“We had a wonderful experience with Christopher and Cassandra! They were always on time and took great care of our senior dog, Yodi. We especially appreciated the detailed updates and lots of photos after each visit—they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the pets they look after. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them.”
“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.”
“Shiyuan was amazing! She was so thoughtful, reliable, and kind. She took care of everything perfectly and made us feel totally at ease while we were away. We really appreciated how much care and attention she gave. I’d absolutely choose her 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.”
“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!! =)”
“She was absolutely amazing and such a relief to have while we were away. She had no issues giving our senior cat her medications and took amazing care of her. I felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Jennifer is just the BEST! This is our first puppy and we were nervous about leaving him for the first time when we went to work and school. Ziggy adores Jennifer and she really made us feel comfortable during our first meet and greet. She is so good with him and makes sure he eats and does his business while also taking time to play with him and clean him up. I love the daily updates and pictures she sends as well!”
“Tina was an excellent pet sitter. She took wonderful care of my cats by providing updates with pictures and detailed notes after each visit. She ensured they had food and water, addressed any issues like spills, and even brought packages inside. Her rates were very reasonable, which was an added bonus. Overall, I highly recommend Tina if you need someone reliable and caring to watch your pets. She would treat your pet as if it were her own.”
“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!”
“Deborah was amazing! Our cat is very shy and hides around those she doesn’t know, but not Deborah, the cat whisperer! We were floored when we saw the photo! Our cat was tapering off a med during our trip and Deborah followed the schedule perfectly. She took such good care of our baby girl and even made friends with her, which is almost impossible to do! We highly recommend Deborah and will definitely contact her again for future care. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Deborah!!!”
About: Hi! Tiffany, metro Detroit, dog mom to two Australian Shepherds. I’ve had dogs for my whole life and I’ll care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I make my own schedule, so I’m happy to fit in drop in care and walks for your pets! There’s nothing better than a bit of quality time with a beloved animal. I’m very cautious and doting on my own dogs and have been lucky and grateful to always have people care for mine tenderly when I’m away, so in turn I will always go above and beyond to make sure yours are comfy, happy, and safe.
“Sarah took excellent care of my girls. This was my first time leaving them. They are independent young cats, but have not been left alone. Sarah came before for a meet and greet and to explain what she does during her visits. I received updates and photos as well. We will definitely be requesting Sarah in the future. ❤️”
“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!!”
“Phyllippa is really great with Lilly. I really appreciate the detailed report she puts together about my fur baby—it means a lot. I can tell that Lilly truly misses her when we don’t have a scheduled visit. Thank you again for being so kind and caring with my dog!”
“Emily did an amazing job. She arrived early, spent extra time giving our senior dog attention with lots of belly rubs. She is very knowledgeable and her love of dogs shows. I will definitely hire her again.”

This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so happy that I booked it with Chelsea, she did a fantastic job. I was nervous being away from them for the first time, but I was so impressed with the care Chelsea gave them, they looked so happy in the pictures playing with her. Thank you for taking such good care of Jaxx and Cheerio, that means the world to me.

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 for Pet Sitting in Livonia on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,288 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Livonia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
