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.

Kathy is simply the best!!! I can tell from the photos she sent during our trip that our Critters absolutely adored her based on the smiles on their sweet faces and we agree that she is a rare gem! Not only did she take pawfect care of our Pack, our Nest was nicely cared for as well!! I especially appreciate that she is able to spend so much time with the Critters as Critter Sitting is her main gig! Highly recommend! We’ve already booked future dates and are all looking forward to seeing Kathy 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.

Erin was amazing!! We hired her to watch our two boxers while we were out of town for a wedding weekend and I genuinely could not be happier with her service. She was so great with our crazy girls, she was communicative, provided regular updates, and was extremely respectful of our home. Will definitely be asking her back in the future, 10/10 recommend!! Thank you Erin!

About: As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, attentive to senior pets who may need extra care and monitoring, and comfortable following detailed instructions, including administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! * Tuesday–Thursday: In-office in Novi from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM * Friday–Monday: Working remotely from home with a flexible schedule On my remote days, I’m able to provide more frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Even on my in-office days, I’m available before and after work and can accommodate morning, evening, and overnight care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. My biggest goal is to reduce as much stress as possible while you’re away by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and providing a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I understand that every pet is different—some want constant attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for.

Lauren was the best pet sitter ever. she and Shrek hit it off right away and I instantly knew he was going to be well taken care of and safe. She sent picture updates everyday of them playing in the yard and cuddling. She also took excellent care of my house, I couldn't even tell anyone had been there when I got home. 10/10 would recommend. I will be using her every time I go out of town from now on.

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and other household pets. I’ve cleaned fish tanks and reptile enclosures, given baths, maintained feeding schedules, provided exercise, administered basic medications when instructed, and cared for both puppies and senior pets. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every animal like family, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, happiness, and individual needs. As an entrepreneur, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate my clients’ needs. Whether you need morning, afternoon, evening, weekend, or holiday care, I can often adjust my availability. I prioritize reliability, communication, and consistency, ensuring your pets receive dependable, personalized care that fits seamlessly into your routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment for every pet. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions, maintain their normal routines, and ensure doors, gates, tanks, and enclosures are secure at all times. I keep spaces clean, provide close supervision when needed, and make sure every pet feels comfortable and stress-free. If you would like, I am happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand for your personal peace of mind, so you can feel confident knowing your fur baby or scaly reptilian is in good hands.

About: I have loved all pets since I was kid;) I normally help friends with their dogs, but I was trying to branch out;) I used to just have cats, but we added two bunnies to the mix and may adopt more. I work full time Monday-Friday at home, but I have a lot of flexibility, as long as I get my 8 hrs at work in;) I would prefer the clients home to visit. I have 3 cats and 2 bunnies at this time;) My place is relatively smaller and pets like to be in their common place.

Charles was amazing! We house sat for us for eight days and we have a quite a crew with two dogs, two cats and seven chickens. He was very communicative from before we booked through the trip, sending pics every day and reaching out whenever he had a question. He also watered our flowers. It was such a great experience to have a sitter our pets loved and who took such good care of our house. We will definitely have Charles hang with out pets again!

Leaving your animals and home in the care of someone you don't know is always a little scary. Meeting Skye, I knew both would be in great hands! She has a calm and caring demeanor. I received daily updates with tons of detail, pictures and videos. We came home to happy critters and a clean house. She even washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed! I will definitely book with her again!

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I’ve been taking care of animals for friends and family for at least the last 3 years- I always love taking care of whoever I can! I can provide part-time and full-time weekend care, and am trained in pet CPR and safety! I’m capable of administering medication, and can be reliable in the time needed to feed, let outside, and do everything else that dogs need to be happy! I’ll also give consistent update messages to let you know what’s happening on a day-to-day basis! I’m currently only available on weekends when I have an available car, as I’m currently getting approved for an auto loan on a new car! But anytime then, I’d love to help out on the pet care side! I’m experienced in dealing with multiple different homes, and can do whatever is needed for pet care, such as crating dogs or scooping litter boxes!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I used to go over to my neighbors house to play with their German Shepard before finally convincing my parents to get a dog of our own. I play with and love on all the dogs in my neighborhood (6) whenever I see them. Dogs bring me so much happiness and I truly can’t imagine my life without them. For the past 7 years, I have dog sat/house sat for family and friends, to make sure the dog does not experience stress from leaving home and taking care of mail and garage days for their peace of mind as well. I have stayed and watched dogs for over a week while they were on vacation, or for their simple weekend get away. I enjoy staying in with the dogs and getting some good cuddles. I have experience giving on time and correct medication to 3 dogs, as well as keeping consistent to their diet and feeding schedule. I do work full time but I enjoy spending my weekends relaxing and being around dogs, whether that will be your dog, or just my neighbors dogs. When staying at your home, I will abide by any and all rules you have for you dog, down to the T. I will treat your dog as my own and treat your house with respect as I would hope someone would mine. I, personally, feel it’s important to stay with the dog the whole time I am with them so I often do not leave the home, as a comfort to the dog(s) and to the owners to know someone is always there.

FAQs for House Sitting - White Lake

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in White Lake on Rover is $32.7 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,179 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across White 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 White 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 White 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 White 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in White Lake. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% can help with daily exercise

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.
