“Nicole and her family were wonderful!! They took great care of my Pointer Stella and she had a good experience. They sent me pictures of Stella with Nicole’s family and her friendly pets. I would most definitely recommend her to any of my friends or whoever reads this! I will definitely be bringing Stella back for more visits!”
“Millie is so well cared for, which puts our minds at ease while we travel! We received videos and photos of her playing and we get her back with a nice soft coat as she gets brushed. This was Millie’s 2nd stay and we will return again!!”
“Robin took such good care of my babies Loki and Morgan. And even on short notice for a last minute wedding I had to go to in Washington state. She sent awesome updates on how they were doing. We really appreciate you taking such good care of them. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies.”
“We had the most incredible experience with boarding with Haleigh. We boarded an 18 month old GSD puppy with her. She showed him such great care and provided many updates. I cannot recommend her more. Five star. Nicest person ever.”
“1st time boarding our 2 year old heeler. Thank you for answering all our questions and putting us at ease before even booking. You guys are awesome and just what we were looking for. Thank you”
“Best sitter for my Border Collie I found. She ( Janelle) has the large yard and home to roam and is such a great person. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️10 plus from me - I used her for 1 year and many over night stays.”
“Zuri is amazing! Our dogs, Luca and Loki, had so much fun at Zuri’s house and they were so well taken care of that we couldn’t be happier. We’ll definitely use Zuri’s services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Rodney and his puppy crew were amazing! He sent pictures and gave updates to let me know that Marshmallow was comfortable and well cared for. Our little girl is looking forward to visiting again!”
“Very responsive to messages! I appreciated the pictures of our dog while they were there and could see how happy Coco was being there! Thank you again! An absolute pleasure and will definitely book again if needed!”
“Our pups had a fantastic time with April! She was so welcoming and kind. This was the first time we left them for several days and she made us feel like we left them with a family member and could enjoy ourselves. I highly recommend her!”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”
“Christine was professional and kind. She not only took our 2 dogs overnight but also came to pick them up for us, at our parents house, while we visited from out of state. She kept us updated with pictures of the dogs playing and resting, etc.”
“Fantastic experience from quick contact, to ease of dropping off and picking up our dog. Pictures with daily updates were really appreciated. Happy and healthy dog at pick-up said it all. Thank you Sarah!”
“Amber took care of my senior cock-a-poo for the day. He is an old guy with issues (deaf, anxiety) and she seemed unfazed by his challenges. I found Amber to be very pleasant and kind, and she and her child are clearly animal lovers! I always worry about my dog staying with anyone, but I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Thank you, Amber!”
“My dog obviously had a wonderful stay with Anne - he came home tired and happy. She took him on walls and pontoon rides...lucky dog! She is firm and loving, and was careful to discuss our dog's preferences and needs when I dropped him off. She does not currently have pets of her own, but introduced him to the doggie next door. I could not be more confident leaving my pet with her.”
“Finding the right person to care for my dog Shelby was a time-consuming process, particularly because she is 13 years old, requires separation from other dogs, and her sight and hearing are declining. Despite Brece residing an hour away from my home, he graciously offered to have a trial sleepover to see how Shelby would do at his home prior to my 12-day trip. The trial went well and Shelby had no difficulties staying with Brece during the trial. Although I informed Brece that Shelby typically skips a couple meals when I am away, he took the initiative to buy a nutritious broth to mix with her food, ensuring she would eat while I was gone. I am now giving the same broth to Shelby; thank you, Brece! Brece took her for walks a couple times each day, and I received updates along with adorable photos, and it was clear that Shelby was happy, safe, and loved. Once I returned home, Shelby was relaxed and wagging her tail. I would certainly choose to book with Brece again, and I highly recommend that you do the same. Again, thank you Brece for taking good care of my little girl.”
“Stephanie and Matt were amazingly accommodating. Sent lots of pictures and communicated well. They have a huge fenced yard for lots of safe, outdoor playtime. Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Clayton 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.
