About: Growing up with a pup in a highly active family, I have over 5 years of experience hiking, biking, and running with dogs! Long walks and dogs with high activity needs are my specialty, though I have also been approached by friends and peers to walk, sit, and care for a variety of pets with varying needs. From sitting multiple cats, to rats, to elderly dogs, I have a wide range of experience, and am dedicated to customizing to your pet's needs. As a college student currently on summer break, I have a very open schedule with room available to cater to your specific needs. A majority of the work I do is online or portable, so you can guarantee that your pet receives the time and care they deserve! I have experience with dogs of all activity styles, and am quick to adapt to the specific needs of your pet. Safety and well-being are top priorities, so I am sure to stay on top of your pet's eating, sleeping, and playing habits! I am attentive to your pet's environment, maintaining cleanliness and safety at all times.
“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.”
“Jennifer is one in a million. We left our cat with my elderly mom for 3 months while we were in Florida. Jennifer made weekly visits to look in on Maizy. My mom looked forward to each and every visit and I'm happy to say they became friends. Jennifer is extremely kind and efficient. We had no worries about mom taking care of Maizy while we were gone. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Abbey was so sweet! I loved that she spent time with my kitties and made sure they were loved, watered, and fed! Thank you for all your help, Abbey! Highly recommend booking her for your fur babies.”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my ability to balance active, engaging care with a calm and patient approach. Whether your pet loves long walks, a good game of fetch, or simply relaxing and feeling safe, I adapt to their personality and needs. I’m especially comfortable working with elderly pets and those with medical needs. I understand the importance of routine, gentle handling, and close attention to detail when it comes to medications, mobility limitations, or simply providing a quieter, low-stress environment. I take pride in making sure every pet feels comfortable, supported, and cared for at their own pace. I treat every pet like they’re my own—paying attention to the little things, keeping you updated, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I make sure to plan my availability so I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I am a graduate student at Wayne State, so I do have classes Monday-Friday. Outside of those hours, I’m available for visits, walks, and check-ins. My weekends are somewhat flexible, allowing me to provide more extended care, drop-ins, or multiple visits as needed. I’m especially happy to help with dog walking, whether it’s part of your pet’s daily routine or if you just need an extra hand. If getting your dog out for a walk has become difficult, I’m more than willing to step in and make sure they still get the exercise, fresh air, and attention they need. I aim to be reliable, flexible, and accommodating so your pet’s care fits seamlessly into both of our schedules. When caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know how important it is for pets to stay in a familiar environment, so I take the time to follow your instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, medication, or favorite playtime activities. I approach every home with respect and every pet with patience. Some pets love attention and play, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence, and I’m very comfortable adjusting to both. I make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep you updated with regular check-ins so you can feel confident knowing your pet (and your home) are in good hands. My goal is to provide dependable, thoughtful care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pet happy in the place they know best.
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!
“As always, Heather is reliable and wonderful. We travel many weekends for kids' activities, but we never worry about our pets because we know we can count on her to take excellent care of them!”
“Jessica was amazing, responded straight away and was very responsible, she took great care of Gizmo and went above and beyond of what was asked, I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you Jessica, so glad I found you 😁 Mandy B”
“Hannah was fantastic with my puppy Freddie!! She accommodated a last minute request with flexibility and ease. She kept me well updated, sent photos, and it was clear that Freddie loved spending the day with her. Would absolutely rebook in the future!!”
“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!”
“Emily is like the cat whisperer. She was able to get my nervous kitty to interact instead of hide the whole time. I felt better on my trip knowing they were in good hands. Thanks so much!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Celia!!! She followed instructions to the T and sent me pictures and feedback at every visit. My (spoiled) kitties were well cared for and I will definitely request her the next time I leave town!!”
“Our girls LOVE Nick. He took such great care of them and we came home to happy pups. We look forward to continuing to schedule drop ins and dog sitting in the future !”
“Melanie impressed me from the start! This was the first time leaving my two kittens (5 months) over the weekend. But I felt 100% comfortable with Melanie, from our meet and greet through the end of my time away. I would recommend her for sure.”
“Rachel was so great! She really loves cats, and when she walked in to meet our cats even the shy one came right out to get to know her! She spent quality time with our kitties while we were out of town and sent pics at each visit. I highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northville
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!
Lauren and Ian were perfect. They came every day on time and followed the care instructions perfectly. I have a hiding kitty and they communicated well about him and gave lots of love and play to my other cat. They even brought in our mail and boxes daily. Would definitely recommend and hire again in the future!
Darío and Vanessa are absolutely amazing! Matilda loves them, and we couldn’t ask for better pet sitters. They always keep us updated on how she’s doing, send us lots of photos, and make sure we know she’s happy and well cared for. Their communication gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. We truly appreciate everything they do, and we will definitely continue trusting them to care for Matilda whenever we travel. Highly recommended!
I had a great experience with Stephanie. This was my first time leaving my cat alone for several days, and I was understandably nervous, but she did an excellent job and quickly put me at ease. She was reliable, communicative, and very attentive to Bagel’s needs. She made sure he was eating, drinking, and using the litter normally, and she took the time to observe his behavior rather than forcing interaction. Bagel is a cautious cat, but he became more comfortable over the course of the visits. I really appreciated the updates and knowing that Bagel was calm, safe, and well cared for in his own home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her, especially for shy or sensitive pets.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Northville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
