“I couldn’t be more impressed with Sabrina’s care for my dog, Sophie. From the start, Sabrina was attentive, easy to reach, and communicated clearly throughout Sophie’s stay. She went above and beyond, frequently sending photos and videos that let me see just how much fun Sophie was having. It was reassuring and heartwarming to know Sophie was in such good hands. But what really sets Sabrina apart is the special touch she adds. She created these amazing custom magnetic photos that perfectly captured Sophie’s experience and her wonderful personality. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture that I never expected! Sabrina exceeded every expectation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
“Emily and her family were amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our babies! She sent updates everyday with pictures and helped our anxious pups feel like they were a part of their family. Thank you so much for all you do and did for us! ❤️”
“Megan was an amazing sitter! Our Frenchie had a little health issue prior to our drop off and Megan navigated a few restrictions on Tula's activity, as requested. She updated us with photos and reports throughout the stay, and we felt Tula settled in well with Megan. We highly recommend Megan and will be using her services again soon.”
About: I’m 23 years old and I have 2 dogs. One is 7 and the other is 1 year old. I got them both when they were puppies so I’ve had dog experience for 7 years now. I like to take them for walks daily if weather is permitting as well as play fetch. I am a CNA but I do home care so my schedule is flexible, I can work mornings or nights. I love doing Outdoor activities. I have a nice fenced in back yard for them to run around and get their energy out. So far I’ve taught my dogs how to sit, shake, dance, and high five with both paws. I want to continue to teach them more tricks. I’m sure my dogs are looking forward to having more buddies to play with!
“Rachel is an all around great human. 10/10 I appreciate her structure, experience, passion; she is thorough/attentive, easy going and communication is 10/10 I loved the photos and updates regarding my pup! He had such a great time! 10/10 Environment was clean, tidy, and well suited. 10/10 Definitely a gem !!”
“Dan and Kelly are awesome. They sent pics and updates which we loved. By the end of his 5 days Pocket got into the groove there and did great. Matter of fact he loved it so much that he was pouty the entire day after we brought him home. It is hard to leave pets. With Dan and Kelly one can relax and know all is well. Super grateful. Thank you to Dan, Kelly and the gang.”
“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”
“We have been using Paige for a few years now. She is incredibly flexible and willing to work with me for convenient drop off/pick up times. She is able to plan ahead months in advance to be able to care for our dogs when our baby decided to arrive. She has also taken in the dogs the day of when I have completely forgotten to set up care for them. Our dogs come home happy, well taken care of, and they always seem excited to see her when being dropped off! I haven’t bothered to get a backup boarder because there is no way I’d have as excellent of an experience - without a doubt.”
“This was a wonderful environment to leave my dog. I felt like I was dropping him off at summer camp. We had daily contact with pictures and videos. I highly recommend Reyna.”
“Christina watched my two furry kids overnight. She loved on them during their stay and sent pictures of them. I would recommend Christina to others and not hesitate using her services again.”
“Jenny was wonderful with our 14 yr old dachshund, Charlie. She sent pics and updates every day, and it was evident our little guy was well taken care of and content in her home. I would definitely rebook with her again in the future!”
“Our dogs loved their week with Caroline and her sweet dog Gator. I was a little worried about our blue heeler adjusting because of his anxiety, but Caroline is definitely a pro. She took such good care of our boys and I would definitely book with her again in the future. She sent pics and updates daily too. Highly recommend!”
“We were SO pleased with how Erin and Brian took care of Willow! Even with little quirks that Willow had, they were willing to adjust to make her comfortable. We would highly recommend them to watch your fur babies.”
“Soly was the most thorough and detail-oriented dog sitter I have ever used; and I have used many. I was very impressed! I really enjoyed all the photos and detailed updates from him each day. Moe seemed very happy and I am grateful for the care and attention Soly gave to my best buddy. Soly's townhouse is in a great place for dogs. There was a nice walking trail and a great dog private dog park that was completely fenced in. I am confident your dog will be in great hands with Soly.”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Howard City sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Howard City landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Howard City 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 Howard City.
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.
You and your Howard City 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.
