“This was the first time using Rover and leaving my puppy with anyone. Suz’s sister Sky ended up coming to my home and-watching my puppy. Sky did a great job. Sky gave me a good run down of her sitting. I would use Sky again and Rover.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, rabbits, ducks, and chickens! Now I’m my own home I have a dog and a cat. I love taking care of all animals!! I am a stay at home wife/mom with a dog and a cat of my own. I have plenty of time to take care of your furry companions. I have a dog and a cat of my own. I take my dog on walks everyday and offer lots of cuddles and play time.
“Lexi is a kind, responsible dogsitter. She took wonderful care of my dog and house. She texted me daily updates, and she followed instructions with great care. Most importantly, my dog Blueberry loves her! I recommend her highly.”
About: We’ve had two pets and have cared for both puppies and elderly dogs. We’ve done dog sitting for lots of friends over the years and even done a little bit of fostering to help get dogs ready for their forever homes. ❤️ Both my husband and I work full time but on a school schedule so summers are free. Both of our schedules have some flexibility during the day to allow for potty breaks, etc. I love to take dogs for walks, a snowshoe, or skiing. We have 5 acres on our property, which also allows for some good exploring and throwing balls with the chuck it.
“Ashley exceeded our expectations!! After a week away, we came home to a clean house and very happy animals. Ashley was great with communication and we were able to relax much better on vacation knowing our fur babies were in great hands!”
“Our dogs warmed up to her almost instantly, our home was left in perfect order and she communicated in a timely fashion. We will ask her to dogsit in the future and would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in the home all my life. I have experience treating a sick kitten with daily injections. I foster cats with K-Snag but I have plenty of time and love to share. I work but I’m never gone for too long. A few days a week I work nights and am not available but I would love to care for your fur baby on evenings I don’t work. I’m always available before 1 pm. I also volunteer at a cat rescue up in Calumet for a few hours on Sundays. I have no pets of my own at the moment so I have plenty of space and love to give. I live in a spacious studio apartment alone.
About: As a kid I used to dog sit my neighbors twi Shih Tzu’s while she went to work! Growing up I have always had animals like dogs, cats, birds, fish and a bunny! I just recently moved back home a couple months ango and have a lot of extra time on my hands to care for your pets! I will always ensure a clean and safe environment for your pets comfort to help them maintain their typical routine as much as possible !!
About: Growing up I was expected to care for children and dogs simultaneously. Taking care of them doesn’t feel like a job, makes me feel like I’m back home! I’m currently enrolled as a student at Michigan Tech and I’m also on the soccer team here. During the week, I’m almost always available anytime after 6:30pm. Additionally, I usually have most weekends off! I always take time to care for my dogs at home by letting them out multiple times a day, giving them as many pets and cuddles as possible, keeping up with their medications and food, etc. Our dogs are trained to stay in the yard at home so please specify if you prefer your dog on a leash:)
About: My Family and I have had dogs in the family for years and I have always had a big role in taking care of them from baths to playtime and food. In 2020 we then started raising puppies. I have helped from the birthing to medication and playtime, overcoming new obstacles and fears, and potty training. I have dog sat a bit and have done well making sure they got exercise, food, and medication. I do not have much experience with watching cats but love playing with my Aunt's who breeds and raises kittens. I currently go to college classes but have a fairly flexible schedule. In the summer aside from a few trips I have nothing going on! I feed them twice a day unless specified, give baths once every other week and as needed. If they don't seem to be enjoying an activity changing it or making the situation better. Trust and respect are very important. The wishes of the owners or parents will be followed and hope to give your pet the best care while you are away
“Karina took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were away for a few days. She provided updates and photos daily of our doggos having fun. Both dogs are mixed aussie shephards and are anxious around new people, especially when its on their turf. Karina was not detured and they became quick best buds. Our minds were at ease the whole trip while they were in her care. We highly recommend Karina for anyone looking for dog sitters.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in South Range on Rover is $34.24 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 19 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Range. 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 South Range 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 South Range 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 South Range 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.
