“Could not be happier with our experience with Emily and Jason!!! Completely professional, warm and friendly with the whole experience. We started with a casual meet and greet to ensure her baby Larry and my babies would get along ok. Then during their stay she sent us tons of updates and photos every day. My dogs came home so happy. Truly the best experience we have ever had on Rover. She even sent them home with little treats and a hand written card. Will absolutely be a repeat customer, couldn’t recommend them more!”

I fully trusted that she would take care of him not just physically but emotionally too. She’s incredible.”
“Susan did a fantastic job watching our GSP, Missy. Missy is a little anxious & nervous, and Susan knew just how to handle her.

We will definitely consider you again for watching our Missy!”

She’s sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see Ginsberg was happy and relaxed.”

Megan was wonderful with our elderly dachshund! Piper is finicky and gets grumpy and Megan was absolutely wonderful with her. She is very intuitive and tuned in to animals, what they need and what they are comfortable with. Piper loved staying with her. When we picked her up her tail was wagging at the house and she was very comfortable and settled in. Megan is a gift to all of us!
As always, Millie received phenomenal care during her stay at Kerri's. Without a doubt, she goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is happy, safe, and healthy. My shy girl actually looks forward to spending time at her star sitter's house. Thank you again Kerri, for all you do! Jeanette M.
Aaron and Andrea were so highly reviewed and recommended, and now we know why! They were so terrific with Pecan and I was surprised that she did not act happier to see me, LOL. I'm pretty sure she was spoiled with love, attention and fun, she wasn't sure she wanted to come home! We are looking forward to having them sit for Pecan again.
Lisah was wonderful with our dog! She was very responsive and sent us pictures while we were away. He looked like he was the one on vacation, playing and cuddling on the couch! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. We’d definitely book with Lisah again!
Andy was great with our Remy! We were in a pinch because of a late cancellation (family emergency) by a different sitter, and Andy was super accommodating and understanding. Andy knew how to easy Remy into her new environment. We received great communication and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend and will definitely use Andy again!
We had a wonderful experience with Tanios! This was Sparky and Milo’s first time staying with him, and they stayed for 5 nights. Milo has a little separation anxiety when we leave him, especially when staying with someone new, so on the first day he was a bit unsettled and was whining/whistling for us. He’s also a picky eater and wasn’t very interested in eating at first. To top it off, there was a thunderstorm and even a tornado warning during their stay, which made him a little more uneasy. Tanios was incredibly patient, caring, and understanding with Milo. He made an extra effort to help him feel comfortable and even gave him chicken so he would eat. By the second day, Milo had settled in beautifully and was feeling completely comfortable. Tanios was wonderful with both Milo and Sparky and consistently sent us updates, which was very reassuring, especially since this was their first stay with him. Both pups came home super happy and well cared for! We truly appreciate the care and attention Tanios gave them and would definitely trust him with Sparky and Milo again. Highly recommend!
They were recommended to us by a previous guest. We did an overnight stay to test run a longer trip in the future. She was very communicative, receptive, and sent pictures and pupdates without me asking. Definitely recommened if you are looking for a comfortable stay for your pet!
Demi was absolutely amazing! She was very professional, caring, and went above and beyond while watching my pet. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet was surrounded by a loving family who helped provide plenty of care and attention. I could tell my pet was treated like family, and I truly appreciated the love and dedication. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
Megan was an amazing dog sitter. She checked in with me regularly and kept me updated throughout my trip. I truly appreciated that her top priority was making sure my dog was comfortable, which gave me peace of mind during my vacation. Knowing that Bacon was well cared for and comfortable allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. I will definitely book with her again for my next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

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 Dearborn Heights 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 Dearborn Heights 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 Dearborn Heights.
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 Dearborn Heights. 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 Dearborn Heights 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.
