“Angela took fantastic care of Maxwell for four days while I was away! He came home, looking happy, healthy, and wonderfully cared for. He was super excited to see me, but I can tell he thoroughly enjoyed his stay with her. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking for a loving and attentive dog sitter.”
“Christopher is awesome. He is very attentive, he communicates effectively; keeping me up to date on Asas status and activities! Sends lots of pics too. Highly recommend.”
“Steven was great. Took fantastic care of Daisy and was quick to respond to any of my Questions. He made drop off and pick up easy and we are lucky to have found him as a future Daisy dog sitter. I highly recommend him”
“Jessica did a great job watching my fur babies. She sent me a lot of photos and updates, so I could rest assured that they were getting along with all of their new pet friends. I would love to use Jessica again!”
“Katherine was great with my dog Achilles. He is a high energy dog and she made sure to give him plenty of play time and sent me pictures of their daily walks. During his stay, she took him to the groomers, bought him food and treats. I knew she was an amazing sitter when Achilles saw her for a second time and would not stop wiggling his butt and got in her car right away. Thanks Katherine :)”
“Natalia was amazing! She communicates clearly, was flexible and accomodating and Sammy clearly had a good time in her care. I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and proud pug mom who would love to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for puppies, potty training, and looking after senior dogs. For the past three years, my husband and I have been raising our own pug, Pupo, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your dog. We recently moved to Michigan for my husband's work, and while I finish my master's degree in Computer Science online, I'm home throughout the day. Here's what you and your pup can expect: 🏡 Lots of love and attention: I'm home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of company, cuddles, and supervision. 🌳 Fenced backyard: Plenty of room for supervised playtime and potty breaks whenever needed. 🐕 Daily walks: We're located just off Mack Avenue, on the border of Grosse Pointe Farms, and love walking through the nearby neighborhoods and green spaces. 🧩 Toys and activities: We have plenty of toys, puzzle feeders, and other activities to keep dogs entertained. 🐶 A friendly playmate: Our pug, Pupo, loves people and other dogs! We're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand and can keep dogs in separate areas of the house if needed. 📸 Photos and updates: I'll keep you updated so you know how your pup is doing while you're away. Every dog is different, and I'm happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, and potty schedule to help them feel comfortable during their stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! ❤️ I'm currently finishing my master's degree online, so I'm home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks as often as needed! I enjoy taking breaks from studying to spend time outside with Pupo, and we'd love to have another furry friend join us! I'm happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, and nap schedule to help them feel right at home. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities! 🐾 🏡 Clean, dog-friendly home: I keep our home clean and the floors clear of small objects, food, and anything dogs might be tempted to chew or eat. 🌳 Fenced backyard: Dogs have plenty of room to play and enjoy supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard. 🐶 Safe introductions: Our pug, Pupo, is friendly with other dogs, but I understand that every dog is different. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before booking to make sure everyone is comfortable. 🚪 Separate spaces if needed: We can use gates to keep dogs in separate areas of the house when needed, whether for feeding, rest, or personal space. ❤️ Personalized care: I'll follow your dog's usual routines and any special instructions you provide, including feeding schedules and other preferences. 📸 Regular updates: I'll send photos and updates throughout your dog's stay so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for!
“Just simply amazing. Very patient and kind and many many updates throughout their stay which keeps your mind at ease. They took two of my elderly dogs who are sometimes a bit extra and they treated them like their own. Very professional. Also their house is truly a dogs paradise. You won’t be disappointed with the care your furbabies will receive. Most definitely will be a repeat customer.”
“catherine is amazing! she is so sweet, super attentive, sends frequent updates and is quick to respond. my dog dobby absolutely loves her. 10/10 would recommend. will definitely be booking with catherine again!”
“Could not be happier with our experience with Emily and Jason!!! Completely professional, warm and friendly with the whole experience. We started with a casual meet and greet to ensure her baby Larry and my babies would get along ok. Then during their stay she sent us tons of updates and photos every day. My dogs came home so happy. Truly the best experience we have ever had on Rover. She even sent them home with little treats and a hand written card. Will absolutely be a repeat customer, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“We loved Amanda! This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone. Amanda gave us tips on how to make a smooth transition. She kept us posted with photos and notes! We will definitely be back!”
“Renee is amazing! Luger thoroughly enjoyed himself at her house. I could not be happier about the whole experience. There was structure and plenty of outdoor time that helped my dog to settle quickly. She even had no issue with giving Luger his eye drops then even brushed him out for us! I highly recommend her services.”
“Maritza and Daniel are amazing! Bowi stayed with them for 6 days They made sure we felt comfortable. Maritza is an excellent communicator. She sent me lots of pictures and updates everyday.

“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.”

“Lindsay is an awesome sitter and gave my very shy dog everything he needed to be comfortable at her place during his stay. She provided daily updates with videos and photos on how Butters was doing—it was so nice to see him get more and more comfortable and confident around her starting from the end of the first day. I will definitely book with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harper Woods
We were so happy to find Tracey and that she was available to care for our pup for an overnight stay! Our little guy is only 10 months old, isn’t neutered yet, and has some anxiety, so finding someone we felt comfortable leaving him with was really important to us. Tracey loved him right from the start, and it was so reassuring to see how quickly she welcomed him and treated him like one of her own. She took the time to get to know him, evaluate his behavior overnight, and even provided us with some helpful training recommendations. Tracey is a wonderful communicator, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely loves the animals in her care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets as if they were her own!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
This was the second time my Belle stayed with Abbey. The first time was 19 days. And she exceeded my expectations. This second time I breathed easy, knowing Belle was in her care. She sent pictures and gave updates. Definitely will be booking in the future. Thankful that we found her. She and her family are amazing (this definitely includes Ford)!🥰

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 Harper 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 Harper 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 Harper 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 Harper 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 Harper 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.
