“Jennifer has been amazing! She's done an excellent job working with my reactive dog - she's patient, strong and kind which has been the perfect blend. She goes the extra mile, putting the care of my clingy little buddy a top priority!!”

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 had dogs as pets my whole life— From the day I was born until now, dogs have been present in my household. I have a 14 year old family wiener dog named Leo who I love with all my heart! Since the young age of 10 I have been walking, feeding, grooming and dog-sitting my own and others pets. I am a loving and compassionate individual who is great with all types of dogs and would love to help with any of your pet needs! I'm very patient and understanding and I don't get angry or upset easily. Overall, I am a huge animal lover and treat all dogs like they are family. Please reach out to me so we can get something booked! I have a pretty flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home and be available throughout the week. I’m available to stop in for walks, check ins and potty breaks when necessary. Overall, I’m able to accommodate whatever needs necessary! I have a fenced in yard for all the outdoor fun. I can crate your dog if necessary and don’t mind having your dog sleep in bed with me. Ready for all the cuddles, walks and fun!

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have both experience with dogs ( all sizes) and cats as well. I am very active also, and I like to take dogs for a walk. I can play, hug, and give much love to your pet. In Florida, I used to be a volunteer at the local shelter and rescued organizations as well. I am also Bilingual English-Spanish. I work in the office and sometimes remote, finish by 5PM . When I am remote I have more flexibility -Mondays and Fridays usually. I have weekends for myself, but visit my grandchildren usually few hours on Saturday. I can walk dogs everyday in the afternoon and provide daily exercise. Just contact me and we can work it out. When I go to the clients home I will follow their directions. I will come happy to do what I love the most. In my home, I have an adult cat very friendly and lonely, but I can arrange the situation in case my service is needed to have the pet in my home. We can always study the situation and talk about it.

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: Hi, im Winnie! I’m so excited to meet your furry family members. I’ve been a devoted dog and cat lover my entire life and truly believe our pets deserve all the love, kindness, patience, and respect we can give them. I’ve personally cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies through adulthood, and I’ve also pet sat for friends and clients, treating every pet like they’re one of my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care at home. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run and play, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also a Registered Occupational Therapist and a proud University of Michigan graduate—Go Blue! My healthcare background has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each individual’s unique needs. I can’t wait to get to know you and your pet, and I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part-time, with Fri-Sun weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, whether that’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, or overnight stays. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals has always been a rewarding part of my life, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Your pet will be staying in a safe, loving, and spacious home with plenty of room to relax and play. Our home has wood floors throughout and a private room available if your pet would ever need a quiet space to decompress or feel more comfortable. Outside, we have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play. We also live in a quiet, safe, and walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Your pet will be welcomed by a home full of caring adults who genuinely love animals.

About: I grew up owning dogs, so I understand routines, patience, and consistency. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on providing calm, respectful care tailored to each dog. I work at a hospital and am typically available after work on weekdays. I’m off at 3:30 PM and home by 4:30 PM, making evenings ideal for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. My weekend availability may vary as my work schedule changes. I follow pets’ routines and their care instructions closely, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while respecting their space, maintaining cleanliness, and keeping owners informed.

About: Starting 5 years ago, I began working in the pet care field as a kennel technician. I have now added veterinary assisting to my repertoire, going on 2 years. This abundance of nuanced experience has allowed me to effectively to care for all pets sick or well, young or old, and small or large! 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!

About: I walk 10,000 steps a day and would love to talk your dog along for a long walk. I've taken care of pets my whole life and love to volunteer in local shelters. I can teach your dog a few tricks, get all their zoomies out with a nice run, and give them all the frisbee, ball, tug of war, hide and seek, etc. playtime that they might want. I can also provide extra care to anxious, reactive, older, post surgery, and/or disabled pets. I have some dog training experience and can help your dog be more comfortable with other dogs, other people, address triggers, reduce pulling on the leash, etc. During our walks, your pets will play, relax, and make new doggie friends all the time with careful introductions and lots of happy moments. Looking to build long term working relationships with my clients and new pet friends. You can always reach me when I'm pet sitting if you ever have a question, I am always just a phone call or a text away. My schedule is very flexible and I like to be outside as much as possible when it comes to spending time with pets. I am avaliable on weekends, weekdays, and can be open to last minute changes. I always make sure the pets have food and a fresh bowl of water. After that I like to build some trust with sniffs and treats, see if they know any tricks. Once the pet is comfortable it's time for a walk and/or playtime to get all the pent up energy out. I think playtime is the most happy time for pets so I always to engage in a few different kinds of games until I find one that they love. This way the pets are happy and comfortable and can happily nap for the rest of the day after we are done.

About: I've had pets since I was little and have done occasional pet sitting. I current;y care for my American Bully, Pork Chop by taking him on walks, to the dog park, and teaching him new tricks. We also like to walk on trails and around Downtown Plymouth! I currently work part-time as a nanny Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and I am in college mostly online. I am home most of the day on Monday and Wednesday along with a decent amount on the weekends. Tuesday, Thursday, and Fridays I am home in the evenings and in the morning. While I will be caring for your pet in the morning and evening before work on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday during the day someone will be home ~90% of the time to keep the pet company! I have a very friendly dog named Pork Chop who is ~1 1/2 years old and neutered. He loves to run around and play with other dogs at the dog park! We do not have a fenced yard but, we have a tie out for quick bathroom breaks and take Pork Chop (along with potential friends) on little bathroom walks throughout the day. We go on at least one mile walk a day and frequently visit the dog park! We have lots of toys, dog beds, a crate and dogs are allowed on furniture and beds.

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!

Despite a short-notice request, S&B were able to visit Rilee at home as we went to a weekend wedding in the Chicago area. The daily snapshots of our girl enjoying the winter walks assured us she was in good hands.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Northville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% 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.

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.
