“Bruno was soo tired after his first day at day care with Cesar. I received updates throughout the day,even a short video...with music,and saw Bruno running playfully. I felt comfortable leaving our dog with Cesar since our first meet and greet.Safe backyard with taller privacy fence. I really like that the dogs are supervised even when playing outside and that they can move freely inside and outside.Thank you so much! I am booking more daycare times!”
“Ian and Alia,was great very patient with me being nervous about Rocko first day,definitely will be re-booking with them I highly recommend them thank you guys so much🤗🫶🏻”
About: Growing up both my wife and I have always had pets in our homes. My family and I love animals. I grew up around cats and my wife grew up around dogs and between the two of us we have decades of experience. We currently have a dog and 3 cats living with us. We got our puppy when he was only 4 months old and I am comfortable with the demands of caring for such a young puppy and making sure their needs are met. We also believe in force free training of our pets and our puppy has been through professional training classes (both puppy manners and teenage manners) so we are comfortable providing our knowledge and expertise to your pet! Our cats are very aloof but we separate them when there are new pets in the home. Safety of our pets and yours is very important to us! Our cats have access to their food, water, and litter upstairs and away from new puppy friends so all the animals have a stress free time while your puppy stays with us. We are calm and patient people. We have both grown up with animals and understand that accidents happen. We provide frequent potty breaks during the day, encourage breaks in play time, and plenty of mental stimulation. We love taking your puppy for a walk or throwing a ball around to get out some energy. My wife works a hybrid workweek and we have a 16 year old who loves animals. Your pet will be deeply cared for. We love giving pets and snuggles and loving on your puppy. I have baby gates and a portable crate on hand (for large pups!). I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pup for yours to play with. Our puppy sleeps with us at night and is allowed on our couches but if that is not ok for your puppy we are comfortable following your rules, including crating at night.
“Agi and Bodi had a great time with Aaron and his beautiful family. We learned that our pups like Disney movies while lying on the couch with two sweet girls. We felt very comfortable leaving our elderly pups with their family and they came home happy and were their goofy selves. We really enjoyed the wedding we attended knowing our pups were safe and happy. Thank you, Aaron and Misty!”
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.
“Anthony is flexible with scheduling and accommodates last minute day care request. He has decent sized fenced yard where dogs enjoy playing with each other and that surely tire them out 😊”
“Debbie is wonderful! Her and her husband were great with communication and sending pics of our pups everyday! They were also very well equipped with a fenced in yard among other dog supplies. Their dogs were very friendly and we felt good about leaving our fur babies in their care! Highly recommend!!”
About: Hi there! I'm Dana — Novi local, lifelong dog lover, and basically fluent in dog. With 9 years on Rover and a lifetime of dogs before that, I've built real experience across all sizes and temperaments. As a teenager I took on the daily responsibility of managing a severely diabetic dog — insulin schedules, diet, monitoring and all. That experience taught me that real pet care goes way beyond walks and cuddles. I've been looking for a way to make animal care an official part of my life ever since, and Rover has been the perfect fit. George (a havapoo with love to spare) and Frida (a chiweenie with very strong opinions) are my two little co-workers — they've made our home a very dog-friendly place, so your pup will feel right at home from the moment they arrive. My son Odie rounds out our crew, and yes, he is also a big fan of the dogs (all of them, not just ours). Whether you're a fellow Novi neighbor or just nearby, I'd love to meet your pup and show you what The Motown Pups team is all about. Send me a message and let's set up a meet and greet! Hope to see you soon! Dana, Odie, George, and Frida The Motown Pups team I do work full time with a hybrid schedule. Most of my working days are spent at home and on occasion head to office when needed. ~*BOARDING*~ We LOVE having boarding visitors come stay with us while their parents go on vacation! In the nice weather, we try to spend most of our day playing outside if we can. We give everyone breakfast and dinner around the same time every day, (unless you specify otherwise, we will onboard your baby into our family's daily routine). After dinner, we go for our nightly family walk. Your baby can be anywhere in our house, and is welcome to sleep in our bed if they are comfortable doing so. One of our dogs (Frida) is an elderly chihuahua, keeps to herself. Our youngest boy, George, absolutely loves playmates! A meet and greet is mandatory for boarding and daycare! Please be mindful of this when considering booking with us. *DAILY SCHEDULE/ROUTINE*~ During our meet and greet, please give me a concrete idea as to what your dog's daily schedule is (i.e. feeding times, exercise times, playtimes, medication times if necessary) and a window of time for your visit. While my job does allow a flexible schedule, I do sometimes get caught up at client's homes past my anticipated time to address pressing needs or in the rare event of an emergency. It's part of the nature of social work, I suppose. Having said that, a time window allows me the flexibility to see your pup within a reasonable time frame, and still get our quality time in together! ~*MEET AND GREET*~ I schedule a ‘meet and greet’ with every new client as precedent to make sure that your pupper can become a little familiar with me before the stay begins. It also helps me to get an idea of what your pup's home environment and daily routine look like. If you chose dog walking services, I usually try to go on a short 'trial’ walk with you and your dog to make sure I can become familiar with your normal route, and to be able to observe how you walk your dog.
“Arpitha did a great job taking care of our dog. She took him out for walking and had him play with her dog all day long. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day. I would book her again for sure.”
“Nicholas has been very flexible and accommodating with our weekly day care schedule. Our 6 month old puppy, bruce, also loves hanging out with AJ and the other dogs! Highly Recommend!”
“Brenda was great. My dog is anxious with new people and she made him feel right at home without minutes. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day that made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands.”
About: This is Tracey. I have been a sitter for my family and friends’ dogs for years. They like how their dogs are always happy when staying with me. And I enjoy taking care of them I work from home and should be able to take your dog out every 2 hours during the day and maybe more often after work hours. I would love to visit you and your pet before the boarding to understand what are the special needs and how I can make my services catering to your pets
“I can not thank Rohit enough for helping us out ! We had a house fire and needed young dog care right away-trying to find care during a holiday weekend!! He was our hero for Beaux and could not have gone back to work, at a hotel-without him❤️?”
“We had a very good first sitting with Lynn and will definitely rebook in the future. Lynn clearly cared a lot about Blue’s well being, comfort, and safety. I knew without question that he was well cared for with her.”
“Debra was great! Her space for dogs is wonderful and she was communicative about plans and what we needed to bring. I really appreciated her being willing to have our puppy, Milo over!”
About: I have experience pet sitting for 20 years. I am familiar with dogs that require medication and can also administer insulin to non aggressive dogs if needed I work from home full time and can provide daily walks multiple times a day based on your dogs needs, frequent potty breaks, belly rubs, treats, and endless love to your dog. I own a home with a fenced in yard. I have three children between the ages of 8-13. I have yellow lab that’s approximately 2 years old and a 5 year old female Keeshond.
“Need to write the rover review Ramya was amazing when watching Owen. She was great with communicating with me as well as sending pictures. I always get nervous leaving him with new people as he has separation anxiety, but Ramya was great. Owen was so happy to be over there that he barely wanted to leave at the end of the day. We will definitely be using her again in the future :)”
About: Currently not a pet owner and missing the company of a furry friend! My family included dogs and cats growing up and I have years of experience being a nanny to children and pets (Great Danes, doodles, dachshunds, golden retriever, etc). I work part time hours as a remote mental health therapist at home so my schedule is flexible. I love to go for walks during the day. I live in a condo that is in a safe and walkable neighborhood. I keep my home clean and comfortable and have a reliable car.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and bunnies since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to babysit, walk, and feed their pets. I work full time mostly from home. I only board pets when I’ll be home to care for them. I own my own home, have a dog run, and designated potty area on my deck as well. I provide affectionate and interactive care. My home is pet friendly and my kiddos are very respectful and loving with our visiting furry friends! We have a cat, dog and bunny that all do well with other animals.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Novi commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,323 sitters in Novi, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
