“Dawn was/is great!! I’m just moving to Michigan and she was able to take Spinks short notice. I really appreciate her. Spinks had the time of his life and enjoyed playing with her dog Callie. She is very responsive and will send pics and videos of your pet.”
“Our golden doodle Miles had a great time with Amanda and we were able to enjoy our three days away knowing that he was in such good hands. Amanda sent us numerous pictures and kept us I up to date on how he was doing. We' look forward to having her care for our pup when we travel again.”
“Shannon was very good with our dog. She kept us posted on how he was doing with posts through Rover and lots of pictures. I could tell our dog felt at home with her and we found her communication and service with our dog to be top notch!! We will definitely use her again. A+ and very grateful.”
“Leslie was AMAZING. She sent frequent pictures of our baby's walks and adventures. It's very clear she loves dogs and treated our Pickle like he was her own. We have complete comfort knowing Pickle was in great care, getting all the TLC he needed while on our honeymoon.”
“I love her. First time leaving my Stormi but i was comfortable that she was in good hands. Always want someone that my pup would relax with. She was really calm when I picked her up. I will book with Jalyn again.”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with Apollo. She even slept in the guest room with him so he would feel fully comfortable and have all the cuddles he needed. She took excellent care of him and sent lots of photos of him having a great time on nice walks, playing tug, and getting cuddles. I fully trusted that she would take care of him not just physically but emotionally too. She’s incredible.”
“Megan did a great job taking care of my baby while I was gone on a vacation for the long weekend. I received daily updates, pictures and videos of my dog playing with her puppy. She also bathed him and kept him in comfort during the Father’s Day fireworks. I am beyond impressed, thankful and appreciative to her love towards the fur babies!!”
“Dee was amazing with Kosi! 🐾 I really appreciated all the updates and pictures while I was away, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She was also accommodating when my travel plans changed and I needed to adjust his pickup. Kosi seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Kayla did a fantastic job taking care of our 7.5 month old mini golden doodle pup, Eevee. Eevee started her first heat cycle during her stay and Kayla handled the unexpected situation very professionally by making sure Eevee wasn’t around male dogs, putting her in a diaper, keeping her clean, and helping her manage the discomfort. She kept us updated in a timely manner as well. Would definitely recommend Kayla and have Eevee stay with her again.”
“Christina was amazing, she kept us informed the whole time, sent pictures and Forrest had a blast. Our flight was eight hours delayed and she was kind and patient. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting.”
“My dogs had a great time with Chelsea and Robert. Chelsea was great with communication and sent many photos and videos to keep me updated. I felt very comfortable with leaving my two dogs with her. They can’t wait to go back, hopefully soon! 💙🐾💙🐾”
“Janine was wonderful with Dixie and made him feel very comfortable. She kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos throughout his stay, and was incredible accommodating with our last minute schedule changes. Her kids were also so sweet and loved Dixie. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you.”
“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!”
“Joann is obviously a very experienced dog sitter and dog lover! Leaving your dog is so much easier when you feel confident he is in good care. She also sent lots of pictures which is always appreciated.”
“alexandra and georgi were great. they sent live updates so we could see how our dog was doing which was very comforting. we will definitely ask them to watch our dog again.”
“Andrew was great! It was my first time leaving the doggy with a stranger, but he set up a meet and greet and kept me updated so that I barely worried my whole trip. He even convinced Dr. Pepper to take his meds, which is no small feet. If I ever need to travel again, I can say with confidence that Pepper will enjoy his vacation with Andrew too.”

Megan was wonderful with our elderly dachshund! Piper is finicky and gets grumpy and Megan was absolutely wonderful with her. She is very intuitive and tuned in to animals, what they need and what they are comfortable with. Piper loved staying with her. When we picked her up her tail was wagging at the house and she was very comfortable and settled in. Megan is a gift to all of us!
Teddy just finished his stay with Jasmine, and I couldn't be happier. She was attentive, followed all his care instructions, and kept me updated. Teddy came home happy and relaxed. It’s a huge relief to find someone so trustworthy to watch him!I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Inkster 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 Inkster 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 Inkster.
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 Inkster. 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 Inkster 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.
