“Caili was absolutely everything and more. She took great care of our mini schnoodle and the house was in perfect condition when we got home from our trip. We will most definitely be contacting Caili again!”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so caring for them is basically second nature to me. I’m the kind of person who baby-talks every animal I see, stops to say hello to every pup on a walk, and ends up in the corner of a party hanging out with the host’s pet instead of socializing with the humans. Friends, family, and even complete strangers have told me for years that I should have gone into veterinary medicine because of how naturally I connect with animals. Instead, I work in a hospital laboratory helping people. It’s fulfilling, but there’s nothing quite like a healthy dose of puppy cuddles. This year, I lost both of my girls, and their absence has left a huge hole in my heart. My home is much quieter without them, and I have a whole lot of love with nowhere to go. That’s what brought me to Rover. I’d love nothing more than to spoil your pets with that extra love while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in safe, caring, and responsible hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels, including young dogs who need patience, playtime, and structure as they learn, as well as senior pets who may need a little extra attention and TLC. I’m a strong communicator and will keep you updated so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll play with them, talk to them (probably way too much), give them plenty of affection, respect their routines, and absolutely accept any and all slobbery kisses. Your pets deserve to feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away and I’m the girl for the job. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends! I work full-time on the night shift, which gives me quite a bit of flexibility during the day. I work four 10-hour shifts each week and have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays off, so weekends are especially easy for me to accommodate. That said, I’m more than happy to help during the week, too! Because I work nights, my sleep schedule is flexible, and I can adjust it around pet-care needs when I have advance notice. Depending on the day, I may sleep right after getting home in the morning, stay up for a while and sleep later in the afternoon, or even split my sleep into a couple of naps. Basically, as long as I know when you’ll need me, I can plan my schedule around your pets and make sure they get the attention and care they need. My goal is to make pet care fit seamlessly into your pet’s normal routine while giving you peace of mind that someone dependable is there for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m attentive to their routines, behavior, and individual needs, and I’ll always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual or have questions about their care. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. I currently live in an apartment, so I’m unable to board pets at my place right now. I’m completely comfortable caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay in the environment they know and feel most comfortable. I’ve also stayed at friends’ and family members’ homes for days or even weeks at a time to care for their pets, so I’m comfortable with house sitting when needed. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to let your pet out for a potty break, give them some exercise and playtime, feed them if needed, and spend some quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Above all, I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.
“Judy took amazing care of our elderly dog, Winston, while we were overseas for over a week—and that’s not something I take lightly. It was really hard to leave him, especially with his morning and evening meds and his full-on obsession with his ball. She was incredibly consistent and detail-oriented, which mattered a lot to me. I never had to wonder how things were going—she kept me updated with photos, quick responses to texts, and just the right amount of communication to put me at ease. She walked him, played with him (ball included, of course), and genuinely paid attention to what he needs. And when we got home, the house was exactly how we left it. Beyond all of that, she’s thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and even a little witty—which made the whole experience that much better. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was with him, and honestly, I feel really lucky we found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Winston again.”

“Jennifer was the best! She went above and beyond taking great care of my elderly dog Braylee (and my home) while I was out of the country for 11 days. She sent photos and updates which gave me peace of mind while traveling. She will definitely be my 1st choice to dog sit again in the future!!”

“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: I grew up with dogs and love going on walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, and making sure each dog gets plenty of attention and affection. I take the time to learn every dog’s personality and energy level so they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is for your pup to feel like they’re on their own little vacation too! I work full-time during the week, but I have availability after work and on weekends for pet care. I also have earlier afternoons on Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me extra flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s needs and communicate clearly to ensure dependable and loving care. I will always respect your home and follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to ensure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Communication is also very important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home that has been treated with the utmost respect.

About: Hello, I’m Rick, an experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry family members in the comfort of their own home. I specialize in in-home house sitting because pets are always happiest and least stressed when they get to stick to their normal routines in familiar surroundings. Whether you’re heading out of town for the weekend, going on an extended vacation, or need reliable care over the holidays, I offer complete piece of mind while you’re away. I have cared for puppies all the way up to seniors. I require a smoke free home for my own health and breathing comfort. I am best suited to care for small to medium dogs, or specific breeds I know well. I am available 7 days per week, in addition to holidays. I walk pets in the morning and afternoon. Bonus if you live in Livonia because I will also stop in on lunch. Sometimes my random vacation days coincide with pet sitting as well. Currently, I do not have any pets, but when I did, I make all the time in the world for them. I have always cared for others’ little family members in their homes. The animals are more comfortable that way, and not anxious. There are a few that I care for so often, they gave me my own key to make it more convenient. If that doesn’t show an example of trust….
“Nick was fantastic!!! He came through for us when we were in a last-minute pinch when another sitter cancelled on us unexpectedly. He was immediately available for a meet and greet, extremely well-prepared, and communicative throughout the entire stay. Our dog was the happiest camper and our home was spotless upon returning. We will definitely be reaching out to Nick again and we’re incredibly grateful for his care!”

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.
About: I have been an animal lover since a young age. I have a three year old puppy that loves other dogs. I have pet sat and boarded many dogs and they were nothing less than spoiled! I live on a lake so if your dog loves the water it will have the time of its life, if not, that’s okay too! I am very active so walks can happen frequently. If you are interested in boarding with me I require that your dog is house trained (exception for puppies because they are learning and I can work with that), good with dogs, and doesn’t mind kids nearby. I work Monday through Friday from 8:15am-3:30pm and I will be spending the before hours and after hours at your house with your fur baby! In my clients home I would care for their pets the exact way that they do and how they instruct me to do so! :)
“Rebekkah was wonderful! She took great care of our pets (and house!) while we were gone. She sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend Rebekkah for your pets care. :)”

“Michele sat with our two dogs and cat. She took great care of them. Took our high energy dog for a walk and made sure she received lots of ball playtime. She sent pictures to us of our animals during her stay and was a joy to work with.”

About: I love to make your day easier and the dogs day better. I provide personal care for your pets. My services are genuine and helpful. I work a morning job and night job, so during the day I have all of the time in the world to help you and your pets. I care for pets like they are my own. I want to provide the best service, keeping you and your dogs happy. I will keep your pet in your own home to make it feel at home always.
“Pavlina was wonderful with our 75 pound retriever and house sitting as well, thru a week long stay and thru a winter storm. We were relieved to see great pictures of Tock resting his head on Pavlina, a testament to her being a “dog person”.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets, attentive to senior pets who may need extra care and monitoring, and comfortable following detailed instructions, including administering medications when needed. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care! * Tuesday–Thursday: In-office in Novi from 8:00 AM–5:00 PM * Friday–Monday: Working remotely from home with a flexible schedule On my remote days, I’m able to provide more frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Even on my in-office days, I’m available before and after work and can accommodate morning, evening, and overnight care. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. My biggest goal is to reduce as much stress as possible while you’re away by keeping your pet’s routine consistent and providing a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I understand that every pet is different—some want constant attention and playtime, while others prefer quiet companionship and their own space. I take the time to learn their personality, habits, and needs so they can feel comfortable and cared for.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and I’ve been taking care of animals for friends and family for at least the last 3 years- I always love taking care of whoever I can! I can provide part-time and full-time weekend care, and am trained in pet CPR and safety! I’m capable of administering medication, and can be reliable in the time needed to feed, let outside, and do everything else that dogs need to be happy! I’ll also give consistent update messages to let you know what’s happening on a day-to-day basis! I’m currently only available on weekends when I have an available car, as I’m currently getting approved for an auto loan on a new car! But anytime then, I’d love to help out on the pet care side! I’m experienced in dealing with multiple different homes, and can do whatever is needed for pet care, such as crating dogs or scooping litter boxes!
“Mahina was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to care for my German shepherd for a week while I was away. She sent updates multiple times every day which gave me such peace of mind and my dog seemed to be truly happy with her 😍🐾 my dog had tummy problems one day and Mahina didn’t hesitate to make sure she was all right!! I could not recommend Mahina enough - 1000/10”

I definitely recommend her.

Rachel watched our two cats and one dog for two nights and we have only positive things to say about her. She is so thoughtful and communicative. She sent us a ton of photos and updates. She really goes above and beyond and cares deeply about animals. We will definitely be booking again!

Caili did an amazing job watching our Standard Poodle for almost two weeks during a recent trip. She stayed at our home and kept the house neat and clean during our absence. She sent daily updates confirming the dog was very happy while we were gone. No issues or concerns, highly recommend her!

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 Wixom 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 Wixom 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 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!

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.
