“Tiffany was fantastic! She send me at least one picture every day and she answered my questions fast. My Coco looked happy during her whole stayed. 100% would recommend.”

“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”

“Best dog sitter in town! Excellent communication. Tons of walks and pictures. Our dogs weren’t even that excited to see us at pickup time. They love staying over at Angelina’s house!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets including cats and dogs for about 3 years now, not including the cats and dogs I grew up with! I currently have a cat who loves cuddles and going on walks in his stroller! I currently work fully remote so I’ll have a lot of free time to tend to and play with your pet! I go on daily walks, perfect to give your pet time to stretch and get some fresh air I have ample space for pets to roam and play in my home. There’s also space to crate your pet if preferred. There is a walking path right outside my door that we can use for walks and potty *I walk cats as well! - in stroller*
“Robert was absolutely amazing! Max can be a difficult dog for others to deal with. From asking questions prior to booking until we picked up Max the last day, Robert was so nice and easy to communicate with. Robert sent pictures and updates frequently while we were on vacation which gave us comfort knowing Max was being well taken care of and cared for. I’d definitely rebook with Robert again!!”

“Katherine and her family were great. It was my first time leaving my baby with strangers. We had a meet and greet and met the whole family. Getting pictures during Ksylee's visit and seeing her looking relaxed and comfortable were comforting to me. I will definitely use again.”
“Kimberly took such great care of my two girls. I couldn’t ask for a better person to leave them with. We were gone for a long trip and she always sent pics and cute videos to fill our hearts while we were missing them! Could not recommend her enough. So grateful we found her!”

“Theresa and Adrian met me at a hectic time in my life! I had a broken foot and was trying to coordinate a trip out of state while remodeling my kitchen. I was overwhelmed and scattered brained but they were both so kind and understanding. They even came to pick up and drop off Pep, a huge help with my broken foot. They took excellent care of my girl, who had a great time. We'll definitely use them again!”

“Rafael and his partner took fantastic care of my senior dog, who was still recovering from recent surgery. They were incredibly attentive, providing daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They’re a super communicative and genuinely kind couple — I could tell Mistral was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended!”

“Sofia, thank you so much! Sofia was fantastic. Communication was perfect, and much appreciated. We had a good meet and greet to start, which led into a very comfortable and fun stay for Ara. The pictures said it all, I coudl see my dog smiling in every photo as she was so happy. When a pet owner is away for 8 days for work, it precisely this that makes it a tad easier. I would highly recommend Sofia, and hope to have Ara stay with Sofia again in the future.”

“Tiffani was excellent and took amazing care of our dog. Tiffani was extremely responsive, followed all of our instructions and made sure that Nutmeg had a fun visit while we were away. We really appreciated the photos every day and the video of her many adventures during her stay. I would definitely recommend Tiffani!!”

“Elizabeth was fantastic! Her and Moose gave buddy a welcoming and safe place to be whime we were in town for work. I would highly recommend them! She even was kind enough to pick him up so we could focus on our event. Thank you Elizabeth and Moose, we will see you next time we are in town.”

“Wonderful experience with Alia & Ian. Nugget came back happy and relaxed. Great communication and genuine care. She’s already looking forward to her next visit!”

“This was my first time using Cody's services and I couldn't be happier. He was great with communication and sending pictures. My fur baby came home happy and tired from all the play time and attention he got. Will definitely go back. Thanks Cody”

“I left my dog Koda with Andrew for a week and had zero worries. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not stress about my pet. He sent lots of pictures and Koda definitely was enjoying himself in the backyard and on walks. He was definitely a happy boy!!!”

“Maureen is amazing! She took care of our dog, Chutney, for almost three weeks in her home and she treated him just like her own. She sent regular updates and photos and make sure to take him for daily walks. Chutney is nervous around new people, in but he definitely took to Maureen immediately. She is a natural with taking care of dogs! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“Every cell of concern and worry about leaving my dog for the first time for a few days with A C. was immediately removed with their kindness, concern, attention to details and constant pictures, communications and videos during his time with them. He arrived home well exercised, calm and cared for! I recommend them highly and will use them many times! again!”

“Holly is an amazing woman. She welcomed Oliver into her home so warmly and lovingly. He is a little nervous around new people. She immediately made him feel comfortable. Within minutes he acted like he lived there! He was curious and very happy exploring. He was so peaceful snuggling with her and Lisa. I was confident he would be well cared for. Holly sent me regular pictures and updates which we really appreciated and enjoyed. I highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to watch him in the future.”

“Meredith was super kind, lovely and made my little Bichon Frisé felt totally at home. She updated me with videos and pictures constantly even describing how my little one was feeling each day. Definitely I’ll book Meredith again, she is the best!”

Leaving my dog with a sitter for the first made us feel uncertain. However having Jamie as a sitter made everything feel easy and more comfortable. She was great with my dog! Gave her lots of care and attention and sent us many pics and updates along the way. Will definitely be using Jamie again in the near future when I need a dog sitter.

Elizabeth took excellent care of our dog! He normally doesn’t do great with strangers, but he warmed up to Elizabeth immediately. He also usually doesn’t eat much when staying away from home, but he was comfortable enough around Elizabeth to eat normally. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We’re so grateful to Elizabeth and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet!

This was my second time booking with Krystal. Ace enjoyed his stay and even made a friend while staying for a few days. Krystal sent pictures and communicated with me while I was away which I appreciated. I definitely recommend using her services and if I need a sitter I’ll be reaching out again. Thank you again Krystal!!!

Connie and Terry were wonderful with our dog Sam. They were so sweet and loving with him. It felt like we left him with family. They sent thorough updates with pictures each day and we could tell Sam was having a great time and was being so well cared for. It is clear that Connie and Terry are true dog people and really enjoy their time with them. We are so grateful that we found them!

I was beyond impressed with how much I could tell that she loved dogs. I was actually pretty nervous about leaving Tonic with a pet sitter, first time jitters. But I'm extremely pleased to say that those fears were unwarranted. I would gladly rebook her and I will definitely be recommending her to my friends.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Melvindale on Rover is $44.39 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,662 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Melvindale. About 93% of Melvindale sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
