“Excellent family to take extra special care of your pets. Lots of pictures shared, and care given for our dog. We will definitely recommend and use Katlynn again next time we plan a vacation.”
“Kelli is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving our dog since he has some separation anxiety, but Kelli was fantastic. Her regular updates put me at ease and Mooshu loved running around her big yard! Would 100% recommend Kelli and her services.”
“Rex was a great sitter for my dog, Roo. He was communicative and gave me plenty of updates and pictures. Roo is always a little timid at Rover stays, so he made sure she had her own space and was introduced to the dogs slowly. She was also a happy girl (and not anxious at all) when I picked her up so I know she had a good time :)”
“There is so much good to say. Denali was well cared for and looked after. I received many videos and pictures of Denali playing with other dogs and enjoying a good healthy environment. I will definitely recommend and definitely return all of my dog care sitting business to.Taya.”
“Deb was awesome. She really took good care of my dog who is 13 years old. You can tell she has a love for dogs. She was very professional and sent me cute pics during his stay. I would highly recommend Deb to care for your fur baby..”
“Elizabeth was wonderful! She deserves an award for handling my crazy, high energy Labrador. Somehow she kept up with his endless energy & chaos. I got constant pictures and videos giving me a peace of mind while i was gone. Duck came home happy and tired. Can’t thank her enough for watching him!”
“Christine and her crew were incredible and did a great job. Thor came home exhausted and without any bad habits (begging from the table, attempting to get on furniture, etc). Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”
“Katie was great! She and her husband took amazing care of Titan for 5 nights and treated him like he was their own. Great communication and regular updates, lots of walks, plenty of love, and they were very flexible with my drop-off and pickup schedule. I felt completely comfortable knowing Titan was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Katie and use her again!”
“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”
“My dog loved staying with JoAnn and Mike. He must have had fun playing with their dog Lyla because he's been sleeping since we got home! JoAnn responded quickly to any questions and gave updates. I always felt he was well taken care of and getting lots of attention and play time. ”
“Sasha's experience and manner with Benji has made the transition from Metro Detroit a easy endeavor. Her video and Pic updates and communication were welcome. Sasha, a real professional indeed. Benji's tail wag was the sign that sealed the deal. Benji and I will be looking forward to future stays with our new Dog Whisper 😀”
“First time using this app or service and I reaaalllyyyyyyyy hit the jackpot for my first time!! Kathy is AMAZING, and so sweet and sent the best pictures and videos. I know my Puppy will miss her so much !! Thank you Kathy 🤎🤎😘”
“Sunny loved her stay with Jenai and Sean. It was a very smooth drop off and pick up and we got plenty of updates and pictures. Highly recommended and we will definitely book again in the future if available.”
“Anastasia did a great job with Daisy and sent pictures every day. Her dog River was very friendly to Daisy and they played a lot together. I will definitely use Anastasias care again should we need dog sitting in the future.”
“Janelle is outstanding. We have used rover in many states during our travels through the last several years as full time travelers and Janelle is the best!! Great communication and care. Would seek her out whenever possible.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 231 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dowling. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Dowling sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dowling landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dowling 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 Dowling.
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.
You and your Dowling 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.
