“Debbie is wonderful! Her and her husband were great with communication and sending pics of our pups everyday! They were also very well equipped with a fenced in yard among other dog supplies. Their dogs were very friendly and we felt good about leaving our fur babies in their care! Highly recommend!!”
“We appreciated Tammy and Duane's quick response to our initial contact and their flexibility to keep Molly on short notice. They kept our girl happy and gave us some tips for seeing the area.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of my own, as well as for friends and family for the past 15 years, including puppies and senior aged dogs. I’m currently in part-time online graduate school so I’ve got plenty of time to give your dog all the attention and love they need and want! I have a large backyard and a pet friendly neighborhood. I have one 17 pound, 9 year old dog who gets along with other dogs. I have two young children who also love dogs!
“I had to book last minute and Joe was very responsive and took great care of our dogs (all 3!). We got a lot of pictures and he even recorded walks, bathroom breaks, and made sure each dog had their own bed. Would definitely book again.”
“Eleasha and family helped us out in a pinch! We needed dog coverage while we celebrated a milestone birthday not far from their home. She was able to watch our dogs for a few hours, and it was a perfect solution for us. Thanks so much. I highly recommend.”
About: Currently not a pet owner and missing the company of a furry friend! My family included dogs and cats growing up and I have years of experience being a nanny to children and pets (Great Danes, doodles, dachshunds, golden retriever, etc). I work part time hours as a remote mental health therapist at home so my schedule is flexible. I love to go for walks during the day. I live in a condo that is in a safe and walkable neighborhood. I keep my home clean and comfortable and have a reliable car.
“Debra was great! Her space for dogs is wonderful and she was communicative about plans and what we needed to bring. I really appreciated her being willing to have our puppy, Milo over!”
About: Hi there! I grew up with a dog by my side, and my family had a beloved pup until last year. My kids have been begging for another, but for now, we’ve decided to channel our love for animals into caring for yours! My kids and I are here to provide plenty of attention, belly rubs, and care while you’re away. Think of us as the fun aunt and uncle (and cousins!) for your pets—plenty of playtime, snuggles, and treats (with your permission, of course!). We can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! Between my husband, who works from home full-time, and me being a stay-at-home mom, there’s always someone here to care for your pet. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, or just having company throughout the day, your furry friend will never be alone for long. Our flexible schedules allow us to provide consistent care, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. We have a spacious, fenced-in backyard, perfect for playtime and fresh air. Our neighborhood is also great for walks, offering plenty of safe and scenic routes. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that, but we also have the flexibility to let them roam freely in our home. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so whether they’re staying with us or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow your routines and rules to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
“Bruno was soo tired after his first day at day care with Cesar. I received updates throughout the day,even a short video...with music,and saw Bruno running playfully. I felt comfortable leaving our dog with Cesar since our first meet and greet.Safe backyard with taller privacy fence. I really like that the dogs are supervised even when playing outside and that they can move freely inside and outside.Thank you so much! I am booking more daycare times!”
“Jen was so amazing with our golden retriever, she was super accommodating and attentive to his individual needs. She was also very communicative and provided photos of his stay, which was great. Would absolutely recommend her to others!”
About: This is Tracey. I have been a sitter for my family and friends’ dogs for years. They like how their dogs are always happy when staying with me. And I enjoy taking care of them I work from home and should be able to take your dog out every 2 hours during the day and maybe more often after work hours. I would love to visit you and your pet before the boarding to understand what are the special needs and how I can make my services catering to your pets
“Ian and Alia,was great very patient with me being nervous about Rocko first day,definitely will be re-booking with them I highly recommend them thank you guys so much🤗🫶🏻”
“OUTSTANDING (AAA+++) Dog Sitter who followed all of our dog's dietary needs for 3 days, exercised our labrador every day in his HUGE fenced in back yard, and sent us multiple photos of dog throughout the day and even when sleeping!! C'mon now! Rohit was absolutely exceptional in every way. I would highly recommend Rohit to any concerned pet owner who wants to vacation worry free!”
About: Hi there! I'm Dana — Novi local, lifelong dog lover, and basically fluent in dog. With 9 years on Rover and a lifetime of dogs before that, I've built real experience across all sizes and temperaments. As a teenager I took on the daily responsibility of managing a severely diabetic dog — insulin schedules, diet, monitoring and all. That experience taught me that real pet care goes way beyond walks and cuddles. I've been looking for a way to make animal care an official part of my life ever since, and Rover has been the perfect fit. George (a havapoo with love to spare) and Frida (a chiweenie with very strong opinions) are my two little co-workers — they've made our home a very dog-friendly place, so your pup will feel right at home from the moment they arrive. My son Odie rounds out our crew, and yes, he is also a big fan of the dogs (all of them, not just ours). Whether you're a fellow Novi neighbor or just nearby, I'd love to meet your pup and show you what The Motown Pups team is all about. Send me a message and let's set up a meet and greet! Hope to see you soon! Dana, Odie, George, and Frida The Motown Pups team I do work full time with a hybrid schedule. Most of my working days are spent at home and on occasion head to office when needed. ~*BOARDING*~ We LOVE having boarding visitors come stay with us while their parents go on vacation! In the nice weather, we try to spend most of our day playing outside if we can. We give everyone breakfast and dinner around the same time every day, (unless you specify otherwise, we will onboard your baby into our family's daily routine). After dinner, we go for our nightly family walk. Your baby can be anywhere in our house, and is welcome to sleep in our bed if they are comfortable doing so. One of our dogs (Frida) is an elderly chihuahua, keeps to herself. Our youngest boy, George, absolutely loves playmates! A meet and greet is mandatory for boarding and daycare! Please be mindful of this when considering booking with us. *DAILY SCHEDULE/ROUTINE*~ During our meet and greet, please give me a concrete idea as to what your dog's daily schedule is (i.e. feeding times, exercise times, playtimes, medication times if necessary) and a window of time for your visit. While my job does allow a flexible schedule, I do sometimes get caught up at client's homes past my anticipated time to address pressing needs or in the rare event of an emergency. It's part of the nature of social work, I suppose. Having said that, a time window allows me the flexibility to see your pup within a reasonable time frame, and still get our quality time in together! ~*MEET AND GREET*~ I schedule a ‘meet and greet’ with every new client as precedent to make sure that your pupper can become a little familiar with me before the stay begins. It also helps me to get an idea of what your pup's home environment and daily routine look like. If you chose dog walking services, I usually try to go on a short 'trial’ walk with you and your dog to make sure I can become familiar with your normal route, and to be able to observe how you walk your dog.
“Ramya was great! We came in from out of town and needed her to watch Flynn for a few of hours. She was very welcoming, communicated great (lots of photos), and Flynn seemed to enjoy himself.”
About: I’m a retired woman that has 30 years of pet care experience. I have raised two dogs and one cat. I have experience with chow chows, cats, and a west highland terrier. Since I am older now, I prefer smaller dogs that I can control while out on walks. My dog passed away 7 years ago and I miss having an animal around to take care of. My schedule is open for animal care since I am retired. My only commitments are my home duties such as cleaning, cooking, and weekly shopping. For boarding, I offer care in my suburban home. I live in a nice neighborhood with many trails and parks nearby. There is enough room in the house for dogs to move around and run if they need.
About: Growing up both my wife and I have always had pets in our homes. My family and I love animals. I grew up around cats and my wife grew up around dogs and between the two of us we have decades of experience. We currently have a dog and 3 cats living with us. We got our puppy when he was only 4 months old and I am comfortable with the demands of caring for such a young puppy and making sure their needs are met. We also believe in force free training of our pets and our puppy has been through professional training classes (both puppy manners and teenage manners) so we are comfortable providing our knowledge and expertise to your pet! Our cats are very aloof but we separate them when there are new pets in the home. Safety of our pets and yours is very important to us! Our cats have access to their food, water, and litter upstairs and away from new puppy friends so all the animals have a stress free time while your puppy stays with us. We are calm and patient people. We have both grown up with animals and understand that accidents happen. We provide frequent potty breaks during the day, encourage breaks in play time, and plenty of mental stimulation. We love taking your puppy for a walk or throwing a ball around to get out some energy. My wife works a hybrid workweek and we have a 16 year old who loves animals. Your pet will be deeply cared for. We love giving pets and snuggles and loving on your puppy. I have baby gates and a portable crate on hand (for large pups!). I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pup for yours to play with. Our puppy sleeps with us at night and is allowed on our couches but if that is not ok for your puppy we are comfortable following your rules, including crating at night.
“Maeve absolutely loved Karen for day care today, evident by her running all the way down the sidewalk into her arms this morning! Karen was attentive and sent lots of pictures, Maeve is looking forward to future day care!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Northville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,299 sitters in Northville, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
