“Katie and Kristen were so attentive to Ziggy. They sent alot of pictures, and we could tell Ziggy was getting such great care. Ziggy is normally so happy to come home, but this time we think she kinda missed being at their house!!! Thank you Katie and Kristen!”
“Our puppy Eleanor had a great time with Kayden! It's clear that Kayden loves and understands dogs. Lastly, Kayden was also extremely helpful and understanding, as we were rather forgetful with some items.”
“Tanu was fantastic with our dog Daisy! She sent updates every day and kept Daisy comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Tanu took Daisy on walks every day and let us know how she was doing with food and water and the weather. We were so impressed and happy that Tanu was able to put our minds at ease and care for our pup in the same way we would. Great experience, we would love to work with Tanu again!”
“Amy did great with Figs. she paid attention to how he reacted with dongdong, and made good modifications. she fed him well and did great with playing and sending cool pics of figgy lounging! love it!”
“David was great with watching my dog, Pauly! Pauly would say so too if he could—haha. He was super responsive and flexible with my busy schedule. He sent lots of pics and updates, which I was very appreciative of. Would definitely recommend!”
“Catherine is amazing! She let us drop him off really early and pick him up really late in order to make flights. She sent pictures daily and even took a first thanksgiving photo for him. We forgot some of his stuff at home but she had everything we would have needed. Would 10/10 book again!!”
“Elizabeth was such a wonderful host for our dog! They went on frequent walks and I received plenty of photo updates. Our booking was very last minute after our original plan for care fell through, and she was so flexible working with us. Highly recommend!”
“Laura & Manuel were great! We were out of the country for 10 days and they were sure to send pictures every few days to let us know our Moose was settled in and going great at his "vacation family" home. They had us do a meet and greet prior to his stay and ensured he would be a good fit in their home. If we ever need somewhere to send Moose for a night away or another vacation, they will be our number one pick!”
“Here’s a polished, upbeat review you can use: Daniel was fantastic with our little dog, Chewie! From the moment we met him, we felt confident that Chewie would be in great hands. We really appreciated that he only cares for one guest dog at a time, in addition to his own two small dogs. It created a calm, comfortable environment and gave Chewie plenty of individual attention. Daniel kept us updated throughout Chewie’s stay with frequent photos and excellent communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Chewie was happy, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Daniel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Anne took amazing care of my dog, Toski! She sent frequent updates with pictures and made sure Toski was entertained and well-loved. Will definitely be booking her services again!”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for Erin and her husband! I had a booking fall through and requested my dog to be boarded on super late notice. They were so kind and sweet with my boy and sent many much-appreciated photos. Would definitely recommend them!”
“Makena was great! We left our two very opposite dogs with her (10 month old active puppy and 12 year old) and both came back very happy. She was accommodating with drop offs and was always quick to respond. Would 100% have her watch our dogs again.”
“Katie and Dave did a fantastic job with Sully! Communication was through and I received lots of photos of him on his adventures. I would recommend and trust them, and I’ll certainly be in touch again when out of town. 😊”
“Kori was incredible! She took care of our 9 month old lab puppy for 9 days while we were out of the country with so much love and care. She knows dogs so well and our pup was so happy when she returned. Would absolutely rebook with Kori!”
“Zachary was great for the whole experience! It was the first time boarding our new dog, and Zachary came out to meet us and Pepper, answered questions we had, and Pepper seems like he had a great time! Zachary sent pics during our trip, and was fast and easy to communicate with, both leading up to the boarding dates and while we were away. Highly recommend!”

Katie and Kristen made my anxious mini doodle right at home. They sent frequent updates and photos, and when my dog had a health concern, they kept me informed and collaborated with me to sort out next steps, even late at night. The next morning they quickly assured me that he was doing well. I’d highly recommend them and trust them with my pet’s care any time!
Amy was amazing! She watched my 13 year old active senior dog and took great care of him! From daily updates and photos, to handling his senior needs of pills, toothpaste, and water additives, to handling his issues with other large dogs, to taking him on long walks, Amy did it all! My pup was so pooped out from having a great time that he went to bed early when I got home. I would absolutely trust any to watch my pup again!
Natalie was fabulous. I hesitate to leave such a good review, because I want to make sure she can take care of our dog next time we are in need. She is obviously very caring and loving. She was very attentive to our dogs needs, and wanted to be sure she understood his schedule ahead of time. Great communication and send frequentupdates while we were away.
Makenna did a wonderful job watching our dog JJ over the weekend. She sent me photos and kept me informed with how he was doing. Jj can be a bit anxious and she helped him feel so safe, he even ate a meal the first day (he doesn’t always do that). Jj got to go on a lot of walks with her too. I highly recommend Makenna and I would definitely use her services again when we are in the AA area. 5 stars
Elka never boarded with a family before... and she clearly LOVED Jenn and the family! I couldn't have found anyone that was better for her to be with... the boys played with her, she hung out with the family - and seemed to be so much at home. When I brought her home yesterday - she started to go into different rooms looking for something.. I really think she was looking for the boys to play with. The daily pictures with Elka hanging with and playing with the family gave so much peace of mind. I certainly recommend them! Roz
Lyvia did such an amazing job boarding our dog, Gracie, while we were on our vacation! She was communicative, responsible, and loving. Gracie felt like she had a vacation too. I’m so thrilled to have found a trusted dog sitter nearby, and Gracie already can’t wait to stay with Lyvia again!
I cannot recommend Shannon highly enough. My rescue dog is usually reluctant to play with other dogs, but Shannon knows how to introduce animals and make sure they are safe and secure. She’s extremely knowledgable about animal behavior and training— I’ve had dogs for 40 years and had several dog classes, but I learned much that I didn’t know. Also, my dog has a restricted diet and meds and Shannon was very conscientious. You can’t go wrong with boarding your dog with her.
Melissa was a great sitter for our dog Dusty. She sent pictures and kept us updated. She was flexible when we ended up being later than expected for pick-up. I'm sure Dusty had a great time and we felt comfortable leaving her in good hands. I would definitely call on her services again if and when the time comes.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Ann Arbor can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ann Arbor home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ann Arbor.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ann Arbor sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
