“We are so happy to have found Rhonda! She is prompt and spends quality time with our pup! She goes above and beyond and gives the best service. I recommend her highly!”
“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.”
“Tricia did a really good job taking care of my puppies Jax and Niko . They look really happy and enjoyed. She send me a lot of pictures of the puppies every day made me comfortable to feel that that they are in good hands.”
“Debi was amazing with Bruce! He has a lot of abandonment issues that stress him out when we go away, but with Debi he felt right at home. She does a great job and we will be happy to hire her again!”
“I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!”
“Jennifer takes excellent care of my cat, who clearly adores her. She is reliable, trustworthy, and kept me updated throughout, giving me peace of mind. I book with her every time. Highly recommend!”
“I have nothing but gratitude for how well Brittany tended to my babies! Both my heavy weight crazy puppy and my scared kitty-cat were very well and lovingly cared for. Brittani, thank you for taking awesome care of them for me!”
“Tatianna cared for my three cats while I was away. She sent me detailed reports each day, and I really felt that my cats were being well looked after due to how well detailed the reports were written. If there was an important question, she called me on my cellphone, which I appreciated very much. I would recommend Tatianna to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter for their pets.”
“Emily was great with our cats! She even won over a very shy female cat who always hides when we are away. She gave us timely updates and spent lots of time with our kitties! I appreciated her time and caring demeanor with our cats :-)”

“This was my first time using Patricia for cat drop-ins, and I felt completely at peace the whole time I was away. She understands cats and treats them with care. Her updates were the best I've received from any sitter: thorough, with great photos, and you can tell she isn't just checking boxes. She really pays attention and lets you know how your pets are doing. Don't hesitate. Book her!”

I live in the Livonia area but work in the Northville area and would be more than happy to drop by and give your fur baby love and attention! I currently work full time and end my day around 3/4. I then am free most days after that. I am free many weekends all day. I have a fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for easy walking, and a ranch with one floor where the basement stairs can be blocked off.
“This is the second time we've hired Brit to take care of our elderly cat, and both experiences have been great!

“Joselin has taken care of my Shephard twice. Nala does not do well with other dogs and therefore boarding her is not an option. Joselin is absolutely wonderful with her and never fails to send me a picture during each visit. When I get home Nala is happy and safe. I could not have asked for a more dedicated pet sitter.”
“Faith checked in on our cat while we were out of town for spring break. There was a little hiccup at the beginning but we figured it, and after that every went smoothly. Faith was very honest and accommodating which I both appreciate very much. Communication went well, and the regular picture updates showed clearly that our cat felt comfortable enough around Faith to come close engough to get petted and to play. We arrived home to a well cared for cat and home. Thank you very much. When we need a sitter again and our schedules line up, I'm booking Faith again.”

Elizabeth was amazing! I went on vacation for two weeks and she took care of my two cats like they were her own. I got updates and pictures with every check in, and she even helped me out with maintenance when the lock on my door stopped working. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies while they are away!
Rhonda was really amazing and we will absolutely rebook her in the future. She was extremely easy to coordinate and communicate with, and provided really thorough updates on our two cats during each check-in. She provided extensive descriptive updates on the cats during her visits to our house and did an excellent job at each visit - arriving at the requested time, making sure the litters were clean, and that the kitties had enough food and water, and spending quality time with them. She went above and beyond and we appreciate everything that she did for our kitties.
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.
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.
Great experience working with Abigail! Even though we haven’t met in person yet, communication has been excellent.. very prompt, clear, and professional. She was easy to coordinate with and have made me feel confident and comfortable about my cats’ upcoming care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Livonia is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $7 and $28 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,167 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Livonia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Livonia. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
