“We just picked up our dog from his second visit with Caroline. As soon as I pulled up to her house to drop him off, he was tugging at his leash to go inside. He has so much fun there and Caroline offers so much love, attention and care for all the dogs she watches. She sends lots of pictures/videos and makes us feel so safe when we have to be away from our dog. Will definitely book again!”
“Margaret was very helpful and accommodating. She kept little longer than expected with no issues. Sent pictures and communicated thoroughly. Will use her for services again if needed.”
“Katie and Kristen were great! They were extremely responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates. Our dog settled in quickly and was very comfortable with them.”
“Marcin was a GREAT sitter for Remy. We brought our dog to UMich from NYC to drop off our son for college. Marcin watched her while we did the heavy lifting in the dorm. He walked her, took photos, made her treats (dehydrated chicken). He was very responsive with communication, was punctual and very nice to work with. It was helpful for us, but also comforting to know Remy was in good hands. I would highly recommend.”
“JoAnn takes great care of Isaac. He gets plenty of attention and exercise. He always comes home happy and healthy. I definitely recommend her!”
“Katie was very welcoming to our two dogs and they seemed very relaxed and comfortable with her and her husband. She sent pictures and was also very accommodating to our last minute change request and then unplanned delay because of car trouble. We would definitely recommend Katie!”
“Wiley boarded for 5 days, had a great time. Being with other dogs was great. We’re very happy with his care and his stay. Definitely recommend and definitely will book again.”
“Professional, kind and clearly dog lovers! Happy to find Coddy and Byron for the long holiday weekend. As a lab, Kevin can be quite the handful and after the meet and greet I knew he would be well taken care of. Provided daily updates and answered my questions quickly. Best part is Kevin came home tired and happy! Recommend and will be using again!”
“Deana is very friendly and kind. You can tell she loves dogs! My dog Bean seems like he had a wonderful time with Deana and her dog Shaggy. Deana provided updates and photos almost every day and is very communicative/responsive. We would love for her to watch Bean again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Great experience! Appreciated the daily updates. Seems like they were treated like family. Marija’s home and yard is a perfect setting for lots of playing and comfy time.”
“Jennifer was amazing! This was my first experience using Rover, so I was very nervous especially having a dog listed as an "aggressive breed." She made me feel very comfortable, and my dog came home happy and tired from playing ! I will definitely be using her services again and I would recommend her to others as well. :)”
“Ariana and Yogi are perfect for boarding my Pfeifer. The three of them always look like they are having such a good time. Yogi and Pfeifer must run and jump all day as Pfeifer slept the entire 2+ hour ride home. Photos are shared throughout the stay. Excellent companionship and human attention in a glorious fenced in yard. First choice for Ann Arbor boarding needs.”
“Simi was very detailed, responsive and sent lots of pictures of Mabel throughout the day. Would not be hesitant to use her again. Highly recommend.”
“Eric was great. He had Diesel for 2 of the hottest days of this year. Eric sent regular updates about Diesel's food, walks, pictures and was very responsive. Thank you Eric and we would love to have you care of Diesel again in the future.”
“Amazing, super sweet and I appreciated how she sent alot of pics and vids of my pup with updates of what they were doing!!🫶🏾 would definitely recommend and will be a returning customer”
“We are very impressed & pleased with the care & attention Aylin gave our rather nervous but adorable Mr. Pickles. We had a carefree getaway knowing that he was in a safe & comfortable home with attention to his special needs. I would highly recommend Aylin & hope Mr. Pickles can vacation with her again in the near future.”
“Karen was great with our 15 year old dog. She kept us informed, sent pictures and spoiled her! She was great with having a meet and greet ahead of time. We would definitely use her again in the future!”
About: We are small dogs lovers and would love to watch your pup! Our 15 year old chihuahua passed away this year and we are looking to fill the void in our home by giving your dog the love and attention they deserve. We have a great set up with our fenced-in backyard and plenty of space to run around, in addition to living in a walkable neighborhood for dogs who enjoy long walks. While we love all dogs, we’re best suited to watch dogs ~30lbs and smaller. I work from home on Fridays and we don’t work weekends, so we’re able to give your dog all the attention they need and try our best to keep their routine just like it would be at home while they stay with us. We’ve used Rover for many years to find sitters for our own dog, so we understand how important it is to find someone you trust. We’ll work with you to understand your dog’s personality to make sure they are well-cared for and comfortable in our home.
“Catherine took good care of my female golden retriever who is 1 years 9 months old. She sent me pictures regularly during her stay. I would surely recommend her and I will use her the next time.”
“Donner and Zelda had another great visit with Uncle Will and Auntie Cara. We are so lucky to have found a loving place to leave our dogs. Looking forward to another visit again soon!”
