“Megan did a great job (per usual) taking care of my senior dog and my home! She even went above and beyond and put out my trash/recycling bins when she noticed it was pickup day. Thanks, Megan!”
“Jennifer was the best! She went above and beyond taking great care of my elderly dog Braylee (and my home) while I was out of the country for 11 days. She sent photos and updates which gave me peace of mind while traveling. She will definitely be my 1st choice to dog sit again in the future!!”

“Very caring and great photos and communication! Andrew was so nice and we felt really good with him staying at our home and watch over Madi & Emma. We’ll definitely book with Andrew again. Thank you!!!”

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.
“Jennifer was great with Kona. We were first time Rover users with a dog that we were slightly nervous of leaving with someone new and she was absolutely fantastic. From the first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and confident in choosing her. She was kind, responsive, and professional. Throughout her stay we remained updated with pictures and came home to a clean house and happy dog. She will be highly recommended by us to all moving forward!”

“Nicholas was very attentive to the pups. He updated us with pictures, time when they ate, and what activities they have done outdoors. Nicholas’s love and kind to the dogs are shown throughout his time with my pups, they were in good hands!”

“Christina was excellent! Very kind and accommodating, followed instructions, and a great communicator. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and competent pet sitter.”

“Amy was amazing with Axl. She took such great care of him and our house while we were away. Even fed the fish and watered our plants as needed. Would highly recommend Amy. Very professional and amazing with animals!”


“Maria is an absolute gem! I am so happy we found her to take care of our dog while we were on vacation. She was punctual, communicative, loving, and overall the best dog sitter we have ever had. She is who we trust with our baby, and we definitely recommend her!”


About: Hello! I’m Allison, and I have an overwhelming love for animals! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have plenty of experience dog-sitting for friends and family, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little Beagles to big German Shepherds. In addition to my personal experience, I have professional experience working in animal shelters, where I helped provide daily meals, maintain clean living spaces, and administer medication. I have experience with a wide range of canine temperaments, from more reactive or aggressive dogs who need extra patience and understanding to calm, senior dogs who benefit from a gentler approach and extra TLC. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I always strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a full-time student and am looking for a flexible side job to help pay for college. Since I’m not currently working, I have flexibility in my schedule to dedicate time and attention to your furry friends. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to know more about me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I’m currently a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Since I’m not currently working, I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and overnight care. I prioritize making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while sticking to their usual routines as closely as possible. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I treat every home with respect and care for each pet as if they were my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any special routines or behavioral needs. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, from energetic and reactive dogs to calm senior dogs, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level. I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment, plenty of attention, and regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in good hands!
“Aurora is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our senior dog, our reactive dog, and our rabbit while we were away. She handled medication without any issues, and sent detailed updates and photos so that we always felt connected to what everyone was up to. She gave each pet including our rabbit one-on-one attention and knowing they were getting such great care really put us at ease with being away for so long knowing they were in excellent hands! We came home to happy, relaxed pets, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Aurora again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life, specifically high energy breeds such as German Shepards. I have a five year old Labrador Retriever mix and a two year old Siberian Husky. I have personally trained all of my dogs on everything. My work schedule is pretty flexible which allows me to pet sit almost any day and any time. I do tend to be more available in the evenings or on weekends. I have a fully fenced yard that surrounds the property. I also have two very well trained and friendly dogs that live on the property. I have a crate, if needed. I also have gates both the front door and back door so that no animals can get out.
About: I’ve grown up always having both cats and dogs in the house! They are family and should be treated as such. From puppies that our dog gave birth to when I was a kid to adopting my own pets, I understand the tenderness that goes into caring for animals. I work from home so I’m available to care for your fur baby whenever you need me to check in! I do have a cat and a dog of my own so I will need to check in on them occasionally. I do live with someone (who looks after our pets while I’m doing Rover) which allows me to keep doing this as a fun side gig! If I’m not available, check out Allison: https://r.rover.com/YoZ3PB I believe that trust is a two way street! You’re entrusting me with the care of someone who means the world to you and I want to do my best to honor your trust. To me, that means closely following the instructions you have in place and staying in the areas that you’ve designated for me. However, that also means that I have to be able to trust you and the environment I’m staying in. I’m a completely open book and if there’s anything I can do to ease your mind while you’re away, just ask. :)
“Rebekkah was amazing with Tucker. We had some very serious health issues occur while she was sitting for him, and she handled everything with kindness, grace, and professionalism. Her communication was great. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Miranda was a great sitter! Our dogs seemed happy and content while we were gone. She was very good about sticking to their routine and gave us frequent updates. We will definitely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northville
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!

Chloe was amazing with our two Labradors while we were away on a weekend trip! She took such great care of them and was such a great communicator throughout the whole weekend with updates and pictures which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs loved her! They were so happy, comfortable and well loved! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Chloe again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter! Thanks Chloe!!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .

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.
