About: I’ve taken care of animals for more than half my life. Which has grown into building my own passion serving animals in many ways. I care for animals locally, will travel up to 50 miles, can provide care inside your home, provide walks, give rides to the vet office or groomer, I can give medications, bathe your animal in your home, and I can provide fun fulfilling adventures and activities! With having a flexible schedule I can focus on providing quality care to your pet/pets. 7 days a week with flexible morning, afternoon and evening hours. I’m able to care for pets inside of your home. Rather this needs to be letting them out into a fenced in yard, walking them off property or on property, taking them out of or putting them into a crate/ kennel. Crate cleanup if needed and dog poo cleanup from your yard each time I have a visit.

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!

About: I have dogsat for friends and family since I was a kid, I worked at a doggy daycare (Paws In The City) in highschool. My family has raised 2 litters of golden retrievers, so I am familiar with how to train and housebreak puppies from a young age. I live with 2 dogs and 3 cats, all with very different energy levels and personalities, I will adjust to your pet's unique needs and routines! I am a student at CMU, so during the semester I will be gone during the morning for classes. I stop by to check on pets during lunch time, and then head back to campus. On weekends I can stay with them the whole day, taking dogs on a hike if the weather is nice, or staying in and playing on my study breaks. I have a pretty open schedule, so I will have a lot of time to spare for pet care. I am willing to stay with your pets overnight if you need, or just stop by regularly throughout the day. I will follow your instructions, and make sure your pets stay fed, safe, and happy while you are gone! I have a lot of hiking trails I want to explore, if you are comfortable with me taking your pup on a fieldtrip. If not, I am happy to walk in your neighborhood and stay closer to home.

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.

Emily was very loving and caring for our dog. The first two days we received pictures and put pretty regularly, I would have liked it if she had done that on the last day. Other than that she is an excellent sitter

About: For over 30 years, I've cared for animals of all ages and personalities! From energetic puppies to gentle senior pets, cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I provide patient, loving care, including feeding, playtime, medication (if needed), companionship, and basic grooming. I also enjoy walks with dogs that are comfortable on a leash and don't pull, so every outing is safe and enjoyable. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability, which allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it's drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, or keeping your pet on their normal routine, I'm happy to be there when you need someone you can trust. I primarily provide care in my clients' homes, where I do everything I can to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar environment. I treat every home with the utmost respect, always cleaning up after myself and taking care of any pet-related messes. I believe communication is important, so if I ever notice anything unusual with your pet, I'll let you know right away. I'm also happy to help with small extras, like bringing in the mail or watering plants if needed. My goal is to care for your pets and your home with the same level of attention and respect I would want for my own. I will always respect your families needs, boundaries, and expectations in your home.

About: Bonafide Animal Lover! I grew up on a farm caring for many different animals & have always had either cats and/or dogs in my adult life. Most recent, I cared for our two adult male shepherds in all aspects - training, feeding, walking, nurturing and our two adult cats - training, feeding, activity and nurturing. My pets are part of my family & I will provide the same level of care to your pets as well! I am a semi-retired remote bookkeeper and empty nester therefore I am home most of the time and have plenty of time to do drop in visits, walking or boarding. My caution level for keeping my pets safe and well cared for is very high. They are part of my family. I focus on their daily feeding schedule, ensure the catbox is kept clean daily, play with them (laser pointer and feather toy) for their exercise, and provide lots of love and cuddles too. When I have our shepherds, I walk them daily and play fetch and tug of war with a ball or rope.

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’m currently working full time until the end of June then I will be back in school, making my schedule much more flexible. My mornings right now start at 5am and I get home from work anytime between 3-6pm. During school, my mornings start around 7am 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.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I genuinely love caring for dogs of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I previously volunteered at the animal shelter in Big Rapids, where I gained hands on experience walking dogs with different temperaments and caring for their daily needs. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to help dogs feel comfortable and safe in new environments. I also have my own 6-year-old Mini Australian Shepherd who is truly my best friend, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every dog with the same love, care, and attention I would want for my own. What sets me apart is that I’m dependable, calm, and genuinely passionate about making pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently home in Michigan for the summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and open availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats in their own home so they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. Whether your pet needs potty breaks throughout the day, feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide attentive and loving care. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, comfortable environment in every pet care situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep things familiar. I make sure pets are always supervised during visits, doors and gates are securely handled, and I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any specific care guidelines provided by the owner. I also respect each home by keeping it clean, organized, and exactly as I found it. For dogs, I ensure safe leash handling during walks, avoid unsafe interactions with unfamiliar animals, and always stay attentive to their behavior and needs. For cats, I create a calm environment by respecting their space and letting them come to me on their terms, while still providing affection, play, and care when they’re comfortable. My goal is to build trust with both pets and owners by being reliable, detail-oriented, and attentive so you can feel confident your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

I am more than happy with the service provided by Megan (and Scott). I asked they take Frank on a walk because he had been crated for a few hours, feed him and just hang out for a while. They went beyond, by taking him on 2 walks, sending several pictures of a smiley happy dog and communicating throughout the visit what Frank was up to. They are friendly, knowledgeable about dogs and training, timely and reliable. We were at ease being gone for so long knowing Frank was in good hands. I will absolutely use them again when we need someone to take care of our boy.

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!

About: I have taken care of a few puppies and helped them grow up, stay clean, stay fed and watered, and most importantly stayed entertained. A well entertained puppy/dog stays out of trouble. I currently don't have job so I can be available almost any time of the day. I tend to be a night owl so I can stay as late as need. Your pups will be taken out one at a time (if you have 2 or more), will be exercising and walked, I will follow your feeding schedule and amount per meal, and I am give meds if they are dosed beforehand.

About: Though I’ve only had my own animals for 6 years, I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I was our in-house dog trainer, teaching mine and my grandparents dogs how to sit, shake, speak, and stay before I was breaking double digits. I love all kinds of animals, and have cared for birds, rats, snakes, and turtles outside of just cats and dogs. I’ve only had huskies in my house, so I’m totally used to pets that shed and need to be brushed frequently. I would love to befriend and care for your pet while you’re exploring old places and new! I’m currently an online college student with open availability. I am pretty flexible and will do my best to work with you to accommodate yours and your pets needs! However, I do begin in-person classes August 31st where I’ll be in Mt. Pleasant Monday-Thursday. I’d still love to watch your companions during this time, I just want to be clear that I will be away from your home for a couple hours on weekdays! I am someone who loves the companionship of all animals. I will talk to your pets and give them all the love they need (or want, of course)!

FAQs for House Sitting - Remus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Remus on Rover is $55.5 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 95 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Remus. 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 Remus 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 Remus 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 Remus 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.
