happy, relaxed pets, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Aurora again!
We left our spayed puppy with Phlippy over the Fourth of July weekend, and we could not have trusted her more. She was always punctual with our puppy’s medicine and followed our feeding and bedtime schedule exactly. When we came home, the house looked like no one had even stayed there overnight. Phlippy took wonderful care of both our puppy and our home, and we are so grateful for her help.
Laingly, is an awesome sitter. My 2 German Shorthaired Pointers absolutely adore her. She had to take one to the vet during the stay and had to give him medication, Never a complaint from her at all. he is definitely a conscientious sitter and really loves dogs! We will invite her to sit for our 2 high energy dogs again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Redford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Redford on Rover is $66.6 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 2,485 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Redford. 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 Redford 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 Redford 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 Redford 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 with handling special pet needs in Redford. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
