“Sara was amazing! She was available in a pinch for doggy daycare. Our pup truly enjoyed hanging out and having puppy playtime with her dog, Milo! We will definitely be using Sara’s services again in the future.”
About: My Husband and I welcomed my dog 7 years back in the family when we had no plan to have a pet but we just had to bring her home. I have trained her all by myself and received many compliments on how well-behaved my pet is. I have taken care of my friend's fur friends multiple times. Zusa gets along with pretty much everyone with a condition of them remembering who the queen is in the house lol there’s 40% chance of her playing with your pet but she’ll mostly mind her own business which noting everyone who stopped by- by the bay window that’s 10ft long. Your fur baby will be allowed there too after 24hrs of stay😊 we enjoy pets more than humans😜 which is why your pets likely to be cuddled here not just for the show. They’ll be treated as a cousin of Zusa visiting and nothing less than that. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to entertain your fur friend! I'm available on weekdays anytime after 10 am and accommodate them over weekends with some heads up. I have a fenced yard, lots of toys, and a Shitzu to give your pet company. I do have pretty much everything but a crate, so if you believe your pet will be more comfortable with that, then please bring it with you.
About: Hi! I’m Stephanie! 🐾 I work full-time from home for Rocket Mortgage, so I’m home pretty much all day and your pup will have lots of company and attention while they’re here. I have two Pomeranians of my own. Luna is my “Covid puppy” and definitely the social butterfly of the house, while Cosmo is my sweet 14-year-old senior boy. Having a senior dog has given me lots of experience with the extra patience and care that older pups sometimes need. There’s also a baby in the house, so definitely a busy little household! The dogs are very much part of the family and I’m used to having a full house. We’re on a large corner lot with a fully fenced-in yard and 6-foot privacy fences, so there’s plenty of safe outdoor space for potty breaks, hanging out and getting some fresh air. We’ll still do walks, of course, but having a secure yard is definitely a nice bonus! And when it’s time to come inside, there’s a nice comfy couch right by the window where the dogs can keep themselves entertained watching everyone walk by. 😂 If your pup enjoys a good neighborhood watch spot and barking at the occasional passerby, they’ll fit right in! I’m pretty flexible when it comes to what your pup needs. Special diets, medications, potty accidents, extra walks, a specific routine, or just a LOT of cuddles are all totally okay with us. I know every dog is different, and am happy to keep them on whatever routine makes them feel most comfortable. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own, send pictures and updates, and make sure they get plenty of attention while they’re here. I know leaving your dog with someone can be stressful, so my goal is for you to feel like they’re having a little vacation of their own. 🐶❤️ I would love to have your pup come hang out! Our schedule is pretty relaxed and flexible! Since I work from home, I’m able to give the dogs attention, potty breaks, walks and outside time throughout the day rather than keeping them on a strict schedule. We’ll follow your pup’s normal routine as much as possible, including feeding times, medications, naps and whatever they’re used to at home. There’s plenty of time for walks and supervised yard time, but also lots of lounging, napping and hanging out with us. Basically, the dogs get to go with the flow of our day. If they want to play, we play. If they want to nap on the couch and watch the neighborhood, that works too! I want every dog staying with me to feel safe, comfortable and at home. I have a large corner lot with a fully fenced yard and 6-foot privacy fences, so pups have plenty of secure space to get outside. I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day and able to keep a close eye on everyone. I’m also comfortable with senior dogs, medications, special diets and the occasional potty accident.
“Maritza did a great job communicating with me for Marlon’s first visit. I am super grateful and glad to know he’s being watched by a thoughtful and caring family.”
“Angela and her rescue pack are great! She’s so kind, comforting, and understanding with our shy anxious rescue girl. Her boys Ernie and Jerry are a nice bonus to help socialize Gretchen with other dogs. I also appreciate Angela’s open honest and frequent communication.”
“Jennifer was available to watch Oliver last minute for me. She was quick to communicate and very accommodating. Oliver had a great time and Jennifer was sure to send updates throughout the day! Looking forward to utilizing her again in the future!”
“First day care day with Jess was a success! Jess was super communicative and flexible providing me with feedback and updates throughout the day. Huxley was able to play with a great group of pups and he came home with a great attitude and passed out. Hux will be looking forward to his longer stay over the holidays :)”

I currently work from home, and am able to let out frequently. Your pets will be treated like my own while they stay with me. I have a fenced in yard and a playful pup who loves to meet new friends! I am set up for any scenario needed, and have crates for safety and feeding.

“Kadi was fantastic! So warm and reassuring to talk with, as well as super sweet and patient with our pup. He is a bit weary of men, and unfortunately wasn’t able to relax around Kadi’s husband. She let me know that she wanted to make sure Tito was as comfortable as possible. Kadi went of her way to reach out to her pet sitter, a fellow rover member (without a male in the house ☺️), to see if she would be available and open to taking Tito on for a weekend. She even made sure there was availability for a meet and greet before hand. Kadi went above and beyond and showed us she really cares about the well being of the pets in her care. Thanks a million Kadi!”
“It’s been a week and just a few days of being with Rachel and her pups Gizmo has transformed. He gets exercise and mental stimulation that is soooo much needed. He’s gotten into a great routine and feels much better. Rachel’s communication has been wonderful and I’m thankful to have found her.”
About: I’ve had a variety of animals growing up. Dogs, Guinea pigs, birds, rabbits, etc. I love taking care of all kinds of animals and have experience doing so. I also watch my friends dogs all the time when they are gone on vacation. I work from home so I will always be actively available to care for your loved one. When I have bookings I make it a priority to stay home so you’ll never have to worry about your animal being left for a long period of time. I enjoy having the extra company and usually my dog Nala does too 🙂 I have a dog named Nala. She loves walks, tennis balls, and treats :) she loves playing in the backyard and laying in the sun watching people pass by. I will ensure all needs are met when caring for a pet. I will provide photos and videos as I can relate to pets being family and missing them while you’re away.
“Alan was incredibly accommodating when I needed to book pretty last-minute for a holiday and set up a meet & greet with me right away. I knew my dog would be in amazing hands, and based on the photos I received and how exhausted my dog was at the end of the night, I'd say he had a really great time with Alan and the pups. I know it's always a little bit nerve-racking booking a sitter for the first time, but Alan is incredible and I highly recommend him!”
“Amanda was so great! Her flexibility with our timeframe was very helpful as we were visiting from out of town. We loved her home and the loving way she welcomed us and our dog. The picture of the two of them snuggling on the couch together was fun and made our evening more enjoyable knowing he was living his best life. Thank you again Amanda, visiting our kids has just become much less complicated, we look forward to connecting again!”

Rachel put so much care into taking care of our dog Holly! Holly is dog reactive and we have spent the last year working on reactivity training with her. She has come such a long way and Rachel has been so generous with helping us work on socializing her. Will definitely be booking again!
Cathy and Joe were AMAZING!!!! Not only are they super nice people, we loved them, but more importantly Buddy LOVED them. Buddy seemed to have a wonderful time with them. He doesn't always get along as well with 'strangers', but Cathy and Joe were more like family, and I thank them so much. I will book them again in a heartbeat!!!!!!!!
We are so excited we have found such a wonderful caregiver for our two dogs, One is an energetic mini Aussie and I have never seen her respond so well to anyone. She was cuddling with Whitney within a couple of hours and we got lots of photos of the pups playing and snuggling throughout the day. Whitney is a bona fide dog person whose house is not only gorgeous, but was designed with dogs in mind. The fenced in yard and dog park were amazing and our dogs got to play outside in a safe, clean environment. We have already booked her again for a longer visit in December and we are so happy to know our pups will be in the care of someone who not only knows dogs but genuinely cares for them and goes out of her way to make them at home and loved. A++++

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Madison Heights commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,132 sitters in Madison Heights, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
