“Eva is amazing! My cat Nyx is very shy,but Eva went above and beyond to connect/ interact with Nyx!! She sent me many photos of Nyx each visit, including photos of how much food Nyx ate, general well- being. I highly recommend her!!!!”
“Nicholas is amazing with my dog Killian. He is patient & kind. Nicholas pays close attention to what Killian wants & needs to make him feel comfortable with him. He is punctual & I'd great communicating with me. I highly recommend Nicholas & we will hire him again.”
“Alexi was wonderful! She and River got along great, she was on time and communicative for every visit, overall a lovely and reassuring experience that eased our minds while we were away! Plus, the pics were adorable! Highly recommend!”
“Ray is the man!! He was great with both my cat and my silly lab. Being an ocean away from home was worrisome, but Ray made it easier on all of us, by keeping my fur-babies well cared for, and keeping me and my family aware of how they were doing. I have nothing I can say, but thank you!! =)”
“Christina did an amazing job of bonding with my cat. It gave me enormous reassurance while I was traveling to know he was being well cared for. Thanks a million Christina. You're at the top of my list when I'm traveling in the future.”
“Celia was my first ever Dogsitter/Rover experience. I was anxious leaving my dog behind because I didn’t know what to expect — from hiring a sitter or from my Leo. But Celia calmed those nerves at our meet and greet. Seeing how quickly Leo fell in love with her made me feel confident that he was in good hands. With each visit, I knew when she arrived and when she left. I received photos and videos of my boy enjoying his snuggles and eating. Communication was a breeze! And her level of flexibility also helped. I’m so grateful to have found Celia and couldn’t recommend her more!! I’ll definitely be tapping her again for any future needs.”
“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!”
“Elise was great with my pups giving them lots of love and play time while I was away. She was able to accommodate our last minute plans and gave our dogs the quality time they needed.”
“Mary Kay has helped us for years and she is always so dependable and attentive to our little loved ones. She is a wonderful person and sitter. We can’t recommend her more highly.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs throughout my life and currently have one border collie at home. I’m used to 1+ hour walks multiple times a day (as needed), lots and lots of engaged playtime, and work to put furry family members first! 🐕 🐾 I’m a college student that is currently on summer break; as such, I have a very flexible schedule at the moment (mornings, afternoons, evenings, etc) I make sure keep doors open/headphones off when at home/while dogsitting so that animals don’t have to work to get my attention when they need it—I aim for at least two long walks a day with my high energy dog, with shorter potty breaks interspersed during the day. I understand the importance of accurate portion control for pets and make it a point to keep animals healthy with accurate meal sizes and monitor their water intake throughout the day.
“Isabelle was amazing! I loved reading her descriptions of her visits and the photos of my babies 💖 I was comforted on my trip knowing she was taking such good care of them. I could tell she really loves animals and my cat MooMoo definitely misses her already lolll, I'll for sure be booking again in the future 💕”
“Great communication! She was quick to respond to any message or question we had. Very professional and our dog had no issue warming up to her. Would highly recommend! Plan to use her again in the future.”
“Hannah was fantastic with my puppy Freddie!! She accommodated a last minute request with flexibility and ease. She kept me well updated, sent photos, and it was clear that Freddie loved spending the day with her. Would absolutely rebook in the future!!”
“Samantha was incredibly responsive and offered to come meet our dogs before any services were booked to make sure everyone was comfortable. She took extra care with our rescue who needed a bit of extra support and was flexible in walking our other dog solo. We really enjoyed her updates and pictures from the visits.”
“Ashleigh did a fantastic job with my two cats while I was away :) She followed all instructions perfectly and sent some great photos of them. 10/10 and will use their services again!”

Fantastic drop in dog sitter. Always on time for drop ins and provided great notes and feedback about how he was behaving, eating, going to the bathroom and interacting with her. She also provided some very helpful tips. Can't say enough good things about how she helped with my older and more challenging dog. Will definitely be relying on her for future drop in visits.
Kristina is wonderful! I have a very nervous and reactive dog and Kristina came over to meet my dog before babysitting and was great with my dog. She sent lots of photos and updates during her visit to let me know how my dog was doing with her which was much appreciated. Will definitely be a repeat customer with Kristina!
Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.
Alyson is truly a dog person. She was awesome with Missy. She followed my instructions for her and went above and beyond caring for her. I ran out of her premium dog food, and Alyson brought some to replace it while I was gone, which was so thoughtful of her and Missy was so grateful for that. I am looking forward to having Alyson back to care from Missy again. I feel very comfortable, leaving her in her care.
Abby was a life saver for our last minute dog walking booking while we went on vacation! Our dog stayed with my mom, who told us our dog was very comfortable with Abby and she was very communicative regarding pick up times and how our puppy was doing on the walks. Abby even sent us a cute video of our dog while walking which reassured us she was in good hands. We will be booking with her again!

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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
