“Reneé was great with Lily for a short overnight stay! She took lots of cute photos of her. She even squeezed in a quick walk before our pickup time. Lily will be back!”
“Teresa is the best!! She treated my dog as if she were her own and took such good care of her. Multiple walks per day, plenty of love, and lots of photos and updates throughout my trip! So grateful to have found her!”
“Josiah was great and offered last-minute services when my original plans fell through for zazu. Their family took great care of my boy, sent regular pictures, and he came home happy and healthy!”
“This was our dog’s second stay with Ariana and her dog Yogi. I was very impressed with our dog’s care during her first stay and I was equally impressed during her second stay. Our dog is not easygoing, and at one point I worried whether we would ever be able to find a sitter who would make her feel comfortable. Ariana is that sitter. She provides a loving, relaxed, fun environment and is exceptionally good at communicating with owners. She sets a new standard.”
“I have absolutely no words capable to leave a fair review to Natiely. If I say she was amazing it will sound too weak given how perfect her care for Milli was. She truly goes above and beyond to care for your dog, pay attention to details, keeps you updated, understands your best friend's needs and best of all, truly gives love to your furry one. Milli came back happier than when I dropped her, healthier and looking forward to stay again. Best care Milli ever had by far!”
“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.”
“Kayden did a great job taking care of our two large dogs during our 3 week trip. Communication was excellent, including regular updates with pictures. I was a little concerned about the very small yard, but the kiddos got frequent walks so I don't think it was a problem. We'll be happy to use Kayden's services again on our next trip.”
“Mina did a great job. The meet and greet went well and she does plenty of pictures and videos multiple times a day. Our dog seemed to enjoy his time there as well! Would highly recommend.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience with Abby. She took great care of our dog and gave us updates and photos during his stay at her house. Prior to booking we had a meet and greet with her and our dog which was helpful to meet ahead of time. You can tell Abby loves dogs and treats them like her own. I would definitely recommend her! She did a great job! Thanks again Abby!”
“Caroline provided exceptional care for our dog, Zoey, who suffers from separation anxiety. Zoey and Caroline formed a strong bond, and Zoey felt a sense of belonging and comfort in her presence. Caroline’s nurturing and attentive care ensured that Zoey received the love and security she craved. We highly recommend Caroline.”
“Andrew was great! He is quick to respond to questions and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. We had some travel glitches and Andrew was incredibly flexible to help. Our pup loved his yard and we will be sure to book 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!”
“Katie kept us up to date on how Pumpkin was doing. Dog was relaxed and happy upon her return home and in all the pictures sent. Communication was great. We have another booking later this summer.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ann Arbor
Lauren, Tyler, and their two kids watched Dottie for a week. This being my first time leaving Dottie with people that aren’t family, I was pretty nervous. Lauren and Tyler sent pictures and videos daily to ease my mind and she had a great time. During her stay, Dottie had an emergency and Lauren and Tyler took her to the vet, caring for her like she was their own. I was and am exceedingly grateful.
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.
Teresa is the BEST dogsitter I have ever had. My dog has never seemed happier with a dogsitter than she does with Teresa. She is attentive, has plenty of toys to spoil your pup, and is very timely in her communications. 100% recommend for any owner that wants to give their pup a little vacation when they are away.
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.
Deunna took excellent care of our sweet elderly golden retriever. Our dog is used to being in a family home and needed to be given medicine and treated gently due to arthritis and skin issues. She took the time to understand the special care that our dog needed. I would definitely bring our dog back to Deunna's house.
I have absolutely no words capable to leave a fair review to Natiely. If I say she was amazing it will sound too weak given how perfect her care for Milli was. She truly goes above and beyond to care for your dog, pay attention to details, keeps you updated, understands your best friend's needs and best of all, truly gives love to your furry one. Milli came back happier than when I dropped her, healthier and looking forward to stay again. Best care Milli ever had by far!
This was our first time using Rover for our 13 year-old Beagle mix, Vince. I went away for five days, so I was a little nervous about how Vince would do. Aylin too excellent care of him and sent photos almost everyday so I could see how Vince was settling in. She was very responsive and caring about Vince's little quirks and needs. She was also flexible when my homebound flight arrived early and I asked to change the pre-arranged pick-up time at the last minute All in all, this was a five-star experience and I would confidently leave Vince with Aylin again--in fact, I plan to.
My dogs stayed with Joseph over the holiday weekend. We got lots of updates during their stay. My one dog has a hard time with fireworks. He made sure she was comfortable and got all the loves and snuggles. My dogs were well loved and cared for during their stay. I would recommend Joseph and would have him watch our dogs again. 😊

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Ann Arbor sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ann Arbor landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ann Arbor home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
