“Jessi not only took awesome care of our pup while we were away but also took great care of our home. She sent prompt updates and great photos. We came back home to a very happy pup. Would definitely be using Jessi again for future sittings!”
About: I grew up around dogs my entire life and have owned 3 of my own since I was old enough to support them financially. I love being around dogs in general and take their care very seriously. They deserve unconditional love that makes them feel comfortable and safe. I always do my best to make sure that dogs know that I am on their level while also providing structure that creates a friendly and constructive environment. There is no truer happiness than what a dog can provide and I truly enjoy sharing this world with them! Working mom! Can be flexible. I work a hybrid schedule that changes week to week. Weekends are completely open! Open to discuss further regarding needs! We have a fenced in back yard and a trilevel home that our doggies have free range of. Lots of love and care. Walks in a safe neighborhood!
“Joshua was so helpful taking care of my dogs this weekend! He is incredibly responsive. He sent regular updates and photos. He was flexible with my departure/return schedules and left the house in the same condition he found it. I will be requesting him again!”
“We’ve used Rylie twice now and she’s done a fantastic job. Our pup seems to have really taken to her. We also accidentally booked 1 night short of our return date and she was happy to adjust plans and stay an extra night!”
“Emma was great with my dog Arlo! She came over first for a meet and greet and was super professional and courteous. I really appreciated the updates while I was gone and will definitely be using her again!”
“Rafael took exceptionally good care of my two dachshunds for nearly two weeks. They were well fed and well exercised every day. Even the one who resists walking beyond the bottom of the driveway would walk blocks with him. He spent a lot of time with them. In addition, as he stayed in my home, I returned to a house that was exactly as I left it. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I will certainly ask him back in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for and have loved dogs for the past 20 years. I have experience with dogs and with diabetes and other special care needs. I’m currently a hybrid worker with a flexible schedule allowing me to work from home anytime. I will communicate with owners if there is any reason I would need to be away from their pet for more than 4 hours. I currently do not have any pets. I live in a second story condo with plenty of walking paths in the neighborhood and a dog park close by. My house is a calm environment for anxious pets.
About: I am a licensed veterinary nurse that lives in Ann Arbor and works full time in a specialty hospital. I have 10 years of experience working in veterinary medicine and have owned cats and dogs my whole life! I have fostered over 50 dogs and love all dogs and cats regardless of breed, size, temperament, health conditions - nothing will scare me away! I can medicate cats and dogs, exercise them how they please, I can stay on top of potty training, and I am capable of the high maintenance care some of our senior pets require. *must be a smoke-free home for overnight stays I work Tuesday through Friday 8am-6pm and I can come home on my lunch break if needed and if your home is within 15 minutes of my work place. I have been on the other side of Rover before, so I understand how stressful it is to find the right sitter and how nerve wracking it can be to trust a stranger with your fur baby! I will care for and love your pets as if they are my own. I will follow all house rules (no dogs on the furniture,etc) and respect your home as if it is my own. I can assure you that you will come home to the way you left it. I will never leave your pet for longer than I have to (when I am at my full time job) and will honor the schedule we agree on. I will always send photo updates if you please! I hope it gives you peace of mind leaving your pet with me given my background and career!
“Jada did a phenomenal job watching our two dogs! She provided thorough and timely updates every day, and she truly put me at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. Couldn’t ask for a better dogsitter!”
“Melissa was so amazing while staying at our place with our 2 year old dog Banjo! She sent lots of adorable pictures and thoughtful updates! She was the dream dog sitter, and truly seems to love animals. Would very highly recommend!!!”
About: Hello! I love dogs! I’ve had two dogs in the past, one dog for 8 years and one for 6 years. Since my most recent dog passed away, that's opened the opportunity for me to watch peoples dogs. I’ve volunteered at the Huron Valley Humane Society. Completed dog walking training, blue dot training and problem dog not allowed out with the general public yet training. If you want your dog not only watched but showered with love, I’m a great choice. I work from home, so have great flexibility. Having a schedule that fits your dogs shouldn’t be a problem. Hope you find what you are looking for. Your dog will be showered with love. Happy to have them sleep in the same bed if they are allowed. I love making dogs feel special.
“Hanna stayed with our cat all week while we were gone. She was so easy to communicate with and quick to respond! She sent us the cutest pictures and videos all week to get us through the week. 100% will rebook with Hanna.”
“Tj was wonderful with our cat! He loves animals and animals love him. Shoni was so relaxed and happy with him. He kept the house clean. We came back to a happy kitty and a clean home. Definitely rebooking!”
“Corrine is amazing! My dog loved her from the moment he met her, and she’s great with him. She sent me updates while I was gone, even though it was just for a few hours. I would definitely recommend her to others, and will be asking her to sit again for me!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saline
Molly did an excellent job watching our dog at our home. Our dog can be a handful, but Molly followed all our instructions to the letter and clearly knew what she was doing. She took great care of our house too. Everything was exactly as we left it when we got back. Communication was easy and reliable throughout the stay. I highly recommend booking with Molly. She will take great care of your pets and your home.
Caroline was great! She kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we got home, the house was spotless, and it was obvious our pets had been well cared for. They seemed so happy and comfortable with her. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will absolutely be booking with Caroline again. Highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in Saline is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $94 per night.

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 Saline 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 Saline 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 Saline 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
