“So grateful for last minute flexibility on both ends of stay to accommodate out of town family needs. The care, communication, and our dog’s comfort level are just the best. Thank you!”
“We left our two kittens with Jenny for two weeks and she took really good care of them, she kept us updated and sent us photos of our babies while we were away. We will definitely reach out to her whenever we require a boarding service again, we really recommend her!”
“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.”
“Repeat customer here. Goose loves hanging out with Christina, Michael and the family! They take great care of Goose and always send regular updates so I never have to worry while I’m traveling for work.”
“Stephanie was absolutely wonderful to our puppy and cared for him as if he was her own. Her house/yard are the perfect set up for dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving him with her for his first ever boarding experience! We loved her so much, we’ve already booked her again. :)”
“Tatyana and her family are so kind! Meeting her before was the best thing so my dog could get acclimated to her space and her dog. She sent so many pictures and gave ample updates. She’s so knowledgeable and kind and moving forward will be the only one watching my baby. He was so comfortable and felt right at home. You can tell Tatyana truly has a passion for dogs! You can travel comfortable knowing your pup is in good care!?”
“Pam is fabulous and our dog had the best time at her house full of other furry friends! Pam sent several photos and updates each day, ensuring that Taco was being well cared for and having a good time. Our dog came home exhausted after a weekend playing with the other dogs, chasing squirrels around the yard, and searching for the coziest spot in Pam’s house. We’ll definitely rebook Pam in the future!”
“Chad was great with Simon and his huge backyard gave plenty of room to run. Chad was “assisted “ by his little doodle, Lucy. When back to the Grand Rapids area in the future Chad will be our first choice.”
“Tracy cared for Ikers just like he was her dog. He received tons of playtime, hugs/lab cuddles and attention. Honestly think Ikers had more fun at Tracy’s Rover Resort than at home ☺️ Thanks again Tracy for taking such wonderfully kind and loving care of Ikers. It gave us such peace of mind!!”
“Thank you Megan for being a wonderful dog sitter for Coco! I was worried about leaving her for the first time and you eased my concerns very quickly on the phone. Appreciate all the pictures and text while we were away. That helped us know she was happy & being well taken care of with walks and snuggle time. I will highly recommend you to my friends & anyone looking for a sweet dog sitter (without pets of her own). Again a huge thank you! We will be in touch in a few weeks to schedule another over night stay for Coco. Karen”
“Megan was great updating us with her observations of Gypsy (our Doberman) along with pictures of activities they were doing. We will definitely be a return client and recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter for your fur baby!”
“Highly Recommended! Melanie went above and beyond to make our toy poodle welcomed and comfortable when we boarded him for our trip! I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and even a fun video. Melanie is prompt, reliable and trustworthy!! She treats your dog like her own. When we came back from our trip, Tucker was happy and relaxed. Thank you again for everything!! Sheryl P.”
“I will definitely be using Laura again! She was able to give me updates on how Rosie was doing and that gave me peace of mind on my first weekend away from her in a new city. Rosie seemed right at ease at drop off and pick up, I knew she would was well cared for!”
“Jacy is AMAZING! She made our sweet boy so happy. Spoiled him with constant play time and love. She communicated regularly with so many pictures. 10/10 recommend! We are so grateful for such excellent care!”
“I'm very happy to have met Paige and Matthew on Rover.com I knew my Bruno was in good hands. They love dogs and it shows in the care they provide. Two thumbs up! 😊”
“Kina was so great, replied fast, and was extremely caring and accommodating for my last minute booking. She took such good care of my grandmas dog and made sure to send plenty of photos and videos! Would highly recommend her to anyone”
“Evvia was so great and patient with Luna. It was Luna’s first stay ever with someone new. Evvia kept us updated with messages, pictures, and videos. Just what we needed. I will definitely use Evvia again for our next time we need boarding.”
“Teri was super helpful getting the critters settled and was quick to respond whenever I messaged her. Leaving my pets with Teri felt like leaving them with trusted family. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cat and rabbit. Teri went above and beyond caring for my beloved pets.”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life but I also currently have a leopard gecko. I have a history of also having fish and even Axolotls! I do work but mainly from home and with flexible hours. Caring for my pet is a part of my day to day life and caring for yours as well would be a pleasure! My dog sleeps in bed with me, goes outside in my fenced in yard, enjoys tons of play time and 2 walks per day in my neighborhood.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Forest Hills is $43
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
We recently had the pleasure of leaving our dog with Lindsey and her family, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Lindsey’s communication was wonderful, keeping us updated and sending adorable photos daily. It can be stressful leaving your furry family member behind, but Lindsey and her family created such a warm, welcoming environment that we felt completely comfortable the entire time we were away. Our pup came home happy and well-cared for. We would definitely rebook with Lindsey in a heartbeat. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills 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 Forest Hills.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest Hills. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Forest Hills 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
