“She was so amazing with my older dog who can be grumpy. Very accommodating and flexible, which was so appreciated!! We will definitely be using her from now on and I have recommended her to family and friends.”
About: I have lived with dogs, cats and bunnies since I was born. I took over training them at a young age because I have the patience and empathy to connect with animals. I have trained all of my dogs to an advanced level and have experience training cats as well. I treat animals with the same dignity and respect that I treat humans with. I run my own 3d print shop and have a lot of down time during and between jobs. I can do short or long term pet care as my business needs can be scheduled around that. I have a fully fenced yard, 3 very diplomatic dogs to keep them company and the ability to separate my pets from yours for the duration if needed. I will follow all instructions left for me when entering a client's home and do only the tasks asked of me.
“Michelle did an outstanding job caring for our two dogs in our home for a week. She even cared for our three fish tanks while we were away. She sent frequent pictures and responded quickly to messages. When our older dog was having difficulty jumping on the bed at night, she switched rooms so she would have an easier time navigating the jump. When we arrived home, our dogs were happy, healthy, and content. Michelle has our highest rating!”
About: I’ve cared for my family pets my whole life and started pet sitting in high school for neighbors with both dogs and cats. I now have two dogs of my own and treat every animal with love, patience, and care. I work 9–5 on weekdays and offer cleaning and pet sitting after 5 p.m. and on weekends. Message me to discuss your needs and availability! I take care to follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I’m respectful of your home and will ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
About: I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens/reptiles. I Currently work as a licensed veterinary technician and have been in the field for 7 years! I do work longer hours, usually 3-4 days a week but if I need to take them to work with me, I can! I work 8-8 but the days change each week! If you don’t have a fenced in yard i’m comfortable walking your pet on a leash to go outside, would feel more comfortable versus relying on recall!
“Sarah was great!!! She showed up exactly when planned, and she left exactly when she stated she would. She gave the dogs lots of attention and love and kept them safe and happy overnight for us. We will use her again for sure!!! It’s always nice to find someone that you feel you can trust in your home while you’re away!!”
“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: My name is Alexis (Lexi) I am 26, born and raised in Fenton. Graduated from FHS class of 2018, have a degree in holistic medicine and working in my esthetician license. I own a pet service company called pawsitively Lexi, and an animal lover! I offer customized care for each animal I watch to ensure that you & your pet/pets are comfortable and happy. Since I was 13 I have been taking care of my families/ friends pets & used to dog walk for the people in my neighborhood before moving. I have my own cats named mace and lili who are both indoor. mace is a nebelung who I rescued from a barn at 6 months and lili is a mixed breed who was given to me at 3 months. I live in a condo complex with a nice sidewalk as well as a park nearby to play at! Not only am I a respectful and trustworthy person, but can assure you that your furry friend is in great hands when they are with me. 💕 I am a mother, have a degree in holistic medicine, student, and own my own pet service company! I have a pretty open schedule until I start school again and am available all throughout the day 7 days a week:) My cats mace and lili are both indoor cats. They have plenty of space to roam including a screened patio to bird watch on as well as a massive cat tower with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I feed them both wet food twice a day and they free feed on dry.
“We were out of town for two days and Rachel and Stefan stepped into help us last minute take care of our dogs. We could not have been happier with their service. The dogs seemed content and happy when we returned and the house was left in an orderly condition. They followed our instructions for dog care and asked pertinent questions. I would definitely use them again for our furry pups.”
About: I've grown up with Collie's, cats, ducks, squirrels, hamsters and many other critters. I have a loving spirit for animals. Some times I think they are more thoughtful than people. I'm just hoping to find some good hearted animals to take care of...My mother was an avid rescuer of animals and I got involved through the years and would love to provide someone's dog with the same love and attention that I would like my own animals to receive. I have experience with all types of animals and I'm willing to come to your home and give your animals the same love and attention I give my own animal. I am a little leary of pits and rottweilers so keep that in mind when choosing me to care for your dogs.
“Melissa was wonderful. Right on time, followed instructions, and took excellent care of my puppy. Definitely would recommend her to others and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I have 7 years experience with cats, dogs, and various other animals! I am very caring and devoted to the animals I care for & watch! I’m always available & always open to taking new animals! I currently need to come up with $700 before the 22nd of June for an emergency, so I’m willing to take all offers for animals! I do have a gofundme if anybody would be interested in viewing or sharing it as well, but looking to take any & all pet requests right now! I do have a kitten, & always have cat food & everything included on hand.. I will also be providing sometimes for the animals I get requests for! :) I have open availability! The animals I care & provide for always come first! I always make sure they’re needs are taken care of from the top of the morning till the end of the night. I show affection & make sure the animals in my care feel very safe, loved & cared for! I make they’re happy & healthy, and in a well maintained home
“Kyla was amazing. she took very good care of my dog while I was away. she always updated me with photos daily and is very sweet and kind. Definitely will always use her to house sit when im gone. she is the best! my pup was well taken care of and I could tell he enjoyed her too!”
About: I’ve been the “pet sitter” my entire life as well as raising babies of my own from the time I was young. Ive fostered a ton of dogs and can handle all sizes / breeds. I am the “go-to” friend for pet care and help. Animals naturally gravitate towards me. I can handle basic training as well as sticking to a routine. I have a huge heart full of love and will love your animal like my own! I will always send pictures of them to remind you that they are happy, healthy, and in good hands. If your dog is active, and or used to being around others or if they are shy and like to stay home, I am happy to hangout however your pet is most comfortable. Bonus points if they like being a passenger princess in the car! I work from home so I am around 24/7. I love to wake up very early and go on long walks before it’s too hot and I’m continually active throughout the day. I have a very flexible schedule My apartment has a dog park, I live next to a trail along the water and park as well so ample amount of space to walk/play/run. I prefer to have instruction from client on how/what they expect and want from my services as they know their pet best. I am very clean and will never leave a mess, even if it was created prior to me arriving.
“Elle always takes such good care of our pooch Allie. This is the second time we’ve had her stay at our place and we always feel so comfortable and confident that Allie and our house are well taken care of. Can’t recommend Elle enough!”
“Skye was fantastic with our puppy. We were especially impressed by how attentive and proactive Skye was — taking the time to learn her cues and routines, working with her on training, and even noticing things that helped us after we came home. Skye was incredibly organized, communicative, honest, and took initiative whenever something came up. We came home to a happy puppy who had actually made progress while we were gone. It was very clear that Skye put a lot of thought and effort into caring for her, and we would absolutely trust Skye with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swartz Creek
Kaitlin is the absolute best! I was needing a sitter for my dog over Christmas and she came through for me! She was incredibly reliable and made me feel that my pup was in the best of hands while I was away. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone needing a pet sitter. She is especially great with my big oaf of a German shepherd and handles his crazy energy very well!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Swartz Creek is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $67 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 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 , 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.
