“Julie did a fantastic job with our greyhound Wedge! She took great care of him, and her greyhound Ernie was really great playmate. The communication was really good too, and I appreciated the check in to let us know how he was settling in. Five stars!”
“Kara was amazing! She took such great care of my boy, Gus. He is a bit high maintenance and needs quite a bit of care to keep him healthy and when he came home from Kara’s, he was happy and healthy!”
“Stephanie & Brenton took great care of Baxter, we were away for 2 weeks & during this time they sent pictures of his daily walk & adventures. They are a wonderful family & we felt the love during our meet & greet, we knew Baxter would be very well taken care of, they also take the best pictures! Thank you so much!”
“Tara did a fabulous job! Submitted photos daily and kept me updated on my dog’s stay! I’m sure he didn’t want to come home because he made friends there…a great family, too.”
“YiTing is a wonderful care sitter! She kept me updated every day and always let me know if she had any concerns about my little Shih Tzu, such as when she wasn’t eating well. She sent me pictures regularly and even discovered what toys she liked to play with—without me having to say anything! This was my first time leaving my dog with her, and I felt very reassured. I will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“Alia and Ian are amazing! They take excellent care of my dog with regular walks and playtime. They check-in with me regularly and my dog gets excited when I drop her off.”
“Makenna was amazing! She turned a normally stressful situation with a sassy Shiba into a positive experience for Lacey and I. I knew Lacey enjoyed being there when it took her a second to realise she wasn’t going for a walk but to go home with Dad. Appreciated the updates and the super kind and personalised holiday wishes! Makenna is totally gonna be my first choice to sit for Lacey in the future!”
“These guys were amazing!! They provided a loving home for my dog while we were away. We received frequent updates, and they treated my dog so well, I was sure she would never want to come home. I cannot recommend Chris and Cassandra highly enough. Through some glitch in the system, they were suggested to me, even though they were a 40 minute drive away. I will ABSOLUTELY be making that 40 minute drive again when my dog needs a sitter.”
“Alexandra and her family were outstanding sitters for our dog Max while we were out of town for a long weekend. We received updates and pictures everyday so we always knew he was being well taken care of. They took him on walks everyday and made sure he received plenty of snuggles on the couch during downtimes. Overall, Alexandra was a very welcoming host/sitter for our dog and a great communicator throughout. I would highly recommend her to others and would definitely have her watch Max again in the future!”
“Once again he was amazing! Cobra was very happy and excited to see him again! He will definitely continue being my sitter! He treated him like a part of his on family! 🥰”
“Ash did a fantastic job taking care of my pet Mia! He was incredibly attentive and made sure I felt at ease by sending regular updates and videos throughout Mia’s stay. It was clear that Mia was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed her time with Ash. I truly appreciate the care and love he provided. Highly recommended!”
“Amie and her family took excellent care of my dog. They helped her feel comfortable as she had never stayed away from home. I received daily updates and pictures. I would highly recommend them.”
“Aaron is super wonderful! Every time we book with him, he has been very attentive to the needs of our dog, he communicates multiple times throughout the stay and Rocky has a great time there! We will definitely continue to book with Aaron!”
“I’m so grateful that I found Jennifer! She is THE BEST! I was reluctant to leave my dog with anyone- but she loved on him, and took him for walks, and gave him lots of snuggles…and sent me lots of pics of his visit! I will DEFINITELY be using her again. ❤️”
“Susan did a fantastic job watching our GSP, Missy. Missy is a little anxious & nervous, and Susan knew just how to handle her. Susan provided frequent updates and pictures which assured us she was in good hands. In addition, Susan was graciously flexible with drop off and pickup times since we were working around our DTW flights. Thank you so much Susan! We will definitely consider you again for watching our Missy!”
“Great sitter! She’s attentive and provides great, safe , patience and caring environment for animals. My dog loved her! I appreciate that she also is very flexible with sitting arrangements.”

Julie and her husband are very kind people and took great care of our German Shepherd, Maverick. They played with him and took him for long walks. Nice size fenced yard and a clean home. I don't have any complaints, and I would definitely use them again! Stanley W.
Makenna watched my pup while we were on vacation for a week. She was prompt in our communications and flexible. Rosie seemed to be well taken care of and I'm sure she loved exploring Makenna's vast backyard. I appreciated the updates and felt like my pup was in good hands!
Thank you Brit for taking amazing care of my Diesel. I appreciate how Brit personalized care of my almost 15 year old yorkie. The updates were great and allowed Diesel to get his exercise in and make new fur-friends! I will definitely reach out the next time I need boarding for Diesel.
Felisha was so kind to take our pup last minute! We appreciated her flexibility and friendliness. She communicated with us in a timely fashion while we were away on our trip. She seemed to know how to read dogs' behavior, and was very attentive to Rosie's needs. My pup even had a built in playmate with Freya 😊. Rosie came home happy and well-cared for. Thank you Felisha!
Karen and her husband were honestly the most kindest people I’ve ever met. My family normally takes our dog Lola everywhere we go but wasn’t allowed to bring her to Florida with us for our daughter soccer tournament so she stayed with Karen for 8 days. I didn’t worry about Lola at all because not only was she happy to be at Karen’s I knew she was completely safe.
She was amazing with my Ivan pup needing a last min sitter for new years eve!! I received multiple pictures throughout the night and next day as well as updates how he was doing! She took him on multiple walks and he actually ate a lot of his food!!! He normally eats almost nothing when we travel with him. The multiple walks wore him out and he's done nothing but nap since we've gotten home with him! I will always use Ivona anytime I'm in the area and need a sitter!

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 Farmington 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 Farmington 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 Farmington.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Farmington 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.
