“Kaitlin was amazing with our two dogs. She took the time to get to know them so they were comfortable with her. One of our dogs is a senior and Kaitlin was wonderful with her. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in good hands with Kaitlin. I highly recommend Kaitlin for dog sitting and we will definitely be hiring her for future vacations.”
“I'm truly thankful to have met and hired Yushonda. I have watched over 100 dogs, and I mean it when I say she is a step above everyone else. Mara is dog aggressive and dismissive of people and very slow to build trust. Yushonda would not settle for good enough or merely being present in the house. She strived and worked hard to build that trust, working with Mara, making her presence known, and building trust at Mara's pace. I was shocked to hear Mara got comfortable enough to jump right in bed on the first night. I had expected at the end of the stay for our dog to maybe allow pets, instead she made a great new friend by the first day and asked for belly rubs, something she only does for 3 people. Yushonda instilled trust not only in Mara but also us. Without her, we would have not been able to have gone on our trip and been able to see family, relax, and be at ease. Send Yushonda a message, you and your fur baby will not regret it or think about hiring someone else. I am so happy to know we have someone that will care about our baby as much as we do. I'm so thankful to finally have someone I can whole heartedly recommend, with full confidence, to watch my client's pets and know she will live up to that recommendation and always go above and beyond.”
About: Hi! 🤗 thanks for checking me out! I have a ton of experience with animals! I have experience in animal hospitals and doggy daycares alike 😃 Taking care of animals is where my heart is. I’ve always had multiple animals at a time. CPR and trauma experienced. I’m available all the time currently! Which means longer walks, play in the yard, or cuddles! I walk dogs full time so don’t be shy! I can’t watch anyone in my apartment, but I can come to your home or take them out and about! My attitude changes with each animal as I learn them. Most dogs I’m pretty playful with and have a lot of high energy play, some like to just sit next to a warm body on the couch and I can do that too.
“Ainsley did an awesome job with our 2 dogs! We will definitely be having her watch them again soon! She not only did a great job with the boys but the house was also spotless when we got home which is always the best! 12/10 recommend!”
“Jessica was great with our girls, she did everything we asked and then some. We will definitely have her back in our home to take care of our fur babies. Can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave us. Steve and Debbie H”
“Lily did a wonderful job sitting for my Maize and a friend’s Cooper. They have two distinctly different personalities and Lily was able to make them both comfortable. She sent me pictures daily, which I really appreciated. She also left the house in perfect order. I will definitely hire her again. I highly recommend Lily!”
About: Not only did I grow up with dogs, I have worked as a certified dog trainer at Petco for over a year. I am a trustworthy resource for your dog. I’m currently working part time and have a strict schedule of availability on Monday- Thursday every week. Just beep me if you wanna reach me! I will be mindful of your dogs boundaries, I don’t pet dogs that don’t like to be pet. I will provide your dog with water and food as needed. When a dog shows signs they have to go potty I will let them outside or take them on a walk and clean after them. When dogs get bored I will play with them and keep them entertained with their toys and treats. I practice training tricks to keep their brains happy and stimulated!
About: I have been trusted with pet care for friends and family many times over the last few years which have included daily walks, regular feeding, potty breaks, play time, and company! While I'm new to professional pet care, I am familiar with providing reliable care to furry friends. I am currently a full-time student taking online classes this summer, meaning I have plenty of time to hang out with pets! When in-person classes start again in the fall, I am local, so pet care still will not be a problem. I've cared for dogs for family and friends over the years and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, providing fresh water, letting dogs outside for potty breaks, spending quality time with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and companionship. I've helped care for my grandpa's two dogs, regularly looked after my boyfriend's family dog, and cared for my aunt and uncle's dog while they traveled by handling the daily routine before and after work. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm happy to follow your instructions to help keep them happy and comfortable. I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I'd give my own.
“Brooklyn was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and takes great care of them. She kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. When we came home both of our girls were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. She was attentive to their individual needs and treated them like they were her own. We could tell they were comfortable and loved while we were gone. We would absolutely book with Brooklyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of our pups!”
About: I have had dogs since being a child (grandma had cats) and we consider them family. We love going on walks, playing at the park and being very active!!! Playing frisbee, ball or whatever your pets favorite is. I have experience with big and little dogs as I have a lab and a jack Russell. I have watched a few dogs in the past and would love to get to know you and yours. Please chose me to care for your "child", your family family member, your friendly doggy love! Can't wait to make some new canine friends and their owner! Get in touch soon! I am avaible upon request. I do work part time during the summer making my schedule open up. During the school year, I work full time but have any breaks. I make sure that your pet is comfortable. I ask if your pet can have treats, if so are there specific one? Its important to make everyone comfortable.
“This was our first time using Rover, and I am glad it was with Kati!!! Kati was great with our Bennie Jet! She was sure to keep us updated consistently. Would 10/10 recommend anyone who is looking for a pet sitter.”
“Felix was fantastic. We hired him to watch our babies for a whole week staying in our home. He took them for walks and played with them, sending updates and pictures every day. We will difinitely utilize him again.”
“Brittany is THE BEST sitter ever. She always goes above and beyond to make sure that all the animals are not just cared for, but adored. Every time we have had her she's gone the extra mile doing little things like cleaning a cage, giving them an extra brushing, doing an extra walk, whatever it takes to give the animals the best experience. They all love her and we do too. Cannot recommend enough!”
About: I've had 2 dogs in my life, but my family has always had dogs, so ive been around dogs my whole life, I will take care of your baby, as if it were my own, have had some experience w meds, etc. over the years, I would do anything for the fur babys Right nw I'm available 24/7, just lost my job at Walmart, I've done retail for over 20 yrs, would really like to have a chance to doggy sit, would love to stay outta retail, rather deal w the 4 legged critters😁 Right nw I would love to be able to go to there house, I live in a small park right nw, eventually one day I can sit at my place
About: I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember and have experience with breeds ranging from Yorkies and Frenchies to Border Collies and German Shepherds. Caring for my own German Shepherd service dog taught me the importance of patience, consistency, attentiveness, and building trust with every dog individually. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and routine, and I treat every pet like family while they’re in my care. My schedule is flexible, and I prefer a routine that naturally includes animals rather than working around them. I’m usually available throughout the day for morning, afternoon, and evening care, and I’m comfortable adjusting my plans to make sure pets get consistent attention, walks, feeding, and companionship. I have a fenced in yard with 3 dogs. Scarlett; a 7 year old German Shepherd, Oakley; 2 year old GSD mix, and Justin; a 4 year old Frenchie.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swartz Creek
Kaitlin was great!! She took care of our black lab during our wedding! We got several updates and pictures, and she made us feel super comfortable leaving him with her! She even took additional measures to ensure he wouldn’t be spooked being left alone for a couple hours at our Airbnb!
Sara was fantastic with keeping us updated with how our boys were and always sending lot of pictures! She asked questions and never assumed anything. It can be very nerve reckoning leaving your babies with a stranger, but Sara has our trust and we will definitely be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Swartz Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Swartz Creek on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 487 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Swartz Creek. 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 Swartz Creek 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 Swartz Creek 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 Swartz Creek 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.

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.
