About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for dogs—especially doodles and goldendoodles—and my natural ability to connect with animals through patience, playfulness, and care. As a first-year teacher, I’m reliable, responsible, and used to managing routines and adapting to individual needs, which translates beautifully to pet care. I create a calm, judgment-free environment for pets just like I do for students. Whether it’s helping a shy dog feel comfortable or giving extra attention to a senior pup, I take the time to understand each animal’s personality. I’m happy to work with puppies who need consistency and lots of love, or senior pets who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priority—and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I love a routine and would love to add your pet to mine as well as my own dogs! As a first year teacher, I have a lot of time off for the summer and would love to see more furry friends during this time between school years! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I treat both your space and your pets with respect, love, and attention to detail. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet gets quality time—whether that means playing, cuddling, or simply being there to keep them company. I check that they have fresh water, food if needed, and a clean space. I’ll also send photo and message updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. On walks, I match your dog’s pace and energy level—whether they’re playful and active or prefer a more relaxed stroll. Safety is always my top priority, and I aim to make every walk fun, comforting, and enriching for your pup.
“Tricia did a really good job taking care of my puppies Jax and Niko . They look really happy and enjoyed. She send me a lot of pictures of the puppies every day made me comfortable to feel that that they are in good hands.”
“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!”
“Jennifer stopped in to check in on my cats and made sure they were taken care of while I was away. The time she spent with them put me at ease during my vacation!”
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 always follow each owner’s instructions carefully, since they know their pet best. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. I enjoy spending time playing, cuddling, and making sure each pet feels happy and comfortable.
About: My family has done dog sitting and dog walking jobs for the past 5 years, I have stepped up when my parents have been unavailable to take care of others dogs and cats. This includes walking, playing, overnight stays, administering simple medicines in food, and cleaning up their messes of all kinds. I have owned family dogs since I was born and have been contributing to their care since I was 10. I currently work 2 part-time jobs as a lifeguard, with shifts being anywhere from 2-6 hours long. I work both in Northville and Ann Arbor and I’m happy to dogsit in either location! I understand the potential dangers of common things in homes for animals, such as poisons and injuries. I make effort to avoid any potential hazards, and keep your pets safe and happy!
About: Taken care of my sweet Diesel for 11 years (RIP). Also cared for my family’s dogs (french bulldog, corgi) and my neighbor’s dogs, incl. golden retrievers. Love to play and bring out their unique personalities. I love to go on walks and chuck the ball at the park with them! Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekly routine because I work part time as a preschool teacher and am currently studying for my teaching credential. My schedule allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for dogs and cats while balancing my work and studies. I’m happy to spend time with pets, follow their routines, and give them the companionship, exercise, and care they need. Safety and attentive care are always my top priorities. I’m familiar with leashes, harnesses, crates, and following specific feeding instructions, including food restrictions and dietary needs. If pets stay at my home, I have a fenced yard where they can enjoy supervised outdoor time safely. I’m committed to following each pet’s routine and providing a calm, secure, and comfortable environment :)
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 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!
“Working with Bethany is super easy! I trust her with my animals care and now she’ll do exactly what we ask. She stops in for 30 minute visits with our 2 dogs and 1 cat. Looking forward to using Bethany again!”
About: I grew up with dogs and love going on walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, and making sure each dog gets plenty of attention and affection. I take the time to learn every dog’s personality and energy level so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is for your pup to feel like they’re on their own little vacation too! I work full-time during the week, but I have availability after work and on weekends for pet care. I also have earlier afternoons on Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s needs and communicate clearly to ensure dependable and loving care. I will always respect your home and follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Communication is also very important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home that has been treated with the utmost respect.
“This was my first time using Patricia for cat drop-ins, and I felt completely at peace the whole time I was away. She understands cats and treats them with care. Her updates were the best I've received from any sitter: thorough, with great photos, and you can tell she isn't just checking boxes. She really pays attention and lets you know how your pets are doing. Don't hesitate. Book her!”
“I was so nervous about leaving my senior cat in the hands of someone else as she is very picky. And usually has choice words for strangers. Chelsea instantly eased my anxieties. She did a meet n greet which I thought was so kind. My cat instantly liked her (which is not usual for her!) Not only did Chelsea do the drop-in perfectly but she even was patient enough for my other skiddish cat to come out of hiding. And she sent plenty of pictures that gave me even more relief on my vacation. She even brought our packages in from the porch! I appreciate her and would definitely book her services again! 10/10 recommend!”
About: I have grown up loving and taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds. I have previous pet sitting experience with senior dogs and cats. I currently have a cat who has needed shots, medicine, and specific care. I am willing and happy to clean up any accidents. I am able to accommodate to any special care your animal(s) may need. I am currently taking a gap semester after completing my senior year of high school, so I have quite a bit of free time on my hands, and can always accommodate to last minute needs. I am able to accommodate to any special needs your pets may need. I also value respect, patience, and kindness with your home and pets.
About: What sets me apart is my patience and genuine love for animals. I cared for my own senior cat for 6 years, so I understand the extra attention older pets need, from gentle handling and consistent routines to noticing small changes in how they're eating, moving, or acting. I'm attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own. With my flexible schedule, I'm available evenings and weekends, and I'll send updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. With a flexible work schedule, I'm mainly available evenings and weekends, perfect for after-work walks, dinner-time feedings, and weekend drop-ins. I'm happy to work around your pet's routine. I always make sure every animal I encounter feels loved and is getting the best care possible. Whether it’s going for a longer walk or spending some extra time to cuddle I will always go out of my way to treat your pet like one of my own.
About: I have had animals all my life. I would love to take care of yours. If you are looking for a happy, healthy, and loving place to be when you are not available, then I am your lady. I am a retired lady so my schedule is mostly open. I plan ahead for engagements and appointments so once you are on my calendar, you are set. I live in a one story condo. I am happy to take your pet for walks or let your pet enjoy the outdoors on a lead. I of course will provide a safe place for your pet
“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 have taken care of many dogs and cat since I was 14 years old. I love pets and can provide them with excellent care. I currently have a part time job but have a lot of free time that I would love to fill with pets. I will soon be a full time student this fall and this service will allow me to also further my education. I will insure the pets I care for have a clean space and harmless environment. When taking them for walks I will make sure they have access to water when necessary.
“This was the first time leaving our cats since we moved up here, and Madalyne was great! She was thorough in her notes and communicated often. Will def use her for our future cat-sitting needs!”

Pet 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!
Chloe was great! She was communicative, send such sweet photos that showed my cats clearly loved her and took care of my cats really well. She even warned me when she was worried my cat was getting sick before I returned, which I really appreciate. I would absolutely contact her again.
Kelsey did a wonderful job dropping in on our senior cat while we were away. She gave our cat the attention and love she needed and it was clear Kelsey genuinely cared for her. Kelsey shared lots of photos and updates to make sure we could relax on vacation knowing our cat was safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Kelsey for your Rover needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Northville is $20 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 4,294 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Northville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
