The communication throughout the stay was once again fantastic, so many pictures and quick notes on how the days were going. Definitely our go to place for Rogue❤️”
“When I drop Lemon off she doesn’t even look back at me because she knows she’s getting the utmost love and care. I enjoy the updates and photos of Lemon eating well, exercising/playing and sleeping with happiness in her body language. I always know that she’s in great hands.”
“Andrew and his partner were absolutely fantastic for our cat. We were in a situation where we needed our cat of our home for some renovations and they kept us updated with how we was doing all day and with some lovely pictures. If we’re ever in need again I’ll for sure be looking Andrew up again. Thank you!”
“Absolutely the Best She’s sends pictures and I feel like my dog has new doggie friends when I picked her up she looked a little sad she was leaving the other dogs it was the cutest ???? And I will definitely continue to use Selena hands down”
“Rocky's home away from home was another great stay! Rocky is so relaxed with no anxiety issues. Diane you're the best and this Momma doesn't have to worry when he's in your care. Diane is my dog whisper and can follow directions. We're so happy to have found you. Until next time Auntie Diane.”
“Sydney was great with Murphy. We received updates and photos on a daily basis. Murphy enjoyed his snuggle time, play time, backyard time, and evening walks. He was a happy boy when picked him up.”
“Katie was amazing! She made me feel so at ease and comfortable knowing my Fiona was in her care. Fiona was so happy to get to Katie’s house and looked so happy in her pictures! I can’t thank Katie enough for taking care of my girl!!!”
“We have left Timmy with Dellisa twice. He recognized her home when approaching in the car the second time and was excited to be there. We appreciate the great care she provides.”
“I cannot express in words how incredible of an experience we had with Brittany. Our original sitter fell through very last minute and Brittany was more than willing to accommodate a two week stay for our pup. Not only is her home environment perfect for a dog; lots of physical activity, snuggles, love, low stress, daily obedience training, etc., but it is also the expertise and confidence Brittany provides that makes for an ideal situation. She knows temperaments of breeds through her years of training and uses her knowledge to create a controlled, safe and fun experience. The daily pictures and updates gave us a worry-free vacation and we absolutely loved seeing the fun our guy was having. The pick up/drop off option is also a game-changing bonus! Seeing Brittany get a little teary-eyed saying goodbye to Clarence was complete confirmation of the genuine love she has for dogs. Clarence now has a beautiful second family for when we are gone, and we are forever grateful!”
“Thank you Jungmin, my family had a truly comfortable trip with your support. You kept us updated with photos from time to time, so we were able to travel without any worries. And it seems like Seoul also enjoyed staying with your dog, Taco. Thank you again!”
“She is really awesome! It is my first experience and my dog needed boarding immediately because of my business travel. but she responded very quickly even if I requested about 7am. It was very appreciated. She also has a dog and cat. They were very nice to him.( Thank you guys!) Her house condition was good enough for boarding dog. Clean and organized. I am so happy to find perfect place at once. I think I am lucky.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Jess. From our first meeting, I immediately felt comfortable leaving my baby with her. Her family is so warm and welcoming, and I love that she only takes one family at a time. I received pictures every night about my baby’s day. He was so happy and cared for that. I thought he might not want to come home with me. You will not be disappointed when you use Jess.”
“We spent a week on vacation and left our Italian Greyhound with Beth and her two pups Annie and Lennox. She sent photos every day and kept us updated. Rush came home excited and happy. Highly recommended.”
“Judith was great and very accommodating for a last minute request. Judith sent photos and videos of Scooby enjoying himself and making himself at home. Scooby slept for 10 straight hours after returning home, he had a lot of fun with the other dogs and kids in the home! Scooby made some new friends and would definitely bring Scooby back!”
“We are totally happy boarding our puppy at Margaret’s. Our puppy, Effie, had a great vacation while we vacationed. Margaret sent photos and videos daily which was good to see that she was well cared for and having a fun time. Great communication throughout. Margaret will be our first choice, for future boarding needs.”
“Amber made pick up and drop off quick and easy. She provided updates and photos/videos during our stay and accommodated us when we were running late. Would use her services again.”
“Very happy repeat customer! When we arrived at her place our dog’s tail started wagging. He was so happy to see her and her family and is very comfortable with them. Lots of videos, love, and attention.”
“Sarah and her sweet family are amazing!!! We left our golden retriever with them for a long weekend and Sarah sent pictures and updates the entire time. She is full of warmth and love and the perfect Sitter for anyone!!! We will definitely use her again!”
“This was our first time leaving Remi with anyone other than family. Iris and Tomas eased all of our worries by the regular communication and photo updates. They did a great job with Remi. When we arrived to pick him up, he was laying in their backyard in the sun. Totally relaxed and happy. Thank you Iris and Tomas!!”

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.
95% of sitters in Imlay City 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 Imlay 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 Imlay 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Imlay City. On Rover:
- 93% 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 Imlay 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.
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.
