“Taylor did a great job for me and Brewtus. He was well cared for by Taylor and he looked really happy. I could tell that she loves animals. She is also a fellow dog owner with three of them as well. I felt really good about having her take care of him. I would have her take care of my dog again. I would highly recommend. Well done, Taylor. Thank you so much!”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in the pets who need a little extra: seniors, anxious or reactive dogs, and pets on medication schedules (oral and injectable). I’m an approved foster parent with Almost Home Animal Rescue, where I’ve cared for dogs with special needs, helped shy and fearful pups come out of their shells, and managed multi-dog households with conflict, including food-aggressive and territorial dogs. I’ve trained puppies, nursed blind senior dogs through their golden years, and treat every pet in my care exactly as I would my own two dogs at home. I’m equally comfortable with cats. I grew up with them, have cared for 5+ over the years, and even rescued a kitten from my previous neighborhood. Whether it’s a confident cat who needs company or a shy one who needs space and patience, I tailor my approach to what each individual pet actually needs. Clients tell me they return from vacation to a happier, calmer pet than when they left and that’s the standard I hold myself to. I’m currently working part time while I am in graduate school and my partner currently works from home most days so my schedule is very flexible for care. I am available weekdays except for Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings, as I coach a dance team during that time. We currently reside in a house in Farmington Hills with a huge fenced in backyard. The house has been puppy proofed as we approved foster parents with Almost Home Animal Rescue. When caring for a new pet, I always make sure to give them a comfortable and positive experience with me.
About: I have worked at a dog daycare/boarding/training facility for over 6 years in the past and I have 1 dog of my own. Taking care of dogs has been a lifelong passion of mine and I believe every dog deserves the best care for their specific needs. This means whether your pet needs a person who will take them for a run, someone to meander with them as they take in every smell, or anything in between, I’m here for them! As a summer seasonal worker in my off season, I have plenty of time I would love to spending taking care of your pouches! Typically, I am able to schedule bookings for anytime between 8am-5pm, as I still need time to spend quality time with loved ones. Weekend availability can be a little different, as I often like to do something special with family or friends, but any off time I’d have I would love to fill with visiting my doggie friends. Following every owners’ rules is my number one priority. You know what works for you, your dog, and your home and I am more than happy to follow your guidance. That means your word is what I will follow, and I’m not afraid to ask questions if I need clarification on anything.
About: I have been training and taking care of my own dogs for 25 years now and have dog/house sat for many of my friends and family members as well. My sister was a vet technician and she taught me a lot about proper training of puppies. I have always been a dog person. I often dog/house sit for my own family members and friends when they go on vacation. I always worry about finding a trustworthy person to watch my own dog when going on vacation, so I know how important providing these services are. Rest assured your loved one will receive the best when under my care. I have always been a very honest and responsible person and look forward to meeting new animals to care for while you enjoy your time away. I have a large fenced-in backyard for your dog to run around in and a large 2 story home for your loved one to explore when inside. My own baby girl Harley, LOVES other dogs and will enjoy having friends over to run around with. I also have a medium sized Kennel available if needed/required and my home has the ability to keep animals separated by room or by floor if needed/requested. Contact me to setup a meet and greet!!
About: I’ve had many years of experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and a chinchilla. I have two cats of my own, and I also regularly care for my sister’s 14-year-old dog, including giving him his medications and making sure he gets the care and attention he needs. I previously had a husky of my own, so I’m very comfortable with energetic, strong, and sometimes stubborn dogs 😂. My husky was definitely a handful to walk, so I always joke that no other dog could be as challenging as mine! I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available most days starting at 8 AM, including weekends, and I’m happy to work with different schedules when possible. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, medication, or simply some extra companionship while you’re away, I’d love to help. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them that way! I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, exercise, and love while they’re in my care. I’d love the opportunity to become someone you and your pets can rely on! 🐾 Animals are already a big part of my everyday life! I have two cats of my own who I care for daily, and I also regularly care for my sister’s 14-year-old dog, including giving him his medication and making sure he gets plenty of attention and care. Because I already have pets in my routine, caring for other animals feels very natural to me. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days starting at 8 AM, which allows me plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special care they may need. In a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect I would my own and make sure their pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and love. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and administering medication when needed. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away.
“I had a great experience with Allison.She was very responsive. I liked that she kept me updated with pictures and let me know that she was on her way. My dog liked her and i will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets and have lots of experience. I had cats and dogs growing up and started pet sitting for neighbors and family friends when I was around 12 years old. I am used to taking care of both puppies and kittens along with senior cats and dogs. I have pet sit for animals that require medication and looked after my own dogs post surgery. I have volunteered at shelters/fostered and worked with animals of all temperaments. I just got back from a year abroad and won’t be starting school back up until January so I have lots of time and no set schedule. I often go to the gym Monday and Friday morning and hikes with my mothers dog on the weekends but I’m flexible. I have pet sit and my home and at the clients home and am comfortable with either! My house has a fenced in yard and is close to a park. I have recently taken in my grandfathers elderly cat she’s very quiet and sweet and spends most of her time sleeping in my bed. I also occasionally watch my moms husky mix who loves to play with other dogs.
About: In my circle of family and friends, I’m known as the “resident pet sitter.” I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, and everything in between. I’m comfortable administering medications (I give my own cat medicine daily!) and have experience helping anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m very attentive to routines and always follow feeding schedules and instructions carefully. When I care for your pets, I treat them like my own and how I hope someone would treat my pets. I am patient and understanding and would love to get to know your furry friend’s quirks! Since I work from home, pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I enjoy building my day around making sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any specific care requests. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while their owners are away. I also treat every home with respect and keep things clean and organized. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I absolutely love spending time with pets—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them some extra love and attention. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Friends and family often rely on me to look after their pets, and I always treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your furry family member is in good hands, and I’d love to make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away! 🐾 I’m available after 5:00 during the week if walking is needed or a late night feeding I’m available most weekends days and nights Some Mondays I’m available earlier than 5:00 I would be comfortable caring for your pet in my home however I don’t have a fenced yard I would have to walk them if a dog to use the bathroom.
About: With over twenty years of experience rescuing and retraining 3 German Shepherd Dogs, and one Chocolate Lab. Along with two, eight-week training courses with Dan Morris, gives me the confidence to handle nearly any breed. I am currently semi-retired and have lots of time to help with pups that have busy parents. All days and evenings are currently available to help with all of your doggie's needs. Every day starts and ends with my dogs. From proper nutrition, attention to food allergies, walks, training, and lots of love. Trustworthy and dependable, I would love to share my doggy skillset with the Rover community!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 18 years now. I usually help family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are like family and should be treated as such and that is something I value in my care. I work full-time in grocery retail, typically on the early morning shift. This means I am completely done with work by mid-afternoon and have the rest of the day, evening, and night entirely open to focus on your pet! For house sitting or boarding, your pet will be safely left for an 8-hour stretch during the day while I am at the store, but they will get plenty of exercise and attention before I leave and the absolute maximum amount of love, long walks, and playtime the moment I get home. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is most best for their loved one. I aim to make sure each pet is cared for and comfortable in their environment.
About: Ive taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl, now I have two of my own. I am currently a stay at home mom to a wonderful 15 month old little boy who just adores his furry brothers. Now that the weather is more ideal and my little one is getting bigger I’d like to start helping families in need again. I have a wonderful 6 year old Great Dane and a 3 year golden retriever. I also have a 15 month old son so ALL I ask is your pets are good with other dogs and children. We have a nice fenced in back yard, and I’ll be home all day with them. I can stop by for a few dog walks a day, please keep in mind my child will be with me so I ask your dog is child friendly and okay with strollers!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Novi
We had such a great experience with Kelsey watching our dogs while we were away for our wedding. She was so trustworthy, caring, and dependable, which gave us so much peace of mind during such a busy and important weekend. She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands, and we would absolutely trust her to watch them again. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again🤍
Erica was literally the best sitter a dog parent could ask for. Gave great notice if she couldn’t make it, was amazing with our puppy as they became great friends. No issues what so ever. If we could hire her forever we would! She was fantastic for the last 5 months!
Arden is very patient with our pups - one is grumpy and she’s handled him well, making him more comfortable with each visit; the other can be too excitable but Arden’s been able to keep her in check, too! She communicates exceedingly well and takes detailed notes so she’s best able to care for the pups. So happy we’ve found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Novi is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 4,247 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Novi. 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.
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 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 Meet & Greet.
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 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.
