“Hope is very kind, experienced, and reliable. She stayed at our home taking care of our dog Grover while we were away on vacation, and we had peace of mind knowing that Grover was in good hands. She did not mind taking long walks with Grover several times/day (which Grover loves). She followed our requests and instructions and kept us informed daily about Grover's status. She also interacted very well with Grover's best-dog friend across the street. She was great!”
“Fatima took great care of our dog Blue! We felt reassured being away with pictures and updates. Fatima is also very kind and accommodating, would definitely reach out again!”
“Both our dogs really enjoyed Joshua! He stayed at our home for several nights and sent us daily photo updates. I would recommend Joshua to anyone - We definitely will be booking with him in the near future!”
“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!”
“Truly goes above and beyond with Stitch and he is so happy and calm with them! I cannot recommend them more and they will always be a go to for me when I’m going out of town. My dog has a few quirks so it’s hard for me to leave him with others when I travel but I feel 100% comfortable when they are watching him!”
“Rylie was very responsive and very attentive to our pups. She also sent great photos. She has great experience with her own dogs and with her work at a doggy day care and was very comfortable when a last minute issue came up and knew which issues she should contact us about.”
About: I have taken care of family dogs since I was old enough to remember. I grew up with 2 shih tzu's at home, and they were my fiercest protectors. I have taken care of both senior dogs and puppies. I love caring for dogs (every size and breed!). I know how hard it is to leave your best friend behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether we’re out for a long walk or curled up on the couch, I promise to treat your pup with the same love and devotion I would give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing they aren't just being watched—they’re being pampered, played with, and truly cared for. I’m currently working full-time (9 am-5 pm) Monday-Friday, so I would be perfect for a weekend or long weekend coverage. I am available Fridays after 4:30, and typically all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am also open to staying during the weekdays as long as your pet does not need to be taken out in the middle of the day. I can have pets in my apartment so I am available for boarding! And, I would be more than happy to do home-stays or quick drop-ins for walks and feeding!
“We are so grateful to have found Elizabeth to stay with our pets. She was awesome! We had great communication and she went above and beyond to make sure our pets and home were well taken care of.”
“Jessica took excellent care of our pup! She kept us updated about some of his medical concerns which I so appreciated! We returned to a happy pup and clean home. I will gladly book Jessica again!”
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.
“Oanh is awesome. Molly loved her. She sent pictures and videos daily. She cuddled Molly and offered to due more than we asked or needed. Highly recommend her and WILL be using her again.”
About: Professionally, I have been dog sitting for about 2-3 years now. I currently do not own any animals, however, I have had dogs previously. I love dogs and plan to open a doggy daycare business one day. Dogs are like children and need to be loved and cared for as such. If given the chance I would do just that. Treat the pets as I would want someone else to treat mine. I know how to feed, bathe, walk and clean properly behind animals. For overnight visits the house will be as clean as you left you it. There is huge park in the back of my apartment building where it is very pet-friendly. The area I live is a very grassy like environment and has more than enough room for dogs and animals to play and exercise. Walk/potty break 7AM Breakfast by 7:30 AM Lunch: if there is a lunch time it’ll be by 2:30 PM Dinner: by 6PM Playtime: all the time in between Animals will stay leashed any time we are outside unless we are in the dog park and owner says it’s okay to unleash. I also am an active jogger so I can keep up with younger and old dogs. I’m a chill sitter that vibes off the dogs energy.
“James was amazing with my two big dogs and house sitting while we were away for a few days! Easy communication, adorable pictures, and somehow pacified my wild 2.5yr pit/mastiff mix. Highly recommend booking with him.”
“Caitlin was great while we were on vacation for two weeks - super communicative and good at problem solving for a couple little blips on our first house-sitting venture. So happy she was able to look after our pets so well! I would recommend her to anyone for cats and birds.”
“Tyler couldn't have been a kinder or sweeter person to stay at my house to watch my precious Becka. We came home to a happy dog and a house just the way we left it. The first time we met him, he instantly set my mind at ease and I had no reservations of leaving my house and my precious Becka with him. I would absolutely recommend Tyler and would not hesitate to hire him again. Thank you again.”
About: ’ve been a cat owner for over 10 years, so I understand the importance of reliable, compassionate care. While this is my first time offering pet care on Rover, I have plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and flexible with my schedule. I’m especially good with cats and enjoy giving them the patience and attention they need, but I’m also happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and general pet care. I’m a college student here in Ann Arbor so my main time commitment is classes, but I’m very flexible outside of this time. I have Fridays and weekends open, as well as some mornings and evening throughout the week. I keep pets safe and comfortable by sticking to their routines and giving them plenty of attention. In your home, I treat your pets like my own and make sure everything is left just as I found it.
“Dan was GREAT with my 2 mastiff puppies! They are a lot of work and here never once complained. I felt so relieved about going to work for the first time. I loved getting the updates as well as pics. The best part is they LOVE him!”

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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $94 per night.

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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saline. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
