“We had another great experience with Alia, Ian and family. They took amazing care of my dog Cleo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such a loving, safe environment. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but they made it so much easier. I’m so grateful and will continue using them in the future!”
“We can’t say enough wonderful things about our experience! Wally had an amazing time during his stay and was clearly treated like part of the family. He loved exploring their beautiful yard, going on walks, and spending time playing with everyone. We especially appreciated the regular updates and all the fantastic photos—they gave us so much peace of mind and it was obvious that Wally was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. The pictures truly captured how much fun he was having! It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, and we are so grateful for the love and attention they gave Wally while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy!”
“Brenda and her husband were the sweetest people that I’ve had watch over my dog due to my trip getting canceled. She kept my dog and took care of her until I had to get back safely. I highly recommend her. She was extremely kind and caring and sent me a lot of pictures and videos and kept me updated.”
“Holly was great with our dog Max. We had left Max with Holly for around 18 days. Max was comfortable and enjoyed his stay thoroughly at Holly’s place. Holly would send us daily pictures of Max assuring us that he is having a great time. I would highly recommend Holly & book her as a dog sitter for our dog Max when planning our next vacation.”
“my dogs must have enjoyed it because they didn’t act any different getting in the car and going home. They barely missed us. I can tell this family enjoyed taking care of my dogs and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
“AAA+++! Couldn't be happier! Lots of photos and videos. Louie had a great time .... made new play and snuggle buds! Thanks for the love and attention, Anthony! See you next time!”
“Andrew is always great with Polly and with me. He sends me pictures of Polly everyday and Polly looks so happy with him! Seeing Polly so happy keeps me comfortable and happy while Im away”
“Lynn is absolutely wonderful with my Cavapoo. She is such a sweet and caring person to me and my dog. Lynn follows all of my care instructions perfectly. She takes Lily out for a walk every day and sends me photos of their route, along with daily updates and photos. I trust Lynn and highly recommend her.”
“Julie did an amazing job with our fur baby! I think he was probably a little sad to come home! She made sure to give him plenty of exercise, and fun time. He loved playing in her kiddy pool with the garden hose! She made sure to send plenty of pictures and updates so we knew how happy he was! Her greyhound is also a super sweetheart!”
“Melanie did a great job with Lucy, 12 year-old aussie minature. When I picked her up she was playing with Max and another little doggie too. I'll have Melonie again in the future. Thanks!”
“Jenna did a wonderful job taking care of my Standard Poodle. After our meet and greet where I met Jenna, her husband and 2 dogs I felt they were an attentive and dog loving and dog centered family. I really appreciated their fenced yard and their flexibility and understanding that my dog was not perfectly trained, she still jumps and does not go for walks calmly. It was clear that Jenna's family was going to provide the same loving attention and lots of activity (playing with their dogs) my dog receives at home. Jenna was responsive when we communicated, she would answer within a few minutes. She sent pictures and updates. I could not have asked for a better sitter for my dog and I will definitely use them again in the future. My dog was happy and well cared for by Jenna!”
“Our dog was in great hands with Karen! During the period of his stay, she had some extra help to help manage the dogs she was dog sitting. He was very happy when we picked him up.”
About: I had a puppy for one year and helped take care of my friends’ cats when they were out of town. I like walking dogs and give treats to cats . Monday to Thursday, 5-7 pm Working Friday 5-7 pm Off Friday (Every other Friday), 9am - 5pm Weekend, 9am - 5pm My schedule is flexible on holidays if I am not traveling. I will follow the rules or requirements from the owners to take care of pets. I will keep the living area of pets as clean as possible.
“Aaron took great care of my pup. Be provided updates and let me know how he was doing whenever I asked. Einstein was provided a safe and secure environment with plenty of space. 10/10.”
“Amie and her family are absolutely wonderful!! They took just incredible care of my little Kaju. Sent me pictures to tell me about everything she had been up to…cannot say enough nice things about her. Thank you SO MUCH, Amie! Looking forward to many many more OG Kaju’s stays with you 🥰”
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.

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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Novi on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,764 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Novi. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Novi sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Novi landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Novi home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
