“Grace is awesome! Took great care of Daisy on very short notice. Was professional and kept a good eye on Daisy and kept her active with lots of photos. Can’t recommend Grace highly enough!!”
About: I have been caring for cats and dogs ever since I was young. I have cared for animals of all ages young to senior. I have experience administering pills and I have helped follow suit of owners training while they are away. I currently do pet sitting full time, and it is the best job I could ask for! I love filling my days with overnights, dog walking, and drop in visits. More often than not, I am somewhere snuggling and giving attention to dogs and cats! I will be extra attentive and follow the same routine that they are used to. Walks, playing fetch, whatever the case may be I will do my best to make your animals feel comforted and cared for while you, the owner, is away. I will care for them as if they are my own.
“Cameron did a great job while watching my two huskies. I was out of town for two days and one night and he did exactly as I asked and took great care of my girls. I look forward to using Cameron again in the future.”
“We were very comfortable leaving Hemi with Jennifer. We received updates daily and appreciated her positive attitude even though Hemi had stomach issues while we were gone. I would book Jennifer again and highly recommend. Thanks Jennifer!”
About: Well I've always lived in a home with a dog. I started taking care of dogs when I was six years old because my mom felt it was a great way to develop responsibility. Furthermore I was an only child so having a dog present makes up for the time alone. However I always watched my family members dogs often beginning at the age of ten. My family saw how responsible I was with my pet and how I admire dogs so they decided to offer me extra allowance when I watched over their dogs starting at that age (10). Later when I turned 14 and attended high school I wrote an essay about my first dogs which were two Dalmations and everyone loved it and discovered my pet sitting history with my family's dogs so it transitioned to me officially pet sitting other dogs. This helped a lot because I played sports year round in high school making it hard to find a job that would hire temporarily. My mom informed me of this site and I thought it would great to join rover and take on this golden and fun opportunity. Work isn't work when you love what you're doing.
“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”
“Brea did a great watching our three dogs while we were out of town. In addition to that, our furnace had broke, and Brea took on extra duties of keeping our pups warm and the house, too. Now that the dogs know her, we will have again to watch the dogs.”
“Amy was amazing with Axl. She took such great care of him and our house while we were away. Even fed the fish and watered our plants as needed. Would highly recommend Amy. Very professional and amazing with animals!”
“We had a good experience with Lauren for overnight with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. I can only say I wish there were a few more updates throughout, but absolutely no issues. Thank you, Lauren”
About: I have experience in dog training, dog fostering and volunteering at animal shelters with many different animals. I absolutely love working with dogs and will be studying at Columbia Law School to eventually work in animal rights! I am currently free everyday at whatever time is needed. I will be working a couple part time jobs so just need a little bit of notice to make it work:) I have worked with all ages of dogs and all different behaviors and am happy to do a meet and greet before the first care day!
“Sarah took such amazing care of our dog, two cats, and home while we were out of town. She provided picture updates throughout the day. I didn’t have to worry at all about my babies while we were gone. Her communication was top notch. I will definitely use Sarah again!”
“Nick was fantastic!!! He came through for us when we were in a last-minute pinch when another sitter cancelled on us unexpectedly. He was immediately available for a meet and greet, extremely well-prepared, and communicative throughout the entire stay. Our dog was the happiest camper and our home was spotless upon returning. We will definitely be reaching out to Nick again and we’re incredibly grateful for his care!”
“Rebekkah was amazing with Tucker. We had some very serious health issues occur while she was sitting for him, and she handled everything with kindness, grace, and professionalism. Her communication was great. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Absolutely Amazing!!!!! I could not recommend Jennifer enough. Her love and care for my two dogs was out of this world. They were sad to see her leave and cant wait to have their new play friend back. She took such great care of my home as well and went over and beyond. I would give her a 10 star review if it were possible.”
“Charles took good care of our dogs, He was not fazed at the initial meet & greet when our younger but larger dog was quite excited and jumpy. He arrived on time and provided creatively silly updates on our pups. We would definitely like to book his services again.”
“Pavlina was amazing!! She took great care of Bodi and our home, and we look forward to booking here in the future. Bodi says, "Thank you" for taking such good care of him.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Walled Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Walled Lake on Rover is $38.06 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 2,628 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Walled Lake. 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 Walled Lake 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 Walled Lake 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 Walled Lake 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.
