“Chloe is an incredibly sweet and attentive walker. She observed early signs of heat exhaustion in my dog and was sure to take action along with giving me educated recommendations. I’d recommend Chloe for anyone with busy days in need of a walker!”
“Melanie does an amazing job with both of my dogs. They come back happy, exercised, and ready to relax which I greatly appreciate. I can tell the dogs love their time with her because they will bark out the picture window begging her to come back for more. Melanie is super attentive and willing to accommodate any schedule changes and additional asks, with excellent communication throughout. Highly recommended, and very thankful I was able to find someone my dogs love so much!”
About: While I’ve never had a dog of my own, I’ve hosted several friends’ dogs in my home over the years. I love getting to know their unique personalities and making them feel comfortable and loved. I’ll make sure your pup feels right at home while you’re away! My schedule is currently very flexible, so I can accommodate most pet care needs and adjust to your pup’s routine. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while respecting their routines and personalities. I’m happy to accommodate special needs, including administering medication, and provide regular photo updates for your peace of mind!
“Super happy with Olivia! I am a nervous mom since my dog has only been looked after once before. Olivia was kind enough for my endless texts about the possible gremlin on the end of the leash, otherwise known as my sweet baby. Olivia was kind, respectful, on time, communicative and took great care of my dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 6 years. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pet. I currently have a 6 year old dog that thinks everyone is his friend. I work from home so it would be easy to drop in, feed, and take your pet for a walk. I do request at least couple hours notice. I do not currently do any dog boarding in my home. I would be able to drop in to check on your dog and take your pet for a walk.
“Emi-Lu is definitely the person you want caring for your dog when you are gone. She is thorough, detailed, kind, and compassionate. She even texted me this morning to make sure she could find my key and to ask how long our dog likes to walk. Emi-Lu is the best sitter on Rover!!”
“I am so thankful for Michelle. She is a quality person who took amazing care of my sweet dog on an extended vacation. She is a wonderful communicator, reliable and most importantly took exceptional care of my dog. It allowed me to have a stress free vacation knowing that my dog had a walk and got out in the bitter cold and my elderly parent was not faced with that chore. Thank you Michelle. I am so glad to have met you you’re truly a blessing.”

About: I love working with dogs, they bring happiness to my life! I have 2 dogs on my own that I walk every day. I pay very close attention to my dogs when I am walking them. I treat them as I would my own children. My house is dog safe because my own fur babies love to get into things they shouldn't, which has improved my techniques as an owner. As a dog loving house, there are treats and food available always. I am a big believer in fresh water daily for my pets. I have been around dogs since I was little, I love to care for them and know how read their body language. I started pet sitting for my family and friends. I have a fenced house where dogs can play safely. In my house dogs can be on the couch. I will spend time playing and caring for your dog or cat as well as walking with them.
About: I've had animals all my life- 3 cats, 2 dogs, 1 guinea pig, 3 hermit crabs, and numerous fish. I now also cat sit for my neighbor and friends when they go on vacations or trips ranging from a day to a week. I make sure I spend lots of time with their furry friends so they don't get lonely and they get the care they need. I am currently in college and working part-time but my schedule allows me for ample time to check in on the furry buddies on my available days or the nighttime. I love to give my animals lots of cuddles and kisses. I make sure to give them long amounts of pets and love. If a storm is going on, I always make sure to turn on calming animal music and talk them through it. I treat animals like they are people and someone who needs care and love.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Novi
From the very first meet and greet, I knew my Siberian Husky, Barrett, was in good hands. Barrett is usually pretty selective about who he feels comfortable around, especially when it comes to going to potty. He typically needs to know someone for a while before he'll poop for them, but he went immediately during his first meeting with Andrew! It was instant proof of how comfortable Barrett felt with Andrew's calm, confident demeanor. Beyond Barrett clearly loving his walks, Andrew made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. His communication and check-ins were always prompt, and he took the absolute best photos of Barrett on their outings. I was able to completely relax at work knowing Barrett was happy, safe, and well cared for. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and great with dogs, I can't recommend Andrew enough!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Novi. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
