“Stephanie, Brenton and their kids took great care of our boy, Samson. They consistently sent texts and pics to let us know how he was doing. Wonderful family!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Alia & Ian provided for my boys, Frankie & Marco! They were incredibly reliable, and sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It's clear they're experienced and truly love dogs. My boys were happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend their services and will definitely be booking them again!”

“Aisha was very professional and always keeping in touch when I call or text! She also sent pics as well. Very nice, House is beautiful and I will be back very soon. Thank you so much”

“Janine was wonderful with Dixie and made him feel very comfortable. She kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos throughout his stay, and was incredible accommodating with our last minute schedule changes. Her kids were also so sweet and loved Dixie. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small family farm, where pets were always part of the family. My parents frequently adopted and fostered both cats and dogs, so I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of personalities and breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to Basset Hounds and high-energy Huskies. Although I can’t currently have pets of my own, caring for other people’s animals has become my favorite way to stay connected to what I love most. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m available in the morning and evenings, and am able to leave work during breaks to do a quick check in on pets! Weekends are completely open. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to work with families to make sure their pets get the attention and care they need! Although I grew up with dogs on the couch and in bed I will always respect the owner’s house rules. Multiple walks a day, respecting scheduled feeding times, and most of all giving all of my attention to your furry friends!
“I appreciated Dawn’s flexibility and compassionate care for my little Chico. She kept me informed of his activities and also updated me with pictures. Definitely will be rebooking with her if I need a sitter.”
“Kerri R was great with my dog Peppa. She treated her as her own and welcomed her into her home. Peppa had an excellent time. I will definitely be using Kerri R again. I suggest you do the same! 😊🐶”

Thank you for taking great care of Haku for me. I really appreciated the updates and pictures. I had peace of mind knowing he was well taken care of and he was getting the special attention a senior dog needs. I will definitely rebook the next time I need a sitter. Many thanks!
Lili absolutely loves staying with Tiffani and her family! They take wonderful care of her and treat her like one of their own. This was our second stay, and it was once again a completely worry-free experience. I couldn't ask for a better sitter while I'm away. Highly recommend!
Jennifer is a fantastic surrogate dog mom! She is responsive when scheduling, sends frequent updates and pictures during boarding, and treats my dog like family. He is always happy to see her! Knowing he’s cared for, happy and comfortable while I’m away is priceless.
Andrew was wonderful with Oakley. From our initial Meet & Greet through her stay, he was thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely interested in getting to know her. He carefully reviewed her care guide, took notes, asked thoughtful questions, and kept me updated with regular messages and lots of photos. I really appreciated the care and attention he gave her and felt very comfortable knowing she was in his care. I would happily recommend Andrew to other Rover clients.
Christina took care of our pup for the first time recently. My husband was having a procedure. The time changed and she adjusted her schedule to help us out! Our Pup was a little nervous and timid. She went out of her way to help him relax. She sent pics and kept us informed on how he was doing. He even had a pup cup! I’d recommend Christina to care for your pet. She’s very kind. Responding quickly, and did a wonderful job for us!
Miranda was so easy to work with and really helped me out! We were moving from several states away and had to board two cats and two dogs, and Miranda took care of them with no problems at all. She was able to provide medications the dogs needed. Miranda and her roommate were just so incredibly helpful. Can't thank them enough!

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Novi can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Novi home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Novi.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Novi sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
