About: I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies and seniors! Over the years, I’ve cared for pets belonging to family, friends, neighbors, and my own private clients, as well as working professionally with a pet-sitting company. Through these experiences, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs with all kinds of personalities, routines, and individual needs. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and understand that they may need extra patience, gentleness, and attention. Whether that means taking a slower walk, enjoying some fresh air in a stroller, administering medication, or simply keeping them company, I’m always happy to accommodate their needs. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pup. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Your fur babies will always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own!!! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! Along with pet sitting, I also babysit part-time, which allows me to maintain a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends. As a dog mom myself, I'm already used to planning my days around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their individual personalities and routines. I do my best to accommodate each pet's needs and maintain their normal routine, so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while their family is away. I always make sure I have the time and availability to give every pet the attention and care they deserve! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, and I want you to feel confident knowing they're in loving hands. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment where they feel like part of the family. Although I don't have a fenced-in yard, I make up for it with multiple walks throughout the day, plenty of fresh air, playtime, and lots of love and attention! Dogs are always kept on a leash when outside to ensure their safety. I also have a dog of my own, Theo, who can stay with my family during stays if needed. When caring for pet in their own homes, I always respect their space and do my best to maintain their usual routines. Whether that's following specific feeding instructions, taking their favorite walking route, or simply give them a little extra reassurance, I want them to feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I also love sending pictures and updates throughout our time together! I know how reassuring it is to see that your pet is happy, safe, and being well care for while you're away. My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and kindness I would want for my own!

Northville, MI, 48167

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a small family farm, where pets were always part of the family. My parents frequently adopted and fostered both cats and dogs, so I’ve spent years caring for all kinds of personalities and breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to Basset Hounds and high-energy Huskies. Although I can’t currently have pets of my own, caring for other people’s animals has become my favorite way to stay connected to what I love most. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m available in the morning and evenings, and am able to leave work during breaks to do a quick check in on pets! Weekends are completely open. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to work with families to make sure their pets get the attention and care they need! Although I grew up with dogs on the couch and in bed I will always respect the owner’s house rules. Multiple walks a day, respecting scheduled feeding times, and most of all giving all of my attention to your furry friends!

About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.

About: I have had pets of all types for my whole life. Currently, I have 6 cats, and my beloved French bulldog passed away earlier this year. I love dogs and truly think they are magnificent and pure beings, who deserve our love, time and patience. I am more than happy to come walk, play, snuggle, or feed your four legged friends and look forward to meeting you! I am currently only working part time, so I have quite a bit of free time during my week to come visit with your pets. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, and keep their routine as close to the usual as possible. I am happy to follow any directions or special requests!

About: I enjoy spending time getting to know each dogs personality as they are all different. I feel it is very important to get dogs out into the fresh air for some play time. I walked 3 dogs for my neighbors for 5 years, and watched their dogs at their homes while they were away on vacation. I work part with flexible hours. I can also work from home. We have a rescue dog that comes to our office that I enjoy. I like learning as much as I can about a pets personality and temperament prior to walking and watching them. Each dog is unique and requires my understanding of them.

About: I’m a ceramic artist, art teacher, and passionate animal lover. I have two wonderful dogs, Chispa and Puggy, who love meeting new furry friends. With years of experience caring for my own pets, I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands. Whether it’s a walk, a playdate, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll treat your pets like part of the family! Pets always come first in my home. I love taking my dogs on hikes, walks, and puppy playdates. I live in a dog friendly complex with a park and have a small, private fenced yard and terrace, perfect for sunbathing pups! If your dog needs a bath, I’m happy to give them a scrub in the tub. I’m also known for making homemade dog treats. Let me spoil your dog with lots of love and care! I work from home full time, so your dog will receive constant attention and care throughout their stay. We only board small to medium sized dogs (under 40 pounds), but I’m happy to discuss any special exceptions. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities!

I then am free most days after that. I am free many weekends all day. I have a fenced in yard, quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for easy walking, and a ranch with one floor where the basement stairs can be blocked off.

“Julia was wonderful to work with and I will definitely book with her again. She followed our instructions for animal care and provided photos and updates at each visit. All communication was prompt and professional. Our animals were happy and safe on our return. Something necessary unexpectedly broke on her first day and she was still able to find a way to do what needed to be done despite the challenge -and she let me know. She is an incredibly kind person. I felt like I was leaving a trusted friend to care for my animals and home, which I deeply appreciate as this was the first time we’ve hired this type of care. I strongly recommend her!”

We had such a great experience with Kelsey watching our dogs while we were away for our wedding. She was so trustworthy, caring, and dependable, which gave us so much peace of mind during such a busy and important weekend. She took great care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away, which we really appreciated. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands, and we would absolutely trust her to watch them again. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again🤍

Arden is very patient with our pups - one is grumpy and she’s handled him well, making him more comfortable with each visit; the other can be too excitable but Arden’s been able to keep her in check, too! She communicates exceedingly well and takes detailed notes so she’s best able to care for the pups. So happy we’ve found her!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Wixom

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wixom is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. On Rover, 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 4,279 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wixom. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 Wixom 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!

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 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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Wixom with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
