“Where do I start 😀 Rod did 2 meet and greets prior to my leaving for vacation which made me know he wanted to be right on spot double checking responsibilities for Kacey Mocha, and to get to know her disposition. Not only was he the kindest, most respectful and responsible petsitter for Kacey, he helped me with support as this was my first time being separated from her and I was quite nervous/sad. Daily texts and photos, face time, and coming home to a very clean house was a bonus! The most important thing is- Rod gave 100% attention and care to Kacey Mocha and expressed how much fun he had with her. And my stepdad would visit Kacey Mocha a couple times while Rod was here and he called me to tell me what an enjoyable time he had talking with Rod while they played with her and I had nothing to worry about with Rod caring for her. Thank you Rod so very much!”
“Tim was very attentive and provided many updates while he watched our dog. Our dog was very well cared for and we will book again. You can tell that he really cares for dogs and is willing to give them all the attention they need.”
“Christi was amazing! She loved on our golden so well and was extremely communicative, giving us daily updates along with pictures. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Debbie was a wonderful sitter for our Lab, Maggie! She was very communicative and sent pictures and updates. When we arrived home our house was as clean as it was when we left, and Maggie was happy and relaxed. We felt so comfortable being away know that Debbie was home taking Maggie for walks and keeping her on her normal schedule. She is definitely a 5-star sitter!”
“Parker was great! We were traveling in our motorhome with two wild Springer Spaniel puppies for a wedding and Parker came to the campground to take care of our pups. Very communicative during the entire booking process as well! If we lived in the area, we would definitely hit Parker back up for pet sitting/home sitting services!”
“Casey was fantastic! I appreciated her communication ahead of tome and pre-meeting us and then updates and pictures throughout the visit. Will definitely be scheduling again!”
“Julia did a great job! We were away for 5 days, and our dogs were happy and well fed when we returned. The house was cleaned and she checked in with pictures to let us know that everything was going well.”
“Anissa was an AMAZING dog/house sitter. She was super communicative about the good and the bad. (Unfortunately my dog had an allergy flare up while I was gone and she noticed it immediately and let me know. She even researched some over the counter treatments and purchased the meds and administered them for me!) I really felt like she was in tune with my dogs and paid super close attention to their well being. Not only was she excellent to my dogs, I came home to an immaculate home. It was cleaner than it was when I left! She took such good care of my home, plants, and belongings. I will 100% have Anissa back the next time I'm out of town! THANK YOU ANISSA <3!”
“Leah took great care of our dog on her, four night stay. She communicated well, sent lots of pictures and even took our trash bins up to the house and mail inside. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Christina was so awesome! She and her daughter loved and cared for Kobe and our home while we were gone for a week. She sent us a text or photo everyday and Kobe loved her! Our house was clean and perfect when we got back too. Would 100% book Christina again.”
“Dwayne wasn’t a stranger after long. I only ever left my labs with friends, family or the trainer. After moving across the country I needed to find the new family friend for my fur monsters. Dwayne asked great questions got comfortable and took amazing day and overnight care of my dogs. Super communicative and kept me updated while I was out of town. Happy to have found him for my doggy support.”
“I have only great things to say about Amie. We had never left Pickles with anyone other than his grandparents before and he can be iffy about who he trusts but immediately took a liking to Amie. After our first meeting I knew he would be so well looked after in her care. She is so responsive and sent lots of photos so I always knew he was doing alright. I seriously cannot speak more highly of her. She went above and beyond to make sure Pickles felt as loved as possible while we were away and she was so respectful of our home. If we ever need a pet sitter again I can’t see going with anyone else.”
“Karlee was great with our 4-1/2 month-old Frenchton puppy for a weekend in-home stay. She kept us up to date and made us feel completely comfortable leaving our young puppy with her for the weekend. Would highly recommend her!”
“Morgan was amazing with our pup! She was very professional and kind when communicating back and forth, and sent us many pictures but not too much to feel overwhelmed. The house looked wonderful when we got back, and it was clear our dog was well taken care of for the couple days we were gone. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend!”
“Morgan stayed at my house & cared for my very demanding (spoiled) Cavalier KCS, betta fish & chameleon. I returned to a very clean, neat home & happy pets. I would recommend Morgan!”
“Vanya was beyond amazing while staying at our house and watching our dog and two cats! She sent multiple pictures/updates throughout the days we were away and went above and beyond to keep our house clean and our pets happy. We will definitely be using Vanya in the future for as long as she will have us!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Schoolcraft on Rover is $30.62 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 320 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Schoolcraft. 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 Schoolcraft 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 Schoolcraft 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 Schoolcraft 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 Schoolcraft. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
