“Tara is a fantastic Dog Sitter. It’s the first time my dog is away from here for a long time and she was very happy being at Tara‘s house. I enjoyed getting the photos. She also adjusted to my change in the days that I scheduled to be with her, which is very helpful for me during this time of my surgery”
“Christopher and Cassandra have been great for Diesel. They kept us updates about the stay, sending pictures and videos and letting us know how he was settling in as this was our first time with them. They were flexible with drop off and pickup times and will surely have them at the top of our list for next time.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Terri was amazing. Communication was great and we had no doubt our puppy would be well taken care of. We’ll absolutely use Terri again and recommend her.”
“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.”
“She’s absolutely wonderful with Rex! Knowing he’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her home makes being away so much easier. Her genuine love for dogs really shows, and we couldn’t be happier to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t thank you enough for helping me last minute watching Chelsea last week. The energy of your person and your home space is so grounding and calming was the immediate presence that I was relieved with upon meeting you. I needed my baby somewhere safe and peaceful and you provided that thank you beautiful human would love to work with you again! Tipped you in cash.”
“Best sitters ever! They took care of our beloved Mazsi and provided tons of feedback (texts,pictures,videos) how she was doing the whole time so we felt a lot better leaving her in the US while traveling abroad. Thank you very much again! Will definitely come back next time as well!”
About: I love walking and running, I enjoy getting exercise and also love lying low and getting cuddles. Dogs are the best at doing all of these things and I thoroughly enjoy taking care of pups and making them as happy as possible! I am a full time student and caring for dogs is a great option for helping me stay on top of my school work and giving myself time to play with pups! I am able to accommodate staying active with the pups and also cuddling up with them. I am focused and very detail oriented which makes taking care of your pups easy! Helping pups to be their happiest makes me happy!
“Could not recommend Stephanie & Brenton more!! They took amazing care of our Golden Retriever, Max. We loved getting daily pictures and updates without even having to ask for them. We felt comfortable that he was being loved on and very well taken care of the whole week that we were gone. Would use them again in a heartbeat!”
“Samantha's love and care for our sweet Charlie went above and beyond all of our expectations. She, along with her family, truly take the time to really get to know your dog for all their wants and needs. This was out first time leaving Charlie and Samantha gave us the ability to relax and know that our boy was in more than capable, loving hands. We will 100% book with her again and couldn't recommend her service enough.”
“Christina was very communicative and accommodating, keeping us updated on everything we needed to know throughout the stay. She even let us know about a last-minute schedule change on her end so we were fully aware. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and will definitely book again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including having my own family dogs, Milo and Charlie, who previously lived with me full-time. I also have experience fostering animals and working at a doggy daycare, which gave me experience caring for dogs with different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, supervision, cleaning, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll always treat every animal in my care like they’re my own. I currently work part-time and attend school, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight care depending on the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and will make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship while in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any feeding, walking, medication, crate, or household instructions you provide and keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive and patient and understand that every animal has a different personality and comfort level. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Amanda was nothing short of amazing. She constantly kept us updated with pictures and maintained great communication from booking through pick-up. She immediately caught on that fetch was our dog’s favorite thing and played with her all day. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Very highly recommended!!!”
“We had a great experience! Odie was well cared for during his two-day stay. We received regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Odie looked happy and comfortable. We would definitely book again!”

Dena and her family gave my dog Arlo amazing care !! He was treated like part of the family and loved up. I would highly recommend them if you want to have a very safe and loving home for your fur family member while your away. Thank you so very much for caring for Arlo 🩷🩷🩷
Toby loved his stay with Anni! We loved that she sent updates and went on plenty of walks with him. We also appreciated that Toby was allowed on the furniture as our little guy loves lounging on the couch and bed. I would definitely recommend Anni! Communication was great and drop off/pick up was super easy.
Anjana watched my dog for 2+ weeks and did a fantastic job with daily communication on what they’re up to, sending me adorable pics and videos, and being transparent about how my dog is adjusting to other dogs in the home. I really felt like Anjana treated my dog as their own and kept her happy, comfy, and feeling at home. I’m so happy I booked with Anjana and would highly recommend!
Chelsea was great with my boy. He is a little quirky so she did a meet and greet beforehand and put my mind at ease that he would be fine. He was well taken care of and I saw photos and got updates every day. Ty Chelsea for giving us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation with no worries for him!
Cheryl is a very good communicator and our small dog was happy and relaxed after her recent stay with her - and it was easy to keep in touch with Cheryl. We were happy with how smoothly and straightforwardly everything went throughout this whole process with Cheryl and we would be happy to use her services again.
I am so thankful for the care that Beth provided for my baby boy, Maxwell. She went above and beyond in caring for him. She spoiled him rotten! I'm sure he misses her and her home. She took him for multiple daily walks and that's not an easy task! He loves to sniff everything. She cared for him like he was hers. I definitely recommend Beth for your fur baby!

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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia.
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 Livonia. 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 Livonia 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.
