“Thank you to Emily and her family for taking such good care of our girls. From dealing with different medications, special food to eat and dealing with our new rescue who still has accidents in the house sometimes. She went above and beyond. The reports and pictures daily helped ease that awful feeling of leaving them. We would book with her again.”
“Appreciate the updates they provided while caring for our dog River. They were very quick to respond to messages and flexible in drop off and pick up times.”
“We loved leaving Ollie with Caroline! We got to meet her before our trip, and Ollie got to check out where he was going to be staying. She was fantastic with communication and sent us pictures of Ollie while we were away. She was so kind, and you could tell she loves dogs and has a lot of experience caring for them. We felt comfortable leaving Ollie in her care - knowing he would be safe and well taken care of. We will definitely contact Caroline again when we need a dog-sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Amy did a wonderful job looking after our Beagle, Harvey for an extended weekend away. She was particularly good at giving us updates on how the dogs were doing throughout the weekend”
“We always appreciate how well Ashleigh takes care of our two labs for long and short stays. They come home tuckered out from playing with Ashleigh’s pups and are always excited to return. Our boys can be a handful and Ashleigh is always patient and tolerant of their crazy antics - we’re so thankful to have such a reliable, dog-loving sitter for our pups!”
“Averi took great care of my Remy boy! She is a kind and thoughtful sitter and very easy to communicate with. She sent pictures during Remy’s stay at her home and assured me he was happy and well taken care of. Prior to Remy’s overnight stay, we met up for a meet and greet. Averi listened to my explanations of Remy’s needs and had no issues understanding and managing his anxiety and reactivity. She made me feel at ease. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
“Jenny is a fantastic sitter. She takes very good care of our senior dachshund, and updates every day! We feel very comfortable leaving our little Charlie with her.”
“Felix was great with my dog Sadie! She can be a bit shy and anxious in new environments but warmed up in this safe and comfortable environment. She had a great time playing with the other dogs! Felix was very responsive and provided updates frequently”
“Sabrina provided a safe and loving environment for our fur baby. She communicated with us several times a day and sent pics and videos so we could see how well Sydney was doing. We will definitely plan to board our pup with her again!”
“We left our pug with Sherri and her family and were so happy we did! Sherri took exceptional care of our pet and we could tell that she was in such good hands. I highly recommend Sherri. She was exceedingly conscientious and caring and Junebug came back to us happy and healthy!!”
“We have a 4month old Belgian Malinois and needed a sitter for the night. Rachel took us last minute, with a days notice& took great care of our little guy. We received a few photos, which were absolutely adorable. We saw a big difference between dropping him off at Rachel's and a doggy daycare. We would highly highly recommend her!”
“Ru D was an excellent babysitter for Dakota. Ru sent me daily updates and Dakota looked very comfortable in her surroundings. I would 100% recommend her. Thank you Ru”
“Matt was a very enjoyable person to work with, he accommodated some of our unexpected need for changes, get along extremely well with our dog, and that was apparent when I came to pick her up. We are very pleased with Matt and will certainly work with him again.”
“Todd & Maureen were (once again) great to take our hyperactive dog Raven for these days. Since their road was having some work done they actually came and got her and left her off. We have full confidence in their care of our dog and highly recommend them.”
“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.”
“Thank you for looking after Maizy, twice! I appreciate the communication and photos sent, I know she had a very good stay with your family :) I’d be very happy to book with you all again!!”
“Our dog hadn't been to a sitter in years. He had a great time and looks forward to a return visit with his new friends. Christie was great at keeping us updated with photos and updates.”
“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.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Grattan 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 Grattan.
<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 Grattan 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.
