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.

Monday to Thursday, 5-7 pm Working Friday 5-7 pm Off Friday (Every other Friday), 9am - 5pm Weekend, 9am - 5pm My schedule is flexible on holidays if I am not traveling. I will follow the rules or requirements from the owners to take care of pets. I will keep the living area of pets as clean as possible.
“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!”
“Lauren is kind and loving our fur baby, Remi! She walks him 3 days each week for at least a mile early in the morning! Lauren is a good communicator via text. She lets me know if she needs flexibility with the schedule which I do appreciate! Lauren is a grad student so having a flexible walk time is important. I am happy to have met her and will continue her service. A+++++”
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.
“Lauren was great. We were in a pinch and needed a walker for a week and she graciously helped us out. She communicated clearly and was great with our dog. We will be using her again in the future!”
“Andrew was wonderful. My dog is very skiddish and afraid to be away from me. But Andrew did an excellent job of taking care of him and made sure he was always safe. I would recommend Andrew to anyone!!”
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: 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 fully insured and I am also able to give medications for pets who need it, including inhalers and insulin. 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.
“Great communication and follow through! I felt so at ease booking with Stephanie & Brenton. Highly recommended! Thank for taking such good care of our Monte man!”
“Stephanie is absolutely fantastic! She is 100% reliable and went above and beyond what she was hired to do. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will hire her again when needed!! if I could give her 10 stars, I would.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of my friends and dogs tend to like me around them. I can read a dog's body language and learned to communicate with them with respect through body language. I am reliable and easy going with dogs and people. I currently work a full time job as a nurse but I can walk dogs on my days off. My schedule is flexible so I don’t have a fixed time schedule for now. I live in an apartment with a balcony. I am not dog sitting for now. I am just offering dog walking services around your neighborhood

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Novi on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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:
- 93% 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.
