“We had such a great first Rover experience with Shannon! She sent updates and pictures of our dog several times a day, and she was professional from start to finish. We’ll definitely call on her again when we need dog-sitting!”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, so I have the most free time during mornings and evenings. I live in an apartment with my very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.
“Vanessa was great with my dog Ivy. She made me feel comfortable leaving my dog for the first time and my dog took to her right away. She sent me pictures and updates everyday letting me enjoy a relaxing vacation without worry. I will definitely be using Vanessa every time I need a dog sitter!”
“Another great stay with Sofia! She took wonderful care of Oakley for a short overnight, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I appreciated her communication and the care she gave my girl. It’s such a relief to know Oakley is in good hands when I’m away. I’d happily book Sofia again!”
“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.”
“With a few days notice, Diane and Duncan watched my Luna overnight as a first time meeting. In the photos they sent, I could see Luna was happy. They were so kind. Will use them again in the future.”
“I cannot begin to describe how good it was to deal with Rahied. And I’m pretty confident coming home will be a bit of a letdown for Pax 😉. I hope to have reason to do business again.”

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!!!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
