“Otis had the BEST time with Jennifer and her family. Not only did he have constant fun (running in the grass, playing frisbee, and playing with Donald), snuggles, and love, but he also dipped his toes in the water. Before that, Otis would evade water! Jennifer was so kind and extremely communicative throughout and took some awesome photos of Otis. She treated Otis with the utmost care and love (just like he was her own pup)! Highly recommend to book with Jennifer! Otis was at a fun and wellness retreat essentially for the week!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Maple came back from his stay with Karen looking happy and calm, and we really appreciated her brushing him and spending time with him outside! We'd happily book with Karen again.”
“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.”
“Oscar and Shannon were fantastic with accommodating our dogs on short notice. They kept us updated with tons of pics. It seems like the dogs had a great time and made lots of friends!”
“Wiley boarded for 5 days, had a great time. Being with other dogs was great. We’re very happy with his care and his stay. Definitely recommend and definitely will book again.”
“Yitong was an excellent caregiver for our Berner. He communicated well, sent us pictures, and handled walking our big and sometimes jumpy dog multiple times per day. We wouldn’t hesitate rebooking. Highly recommend!”
“We have a very needy senior dog and Heather did a great job with him. He can be high maintenance but she was very kind and patient and sent updates and pictures and said he was welcome back. We were very happy to have found her.”
“Lauren and Cris took excellent care of Bug. They sent regular updates, lots of cute pictures, and even sent him home with a treat and a new toy. I'd definitely recommend them!”
About: I have taken care of my family’s and friends dogs ever since I was a kid, with mainly walking, watching, and taking for potty breaks when necessary I’m currently a full time student with more classes being online so I have pretty flexible schedule when it comes to working around what you need I can easily crate the dogs, walk them, leash them when outside, and check sounding areas and fences for holes and any other potential problems
“We will definitely continue to trust Daniel to take care of Summer in the future. It truly felt like Summer was surrounded by endless love and care. Daniel sent us photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could clearly see how happy and comfortable he was there. We believe Summer will miss Daniel and all of their furry friends very much. We are truly grateful and highly recommend Daniel”
“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.”
“Dylan went above and beyond in his care for Butters. He sent photos everyday and provided updates which was great to see in our long vacation. No issues at all and our dog had a wonderful time playing in the fenced in backyard. Will 100% be using Dylan again in the future for dog sitting!”
“Anne c was an amazing dog sitter she easily accommodated when are plans did not go as requested. She was sweet kind and so nice to doggy pal.would recommend to any dog sitter she is wonderful !”
“Jennifer and her family were such a perfect fit for us! Our dog absolutely loved the time she spent with them. They showered her with love, gave her plenty of exercise, sent us many adorable photos and just took great care of her. I know our dog has been missing Jennifer and her kiddos since she’s home.”
“Wonderful experience! Jane took care of our dog while we went on a nearly 2 week vacation. She was very communicative and Mac had so much fun. 10/10! I hope to be able to bring Mac again!”

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.

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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
