“Marty is a wonderful pet sitter. She made good friends with our high energy and often anxious pup. We appreciated the photos and updates we received from Marty during our trip knowing all was well at home. We highly recommend her!”
“Vicki is a God send! Reliable, responsible, courteous and absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. I have utilized Vicki for both drop in visits and overnight stays, which have ranged from weekend stays to full week stays. Vicki is great with open communication and provides regular updates, including photos. She is also very flexible with her schedule and answers reservation requests within 24 hours. I would highly recommend this pet sitter! A+++”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was 12 years old, as well as having 2 cats and a pitbull/lab mix at home. My friends, family, and neighbors have always entrusted me with the care of their pets, as I've always been told I "have a way" with animals. I have experience training and dog-sitting small puppies as well as many different big and small dog breeds. I have experience with and love working with cats as well! I'm excited to give the best care to your pets 🤍 I'm available 7 days a week so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have a flexible schedule and can come for check ins and walks on short notice. I have experience with many different sizes and dog breeds and have a flexible schedule so that I can be available for whenever your pups need me!
“Elizabeth was amazing!!! Super responsive, I always knew my team was cared for and what was going on, super respectful of the house, ten/ten would book again!!!”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to use Joey again! He not only took great care of my dogs but my house was just like I left it! He loves your pets as if they were his own and keeps in touch to let you know how they’re doing.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”
“Haley was absolutely incredible! Our dogs have been sat before and when we come home they seem to be in a funk. But with Haley, it felt as though our pups had been so well taken care of! Not to mention our home was so cared for as well. She was very communicative, and open! Highly highly recommend her! She’s just lovely!”
“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”
About: My love for pet care started about 8 years ago when I began raising and training future guide dogs. Since then, I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood, giving me lots of hands on experience with puppy training, socialization, routines, basic commands, and caring for dogs through different stages of life. Over the years, I’ve also dog sat and house sat countless times for friends, family, and others. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with all different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers relaxing and getting lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable. Most importantly, I know how much trust goes into leaving your dog and home in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pup like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I work four days a week, but I’m available for lunch hour check ins and walks for pets located in the Webster area. I’m also available before and after work on those days. Wednesdays and weekends offer me more flexibility for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and spending extra time with your pets. I’m always happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s normal routine and keeps them comfortable while you’re away! I provide all pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course plenty of attention and love! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I’m happy to adjust my care accordingly, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply giving a more independent pet their space. I also take great care to respect your home, keep things clean and tidy, and make sure both your pets and your home are well cared for while you’re away.
“This was our first time using Rover.com and we were skeptical however Kayligh was amazing. Our dog and cat loved her and when we got back we couldn’t even tell she had been there. The house was how we left it. We will definitely be booking again. She also stayed an extra hour which was really nice, walked the dog, cuddled and played with our dog and sent us pictures. She also got back to us really quickly when we had questions which made us feel like she cared.”
About: I have been around pets of all kinds most of my life. Dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs you name it. I have an 8 year old bull mastiff named Brooklyn and a 4 year old cat named Cato both of which I got as babies and love them with all my heart. I have experience as well taking care of my friends puppy a few times in the past. I am a freelance graphic designer where I make my own schedule so I have a lot of free-time to care for your pets whenever you require my services. I will give your pet all the love and attention they need. If you have a more active pet no problem! I've played sports for years so we can play fetch or take a trip to the park. If you have a older pet or less active I can bring the activity level to where your pet is most happy and comfortable.
“Parker is the most wonderful house sitter! He took wonderful care of our two Great Danes and our house. He provided lots of great updates and pictures. I know our dogs will miss him as much as we appreciate having him to look after them. It is such a relief to have someone you can trust to look after your pets and house. Can't wait to book with him again!”
“Christine was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our big girl while we were gone for four nights. She stayed at our house and everything was perfect. We loved her!”
“Sharon and James sat with our guys in home for a week, did great with the indoor pets and the poultry didn’t scare them off. Everything went well, they were very communicative throughout, and everyone was calm and happy when we got back!”
About: Hi there! We’re Gigi & Nate! I work from home full-time, and together we only take a few dogs at a time, so every pup gets lots of attention in a comfortable, home environment🤍 We carry our own private pet care insurance (not just Rover’s standard protection). We also keep a consistent routine so everything feels easy for the dogs. We care for every dog together as a team. My husband Nate works at a local school and gets home early, so one (and often both) of us is home throughout the day. We help dogs get comfortable using our dog door so they can go in and out freely and keep their usual routine. We’ve worked with puppies as well and can help reinforce things like potty training, crate time, and settling into a new environment. We keep things relaxed and typically have up to 3 dogs at a time, so every dog has space to feel comfortable. We do a quick meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Our setup works best for small to medium dogs. We have a fully fenced yard with a custom-built dog door, plus added safety features like anti-dig guards and front porch fencing for extra peace of mind. We also have cameras covering the backyard and main dog areas so we can keep a close eye on everyone. Inside, things are clean, cozy, and dog-safe, with floors and common areas kept clear so dogs don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. There’s also a fully enclosed indoor play area if separation is ever needed. ⸻ 🐾 Your pup will enjoy: – Small group – 24/7 dog door access to fenced backyard (fresh water always available) – Clean, dog-safe spaces (no kitchen access) – Separated during feeding to avoid conflicts – Daily walks or runs in a quiet neighborhood – Photo/video updates – Plenty of playtime and supervision (Healthy snacks like yogurt, berries, or pumpkin if you’re okay with it 😊) ⸻ We’re located right off the highway—Rochester’s last exit before Buffalo/Canada, only about 10 minutes from ROC Airport. I’m always quick to respond, and can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We do ask for booking at least a week in advance so we can schedule a quick meet & greet 🤍 I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, and regular check-ins, and can let dogs out frequently as needed while keeping a consistent routine. We have a fully fenced yard with a dog door, so pups can go in and out easily. Inside is clean, dog-safe, and set up for a calm, well-managed environment.
“Edward did a great job for us. He and our dog Buddy got along famously, and he was especially diligent about keeping us informed about Buddy’s time with him. Edward stayed with Buddy for five days and kept us up-to-date throughout. Additionally, the house was left in perfect condition. We will certainly use Edward for our next trip away.”
“Karibian is the absolute BEST! It was our first time using house sitting services, and she made us feel so comfortable. Her check-in’s with photos of our babies made us feel so much better about our decision to switch from a boarding facility to a house sitter. You can really tell she loves what she does! And you can tell our furbabies loved her company! She goes above and beyond to make sure our babies are loved when we are away😊”
“Highly recommend Luis for your best friend, especially house sitting. Your pet won’t feel alone because Luis is present, nit just there to fill the water bowl and walk, that is his approach. You’ll get updates and pictures, you’ll never have to ask how they are doing, Luis keeps you informed.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Livonia is $50

Vicki did a fantastic job for my dog and cat. She was prompt, offered and completed a Meet and Greet and reliably responded to all my inquiries. She left the house just like she found it and sent some delightful pictures of my animals while I was gone. She is a repeat Rover gal for me and I highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 541 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Livonia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Livonia walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Livonia maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
