“Would highly recommend Michelle! She’s very communicative during booking and during the service. It’s wonderful to know our home and our pup is in such responsible and caring hands.”
“Heidi was amazing. She was very accommodating in terms of finding a time for a meet and greet. When my son decided he wanted to entertain her and have her attention as I showed her around, she was a great sport. She was super non-judgmental about the state of our house, and put me at ease. She was great with our pets while we were gone, and sent adorable photos. When we got home, I found that she had washed all of the odd dishes we hadn’t had a chance to wash before we left. She also shoveled the walkway! I will absolutely be reaching out to her again, next time we go on vacation.”
“Nicole did a great job taking care of our pack. She was very communicative with us. She sent pictures along the way and made sure all of our dogs were well taken care of. Left us some pictures when we got home as well to see how they did. Great experience and allowed us to enjoy our vacation stress free. Thanks!!”
“She was very responsive and caring for our cats. She sent pictures and the cats seemed to like her. We also had a situation happen and she acted appropriately and professionally. Thanks Paige!”
“Nico is friendly, knowledgeable and responsible. She took great care of our dogs including a senior who needed medications and some extra TLC. She’ll be our first choice for dog sitting in the future.”

About: I have one dog and one cat that tend to stay upstairs. I absolutely love animals, So I hope to have my own little hobby farm one day. If your pet is in my home, please know they’ll always feel loved, safe and most likely tired out from all out walks. I believe humans and animals benefit from exercise which helps with behavior, same for humans. So bring your pup to me, and they’ll be tired for you:) Also, I have a special place in my heart for special-needs animals that need a little extra love and patience. I have been doing dog-watching for the past four years, in addition to working part-time for 10 years. I work at a school right down the road, which is perfect for dog watching. I leave at 7am, and I’m back by 11am each day. I do boarding, play dates, pickups, drop-ins, and trips to the dog park. I have a fenced-in yard, so your dog may play, run, or simply get some fresh air. I spend my time walking dogs, feeding them, playing, cuddling, kisses, relaxing on the porch and constantly opening and closing the door so they can go outside. Ha! It’s my life, and I truly love it.
“Rebecca is amazing. She kept the house clean, was super responsive to my being a nervous cat mom going away for the 1st time. She sent lots of photos and updates and I am planning to book her again for a few other trips I have coming up. I highly recommend her!!!!!!”
About: Hi! I’m a veteran with a few years of animal care experience, and I’m currently pursuing a degree in animal sciences with a focus on animal health and behavior. Caring for animals is an important part of my life, and I’m excited to continue building my knowledge through both school and hands-on experience. My goal is to provide thoughtful, dependable care while helping your pet feel safe and comfortable when you’re away. I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and care instructions to give them individualized attention. Whether your pet enjoys active playtime or prefers quiet companionship, I’d love to get to know them and help you feel confident about their care! I’m an active person and a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I’m also a veteran, currently working from home while pursuing my degree full-time in animal sciences, with a focus on animal health and behavior. With a few years of animal care experience, I’m passionate about providing attentive, personalized care to every pet I meet. I have two dogs that are small and very polite. They are both neutered and spayed. For them the more the merrier. I couldn’t agree more. Your pets stay will be comfortable and active. I promise to make sure they are well taken care of and get lots of love and sunshine in their day
About: Frequent walker that would be happy to have a dog join. I also have a backyard that I maintain all of the time for use. I do not have a dog of my own and typically only watch one dog (or two if you have two) at a time leaving your dogs needs at the priority! I work remote so will always be able to be responsive when sitting. Also have a 1000+ day 10,000 step streak so doing lots of walking currently! Handle and escalate and concerns to owner when appropriate and I feel any sorts of hesitations. Thoughtfully, decisively, and neutrally investigate Trust & Safety cases with high complexity and high sensitivity while maintaining customer satisfaction! As a reminder I do not have a fenced in yard so all outside time will be through walks!
“Joe was amazing with our 4 furry toddlers! We've never really went on vacation because of our dogs and fears of boarding our dogs. Joe sent nearly daily updates, some pics and videos of them having a great time without us. He's super responsive to messages and very patient with people and our crazy pack of 4. Thanks again for allowing us to have a worry free 1st vacation!”
“Stephen and Amelie provided exemplary care for our dogs, Cameron and Colby. Their kindness, coupled with their commitment to regular exercise and clear communication, put us completely at ease. They frequently updated us with photos and videos, and their prompt responses to our questions were much appreciated. In addition to taking great care of our dogs, they kept our house in perfect condition. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephen and Amelie to anyone needing reliable and loving pet sitters. We can't thank them enough for their top-notch service!”
About: I am a part time college student. I am going to school to get my ECE Degree. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 by volunteering at humane societies and having my own dogs. I also worked at a doggy daycares throughout Florida and Wisconsin. I love all dogs like they are my children. I would love to own my own rescue center but as of now I want to gain more experience with taking care of different breeds and just express my love of animals to the world. I hope that you choose me to be a temporary parent for your dog and that he or she is in perfect hands and will feel at home. Thank you. Hopefully we speak soon. I work third shift for Target and dog sit during the day. I make sure they are taken out three-four times and feed twice a day. I care for them like they are children. Go on walks, feed, cuddle. Run like crazy and crash from exhaustion. I also love getting to know the dogs personality.

About: From working/volunteering at shelters to pet sitting for friends and family, I have 10+ years of experience caring for furry friends of all ages, personalities, and sizes! Most all of my pet care has been limited to cats and dogs, but I am willing to work with small critters, birds and reptiles with the right care instructions/tutorials. I am not typically squeamish, so I am open to handling clean up and medication - please message me for specifics. As a dog mom myself, I understand that each pet requires different levels of care and attention, and am willing to meet them where they’re at! However, I do not offer training services and might not be the most compatible caretaker for pets that exhibit aggressive behaviors (I am open to discussing). Additionally, I am a full time graduate student, so care in the early morning and evenings will work best for my week day schedule. I will be available some holidays (i.e., Thanksgiving). My availability may also change from time to time, so please be sure to check my profile or message me. Choosing me means your pet will receive quality care, and that all the updates you receive will include cute pics! As a full time student, my weekday availability might mean limited check-ins, but your pet is always the priority! - Monday & Tuesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 7 PM - Thursday: 6:00 AM - 7:30 AM; after 5 PM - Friday: 6:00 AM - 8:00 AM; after 3:00 PM - Saturday & Sunday: Flexible! I will need a few hours in the morning and some afternoons to volunteer. For pet sitting, I can provide the following: - Feeding and hydration - Exercise and play - Maintenance and cleaning of pets environment (e.g., litter box, crate, etc.) - Medication administration - Light housekeeping (e.g., bringing mail in, watering plants, taking out trash, etc.) - Text/photo/video updates

Mel has been the absolute best sitter I’ve ever had for my dog. He looks just as happy with Mel as he does with me and his dad. I felt so assured and happy that Leo had his own little vacation. My neighbors told me they played with him outside all day, which is his favorite. 10/10 will 100% book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sturtevant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sturtevant is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,450 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sturtevant. 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 Sturtevant 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 Sturtevant 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 Sturtevant 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.
