“We had great experience with Kadi. She is very loving and caring person. Our dog Milo enjoyed at her place and was very happy as he got friends there to play with ( Kadi’s 2 dogs) . She kept sending updates and pics. She followed all the instructions perfectly. We love her.”
“Kayla is trustworthy and super loving with my Bella. Bella comes home happy and even more spoiled. Kayla is accommodating and cautious about your pet while in her care. Recommend her a 1000%.”
“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!!”
“Brittnie was great. She communicates all the time and sent plenty of pictures with the updates. I could not have been happier with her service and I highly recommend her.”
“Vicki and William were fantastic! I knew Rosie was in loving caring hands while we were away. Communication was top notch. Highly recommend. Thanks, Vicki and William.”
“Happy to have Kelly as our new dog sitter. She took really good care of our three little ones and even the shy one got used to her. We got updates and the dogs looked great the day picked them up! I think they got pampered all days long :-) Thanks a lot Kelly. We will come back to you.”
“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! 🥰”
“Dawn is amazing!!!!! She was able to get my puppy in last minute and keep her longer then we initially planned for Send messages every day And our puppy came home better than when we dropped her off. Learned new tricks and is better with her name I honestly can’t recommend someone more . Thank you so much Dawn”
“Our dog had a great time at Queeny’s house. She periodically sent us pictures and responded promptly. Our dog enjoyed playing in her fenced in yard. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Carolina was absolutely amazing with Dixie. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in caring and capable hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and gave so much love and attention to my Dixie —it was clear she genuinely care about dogs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a tidy space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”
“Emily did a great job caring for my pup while I was on spring break vacation. Her communication was timely, friendly, and clear. She provided complete information on what to expect while my pup was in her care- there was no second guessing and everything she said she followed through on. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.”
“Making the choice to book Vinata, and her family to care for my Cavapoo, Kali, while I was away for a week allowed me to feel at complete peace, and enjoy myself while on vacation, knowing that my baby was being cared for, loved, and "puppy stimulated." Kali, my puppy, just turned one-year-old this year, and I was very anxious, and nervous about taking a trip, and leaving her with a stranger, because I have spent almost every day with her since she became a part of my family. Being a virtual teacher allowed me the chance to get a puppy, which wouldn't have been a possibility if I had to drive into school; however, I had spent every day with her, and even though she is crate-trained, she does have some attachment issues, and is anxious when she is not right next to me. While I was looking for a care-giver for Kali, I mentioned it during a session with my Chiropractor, and she said, "YOU MUST USE VINATA!" and told me some stories about when she's used Vinata, and her family in the past. She was so excited, and genuine as she spoke, and I know how much she loves, and protects her dog (who is also a Cavapoo), and also, she wouldn't let me leave her office until she wrote out Vinata's contact information on a sticky-note for me. LOL! This is how I connected with Vinata, not through Rover. In fact, I was delighted that Vinata was on Rover, because I always use Rover to find care for my pets (two kitties, and now the puppy). Kali had THE BEST TIME! Vinata, her family and I were on a group text, set up by Vinata, so there were three caretakers keeping me posted, sending pictures, videos, and updates throughout the days I was gone, unsolicited. I LOVED THIS! It melted my heart, and kept me peaceful so that I didn't have to worry, and really have time to let go while on vacation. I only texted back when I was moved to, but Vinata said that I need not respond, unless I wanted to. She was always on the other end if I needed her. I also got a video of Kali and her daughter after she returned from school. Kali LOVES kiddos, but I live alone, so I really felt tickled when I saw this, and Kali also had a chance to play with a brother/sister pair of dogs she was also caring for. Kali is a single "child" who hasn't really had the chance to do this; what a bonus! I found my person. The one who can care for my baby while I'm away, which allows me to be able to open up possibilities for travel, work, or just a "puppy-sitter" for a day. I love having Vinata, and her family there for me when I need. I couldn't have been given a greater gift!”
“We were so happy with all aspects of working with Rebecca. From communicating with her about our booking, our meet and greet, to the care and love she gave our dog while we were away, everything was easy and wonderful. Rebecca is a gem!”
“Shree was a total Gem her and Raul treated Zou like family ! My heart was filled with joy on the way they cared for him . The videos and messages were just enough to keep us engaged on his progress during his stay! He’s a puppy and still in the baby stages which is a lot but they managed him so well!”
“Nathan was absolutely fantastic with our three kitties for their short stay at his house. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and has extensive experience caring for cats. Our cats had a dedicated room at his house with enough space to sleep, play, eat, drink, and a window to look outside. This was our first time having our cats boarded at someone’s house and I was a little nervous beforehand, but instantly felt at ease once meeting Nathan and seeing where the cats would be staying. He also provided plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Overall, very happy with the care and attention our cats received. I would 100% board my cats with Nathan again and recommend him to friends and family!”

Anirudh and Purva were really great with our goldendoodle Tobie. They sent regular updates and pics and made sure that Tobie was comfortable as this was our first time leaving him with a new host. Tobie looked happy when we picked him. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby !!
Sydney is wonderful to Gus (my shadow who suffers from separation anxiety) - her dog Bernie is the sweetest and Gus loves his trips to see Sydney and Bernie - Sydney treats Gus like her own, sends us pics and videos and updates and this makes our family getaways so much more enjoyable knowing Gus in in such great care. So grateful to have found her!
From our initial meet and greet, I had no question in my mind that Gabby would be in good hands with Vicki and William and their puppy. Ruby. Vicki's home is super dog friendly and Gabby was made to feel right at home. Vicki sent me photos everyday and I could tell Gabby was comfortable and having fun. Which made me at ease on my vacation knowing there was no need to worry about anything . When I went to pick up Gabby she was in bed and had to be nudged. She was so comfortable she didn't want to leave 🥰 Thank you Vicki. I sure am glad I found you on Rover.
So very pleased with the attention and care our 5 year old deaf Cavalier received. Recommend top rating. Quick and clear responses to my texts and flexible with my travel plans. Their delightful Cavapoo was a great companion to my dog. Followed my instructions completely. Home in quiet Troy neighborhood with easy access to I-75 expressway. Would book again.
Angela and her husband Benjamin were really great dog sitters for my dog, Woodson. They had watched him previously for a week on short notice and Woodson seemed to really enjoy staying with them. They were great about sending me updates and pictures. It gave me confidence to re-book.
Krystle was so great and patient with my dog Dobby. He was really scared of going down her stairs, and it took over an hour to get him comfortable enough to go up and down with confidence. Krystle was patient and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I cannot thank her enough for being so good to him! Would recommend 10/10.
Susan and her husband Alan are amazing! They took incredible care of our two dogs, gave them so much love & attention and provided tons of cute updates frequently throughout my dogs’ stay. It was so comforting knowing my dogs were in excellent hands! I can’t imagine leaving my pups anywhere else!
Kimberly was super kind and accommodating!! My pup is people shy but he warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even had different toys and treats to gauge his interests. You can tell her heart is in this. I got consistent updates and i felt like my dog was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Clawson 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 Clawson 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 Clawson.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Clawson. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Clawson 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
