“Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)”

“This an amazing family. My dog was so well cared for and loved. They sent me many pictures of what she was doing as it was so difficult to not have her with me. They deserve 10 stars!!!!!”

“Ariana is the only person outside of my own mom who I can leave my Viva with and drive away without the slightest worry- knowing that she will be happy, loved, and so well taken care of. This was our second stay with Ariana and her sweet pup Yogi and I always love getting picture updates throughout the day of lots of play time and cuddles. Viva had some tummy problems during the stay and Ariana went above and beyond to take phenomenal care of her and calm my anxiety while I was across the country. We are so lucky to know 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!”

“Thank you Paula for taking care of Lily for a second weekend! It was nice to see Lily so excited to see you when we dropped her off the second time. It gave us confidence we left her in good hands.”

“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!”

“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.”

“We couldn’t have found a better person to leave our 1 yr. Old Goldendoodle with during our first time away from him for 9 days. Caroline always sent daily videos several times a day. She interacts with the dogs in her care and you can see how well they are taken care of by her. She has the perfect set up in her home and yard. She and her husband make a great team. We missed our pup so much and it was nice to have reassurance and see for ourselves how he was doing good in the videos. He was having so much fun we were equally sad and happy when we picked him up. He will definitely be back. We can’t thank Caroline enough for her obvious love and care she has for canines. ❤️”

“Teresa took great care of our doggos and made every effort to keep them comfortable and happy. She is also really warm and welcoming and our dogs felt right at home. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Tanu was an amazing dog sitter for our dog Kevin. She was so attentive, sent very frequent updates and pictures, and clearly is a big dog lover. We will without a doubt, be asking her to dog sit our dog in the future!”

“Mina looked after pookie so nicely it shows on his face in the videos and pictures. lot of walks playtimes and cuddles. I am beyond satisfied and would definitely recommend.”

“Thank you Karen for taking such great care of Rufus. He seemed like he had a great vacation weekend with you and we really do appreciate it! We hope Rufus was able to entertain you as well! We would be happy to leave him with you again in the future, should the need arise.”

“Monica and Razvan were great host and we will definitely use them again if they are available! They sent us pictures of Ruby every day and kept us updated throughout the stay. We felt comfortable that they had a fenced in yard for play time and a dedicated space for Ruby when it was nap time.”

“Andrew was fantastic with our two dogs over the holiday. Making sure they had their walks and constant attention gave us so much peace of mind! So thankful for all the love our pups got!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ann Arbor
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.

Melissa was wonderful with our dog and took great care of him while we were away traveling. She kept us updated, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was happy and well cared for. He also loved having a doggie playmate during his stay, which made the experience even better. We came home to a happy pup and would definitely trust Melissa to watch him again!

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. 😊

Teresa is fantastic! She takes wonderful care of my dog, Winston, and I always know he's in great hands. She's caring, reliable, and truly loves animals. Winston is always happy and well cared for when he's with her. I highly recommend Teresa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

So glad to have found Katie and Dave! They will definitely be our go-to sitters going forward. Katie asked all the right questions - it is evident that she wants to get to know the pups to be able to give them the best care possible. I appreciated the daily updates/pictures and could tell the dogs were comfortable and happy during their stay. I also appreciated that the home/property was very clean and in a good area for walks! Highly recommend.

We love Marcin! This was our 2nd booking with him and Dexter became excited to see him again. Our dog is typically anxious and has a medicine routine that Marcin has accommodated better than most. He communicates well on longer trips and sends really great pictures.

Ariana was very responsive during our trip planning, and was prepared for us when we arrived. She went over and beyond sending photos and checking in while we were away, and responding promptly when I had questions. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone we didn't know well, and it made a difference to work with someone who had strong communication, and who acted like they genuinely cared for our dog, who is a member of our family.

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.
