“Noah is an "Exceptional" Young Man! He is very caring my Dog "Loved" him from the first meet and greet. Noah was very punctual and always made sure my dog had "Everything"he needed each day. That means the "World " to me, because I was out of town. Noah thought of things to do for my dog that I had forgotten to tell him. I have an extended stay out of town, and Noah is my choice for a second time! Thank You, Noah, "Endlessly" for taking excellent 24 Karat Gold care of my fur baby!”
“Lauren did a fantastic job caring for our cats! I can see they were well fed and played with while we were away. Lauren was very communicative and treated our home with care. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had pets pretty much my entire life so I have plenty of experience, particularly with cats. My family is known as the neighbourhood pet sitters, watching dogs, cats, a hamster, and even a bearded dragon. I am a stay-at-home mom of older kids. That allows me plenty of flexibility to drop in for pet visits and dog walking as needed. Since I have my own vehicle, I can drop in easily to check on your baby (or babies). I love taking long walks, so if you have a dog who loves to walk, I am happy to go along for the ride.
About: There is no amount of words that I can use to describe my passion for our four legged furry friends. Each one of us chooses a dog based off of our characteristics.I love seeing the human-dog relationship. My dog Scout is now 8 and a rescued pure bred mutt! She is one of a kind. Dogs bring out my passion, they are such smart creatures. It is a blessing the Lord created them because I can not imagine a world without our precious friends in our lives. My love for dogs started when I was six, my grandma had a beautiful collie named Shadow, but I was his shadow: I followed him absolutely everywhere. I remember each christmas I would fall asleep with him under the christmas tree. Having to put him down was honestly the hardest and most saddening events that I can remember. They work their way into our hearts and families. I have taken care of many breeds of dogs from the smallest pomeranian to Chief the great dane! They do get quite pampered care with me I have to say. The owners I work with have all loved the care and passion I put into taking individual care of each other pets. Its like taking care of a child. No child is the same. You have to love and treat them each in their own special way to make them feel at home and protected. Every animal deserves the utmost care! I take pride in being able to say I truly love to make every dogs day a pampered one! I currently am working part time in my evenings as a caregiver for two young adults with physical and cognitive disabilities. So my day schedule is pretty open. Thursdays I work 10 to 7 but can work in a break in the day for your dog and then just feed before or after work. My dog scout is a princess, not overly fond of sharing her space, but that comes from her past as a rescue. So I am willing to care for your pup in their home environment. Helping them feel safe and loved when owners are away.
About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and a pet parent for many years. I will bring all my experience to taking care of your pets. As I have flexibility to work remotely I will be able to take care of your pets on weekdays and weekends. I have enough time for walks and playtime. I have an extremely friendly dog and a dog friendly cat. They will keep your pet company. There is sufficient space in the house to run around and play.
“Ramya was wonderful! She did drop in visits with my cat for the weekend. She was responsive, sent great updates with pictures, and my cat really loved her! I would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I grew up in North Carolina on my grandmother’s hobby farm. I have cared for just about every animal you can think of not just cats and dogs! All animals deserve love and care especially while their favorite human is away. I am currently working as a clerk for USPS and often get off of work at 10 in the morning leaving me with plenty of time to care for your pet! My schedule is subject to change but I am flexible and so is my job. Any schedule change can be worked around and I am always free in the evenings. I work no later than 5 on the days I am scheduled for a full day. At this time I live in an apartment with my two cats, they are very well cared for and I keep my living space extremely clean and tidy so that they can live their lives in a cozy environment. I never leave out anything that could harm them. My partner has an Australian blue heeler that I love and care for as my own. I take him for 2+ mile walks sometimes twice a day when his normal walker is not available. I care for all animals as if they are my own because they deserve the same love we do.
About: Hi, I am your pet's next best friend! My friends even call me Snow White because I adore animals of all sizes. I have spent my whole life with dogs and bring a lifetime of personal experience. Plus, as a rescue volunteer, I have fostered, trained, and found forever homes for many dogs. Your pet's safety, health, and happiness are my top goals. I promise to love them like my own and send plenty of fun photo updates! I cannot wait to meet your fur babies! Send a message today to book a meet-and-greet. I typically have a very flexible daily schedule, so I am able to tailor your pets care for their specific needs! I'm usually available daily between 10 am-8 pm. I understand that safety is your top priority for your pet when leaving them with me. I have experience working with many different types of animal temperaments. I aim to keep pets calm, happy, and stress-free so we don’t find ourselves in an unsafe position.
“Maddie was super great! She took excellent care of our cats and home. She was kind, timely, and respectful to us, our cats, and our space. I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Maddie!”
“Erica is AMAZING! My poor pup wasn't feeling well and had an upset tummy. She cleaned him and his "lunch" up, fed him a little, and comforted him. Shes truly amazing and will be for anyone's baby. Thank you so much!”
“Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of our two large dogs! She spent quality time with them, sent us pictures every day, took care of any messes and left our house nice and clean! I would highly recommend Stephanie and we will definitely call in her again.”
About: New to Rover, BUT I have around 4 years of experience sitting both cats and dogs! I’ve also worked with all kinds of breeds of both puppies and seniors. Would love to build up clientele and I have a very flexible schedule! I am a part time student with lots of time to devote to caring for pets! I have only 3 classes a week and a very flexible schedule outside of that I work exclusively in client’s homes. Safety is always guaranteed as pets will never be left unattended. Specific conditions depend on owners preferences and pets individual needs

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Farmington Hills
Sarahcate was once again absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, communication was seamless. I received regular updates, detailed Rover cards, and plenty of great photos of my dog Buddy. It gave me total peace of mind knowing Buddy was in such caring and capable hands. Truly reliable, professional, and attentive. I will absolutely be booking Sarahcate again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier walker!
Lauren was EXCELLENT! Sometimes when I'm not home my little old lady dog refuses to eat, but Lauren got her to eat almost her full bowl every meal! And, bless her heart, I'm worried about letting my dogs out at night because of a skunk in my yard... Lauren went out there every night with the flashlight and made noise to scare the skunk away. She truly went above and beyond! She is very knowledgeable about animals of all kinds and she was super sweet. My dogs absolutely loved her. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you Lauren!
Aixa, was very responsive and made a special trip to meet me and Luna that Saturday before her appointment. Luna takes a while to get used to new people and Aixa was very patient with her and able to coax Luna into her harness and take her for a long walk. Aixa sent very detailed updates and even video footage! I will definitely use her again!
This was our second time having Noah take care of our Dog, Ghost. I was so impressed with Noah the first time, he is an 'Exceptional Young Man". Very caring, always in communication with us while we are away, letting us know how Ghost is doing. Noah is very punctual and really loves animals, it shows in everything he does for Ghost. Thank You, so much Noah, for taking excellent care of Ghost for a second time! BB

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Farmington Hills stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Farmington Hills 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!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Farmington Hills with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
