“Edimari is extremely sweet and professional when it comes to taking care of your pup! She helped me on short notice when I was leaving the country, and helped keep my anxious dog happy and healthy while I was gone. She went above and beyond for me doing drop in visits while also ensuring my house was in order. She is reliable, punctual and had great communication while I was away. I could not be more happy with the service she provided!! Thank you again Edimari and I will definitely be booking you again.”

“Kalyn is very understanding of dogs that may require some special care. She understands queues of dogs that may have anxiety meeting new people and is willing to take time and move slow with them. Very happy with her checking in on our dog.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of all breeds since I was young, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Along with caring for family pets, I previously ran a small pet-sitting business and have raised several dogs from puppyhood, giving me hands-on experience with every stage of life. My approach to care and training is rooted in patience and positive reinforcement. Creating a calm, supportive environment is important to me, and I value working with pet parents who feel the same way. I also work in the medical field and am experienced in administering medications, including injections. I understand how important it is to follow care instructions precisely, especially when it comes to health needs. I’m highly detail-oriented and committed to making sure your pet receives attentive, reliable, and loving care tailored specifically to them. I am currently studying for a board exam so am mostly working from home and have a rescue pup of my own that needs lots of walks and play time. Let us bring your buddy along on one of our hikes! I live in a house with my dog, Daisy. She loves everyone, including all types of animals, and will happily keep your pet company. I have multiple crates available if your pet should need one :)

The level of care that goes into our dogs health and safety as well as the amazing communication makes rebooking a no brainer!”
“Erin was amazing! This was my first time using a sitter for my cats- she was sweet, reliable, and always answered right away.

I will absolutely reach out to her again if I need someone and will recommend her to anyone I know needing a pet sitter!”

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 Novi 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Novi choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Novi with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
