“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”
“We are very grateful for Jomari’s care and dedication to our special guy. Dublin loves his family and always gets sad when we have to take a trip without him. Jomari made him feel comfortable and relieved his separation anxiety. Jomari is amazing.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Jennifer was awesome and I would highly recommend her to watch your pets. We hired her for a 5 day/4 night engagement to watch our moderate energy 5 year old Bernese mountain dog. She sent pics and texts a few times a day which eased my mind! He got plenty of walks and love. Jennifer approaches this form a business owner perspective and even had a PDF “Pet and House Guide” for me to fill out ahead of time that thought of all the random pet and house info so I didn’t have to stress about what to leave notes about. In addition to all this, Jennifer even ran the dishwasher and laundry before she left. Your pets and home will be well cared for with Jennifer!”
“Carolyn was very attentive to my dogs specific needs. It was our first trip longer than a week and he was well taken care of while we were away. She was very responsive and sent many updates which were appreciated I would absolutely use her again.”
“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.”
“Christina is extremely friendly and professional. Our animals loved her. 100% would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter while vacationing. Thank you Christina 🫶”
About: I have had dogs my whole life and responsibly took care of them myself. I have also been a dog/cat sitter for many family friends throughout highschool and college! I love any and all animals and must stop to pet any dog whenever I see one! I am will to walk dogs morning or night on days that I work and can walk during the day on off days. I’m also available to make house visits to take of animals morning and night on workdays and all day on off days! Make sure they are being good and not getting into anything that could harm them while they’re in my house! Since I don’t have any fencing I would make sure to keep them in a leash when going outside
“Melissa was absolutely amazing, this is the first time that I have ever left my little guy home with a sitter and she was absolutely amazing with him. She followed directions to a tee when it came to his meds and getting to know him I already have her booked for next Saturday. My little guy is my life and my heart and she took care of him like I would, she asked questions and she did absolutely fantastic. I would recommend Melissa for anybody who has fear, anxiety or stress over leaving their pets. Melissa gets five stars for me because she is a pet star in my book.”
About: I’m a dog and cat lover with a Golden Retriever and older cat of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. They’re all family to me. I work from home part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide care when you need it. I’m happy to care for your pet in my home or yours—or simply stop by for some company, playtime, walks, and attention. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or just want your pet to have a little extra love while you’re away, I’d love to help! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available to provide care in my home or in your pet’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I love spending time with animals and am happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and plenty of love while you’re away. I would prefer to take care of pets in their environment but I always treat them like family. I prefer complete honesty if a dog is fearful or tends to run or hide. Pets are like family and I take that responsibility very seriously.
“Mackenzie is the best pet sitter! My guy can be very leery of new people and she has sat with him now twice...he is very comfortable with her which I so appreciate! The house is left spotless and I come home to very happy dog! I have already booked her again.”
“If you give dogs treats after they go outside, they will be much more interested in doing so in the first place. Giving them beforehand is not a proper way to train a dog. Thank you for your help!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them is basically second nature to me. I’m the kind of person who baby-talks every animal I see, stops to say hello to every pup on a walk, and ends up in the corner of a party hanging out with the host’s pet instead of socializing with the humans. Friends, family, and even complete strangers have told me for years that I should have gone into veterinary medicine because of how naturally I connect with animals. Instead, I work in a hospital laboratory helping people. It’s fulfilling, but there’s nothing quite like a healthy dose of puppy cuddles. This year, I lost both of my girls, and their absence has left a huge hole in my heart. My home is much quieter without them, and I have a whole lot of love with nowhere to go. That’s what brought me to Rover. I’d love nothing more than to spoil your pets with that extra love while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in safe, caring, and responsible hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including young dogs who need patience, playtime, and structure as they learn, as well as senior pets who may need a little extra attention and TLC. I’m a strong communicator and will keep you updated so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll play with them, talk to them (probably way too much), give them plenty of affection, respect their routines, and absolutely accept any and all slobbery kisses. Your pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away and I’m the girl for the job. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! I work full-time on the night shift, which gives me quite a bit of flexibility during the day. I work four 10-hour shifts each week and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, so weekends are especially easy for me to accommodate. That said, I’m more than happy to help during the week, too! Because I work nights, my sleep schedule is flexible, and I can adjust it around pet-care needs when I have advance notice. Depending on the day, I may sleep right after getting home in the morning, stay up for a while and sleep later in the afternoon, or even split my sleep into a couple of naps. Basically, as long as I know when you’ll need me, I can plan my schedule around your pets and make sure they get the attention and care they need. My goal is to make pet care fit seamlessly into your pet’s normal routine while giving you peace of mind that someone dependable is there for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive to their routines, behavior, and individual needs, and I’ll always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or have questions about their care. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment, so I’m unable to board pets at my place right now. I’m completely comfortable caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable. I’ve also stayed at friends’ and family members’ homes for days or even weeks at a time to care for their pets, so I’m comfortable with house sitting when needed. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to let your pet out for a potty break, give them some exercise and playtime, feed them if needed, and spend some quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Above all, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.
The median cost per night for house sitting in West Bloomfield Township is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Bloomfield Township
She did a wonderful job watching our girl while we were away. She kept us updated every day and sent photos every day. Our 10yr old Great Dane is a glorified body pillow at this point, she doesn’t cause trouble and can stay alone for decent periods of time, even so, Rebecca asked us if was ok if she stayed out later one evening! Very considerate and respectful. Im also convinced that our house was cleaner when we came than how we left it. 10/10 recommend!
Josiah is an exceptional dog sitter with many years of experience working with dogs in different capacities. He is patient and kind and went out of his way to share ideas on how to help our new puppy adjust to her new environment. He kept me informed on how our puppy was doing while we were out, adhered to our puppy’s routine, and my house was exceptionally clean upon my return. I would highly recommend him to friends and family looking for a dog sitter.
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Leaving our beloved dog, Lucy, for three weeks while we traveled through Europe was one of the hardest parts of our trip. From the moment we met her, all of our worries disappeared. She didn’t just care for our dog, she cared for our entire home as if it were her own. Every single day she kept us updated with thoughtful messages, adorable photos, and videos that brought us so much comfort while we were thousands of miles away. It was obvious that Lucy wasn’t just being watched; she was genuinely loved. In fact, by the end of our trip I joked that Lucy might choose her over us! Watching the bond they developed was one of the greatest gifts she could have given us. She went far beyond anything we ever expected from a pet sitter. She brought in our mail, cared for our plants, looked after our home with incredible attention to detail, and left everything absolutely immaculate. We returned to a happy, relaxed dog and a house that looked even better than when we left. What truly sets her apart, though, is the kind of person she is. She is one of the kindest, most thoughtful, trustworthy, and compassionate people we have ever met. Her love for animals is unmistakable, and the care she provides comes straight from the heart. She treated Lucy like family, and she treated us with the same warmth and kindness throughout our entire trip. Finding someone you trust with your pet and your home is priceless. Finding someone who exceeds every expectation is incredibly rare. We feel beyond fortunate to have found her. She has earned our complete trust, our highest recommendation, and undoubtedly our future bookings. We’ve already begun recommending her to our family and friends because people like her are truly one of a kind. Thank you for giving us the freedom to enjoy our trip knowing that Lucy was not only safe, but genuinely happy and loved. We will be forever grateful. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (And if there were 10 stars, she would deserve every single one.)
Me and Marley adore her! It was such a pleasure having her dog sit for me. Marley is a very anxious dog and tends to be shy around new people. Taylor was very understanding, patient, and loving towards Marley. He grew to love her and felt very comfortable with her. We can’t wait for her next visit! 10/10 recommend.

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 West Bloomfield Township 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 West Bloomfield Township 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 West Bloomfield Township 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
