About: I’ve taken care of pets including cats and dogs for about 3 years now, not including the cats and dogs I grew up with! I currently have a cat who loves cuddles and going on walks in his stroller! I currently work fully remote so I’ll have a lot of free time to tend to and play with your pet! I go on daily walks, perfect to give your pet time to stretch and get some fresh air I have ample space for pets to roam and play in my home. There’s also space to crate your pet if preferred. There is a walking path right outside my door that we can use for walks and potty *I walk cats as well! - in stroller*
“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 have experience dog sitting since I was a teenager. I’m use to having a dog around and I figured this was a great opportunity for me! I have numerous families who I have dog sat for already and I would love to build my clientele base! I would absolutely love the opportunity to look after your pup! I am flexible Mon-Fri. I do work during weekdays however I live very close to work and I am very fortunate to get a long lunch break each day to come home and make sure your pet gets the attention he/she deserves! I have lots of availability on the weekends, so if you have any weekend getaways or need extra help, i’m available! In a clients home: I ensure I know where everything I need is located inside the home. I always make sure pets are on a leash/harness during any given time when we venture outside of the home. In my home: I live in an animal-friendly 1 bedroom apartment, and have a safe space for your pup to roam freely in. I allow pets to roam inside the home unless pet owners feel more comfortable with them inside a provided crate when I am not present. When we venture outside, I only walk them with a harness/leash as that is the safest way to ensure their protection. There are lots of green fields to walk on and plenty of walks to be had!
“Andrew took care of Rylee while we were on vacation. He walked and fed her with loving care. She was on antibiotics and she received them routinely. We appreciate the care Andrew gave Rylee while we were away.”
“This was the first time leaving our cats since we moved up here, and Madalyne was great! She was thorough in her notes and communicated often. Will def use her for our future cat-sitting needs!”
“Lauren did a fantastic job caring for our cats! I can see they were well fed and played with while we were away. Lauren was very communicative and treated our home with care. I highly recommend her!”
“Sofia helped us out at the last minute and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with finding her! She was responsive and communicative and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs. We look forward to using her in the future.”
“Cammi is so warm, caring, and wonderful with my senior dog, Bella, on walks and drop ins. She is extremely communicative, detail oriented, and responsible as well. We have rebooked with her many times and will continue to do so in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Barb. I did not have a care or a worry about my cat or my house while I was away. I knew everything was in great hands with Barb. Having peace of mind while away is not always possible. But Barb provided that, which is priceless. Yet beyond all of that, my cat adored Barb. He loved her calm and gentle nature and I could tell from the videos and pictures Barb shared, that he felt safe and nurtured around her.”
About: I've been taking care of my neighborhood friends' pets(Yorkie and Sheetsy). I have a young half-Lab sweety girl and would love to take care of your family member I'm fully free to sit, walk and adore your pet with possible over-night stays on Saturdays and Sundays (work days by request) in Oakland county, MI I can take your pet to my appartement by request for over-night stays and walking. Over-night stays at your property by request, treats for your pets is on me :)
About: I don’t currently have a dog of my own but I grew up with them and love them! I have two kitties at home who are very loved and spoiled. I can feed, brush, play with, and walk your pets as needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a sweet toddler boy and my husband works from home so my visit schedule can be pretty flexible to meet your needs. I can easily feed, play with, and clean up after your pets. I’ll always treat your home and your animals like they are my own.
About: Hi! I’m Emily, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with a beloved family member, so I treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pet loves adventures, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to tailor my care to their needs. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for drop-in visits before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your pet receives reliable, consistent care while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I take the time to learn each cat’s routine and personality. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep food and water fresh, clean the litter box, provide playtime or cuddles as they’re comfortable with, and always make sure your home is secure before I leave. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: A first few things about me: 1. I've taken care of my neighbors pets ever since I was in middle school 2. I am a graduate student at MSU looking for some money on the side 3. I am very communicative over Rover with my clients I have lots of experience with big dogs and can handle pulling from them (my big Pyrenees/shepherd mix does the same). I've always had dogs in my life, and have played an active role in their care. I have been doing Rover since my time in NY undergrad, and look forward to having more clients now that I am in Michigan. I live in Holt, work in East Lansing, and spend a good chunk of time in Novi, so depending on your location I can flex as needed. One plus-I am a clean freak and will clean my repeat clients' homes while I am around so you can return to a clean space. Last minute bookings often work with me, so don't hesitate to shoot me a message. I always do meet and greets before booking for both sides' safety, and if an initial booking doesn't work out, I would love to meet for future care coverage. I run frequently, so if your dog has a lot of energy, I'm your gal. I will be doing research during the week on campus, but I am willing to be flexible and see what works according to client needs. I can travel to give walks given that I have my car here, and can go home during lunch on weekdays for potty breaks. I currently live in a house with a fenced in yard and can welcome your pet in or go to yours to take care of them. I always positively enforce my dog at home to make him feel safe, as he is a rescue that needs extra care considering he has some trauma.
“Rachel was so great! She really loves cats, and when she walked in to meet our cats even the shy one came right out to get to know her! She spent quality time with our kitties while we were out of town and sent pics at each visit. I highly recommend her!”

Charles was great and God sent. I made a last min request for a drop in visit and had never use Rover. Charles was open to a meet and greet same day and Tya absolutely loved him at first meet. The connection was made and my heart was settled. Looking forward to future services from Charles!
Rebecca jumped in last minute to help out with my dogs so my sister’s wedding day. She was prompt scheduling a meet & greet to get to know them & made me feel stress free knowing they were in good hands. Rebecca is amazing checking in and sending photo updates while I got to just enjoy my family. She even left a thank you card and treats for us. Overall, Rebecca was professional, friendly accommodating and thoughtful. I can’t recommend her enough.

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.

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.
