“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.”
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.
“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 took such great care of our sweet giant dog. We so appreciate the detailed communication, the thoughtful questions and accommodating the dynamic needs of our pup. She went up and beyond, thank you!”
“My first time using Rover. Have a Corgi and Havanese and needed someone to let them out once a day during the work week, a reoccurring schedule.Andrew responded quickly to set up a meet and greet. MEET & GREET - The Havanese is more hesitant and nervous. As soon as Andrew came through the door she was right there at his legs. We went outside with the dogs where we spoke about Rover and he interacted with both dogs. They were surrounding and running around for him to play. We eventually came back inside. We sat in family room and both dogs were still wanting to play with him. The Havanese was on his lap and ready to give kisses. ONE WEEK of SERVICE - more than I expected. Andrew always on time, fed them, always commented on what ladies did during potty break, cleaned up after them and he played with them. He calls them furry tornadoes. I laugh as they are busy bodies. I am VERY happy with my experiences with Andrew. I feel fortunate to have him for the ongoing weekly occurrences.”
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: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up on a farm, and at one point we had 12 indoor dogs, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes. They were never “just pets” to us; they were family, and that’s how I’ve always believed animals should be treated. I’ve also cared for cats and have experience dog sitting, so I’m comfortable looking after pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for yours the same way I’d care for my own. I take classes two days a week and spend the rest of my time at home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention and care. I'm also available most weekends, making it easy to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for by following their usual routine as closely as possible. I'll follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions provided by the owner and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I truly enjoy spending time with animals and giving them the love and companionship they deserve. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: I have experience pet sitting, housesitting, and live with three dogs of my own. I love animals and helping people with their pets. I offer photography services, lots of cuddles, and will love your dogs like you do! I work during the week and choose to relax by taking care of and playing with dogs! There's nothing I enjoy more than helping people and caring for pups. I always make sure to spend time with dogs while not leaving them alone for long periods of time. When their family leaves, it can be stressful for pets and I do everything I can to make it easier for them.
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.

“Jennifer was great with our Golden retriever, Moon! He immediately liked her on a meet and greet. On the day Jennifer was watching him at our house she sent lots of photos of what Moon was doing and wrote a detailed message on how the visit went. It was nice to see Moon enjoying himself and engaged in activities. We will absolutely use Jennifer again!”
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. :)
About: Flexible schedule both time and days. I have worked with adoption networks and shot clinics. Love all dogs big and small. I love interacting with them and all about playing and having fun! Open all days and times for you. I work remotely so my schedule is open to help out. Willing to work with clients to best fit there needs. I follow all of the owners rules. It is important they are well taken care of and make sure there is interaction to keep them happy.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand the joy and responsibility that comes with caring for them. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra love and patience, I’ve had hands-on experience at every stage of a pet’s life. I also worked at a dog daycare for over a year, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—managing group play, feeding schedules, and basic training reinforcement. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing approach to every pet I care for, and I treat them like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable and compassionate care. I currently am in school doing my full-time clinical rotations for occupational therapy. I will have weekends, afternoons, and early mornings available to care for your fur babies! I have a fenced in yard and a 1.5 year old doodle who loves to play! I also have 2 young kittens not even a year old yet who get along with my dog very well. I love all pets and will be so happy to spend time with each and every one of your pets!!
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and other furry animals! I have learned that each animal is different and therefore requires different forms of care. My family and I currently own a gorgeous 7 year old golden retriever named Teddy, and 3 cats (including 2 outside ones). I’m currently working towards a pet unrelated certification. I also work part time from Thursday-Sunday evenings and afternoons. I’m fully available Monday-Wednesday and I can fill the rest of my mornings with your furry best friend! Unfortunately my home is unavailable to dog sit at, however I would love to take care of your pet within the comfort of your own home/neighborhood.
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.
“From pictures Manal sent to me, I could tell both of my cats were happy when I was traveling. She has perfectly followed the instructions I asked. I am very grateful that I have found her. Highly recommended. Will ask her to take care of my cats again when I have to travel :) :) :)”
“Colleen was able to do a drop in visit very short notice for my dog, who can be nervous around new people and she did a great job! Really helped me out short notice which is so appreciated, and even sent me photos of my dog during the drop in visit. She responded quick and was very professional and kind. I will 100% be a repeat customer, and highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to dog sit.”

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.
