“Grace house sit for us for almost 3 weeks and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to have her take care of our cat and our home! Our cat does best with someone around, and she bonded with Grace quickly! The house was left clean, and we could tell our cat was well taken care of while we were away! We hope to have Grace take care of her again soon!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since before I completed my undergraduate degree in Animal Science, taking part in rescue organizations and volunteering as a foster. I also have 2 dogs (7 and 4 y/o) that I raised since they were puppies. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats. If your pets have any special needs, let me know and we can discuss! I'm currently finishing up a PhD in animal science at MSU, so I have a somewhat flexible schedule that can be adjusted based on your needs. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is flexible as I build it myself. I can adjust based on pet care needs, as well as do check-ins throughout the day. Being an owner of two very different dogs, I understand that there are different requirements and needs for each pet, so I will take care of your pet based on any of the requirements you set.

About: I grew up on a dairy farm, and currently work as a dog groomer in Okemos! I’ve cared for animals all my life. This includes cows, pigs, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, guinea hens, sheep and I even have two geckos! I have shown cows and sheep at the county fair, so don’t worry if you have a large dog that likes to pull or play tug of war! I worked at an animal shelter dealing with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I hang out with my siblings often who also have dogs, a cane corso and two elkhound mixes, and we’ve had labs and pomeranians in the past. I have experience giving oral/topical medications to dogs, cats, sheep, and cows. I am also open to taking care of any other pets or farm animals you may have! I work 4-5 days a week at Dog Gone Fun in Okemos. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask! I have cared for a variety of dogs- different breeds, all ages, all temperaments. I grew up with dogs my whole life (among other animals), and I have learned a lot from my experiences about how to read an animals body language.

About: I've grown up with various dogs my whole life. I currently own a husky and a corgi. I know how to use an E-collar and a prong collar. I love long walks from a mile to 4 miles or more. I'll even run with your dog if you like. Not a fan of dog parks? That's okay, I'm liery of them too. I'm patient and okay with cleaning up messes. I'm currently unemployed. I just got married and my husband and I would like to start a family. Walking pregnant will keep me in shape and keep busy as well as out of the house. My husband works from home. This is meant to be a stable side job. Not looking to make a profit just some side cash flow. Regular potty breaks and walks daily. Lots of cuddles and brushing if they let me. Games of fetch if that's their thing. Monitor their wrestling time so they don't get too carried away.
About: I have helped friends and family throughout my life in caring for their pets in addition to caring for my own. I have raised kittens from birth, rescued dogs from bad home situations and more. Our pets are part of our family and should be treated as such I am available any time other than Sundays to provide excellent care and enrichment for your pets, including emergency calls. I know how busy and chaotic life can be, and sometimes circumstances call for last minute changes My top priority in this line of work is safety, for you, your pets, your home, and myself. I have worked with animals my whole life and understand how they communicate their wants and needs, and I strive to make sure that your home and pets are always returned to you in the same (if not better) state than when I arrived
About: I've been caring for / fostering animals for 6+ years. As a medical student, I'm organized, reliable, and calm under pressure, and I'm comfortable giving medications and following detailed care instructions. I'll stick to your pet's routine and send updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they're doing. I study from home most days, so your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. I'll keep them on their usual feeding and walk schedule and make plenty of time for play and attention. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with lots of yard space and nearby walking trails. I keep doors closed and hazards out of reach, use a leash on every walk, and follow your instructions for food, medications, and emergencies.
About: Hi! I’m Ema, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have several years of experience with both dog walking and pet sitting, and I treat every pup like they’re my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they’re safe, happy, and loved. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, older dogs who need a gentler pace, and everything in between. You can count on me to provide reliable, caring service and plenty of updates while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently working full-time hours from 8-4 and working from home on Fridays. I am available for early morning and evening walks/runs, as I live an active lifestyle. I have open weekend availability. I have an unfenced yard and lots of indoor living space. I live in a walkable area with many dog parks nearby. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Williamston
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Grace! Not only did they take exceptional care of our pets, giving them all the attention and comfort they needed and sending daily photos and updates, but also did the dishes! That's just above and beyond. It was such a thoughtful surprise to come home to happy pets and a tidy kitchen. Grace's reliability, kindness, and attention to detail truly sets her apart. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone who treats your home and pets with genuine care.
Malena was great! Oliver loved her and she took great care of him, including giving him his daily medication. She also sent frequent updates with pictures so we could see he was doing well and communicated with us about our return time. In addition, she kept the house clean, and got our mail. It was so nice not to have to worry about Oliver or an empty house while we were gone. We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Williamston is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Williamston 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 Williamston 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 Williamston 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.

- 95% 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.
