“Rachel and her husband were fantastic with my senior dog. They were so thoughtful and attentive to his limited mobility, making sure he was comfortable and happy the whole time. I really appreciated the enrichment, care, and extra time they gave him, along with the special treats, videos, and updates that showed how well he was doing. Their attention to detail and genuine love for pets really shine through. I would book them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone who needs a sitter.”
“Victoria was able to accommodate me with very short notice. She replied to my messages throughout my dog’s stay within minutes and kept me updated. She loves dogs and has 2 of her own, with which mine got along great, which is a bonus for him. She also played with him, took him to the park and even cuddled with him! (he loves to cuddle) She also sent me some cute photos on which Tobias seemed happy, I would recommend her to friends.”
“This was our first time boarding our two dachshunds. I was nervous at first but Nancy allowed us to meet her & her dog Betty before booking. Her dog Betty is a gentle giant and was nice to my dogs. Nancy did a great job at providing updates and sending us pictures. We will definitely be booking with Nancy in the future. Thank you!”

We hope to have him stay again!”

I can tell my cat was happy and well cared for. Azariah has a mildness that settled my nerves when I dropped Petey off. This was my first time using a pet sitter. She sent pics and updates that helped me not worry at all and just enjoy my vacation. I would definitely use her services again.
Jeanette took such good care of Maverick, he had the best time and came home happy and healthy! She even accommodated special requests for him at the last minute. Great communication from start to finish, with lots of updates and photos. Will definitely be rebooking.
I had never left my dog Darcy with anyone except my stepson, so I was worried how she would react. Vanessa was great. We met up with her twice before the booking, so she wasn't a stranger to Darcy. Vanessa sent pictures, which really helped put my mind at rest. Thank you.
Kayla was incredible with Suko. I could tell he was well taken care of because he kept begging me for treats and to go outside, haha~ I love it because I wanted him to have a vacation too while I was away. He's a senior pup now and I get nervous/anxious leaving him with anyone, but family (couldn't this time because all my family was on the trip). I would trust Kayla again with Suko any time. She sent photos every day and kept me updated. You can't go wrong with her!
10/10 he took Evie in on a few days prior, that right there is enough for me, he sent beautiful pictures of my Evie. Not only that but Ekow is able to take care of hyper active dogs, who need to do alot, and sometimes have trouble listening. That is what you call a sitter, will definitely book with him again!!
Yelitsa did such a wonderful job with our dog Mia! I received so many updates, at least 2 a day. She did well with administering my dog’s daily medication and keeping up with our regular feeding schedule in her home. Overall, my dog looked super happy every day and Yelitsa went above and beyond with exercise, treats and play time. We will definitely be booking with her again and I’d recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting!

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 .
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.

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.
