About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and other furry animals! I have learned that each animal is different and therefore requires different forms of care. My family and I currently own a gorgeous 7 year old golden retriever named Teddy, and 3 cats (including 2 outside ones). I’m currently working towards a pet unrelated certification. I also work part time from Thursday-Sunday evenings and afternoons. I’m fully available Monday-Wednesday and I can fill the rest of my mornings with your furry best friend! Unfortunately my home is unavailable to dog sit at, however I would love to take care of your pet within the comfort of your own home/neighborhood.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I absolutely love spending time with pets—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them some extra love and attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their pets, and I always treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands, and I’d love to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away! 🐾 I’m available after 5:00 during the week if walking is needed or a late night feeding I’m available most weekends days and nights Some Mondays I’m available earlier than 5:00 I would be comfortable caring for your pet in my home however I don’t have a fenced yard I would have to walk them if a dog to use the bathroom.
About: I’ve always been the person animals gravitate toward. I grew up with cats and later had two Italian Mastiffs, so I’m very comfortable with both small pets and big, strong personalities. I almost became a vet at one point, but after shadowing, I realized my heart just couldn’t handle that side of things. What I do love is creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for animals to just be. In my day-to-day life, I run my own business and come from a background in events and marketing, so I’m naturally very detail-oriented and respectful of your space. I’m also a competitive figure skater, which means I’m disciplined, reliable, and consistent especially when it comes to routines and care. I keep a flexible, self-managed schedule, which allows me to be very intentional with the time and care I give to each home and pet. I’m able to adapt to your pet's routine and make sure visits feel consistent, calm, and reliable while you’re away. I approach pet care in a really intentional, calm way. I let animals set the tone and focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment where they can feel comfortable. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to your home. I follow routines closely, keep things tidy, and make sure everything is locked up and secure. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a space that feels just as you left it.
About: I have been training and taking care of my own dogs for 25 years now and have dog/house sat for many of my friends and family members as well. My sister was a vet technician and she taught me a lot about proper training of puppies. I have always been a dog person. I often dog/house sit for my own family members and friends when they go on vacation. I always worry about finding a trustworthy person to watch my own dog when going on vacation, so I know how important providing these services are. Rest assured your loved one will receive the best when under my care. I have always been a very honest and responsible person and look forward to meeting new animals to care for while you enjoy your time away. I have a large fenced-in backyard for your dog to run around in and a large 2 story home for your loved one to explore when inside. My own baby girl Harley, LOVES other dogs and will enjoy having friends over to run around with. I also have a medium sized Kennel available if needed/required and my home has the ability to keep animals separated by room or by floor if needed/requested. Contact me to setup a meet and greet!!
“Our dogs were a little problematic but he took great care of them. Kept us well informed of the days activities. This was our first time with Lyle and Rover and he was very kind and helped us through everything. He took care of our dogs like they were his own.”
“Maria was very kind and efficient. She took great care of my "boys" while I was traveling for 10 days. My cats were happy and well cared for and that meant a lot to me. I highly recommend Maria to others.”
About: Hi! A beloved animal lover with years of experience. Weather it’s long walks, belly rubs, or playing with your puppy Im here to make your life a whole lot easier. I treat every furry friend as my own. Zoomies guaranteed! I work during the day and every other weekend. I’m open to scheduling suggestions or accommodations if needed. My schedule verifies, but I’m willing to try and make things work. I can provide any service needed for your dog or cat. Any rules or regulations regarding your puppy or kitten will be followed accordingly. I want to provide the safest, most enjoyable environment for your pet.
About: I take care of dogs of all sizes— from little Jack Russels all the way up to Bull Mastiffs and St.Bernard’s! My aunt used to run agility with her dogs so I often got to help reinforce behavioral teaching. I work in a hybrid office setting, so while I may need to go into the office some days, I always do my best to maintain your pet’s routine while you’re away! Since I have two dogs who have trouble socializing, I generally come to my clients. I ask about any special commands or needs or scheduling for the pets up front so that they have some consistency while you’re away!
About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give every dog. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I treat every pup like family, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and make sure their time with me feels like a vacation, not a separation. I am away from home about 2-4 hours on any weekday as I am back in school. I am usually home on the weekends and will be sure to adjust my schedule as needed for any dog's requirements during their stays. Any dogs in my care will get a ton of attention and I will learn their nuances. I will stick strictly to any instructions provided to me by the pet's parents and otherwise just make sure they have a good time and don't get into any trouble.
“Erin watched my kitties on short notice and I'm very grateful. She was careful to follow instructions and even managed to give my stubborn cat medicine (I was semi-okay with him missing a dose, but ask her to at least try) and make friends with my very shy kitty. It was all very reassuring and I would definitely recommend.”
“Emily is the best!!! She is so thorough and has great communication. My dog had the best time with her in the 2.5 weeks I was gone. I didn’t worry about her once because I knew she was in the best care with Emily. ☺️”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs of all personalities, sizes, and ages. As a proud Boxer dad, I understand that pets aren’t just pets, they’re family. I’m patient, attentive, and big on making sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it’s keeping an energetic pup entertained, going on walks, giving extra attention to senior dogs, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I want them to feel right at home while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I enjoy getting outside for walks, making time for playtime, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and make sure their pet gets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I don’t believe in rushing pet care. Every dog deserves time, patience, and plenty of love! Safety and trust are always my biggest priorities. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I have three dogs of my own, a Boxer named Pegasus and two Pugs, so I understand the importance of a safe and welcoming environment. My home also has a fenced-in yard where dogs can enjoy some outdoor time and play safely while supervised. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions from their owner. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, they’ll get the same love, patience, and attention I’d expect for my own. After all, I know firsthand that they’re family!
About: I have cared for dogs my whole life. I have experience with dogs of varying sizes as well as ages. I am well versed in caring for senior dogs that need a bit of extra attention in their golden years. I'll always prioritize your pet's needs to ensure they have a great experience. I currently work full-time remotely. I can work from anywhere to ensure quality care of your pets at any time of the week. I am flexible to take care of pets with reliable consistency. I am comfortable with caring for your pets in your home. I pride myself on taking good care of both your animals and your home.
About: My experience with animals extends well beyond traditional pet care. I have cared for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs, and I also have extensive hands-on experience with birds. My education as an animal trainer has given me a deeper understanding of behavior, positive reinforcement, body language, enrichment, and the importance of earning an animal’s trust. I am also comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, following detailed care and medication instructions, maintaining established routines, and watching closely for changes in behavior, appetite, or overall well-being. I approach every animal with patience, respect, and genuine affection, adapting my care to help each pet feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I offer flexible scheduling and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s established routine, including daytime, evening, weekend, and holiday visits. I understand that plans can change, so I’m happy to discuss last-minute requests or adjustments whenever my availability allows. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care at the times your pet needs it most. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and place your pet in their care. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions closely while treating your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. You can expect timely communication, thoughtful updates, and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.
About: I have 13 years of caring for animals personally 🥰 I am currently a dog & cat mom and a first-time mom to a baby girl. Over the years not only have I cared for my own pets but I have house sat for friends and family members. Additionally I have 3 years of dog grooming experience! One of my favorite jobs yet! Please keep in mind booking that I work from 8am-4:30pm. I look forward to discussing the possibility of caring for your fur babies. Please note I require a meet and greet before booking and a video call for last minute bookings I will give constant updates on your fur babies and keep them on whatever schedule you have setup for them. They will get lots of cuddles love.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 18 years now. I usually help family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are like family and should be treated as such and that is something I value in my care. I work full-time in grocery retail, typically on the early morning shift. This means I am completely done with work by mid-afternoon and have the rest of the day, evening, and night entirely open to focus on your pet! For house sitting or boarding, your pet will be safely left for an 8-hour stretch during the day while I am at the store, but they will get plenty of exercise and attention before I leave and the absolute maximum amount of love, long walks, and playtime the moment I get home. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is most best for their loved one. I aim to make sure each pet is cared for and comfortable in their environment.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Northville
Lauren and Ian were so amazing to have check on Nova during her long day home alone! They followed all of my notes, communicated with me throughout, and showed Nova so much care. I’d be so happy to have them check on her again in the future, and I know Nova would be thrilled!
Kelsey was amazing! She took such good care of Rico, shared pictures, and gave him lots of snuggles. We lost power at our house while we were away, and not only did Kelsey keep us updated on the temperature and make sure Rico was comfortable - she even reported the outage on our behalf! We will definitely contact her for future dog sitting needs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone else. Thank you, Kelsey!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Northville is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 4,083 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Northville. 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.
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 Northville 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.
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.
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.
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 Northville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
