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!!
“Erin was so good with Faye! I felt very comfortable being away knowing she was coming by to take care of her. She was communicative and punctual. I would highly recommend hiring Erin to take care of your pets!”
“Lyle did a great job of dropping in to feed our cat while we were away. He took the job at very short notice after we were let down by a neighborhood teenager. Lyle sent detailed updates, photos and even a short video of our little fur ball. I felt very comfortable with him at our initial meet and greet, and I will absolutely use his services again in the future. I can confidently recommend him.”
About: In my circle of family and friends, I’m known as the “resident pet sitter.” I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, and everything in between. I’m comfortable administering medications (I give my own cat medicine daily!) and have experience helping anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m very attentive to routines and always follow feeding schedules and instructions carefully. When I care for your pets, I treat them like my own and how I hope someone would treat my pets. I am patient and understanding and would love to get to know your furry friend’s quirks! Since I work from home, pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I enjoy building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care requests. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while their owners are away. I also treat every home with respect and keep things clean and organized. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’m majoring in business and I own a long haired chihuahua. I’ve cared for neighbor’s and family’s dogs in the past by walking and dog sitting. I’m on a very flexible schedule, so most times during week days I will be able to walk your dog! I’m excited to take them on walks :) For dog walking, I like to make sure we walk in areas with sidewalks that are safe. I’d bring water to keep your dog hydrated, especially if it is warm out!
About: I grew up in a house that always had 6 to 8 animals at once, including dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, even sugar gliders, and I still live that way today. That means I'm comfortable with more than just the basics: reading animal body language, handling multi pet households, and adapting to unusual routines. I also have experience caring for elderly cats and dogs and pets with special health needs, administering medications, managing mobility issues, and giving extra patience where it's needed. If your pet is a little different or has specific quirks, I've probably already lived with something similar. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible, and I'm usually able to accommodate drop-ins and midday visits. Let me know what works for you! I'm very attentive and pay close attention to body language, so I can quickly pick up on how a pet is feeling and adjust to their needs. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets get plenty of love and attention, daily walks, and consistency with routines and training. I'm also comfortable administering medication, something I do regularly for my own animals.
About: While I’ve never had a dog of my own, I’ve hosted several friends’ dogs in my home over the years. I love getting to know their unique personalities and making them feel comfortable and loved. I’ll make sure your pup feels right at home while you’re away! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can accommodate most pet care needs and adjust to your pup’s routine. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while respecting their routines and personalities. I’m happy to accommodate special needs, including administering medication, and provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so I know how special they are, they’re part of my family. I love spending quality time with them, whether it’s playing, cuddling, or going for walks. I’m attentive, patient, and enjoy giving each pet the care and love they deserve. I have experience with puppies and am happy to take care of senior pets. I have a part-time job, but I spend most of my time at home, so I’m looking for ways to fill my day with something I love. When I’m home, I’m always with my dog, he’s the best company! I enjoy giving pets attention, playtime, and lots of love, so caring for other furry friends fits naturally into my routine.

I am currently a full time vet technician, but I can definitely fit in pet-sitting, walk-ins, and or dog walks throughout the week. I usually am home for free time and love to keep busy so I have flexible availability. I usually let my dog free roam the house when we are winding down after a walk or fetch. Interaction is key to a healthy mindset for pets, so I try to entertain them as much as possible!
“Courtney did a great job taking care of my cats. I have one cat who is an escape artist, so I was very nervous he might get out. But Courtney was very careful, and there were no issues. I have been searching for a cat sitter that I can trust and feel comfortable with. I can say, I will definitely hire Courtney for our next vacation.”
“Aurora went above an beyond! She was super attentive and responsive. She also gave us excellent updates so I felt super secure while I was out of town. I'm pretty sure my pets are disappointed that she won't be visiting them everyday anymore after my trip. For my next trip I would definitely like to book with her again to look over my fur babies!”

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!

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 .

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 .
