House and pet sitting jobs in Detroit

Set your Detroit coverage area when you build your profile, and house sitting requests come from owners inside it. Near me is something you define here rather than something you search, and you can change the areas whenever your availability does.

Choose as many services as you want to cover. In Detroit, house sitting and dog walking sit side by side on one profile with separate rates, so a quiet week in one does not mean a quiet week overall.
