“Very warm and caring sitter. She messaged me with picture, video's and text updates throughout her time with him. That made my family feel even more comfortable with leaving our Leo. Highly recommend!”
“Latasha was fantastic snd caring. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and was very communicative about how my sweet pup was doing. I would def trust my pup with her again!”
“Kadi was soo sweet and accommodating! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a good and loving pet sitter! I will ask her to watch my dog Millie again in the future!! 😍😇🥰”
“I am very thankful for Tanuja for taking my Lucy on a last minute request to board. She was so flexible and very accomodating and it was a very pleasant dealing with her. On the day of boarding she will give constant updates, she will send plenty of pictures (great pics of Lucy together with their cute dog Mochi). Her husband Kumar helps her out with the doggies and they treat your dog like their own. They are not only great dog sitters but also really nice persons. I will definitely have them take care of my Lucy if the need arises . I would highly recommend Tanuja and Kumar (plus Mochi) to take care of your fur baby.”
“Kayla kept our dog Dior while I took my daughter to school. The ease of drop off and pickup made a somewhat stressful time of my life, so much more easier. She communicated with us the entire 4 days. Even when a snag came and I needed Dior to stay a tad bit longer, she was totally onboard and made it happen. I also want to thank her daughter for being attentive to Diors needs as well. While my daughter is away at school, I will DEFINITELY reach out to them for additional services. I would recommend you giving this lovely family a shot!!!! Again, I appreciate you all!!!”
“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“Bee was super happy to see me when I picked her up but not “oh my god get me out of here “. Audrey is her new buddy and next time we travel they’ll get another hang. ❤️”
“We had a last minute trip come up, Ling was able to accommodate and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. She was so warm and welcoming and we immediately felt good leaving her. It was so nice to know she had people and activity around all day while we was away. I highly recommend Megan and will definitely use her services again.”
“Steven was great, very responsive and sent daily updates. I was happy to see my dog getting along with all the other dogs with no issues. My plane was delayed and Steven was very understanding. My dog had a great time, because she was whining when she got in the car. I will most definitely use him again. Thanks Steven”
“Luna had a wonderful time at Vicki’s house! She went on walks, enjoyed her time with their dog and felt completely comfortable there! We were also sent lots of pictures and updates. We would definitely have Luna stay there again!”
“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting the care of our 10 month old puppy, Scooby, to Vinata and her family, while we were on vacation. From the moment we met Vinata and her family, it was clear that Scooby would be in excellent hands. They demonstrated a deep understanding of caring for both younger and older dogs, as well as an evident love for all dogs, which put us at ease immediately. During our time away, Vinata provided regular updates, including photos and videos of Scooby enjoying playtime and relaxation with another dog that was also under her care at the time. This constant communication allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation without worrying about Scooby’s well-being. When we returned, Scooby was happy, healthy, and well taken care of. We wholeheartedly recommend Vinata and her family to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Needless to say, we will definitely be seeking their services again in the future. Thank you, Vinata, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family member!”
“Whitley was amazing!! Otis is an active guy and there were no shortage of action packed adventures. Otis and Whitley's dog Ollie had a fun and became best buddies. Whitely shared updates 2 times daily and I had complete peace of mind! I highly recommend her! We will be back for sure!!”
“Once again he was amazing! Cobra was very happy and excited to see him again! He will definitely continue being my sitter! He treated him like a part of his on family! 🥰”
“Anirudh did a wonderful job taking care of our Luna! He was very caring, responsible, and attentive to her needs. We felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in good hands while we were away. He kept us updated and treated Luna with so much love and care. We truly appreciate everything he did and would definitely recommend Anirudh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We would happily have him take care of Luna again! 🐾❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
This is the first time we availed Anirudh Sai for our pet. Our pet settled well with them and We also felt very comfortable after our initial visit with them. The bonding was mutual between them & our pet. He shared pictures and videos and updated us about his stay. We would recommend them and will be using their services in near future.
I cannot recommend Irv highly enough! From the very beginning, his organized nature and flexibility made the entire booking and drop-off process a breeze. He made sure to keep us fully updated before the stay even began, which gave us so much peace of mind right out of the gate. During the stay, Irv’s attention to detail truly shined. He sent consistent, thorough updates and photos, showing exactly how well he was taking care of Daisy. It was clear that she was in fantastic hands, getting plenty of love, and having a great time. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative sitter, Irv is your guy. We would absolutely book with him again!
"I am so glad I found her to watch Simba! She provided amazing in-home care, took him out for great walks, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and professional. I felt so relieved knowing Simba was safe and happy in his own home. I will definitely be booking her again!"
Heidi was my first sitter using Rover and made it a super easy and reassuring experience for both me and Reese! She was so great at sending photos, letting me know how she was doing with fun updates, and made sure that Reese was enjoying herself all weekend. Winston is also a great dog-host and so sweet to help host!

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.
94% of Birmingham 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 Birmingham 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 Birmingham 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 Birmingham.
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 Birmingham 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.
