âStephanie and Dave are great sitters. Our beagle Lola is well taken care of. With photos and txt about how she is doing is highly appreciated.â

âRemmy felt so loved during her stay and most of all we felt reassurance that she was being well cared for! If we ever need a sitter we will definitely be booking another stay.â

âGreat communication, gave a good recap of how my dog did and paid attention to his anxiety and how he didnât seem to tolerate the heat despite walking later in the day, and cut a walk short because she was concerned by his panting.â

âSusan cared for my timid Golden while I had surgery. It's so good to have someone that I trust to love and care for my companion while I'm not available. One less stress!â


âEvvia was absolutely fantastic. Howie had plenty of activities and stimulation and I have no doubt he was in the best hands. Communication was great and I loved all the pictures and videos she sent of my boy while I was away. Will definitely rebook with Evvia in the future!â

âDanielle and her family had Fuji for a month long visit and they treated her like their own! She came back very happy. I got pictures and updates and Fuji even came back having been taught a new trick! They were flexible with me having to extend my trip, asking to pick Fuji up an hour early, and even jumped my car for me when it died in their driveway! I would definitely hire Danielle in the future and recommend her to anyone who is seeking a kind, reliable dog sitter.â

âJayme's family was such a great home for our dog while we were away. He is delightfully himself right when we pick him up, which lets us know that he is comfortable and loved there.â

âLetâs just start by saying my puppy is not for the faint of heart! She is a gsp, so by nature is very hyper and energetic and letâs be honestâŚ. Kinda crazy! Megan did an amazing job caring for her while I was away on vacation! I received daily updates which I loved because this was our first time away from her! And she has a friendly dog that kept her occupied the whole time!! Not once did I worry about my puppy while I was gone which is nice because this pup is like my baby! Also Megan has a fenced in backyard for additional play area which is also nice. Will definitely be booking again in the future!!! đđśđžâ

âMarina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.â

About: I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. Iâll follow your instructions closely, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, potty breaks, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. Iâm happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry friend is doing well while youâre away. Iâll also make sure to keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Most importantly, Iâll treat your pet like theyâre my own! I work from home every day as a full-time remote employee, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime, and I can even care for pets while their owners are at work. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and have plenty of experience having my family dog come stay with me. Iâm also a very active person who loves walking and running, so Iâm happy to bring an energetic pup along for some exercise and adventure! When your pet stays with me, Iâll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home! Iâll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, your pet wonât be left alone for long periods of time. Iâm also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and Iâll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. Iâll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while theyâre staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. đ¤

This was the first time I had to use Rover. Dale sent daily messages and photos which helped ease my anxiety about leaving my "baby". He was also flexible with drop-off/pick-up timing as my flight home was delayed. I definitely recommend Dale. You can tell he loves animals.

Danielle and her family had Fuji for a month long visit and they treated her like their own! She came back very happy. I got pictures and updates and Fuji even came back having been taught a new trick! They were flexible with me having to extend my trip, asking to pick Fuji up an hour early, and even jumped my car for me when it died in their driveway! I would definitely hire Danielle in the future and recommend her to anyone who is seeking a kind, reliable dog sitter.

Fabulous experience! It was our first time being away from our puppy and it was an entire week, so we were anxious. He had a great time! Was happy to be there and happy to see us. We got pictures and updates, Lindsay was amazing. Highly recommend and will be using her again

I have a really hard time leaving my pup behind when I travel but I always feel comfortable when she is in Tatyana's care! Tatyana goes above and beyond and truly cares about the dogs that she watches. I have peace of mind knowing my dog is safe and loved when I'm away.

Puggy LOVES staying with aunt Pam. She takes the most AMAZING care of him while heâs there. This is the second time she has watched Puggy and Aunt Pam will always be our first choice! She is the VERY best!!! & she has the sweetest & most adorable pup crew that Puggy loves playing with and lounging with. Pam lets Puggy sleep in her bed and she spends a ton of time letting him sit in her lap. His favorite! Puggy loves her!

Emma was great with our dog, Blue! She was very responsive and reached out promptly with questions. Blue had a great weekend and came home exhausted from all the play. We received lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Highly recommend Emma!

Megan was so amazing. We dropped our cat Pepperoni off at her place and we knew she would be in good hands for our trip. We got pictures and videos and daily updates about pepperoni. It was such a nice feeling knowing that someone was taking good care of her. Thank you Megan for loving our pepperoni đş

Raven was absolutely amazing with maverick! Maverick can be super difficult at times and she made the experience amazing for all of us! She sent us pictures and he was always so happy with her. Raven was super flexible and came out of her way to pick him up and drop him off! Sheâs a great person with great vibes! We will be working with her any chance we get in the future.

Suzy took wonderful care of Misty! She was very reassuring and sent us updates while we were gone. She walked Misty every day and spent time with her in the yard. The personal attention was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be having her care for Misty again!

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 Meet & Greet .
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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, youâre adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Roverâs reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
