“Megan is amazing!! She stayed with our 14yr old for several nights in our home and took exceptional care of everything! She was always super responsive and sent pictures every day :) We would happily have her come again!!”
“Such a. Calming influence. She also projects confidence & capability. Our 2 dogs cozied right up to her to watch TV & relax after she took both at once for a walk, at our meet & greet. We felt so comfortable knowing we could be out of state & not worry about our furry kids! TU Kayla❣️”
“Our cats and dog love Nicholas. He has sat for us twice, most recently for 10 days. Excellent communication with us. Spends time with them, playing and walking. When we return, our house is just as we left it.”
About: I'm a responsible and compassionate dog lover with prior experience watching and taking care of friends' dogs. I like to play with dogs, take them for walks, and make sure they are happy and well-cared for while their owners are away. You can be sure your dog is in capable hands because I'm trustworthy, considerate of their requirements and habits, and willing to share updates and pictures. I'm eager to expand my Rover experience and provide each dog I observe tender, individualized care. I am currently working six days a week with hours of 6-2 or 3 and will attend to your pup right after work for the rest of the day! I make sure to keep pets happy in their accustomed surroundings and adhere to their regular schedule when taking care of them at home. I'll give them lots of attention, fun, walks, toilet breaks, and fresh food and drink. In order to let the owner know that their pet is content and well-cared for, I will also adhere to any special instructions they may provide and provide frequent updates and pictures!
“Taylor did a wonderful job watching our dogs and taking care of our home while we were away. She asked great questions upfront, communicated clearly, and made sure she understood our dogs’ routines, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy pups and a tidy house — exactly what you want from a great sitter. She was reliable, respectful, and made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely book with Taylor again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.”
About: As a lifelong cat lover and experienced pet owner, I understand the unique needs and personalities of our feline friends. Having grown up with two cats and currently caring for my own, I bring years of hands-on experience to ensure your cat feels safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. My services include: • Feeding, fresh water, and cleaning litter boxes • Playtime and cuddles to keep your cat happy and engaged • Daily updates with photos and notes for your peace of mind • Light house sitting tasks like bringing in the mail or watering plants Whether you’re heading out for a weekend or an extended trip, I’m dedicated to providing your cat and home with the care and attention they deserve. Let me help you travel worry-free! As someone with a consistent 8 AM to 4 PM work schedule, I can easily fit cat-sitting visits into my day. I’m available for morning visits before work to feed, play, and check on your cat, as well as evening visits to provide additional care and attention. If you book house sitting, I’ll ensure your cat has companionship and care throughout the night and morning, giving them a sense of routine and comfort. My schedule allows me to balance my responsibilities while prioritizing your cat’s needs. I treat every cat I care for as if they were my own, providing individualized attention tailored to their personality and needs. With my own kitten, who is incredibly energetic and full of curiosity, I’ve learned the importance of interactive play, mental stimulation, and establishing a comforting routine. When caring for your cat, I’ll: • Provide fresh food and water to keep them healthy and happy. • Clean and maintain the litter box for a tidy and stress-free environment. • Engage in playtime with toys and games to keep active cats entertained. • Offer cuddles or quiet companionship for more relaxed or shy cats. • Monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they’re thriving. I understand that every cat is unique, whether they’re bursting with energy like my kitten or prefer a calm and cozy environment. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable, content, and cared for while you’re away.
“House Sitting/Pet care Jan. 2026 Hannah Del was once again great with our pets. She is very loving and I know they like her since they were sad when she had to leave. She keeps us updated on their days with excellent communication; she administered their meds and kept the house tidy while we were away. We were delayed in our return flight from the east coast during the recent snowstorm, and Hannah kindly stayed the extra day giving us one less thing to worry about. Can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely be booking her in the future. Thanks again, Hannah!”
About: I used to have a golden retriever for about 8 years. I have taken care (fed, walked, let out for bathroom, played with, etc.) of family and friends’ dogs as well. I am a substitute teacher currently looking to care for pets starting during the school year. Monday-Friday after 4 works best for me. I am very flexible on Saturday’s and Sunday’s! I can easily feed, walk, play, and take care of pets’ needs! I can also change litter boxes. I can handle instructions and any accommodations pets may have.
“Eleanor was fantastic with our girls! We booked last minute and she made time to come meet everyone before we left, sent updates while we were gone, and overall took such good care of them. Definitely recommend!”
“Mary did an excellent job with Franky. She was super kind and played with him, and he fell in love within a heartbeat. She also was able to work with us on short notice when I got called into work for an in person meeting. She is fantastic!”
“Elizabeth was outstanding! She kept us informed during our vacation, and took great care of the house in addition to our dog! She also took our dog for nice walks despite the frigid weather. We will happily use her again.”
“Mahina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care for my German shepherd for a week while I was away. She sent updates multiple times every day which gave me such peace of mind and my dog seemed to be truly happy with her 😍🐾 my dog had tummy problems one day and Mahina didn’t hesitate to make sure she was all right!! I could not recommend Mahina enough - 1000/10”

Jennifer was absolutely amazing. I was so nervous leaving my dogs with anyone. I was so fortunate to have found Jennifer. Responded to me immediately, made herself available, she was very personable and responsible with my dogs and my house, followed instructions and care for my dogs great. I would recommend her to anyone and for sure I will be using g her again.
I cannot say enough good things about Kelsey!!! She was so responsive to all my texts and kept me updated the entire time. I love the photos she sent, especially the ones of Gigi and Layla lying right next to her - which showed how comfortable they were in her care! Kelsey left my home in impeccable shape and gave my babies the best care!! I am so thankful I found Kelsey and will be definitely using her in the future!!
Madison was absolutely incredible! Not only was it a last minute booking, but our dog also got injured right before the stay. She required a lot of supervision and medication management, all of which Madison was willing and able to provide. We got constant updates and pictures! We would 100% recommend her!
Avery really went above and beyond for us. She spent so much time at our house with the animals- playing and walking them. She was always quick to respond or send picture requests. We ended up having to stay on a vacation for an extra day and a half and she just made it work. We are so thankful for her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Northville is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $95 per night. 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.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Northville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Northville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northville. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
