“Jennifer was great! Strong communication from the beginning, everything from scheduling the meet and greet to confirming the reservation a few days in advance and throughout my dog’s stay. Jennifer kept him active and treated him like family! 100% recommend and plan to rebook! Thanks Jennifer!”
“YiTing is a wonderful care sitter! She kept me updated every day and always let me know if she had any concerns about my little Shih Tzu, such as when she wasn’t eating well. She sent me pictures regularly and even discovered what toys she liked to play with—without me having to say anything! This was my first time leaving my dog with her, and I felt very reassured. I will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“Andrew took very good care of Piston. He sent regular updates with pictures. Walked him several times. Piston seemed very happy during his stay. Would definitely book again”
“Super kind and communicated with an update once a day. Definitely recommend to anyone that needs help with their four-legged family member. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again for future dog-sitter needs.”
“My husband and I just got a new puppy, we had to go out of the state for the weekend, so we decided to use Rover app to book for a sitter that could take good care of our puppy. Dana and her husband did an amazing job at taking care of our dog, she went out of her way to make him feel good. Our doggy was having some trouble getting used to his new environment and he wasn’t eating, we left worried but Dana did such a good job that for the next morning our puppy was feeling a lot more comfortable with the environment. I definitely recommend her. She will take good care of your dog.”
“Dena and her family took amazing care of our Lilli! Communication, flexibility and just being amazing people were 5-star!!!!! We had a very nervous out of town fur baby mama in our midst and Dena’s caring attitude even won her over!! Thank you for taking such great care of our Lilli! We will certainly be back when we bring Lilli back to Michigan to hang out with our beautiful grands!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter on Rover, and Christina made the experience wonderful! She was quick and easy to book on semi-short notice. Her communication was great, and she kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of our pup. We will definitely plan to use Christina for all our future pet sitting needs!”
“Anne is the best! We have 2 pugs and they have never spent more than a day away from us. We took a family cruise and didn’t want the dogs to go to a boarding place. Anne was very calm and reassuring. She sent us photos of the dogs every day. I appreciated that she only accepts one client at a time and has a nice fenced in yard.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small family farm, where pets were always part of the family. My parents frequently adopted and fostered both cats and dogs, so I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of personalities and breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to Basset Hounds and high-energy Huskies. Although I can’t currently have pets of my own, caring for other people’s animals has become my favorite way to stay connected to what I love most. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m available in the morning and evenings, and am able to leave work during breaks to do a quick check in on pets! Weekends are completely open. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to work with families to make sure their pets get the attention and care they need! Although I grew up with dogs on the couch and in bed I will always respect the owner’s house rules. Multiple walks a day, respecting scheduled feeding times, and most of all giving all of my attention to your furry friends!
“We had such a great first Rover experience with Shannon! She sent updates and pictures of our dog several times a day, and she was professional from start to finish. We’ll definitely call on her again when we need dog-sitting!”
“Christopher and Cassandra took such great care of our pup Raven! They were great at communicating and sent us photos and videos of her playing and having a great time.”
“This would be like our 3rd time using Rahied! He was absolutely great as usual! He went above and beyond for Cobra! I think Cobra misses him and especially his son already! 😆😁”
“Debbie was a terrific caretaker for our 1 year old Irish Setter. His energy level is a lot to handle. She took him on multiple walks and played fetch with him extensively every day in her fenced-in yard. Highly recommend.”
“This was our first rover stay. I'm so glad we chose Marija! My dog has a few extra needs and Marija was the perfect care giver! She made sure all my pups needs were met. Along with mine; making sure to send several updates and pictures! We are so happy with our choice!”
“Sam is the BEST! My dog Luke absolutely loves him. He gets so excited when we turn down his street he whines with so much excitement. Sam truly loves and cares for your pup like it is his own. My dog loves his backyard too! Seriously book Sam for the next time you need a dog sitter. He’s the best!”
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and routines. Growing up, I had a golden retriever that has crossed the rainbow bridge. I’m attentive to their needs, whether that means playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to making every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I also have experience caring for and co-parenting a dog long-term, so I’m comfortable with the day-to-day responsibilities that come with caring for a dog and making sure they’re happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their routine. While I was in school, I also spent some of my free time helping local adoption organizations find loving homes for stray puppies. (Doing this as a hobby because I genuinely love spending time with animals. Dopamine is a two street ❤️) I have a structured routine with flexibility throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent and attentive care. I can accommodate regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while maintaining each pet’s usual routine. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. Before caring for your dog, I like to speak you and learn about your pet’s temperament, personality, routine, and individual likes and dislikes. I make sure doors and gates are secure, dogs are supervised appropriately, and walks are done safely with a properly secured leash and harness or collar. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any routines or boundaries their pet is accustomed to. I also pay attention to each dog’s behavior and give them the right balance of exercise, play, attention, and downtime. I love sending pictures and updates to owners while their fur babies are in my care, so they can see how their pet is doing and have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. (I prefer doing a meet and greet with the owner and pet before I commit so that both parties are comfortable especially the fur baby 🥰)
“Thanks again Michele for taking such good care of Winston. Your help is invaluable to us knowing Winston is in good hands and we can depend on you time amd time again. Winston also thanks you, he told me how much fun he had and it was nice visiting with you and your family, even the cat!!”
“We got several lovely pics of our girls over the duration of their stay. They came back happy and healthy, and had a great time socializing with the other friends that were there, even with the bigger dogs💜”
“Zelda loves her time with Laura, Manuel, and their dogs. She now gets excited every time we turn into their neighborhood. It’s such a relief to know she is well cared for!”

Julie and Gracie took fantastic care of our dog, Cooper. I received multiple pictures and updates daily, and Julie was always quick to respond if I reached out. Their dog Morgan was so sweet and got along great with Cooper. I absolutely will be using them again in the future, and encourage anyone else to do so! Great sitters!
Andrew did a great job of caring for Kainoa during our two week trip. He sent us daily photos and updates of Kai and their activities together. Andrew was attentive to Kai's care instructions and he took her on lots of walks around the neighborhood and to nearby parks. Andrew also keeps meticulous records of the dogs he watches and he is observant of their physical and emotional state. He is a conscientious dog sitter. Kainoa was happy to see us when we returned to pick her up, but also in no hurry to leave, which tells us she was very comfortable staying with Andrew. We highly recommend him for your pet care needs!
6 stars out of 5 ;) This was our first time using Rover so I was a little anxious, but the weekend was a total success. Jennifer was communicative with lots of photos/updates, and our Stella had fun meeting new buddies, leading the pack on walks, and seemed to make herself right at home. Would book Jennifer again in a heartbeat!
Lili absolutely loves staying with Tiffani and her family! They take wonderful care of her and treat her like one of their own. This was our second stay, and it was once again a completely worry-free experience. I couldn't ask for a better sitter while I'm away. Highly recommend!
Christina took care of our pup for the first time recently. My husband was having a procedure. The time changed and she adjusted her schedule to help us out! Our Pup was a little nervous and timid. She went out of her way to help him relax. She sent pics and kept us informed on how he was doing. He even had a pup cup! I’d recommend Christina to care for your pet. She’s very kind. Responding quickly, and did a wonderful job for us!
Miranda was so easy to work with and really helped me out! We were moving from several states away and had to board two cats and two dogs, and Miranda took care of them with no problems at all. She was able to provide medications the dogs needed. Miranda and her roommate were just so incredibly helpful. Can't thank them enough!
Jacqueline provided exceptional care for Millie and Monty on very short notice, showing outstanding flexibility when we had an unexpected family issue. She arranged a meet-and-greet the day after we reached out online, putting us at ease with her friendly manner and attentiveness. Throughout the stay, Jacqueline kept our dogs comfortable and happy, and we appreciated her warm approach. We highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone searching for a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their furry family members

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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Northville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Northville home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Northville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
You and your Northville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
