About: Hi! My name is Paris, and I have a strong background working with animals in both customer service and veterinary settings. I currently work as a veterinary receptionist, where I interact with pets and their owners daily and help ensure they receive attentive, compassionate care. I’ve always loved animals and understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, structured routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I’m responsible, communicative, and detail-oriented. I take pet safety seriously and will always treat your dog like family. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! Pet care fits into my daily schedule, saying that I have my own two, pet care starts as soon as i wake and ends when they wind down. Though i do have a helping hand, so ill be able to tend to other felines and fidos on my days off. I take care of pets as soon as the sun rises, we start with morning potty, feeding and then we relax and go for a walk then we let the day takeover and play, maybe a car ride until dinner time. I ensure my pets are safe anyway i can, doggy seat belts, booties on hot days, safety collar/recall for off leash walks and watching out for their surroundings on and off leash.
About: I have never lived in a house without a dog! I have helped my family take care of our dogs my entire life, ranging from a large American Bulldog to a little pug. I often watch and walk/run my sister's one-year-old pit-mix, who is super high energy. I always manage to find a dog no matter where I am, giving it as much love as possible! I currently only work part-time as I am out of school for the summer, so my schedule is quite open. My work schedule varies week to week, but my shifts are short, allowing for multiple visits per day. I always make sure dogs are comfortable with my actions by moving slowly and calmly, building their trust. When walking, I make sure to hold the leash with two hands and keep an eye out for other startling pedestrians and animals nearby.
“We had a great experience having Emily take care of our little Angel. It was the first time we'd left her alone overnight, and Emily was very good at keeping us informed, letting us know that Angel was healthy and happy. We know she had a good time with Emily because she was not frantic or depressed when we came home. (Which she has been on occasion when we left her alone for most of a day.) We're mostly homebodies, but if we ever have another overnight event to attend, we would have no qualms at all about leaving her in Emily's care.”
“She was a natural with my pups. Came to meet then before hand and spent dedicated time playing with them while she was watching them durring the scheduled time. Sent great pictures and details too!”
“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!”
“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.”

“Working with Bethany is super easy! I trust her with my animals care and now she’ll do exactly what we ask. She stops in for 30 minute visits with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. Looking forward to using Bethany again!”
“Shelly was great with my 2 year old Pitbull Dalmatian mix, I highly recommend! Shelly came for a meet & greet on very short notice & impressed me immediately. She was very gentle & comforting to my timid, reactive, & nervous momma from the 1st moment they met! Shelly is punctual, trustworthy, & very good with communicating (even checked how many treats she should be giving?) to owners! I will 100% sure have Shelly sit for my baby again! Thank You Shelly!!”

“You will not find a better cat sitter than Amber! She gives our pets so much love and attention. I cannot say enough about how helpful and thoughtful she is. Amber always goes above and beyond for us!”
About: I can’t have pets where I’m currently living and it breaks my heart. I miss being surrounded by dogs and cats. I fill that void by pet sitting! I love seeing and taking care of family and friends dogs. Going back to watch them is like visiting with a friend. I grew up with all sorts of animals - cats, dogs, and reptiles and amphibians! I love them all! I work part time but they are 8 hour shifts so certain days I’m gone for a majority of it. Working on getting a remote job but for now, I’ll be out a couple days a week. This would be a discussion with the pet owner but I’m a rule follower! I never want anything to happen to your pet on my watch - I can’t think of anything worse than having to tell someone something happened to their pet. Whatever care instructions you give me, I’ll follow.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
