“Steven was great with Beast. On our first visit Beast took to him. I received updates with pics and video which helps me to feel sure about leaving him there. I was told Beast even found a friend in Duke (another cane Corso). I’m pleased with the professional and prompt response. Would book again with him.”
“Oliver had an amazing time with Whitley and her pup Ollie! They were so cute together, playing and having fun. I was nervous as this was the first time Oliver stayed with someone he didn’t know and Whitley made him feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
“Sogol was nice, kind, thoughtful helpful, caring.... I could go on and on. She not only took great care of O.C., she sent pictures regularly and informative updates almost hourly! "Thank you" is not enough. Sogol is wonderful.”
“Kayla kept our dog Dior while I took my daughter to school. The ease of drop off and pickup made a somewhat stressful time of my life, so much more easier. She communicated with us the entire 4 days. Even when a snag came and I needed Dior to stay a tad bit longer, she was totally onboard and made it happen. I also want to thank her daughter for being attentive to Diors needs as well. While my daughter is away at school, I will DEFINITELY reach out to them for additional services. I would recommend you giving this lovely family a shot!!!! Again, I appreciate you all!!!”
“Shree was a total Gem her and Raul treated Zou like family ! My heart was filled with joy on the way they cared for him . The videos and messages were just enough to keep us engaged on his progress during his stay! He’s a puppy and still in the baby stages which is a lot but they managed him so well!”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“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.”
About: Hello! My pet experience consists of having my own doggy for the past 20 years. I rescued my older dog and then got a new puppy. My old Rose passed away but I had to give her eye medication and oral medication everyday so I am comfortable with that. I also grew up with family dogs and cared for those dogs. My availability to watch your dog is very flexible. I work from home a most days a week so it is a high chance that I could work from home while caring for your pup. I am a very caring person. I have a PhD in human development and family science and work in the social work field. I have a giant heart and would love to care for your doggie! As a stay-at-home worker, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of play and cuddle time. My flexible schedule means I can easily accommodate pets’ needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific routine or being available for spontaneous walks and care. Being home also helps me monitor behavior closely and respond quickly to any changes, making pets feel secure, loved, and well looked after. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment tailored to each animal’s needs. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, regular outdoor time, and plenty of affection and play throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean space and follow any routines or special instructions provided. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick closely to the pet’s established schedule to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, ensure fresh food and water, maintain cleanliness, and give each pet the love and attention they’re used to.
“Mocha had a great stay at Jess’s place! Jess took great care of her and Mocha had so much fun playing with the other dogs! Jess does a great job making sure the dogs are playing safely with each other. We are looking forward to our next stay with Jess :)”
“Jackie was able to accommodate our Burqee on short notice and she was absolutely amazing. Burqee had an amazing time with Pinky and Jackie updated us twice a day with pictures and notes, which kept our mind at ease. Would definitely book with Jackie again!”
“We always know Hazel is in good hands when she stays with Monica. She always takes such great care of her and is easy to communicate with. She’s our go to dog sitter when we’re out of town.”
“Dawn took fantastic care of my baby! She came home beautifully tired out from playing with Dawn's own fur babies. Dawn provided informative daily updates that kept my mind completely at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“What an amazing host family! Tanuja took all the appropriate steps to make me and spice feel welcome and comfortable with this being a first time host. We had a meet and greet so both dogs could get comfortable with each other and after that moved towards hosting. She kept me well informed and was very thorough with making sure she had everything to care for spice. I would definitely book again with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asked.”
“Krystle was so great and patient with my dog Dobby. He was really scared of going down her stairs, and it took over an hour to get him comfortable enough to go up and down with confidence. Krystle was patient and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I cannot thank her enough for being so good to him! Would recommend 10/10.”
“We were delighted to board our little Duncan with Anirudhh Sai T. We had made vacation plans at the last minute and they were so willing to help us out and take care of Duncan. Everyone at the house was so polite and pleasant. Anirudhh sent lots of photos and a few videos, too! I felt that Duncan was very well cared for and was happy in their home for the time he stayed there. We will gladly use their services again!”
“Julie was absolutely wonderful! She took my Pita at the last minute because another sitter wasn't home at drop off time. Julie took great care of Pita. We're going to Ireland in October and hope Julie is available. 5 stars for Julie.”
“We were so happy with all aspects of working with Rebecca. From communicating with her about our booking, our meet and greet, to the care and love she gave our dog while we were away, everything was easy and wonderful. Rebecca is a gem!”
“We are so grateful to have found Susan and Alan! They took amazing care of our pug while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our little guy can be a bit mischievous, but they handled him with such patience, warmth, and care. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved! We got regular photo updates and messages that gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Susan and Alan really treat their guests like part of the family. We’ll definitely be booking with them again, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, loving sitter. Five stars all the way!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison Heights
Emily is an absolute rockstar and the sweetest human!!! She took such wonderful care of my baby! I just moved to the area and don’t have people I can rely on. I have always left my dog with people I know and trust so this was a difficult transition for me to ask a stranger to watch my literal child, but Emily was so warm and kind and is definitely an animal lover through and through. She treated Delilah as her own and gave her so much attention and care. I got so many updates as well that filled all the gaps of missing my little girl. I will be using Emily moving forward HAPPILY. Thank you so much for being so reliable and attentive to my old lady, she is so obsessed with you ❤️
My dog absolutely loved her stay with Rachel! Rachel and her husband Jeff treated my dog like she was one of their own. Rachel was great about providing daily video updates, and every video I got my dog’s tail was nonstop wagging! Rachel finds creative and thoughtful ways to keep the dogs entertained. I was away for a week and felt so comfortable knowing my dog was well cared for and having such a fun time.
Kevin and his household were absolutely amazing taking care of Olive for two weeks while I was out of the country. I was very nervous because this was the longest I had ever left her, but they immediately made me feel so much more comfortable. They were incredibly kind and communicative, sending me updates and pictures almost every day, and Kevin made sure to confirm with me when Olive received her medication. I truly felt like they treated Olive as one of their own. Their household is especially well suited for high drive, high energy dogs, and knowing that Kevin understood the needs and personality of a Belgian Malinois mix made such a difference for me. Olive had an absolute blast with their dogs, and I genuinely think she was a little disappointed that she had to come home and leave all of her playmates behind! I would absolutely trust Kevin, his wife, and pups, with Olive again and would recommend them to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog while they're away. I'm so thankful we found them!
Kimberly was super kind and accommodating!! My pup is people shy but he warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even had different toys and treats to gauge his interests. You can tell her heart is in this. I got consistent updates and i felt like my dog was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!!

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 Madison Heights 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 Madison Heights 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 Madison Heights.
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 Madison Heights. 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 Madison Heights 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.
