“Charlie is so thoughtful and responsive. He truly cares about the pets he is with and it is such a joy knowing that my dog is well cared for while I’m away. We can’t recommend Charlie enough!”


“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!”

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.
“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: I am certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, including pet CPR and emergency response skills. I take pet safety seriously and am prepared to handle unexpected situations while providing loving, dependable care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior dogs, playful cats, or shy pets that need extra patience, I provide attentive care, plenty of affection, and a safe environment. I’m responsible, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I don’t currently have another job, so I have a very flexible schedule. That means I’m available for daytime, evening, overnight, and last-minute bookings. I’ll make caring for your pet my priority, ensuring they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and the care they deserve while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. For overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pet has company throughout the night and sticks to their usual schedule. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I’ll ensure your pet gets the exercise, care, and affection they need while keeping you updated with photos and messages after each visit.
“Paulette has been walking my dog for months now. She is trustworthy, caring, punctual, and most of all she loves animals. My dog and cat love her and she has been a great asset to my family. I highly recommend her for all your pet needs.”

About: Within my 20 years of vast experience with animals. I currently have three dogs of my own and have fostered dogs as well as rescued abandoned cats. I'm a certified dog groomer as well as currently working on my certification for animal massage therapy that will include dogs, cats, and horses. I currently am working full-time so as of right now I'm available 10:am - 1:pm. weekdays and after 4:30 p.m.. I always use precaution and safety measures when taking care of animals. I will follow all instructions from the owner. I currently have three dogs myself and previously have owned cats and ferrets, so I'm well aware of precautions and safety issues to prevent anything from happening.
About: Hi there! I grew up with a dog by my side, and my family had a beloved pup until last year. My kids have been begging for another, but for now, we’ve decided to channel our love for animals into caring for yours! My kids and I are here to provide plenty of attention, belly rubs, and care while you’re away. Think of us as the fun aunt and uncle (and cousins!) for your pets—plenty of playtime, snuggles, and treats (with your permission, of course!). We can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! Between my husband, who works from home full-time, and me being a stay-at-home mom, there’s always someone here to care for your pet. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, or just having company throughout the day, your furry friend will never be alone for long. Our flexible schedules allow us to provide consistent care, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. We have a spacious, fenced-in backyard, perfect for playtime and fresh air. Our neighborhood is also great for walks, offering plenty of safe and scenic routes. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that, but we also have the flexibility to let them roam freely in our home. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so whether they’re staying with us or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow your routines and rules to make them feel as comfortable as possible.
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 :)

“Lauren is a caring and conscientious caregiver. She loves dogs and takes great care to make sure that she has your dog’s best care in mind. Our dog loves to be walked by Lauren.”


About: I work as a pet sitter full time and have also been a veterinary assistant so I have experience with caring for pets, I am also able to give medications for pets who need it. I have experience with both cats and dogs but have more experience with cats! I have my own cat that I care for and am an insured pet sitter full time! I love caring for pets as if they are my own and go above and beyond to make their owners feel safe! I care for pets in your home by feeding, giving water, attention (play, cuddles, walk, depending on animals needs), cleaning litter or letting pets out, administering medication, and generally looking out for their well being.
“Jim was amazing with Pixie! We were out of town and had never left our little Toy Fox Terrier at our house alone. She has not done well with kennel boarding so we hoped she would be ok with someone from Rover coming to take care of her. Jim took her for great walks, he fed her, gave her medications, and snuggled with her. She was SO Happy! We have established a great trust relationship with Jim and Pixie seems to love him. Hire Jim and you will have extreme peace of mind like we had.”
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful with Leo. I couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided him. She is so sweet and attentive to my senior dog. She cared for Leo for 7 days/nights in my home and I am so pleased that I found her. Thank you Jessica. I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I've taken care of many different types of dogs that are in my family, whether they are big, small, energetic, or laid-back. This experience will help me with interacting with whatever type your dog may be. I am available almost anytime right now, as I am a student on summer break! I can walk dogs or visit houses to feed and keep them company whenever it fits into your schedule. Keeping your dog safe is of the utmost importance! I am well-equipped to stay within the environments you frequent with your pet, as well as keep them safe when exploring outside.
“I was hesitant about using Rover, however Julia made me feel very comfortable about the app! She is responsive, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about the pets she takes care of! It is so nice to be able to go to work and know that my dog is being cared for by her! Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Novi on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Novi.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Novi. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
