About: My name is Bryn. I just graduated from Bowling Green State University. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and being outside. I enjoy swimming and playing all kinds of games! I work for the Detroit Pistons as well. While I love all dogs, when I’m in older my dream dog is an Rottweiler. I have been walking the same dog for around 2 years and i also have experience in pet sitting. I have many regulars that I pet sit for long-term! I love all pets and would love to help pet parents who are busy. I also babysit in my free time. I hope to be able to help you while saving some money for college! I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. I can spend the night or do drop ins! I can come straight from work as well. My mom is allergic to dogs and I’m obsessed with dogs so I love anytime I get with dogs:) My neighbor has a dog that comes over to our house all the time and she loves it. I also have stayed at others houses.

About: As a lifelong cat lover and experienced pet owner, I understand the unique needs and personalities of our feline friends. Having grown up with two cats and currently caring for my own, I bring years of hands-on experience to ensure your cat feels safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. My services include: • Feeding, fresh water, and cleaning litter boxes • Playtime and cuddles to keep your cat happy and engaged • Daily updates with photos and notes for your peace of mind • Light house sitting tasks like bringing in the mail or watering plants Whether you’re heading out for a weekend or an extended trip, I’m dedicated to providing your cat and home with the care and attention they deserve. Let me help you travel worry-free! As someone with a consistent 8 AM to 4 PM work schedule, I can easily fit cat-sitting visits into my day. I’m available for morning visits before work to feed, play, and check on your cat, as well as evening visits to provide additional care and attention. If you book house sitting, I’ll ensure your cat has companionship and care throughout the night and morning, giving them a sense of routine and comfort. My schedule allows me to balance my responsibilities while prioritizing your cat’s needs. I treat every cat I care for as if they were my own, providing individualized attention tailored to their personality and needs. With my own kitten, who is incredibly energetic and full of curiosity, I’ve learned the importance of interactive play, mental stimulation, and establishing a comforting routine. When caring for your cat, I’ll: • Provide fresh food and water to keep them healthy and happy. • Clean and maintain the litter box for a tidy and stress-free environment. • Engage in playtime with toys and games to keep active cats entertained. • Offer cuddles or quiet companionship for more relaxed or shy cats. • Monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they’re thriving. I understand that every cat is unique, whether they’re bursting with energy like my kitten or prefer a calm and cozy environment. My goal is to keep your cat comfortable, content, and cared for while you’re away.

“We love Cammi, she did a great job watching our two dogs and bird for a long weekend. It was our first time using Rover so we were nervous and Cammi kept us updated on how they were doing. Our dogs "forgot" their training and house rules when there is a new person around but Cammi handled everything like a pro. We so appreciate Cammi and would definitely recommend using her to care for your furry friends.”

“When I hired Katie it was to watch my two cats, Ying and Yang. Katie met with me twice then my Yang passed away. Katie understood how significant this was to me and my other fur baby. She came over again to see Ying before I left. Katie got my anxiety about now leaving Ying without his brother for the first time. She went above and beyond to comfort both of us. I definitely recommend her.”

About: My pet care journey all started a few years ago when my grandparents got two very young puppies at the same time. I helped care for them whilst my grandparents were away. Through my experience, I realized that emotional care needs are just as important as physical care needs for dogs. A main focus of mine is establishing an emotional connection with my clients, gaining their trust, therefore elevating their care experience. Throughout the years, I was also my aunt’s senior dog Coco’s primary caregiver when she traveled for work. She has some mobility issues in which I assisted her with, as well as administering her medication. I also have a senior dog of my own that I’ve had since youth, so I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am currently working a full time 9-5. My place of work is closed on Sundays, as well as short days on Saturdays, so my primary availability is on weekends. But I am also open to evening week day care or walks for your pets! My primary focus is on your pet, and your pet only. I am very respectful of other’s spaces, and keeping a safe environment just as safe as it was when I entered it.

About: Hello! My name is Jazlyn and I am an avid dog lover. I grew up around dogs and have always cared for them deeply. I graduated from MSU in 2022 ( go green!) and I am set to attend SIU PA program May 2024. In the past I have helped my family train dogs and keep them healthy. I am currently a MSU PA student in my last semester . Since I am finishing up the program I have more free time on weekends and after my clinical rotations . I love to walk outside in the summer and always take my family dogs on long walks back home. As a dog owner myself, I do my best to treat all furry friends the same, with lots of love and kindness! I know how important your dog is to you, and want to live up to all expectations.

About: Hi, im Winnie! I’m so excited to meet your furry family members. I’ve been a devoted dog and cat lover my entire life and truly believe our pets deserve all the love, kindness, patience, and respect we can give them. I’ve personally cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies through adulthood, and I’ve also pet sat for friends and clients, treating every pet like they’re one of my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care at home. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run and play, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also a Registered Occupational Therapist and a proud University of Michigan graduate—Go Blue! My healthcare background has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each individual’s unique needs. I can’t wait to get to know you and your pet, and I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part-time, with Fri-Sun weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, whether that’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, or overnight stays. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals has always been a rewarding part of my life, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Your pet will be staying in a safe, loving, and spacious home with plenty of room to relax and play. Our home has wood floors throughout and a private room available if your pet would ever need a quiet space to decompress or feel more comfortable. Outside, we have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play. We also live in a quiet, safe, and walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Your pet will be welcomed by a home full of caring adults who genuinely love animals.

About: Hello! I’m Allison, and I have an overwhelming love for animals! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have plenty of experience dog-sitting for friends and family, caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from little Beagles to big German Shepherds. In addition to my personal experience, I have professional experience working in animal shelters, where I helped provide daily meals, maintain clean living spaces, and administer medication. I have experience with a wide range of canine temperaments, from more reactive or aggressive dogs who need extra patience and understanding to calm, senior dogs who benefit from a gentler approach and extra TLC. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I always strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, so my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands! I’ll treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own. I’m currently a full-time student and am looking for a flexible side job to help pay for college. Since I’m not currently working, I have flexibility in my schedule to dedicate time and attention to your furry friends. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to work with you to accommodate your pet’s individual needs and routine. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you’d like to know more about me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I’m currently a full-time student, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. Since I’m not currently working, I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and overnight care. I prioritize making sure every pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while sticking to their usual routines as closely as possible. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and their owner’s schedule! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I treat every home with respect and care for each pet as if they were my own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any special routines or behavioral needs. I have experience with dogs of all temperaments, from energetic and reactive dogs to calm senior dogs, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level. I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment, plenty of attention, and regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family member is in good hands!

FAQs for House Sitting - Novi

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Novi on Rover is $89 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $111 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 2,505 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Novi. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Novi walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Novi maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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!

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters 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 sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Novi. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
