“We were so lucky to find Angela to care for our dog Oliver. She is extremely talented in understanding and caring for dogs. Her daily updates reassured us that Oliver was doing well. We would strongly recommend her services. Doug & Carolyn Caldwell”
“Samantha and Zachary are awesome. Unfortunately it was a last minute trip but they set up the meet and greet right away and right away I knew it was the right choice. Loved getting the pics and videos and I would highly recommend them. Plan on using them again.”
“Dawn had our dog over Thanksgiving week. We got lots of updates and photos of our dog throughout the week. Dawn was very quick to respond and we would not hesitate to have her family dog sit for us again.”
“Jessica was simply amazing. We’ve never left our girls for any amount of time before and they were there for a week. Jessica was super patient and understanding with our one dog who needed some extra time to get comfortable around other dogs and cats. We were sent daily pictures and updates and videos throughout the week. Initially we were nervous being away from them for so long but we knew they were in good hands. The updates reassured us that they were having an amazing time and enjoyed their vacation at Jessica’s house. I 100% recommend Jessica to watch your dogs, and will be a return customer next time we need her services! Thank you again 🥰”
“Craig was great with our dog! Sent a lot of updates and was courteous and attentive to our dog’s personality and needs! He was very flexible to work with as well.”
“This was my first time using Cody's services and I couldn't be happier. He was great with communication and sending pictures. My fur baby came home happy and tired from all the play time and attention he got. Will definitely go back. Thanks Cody”
“Queeny took such great care of my 5 month old puppy! She sent pictures and videos throughout the time of our Kaju being with her. She is also so attentive! At home we get Kaju’s water from the filtered fridge water spout out of habit and Queeny noticed that Kaju wasn’t drinking tap water and provided him with filtered water. I absolutely recommend Queeny!”
“Theresa and Adrian met me at a hectic time in my life! I had a broken foot and was trying to coordinate a trip out of state while remodeling my kitchen. I was overwhelmed and scattered brained but they were both so kind and understanding. They even came to pick up and drop off Pep, a huge help with my broken foot. They took excellent care of my girl, who had a great time. We'll definitely use them again!”
“Katherine was an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly attentive and truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy, safe, and comfortable while I was on vacation. She took him on regular walks, kept me updated with pictures and videos, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. The sweetest surprise was that she even celebrated his birthday with pupcakes! It was clear that she treated him like one of her own. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and thoughtful pet sitter.”
“Abbey was wonderful! I’m always nervous about leaving our sweet Goldendoodle with people but I felt completely comfortable during our time away and knew Abbey was taking the best care of him. Ford is pretty great too!”
“Brit is had watch my yorkie before and she was wonderful with him. With my American Bullie Blue I was worried that he may be a little too much for her. Blue has never been away from home and since he looks like a pitbull people are sometimes afraid of him. But Britnie was wonderful with blue as always. She would update me daily with his activities. She got him to go for walks and even gave him a bath. Blue was so spoiled by Britnie I don’t think he wanted to come home when I picked him up. I would definitely take by 4 legged babies back to her and also will be sending all my family to her also .”
“Nathan and his family are excellent dog sitters. Duke had a great time. He was sending pictures so I can see how Duke was managing being away from home. I truly appreciate the great care they gave my dog. I’ll definitely use them again.”
“KoKo’s stay with Lindsey and our first experience with her is awesome, she is a true pet lover and took very good care of Koko. This was our first time to leave Koko with a dog sitter and that too for a week so we were little nervous and anxious but Lindsey assured us by sending so many videos, pictures and messages, and we were able to see that he is enjoying and made new friends ? She also kept him very clean, gave him a shower and kept his things very neat and clean which we really appreciate. We look forward take her help again in near future.”
“Chetoya was great with our puppies. She had a fenced yard and ample space to keep them separated. They come home very relaxed and didn’t show any signs of stress or anxiety. We will definitely book with Chetoya again.”
“Keira was AMAZING! This was the first time I left my dog with a stranger. He is very skiddish but can be a Stinker at the same time. Keira made him feel so loved. She went above and beyond meeting Oscar’s needs. She took him for walks, let him sleep with her, played and snuggled with him. After a brief time, I was so relaxed to enjoy my trip. Keria provided me with frequent updates and pictures. She was very understanding about my over protectiveness. She calmed me. Oscar doesn’t like many but he loved Keira. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much Keira for giving Oscar so much love and attention!”
“Ashley was an absolute DREAM to work with. I have a shy, sometimes reactive, very particular pup and Ashley listened to all of my concerns and tips and instantly became one of Bear’s BEST friends. This was my first experience ever leaving my pup with anyone and I do not think I will ever have a better one. If you have any hesitation leaving your pup leave them with Ashley!! She lives on a beautiful farm and takes advantage of all of its beauty with your pup, Bear got daily walks around the farm and I was updated with the cutest pictures. Thank you so much Ashley, Bear and I cherish the time you to spent together.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grosse Pointe Woods
I was in a desperate situation with my other lady who watched my dogs when I travel when I learned that she wasn’t taking good care of them. And I almost cancelled a trip but found Mia and Phillip and they seemed really nice and thorough so I used them for a two week trip. They were wonderful…I got pictures or videos twice a day with updates and always felt they were secure. A really good experience so you can use them with no fear.
Megan was wonderful with my senior girl Olive Oyl! She was so attentive and caring, kept me updated the whole time, and I could tell Olive Oyl was comfortable and happy. It's hard trusting someone with an older dog, but Megan made it easy. Would absolutely book again — highly recommend!
Rachael treated Monty like a member of her family! He got all the play time and snuggles he could ever want. We had full trust in Rachael to watch Monty for 12 days while we were in Europe. She was very communicative and provided lots of pictures. Will definitely leave Monty with her in the future!
This was our first time boarding our two dachshunds. I was nervous at first but Nancy allowed us to meet her & her dog Betty before booking. Her dog Betty is a gentle giant and was nice to my dogs. Nancy did a great job at providing updates and sending us pictures. We will definitely be booking with Nancy in the future. Thank you!
Gerrie and her family took wonderful care of Diego. From the pictures they sent regularly, I could tell he was made part of their family during his 8 day stay. Gerrie was flexible with dropoff and pickup times. I will definitely be asking them to care for Diego on my next trip!

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.
95% of sitters in Grosse Pointe Woods 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 Grosse Pointe Woods 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 Grosse Pointe Woods.
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 Grosse Pointe Woods. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Grosse Pointe Woods 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.
