“Tara was great. We were nervous to leave our dog since it was the first time she was ever away from us. Tara provided daily updates and pictures which eased our minds. I will use her again.”
“Harley felt right at home at Karen’s. Karen sent pictures regularly and even FaceTimed one night. We would definitely recommend her to others and plan to use her again next year!”
“Gave us regular updates and helped make what was a chaotic weekend for me and my girlfriend, a nice peaceful getaway with no worries. Can’t thank them enough!”
“Whitley is so great with my dog, Norman. This is the 2nd time I’ve boarded with her and she treats Norman like one of her own. She sends tons of videos and pictures and Norman always comes home happy and exhausted. I will absolutely continue booking with Whitley.”
“Jess was great! Juni came back very happy and I had no worries when she was with her. I got pictures of Juni throughout the week and Jess was very accommodating of our travel plans - both of which were VERY appreciated! Would highly recommend :)”
“Megan watched my 12yr old Maltese for 5 days, and was a wonderful sitter. He came home happy and tired from all his play time with new friends. Bentley looks forward to visiting with Megan and Milo.”
“Efi was amazing! Her and her family provided a safe and inviting space for both boys. She reached out the day before their stay. This let me know that she was serious as she had initiated the contact. She kept us up to date with photos throughout the entire duration of their stay. We had a pretty busy trip, but it was great to receive those updates! She was super flexible about drop-off and pick-up times (within reason) and this was very helpful because our travel plans evolved a bit after having booked. I would 100% recommend her! Thank you so much!”
“Connie and Terry are the absolute best! They took care of our (high maintenance) guy like he was their own, sent us great updates, and were so flexible and understanding. I so appreciate that they didn't make me feel like a bother when I checked in between updates. They unexpectedly had two foster puppies during Wally's stay, but they were certain to ensure they played well together and were separated as needed. Their expansive experience with dogs absolutely shows in how they handled the situation and responded to our dog's vocalizations toward the puppies. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for giving our boy a great vacation and giving us peace of mind on ours!”
“I highly recommend Manu for any dog boarding. She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated with photos. Our shepherd/husky cross is a pretty big and energetic girl, but Manu kept her busy and happy. Manu made everything simple and clearly takes great care of our dog.”
“This was my pup's first stay with Sofia, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the holiday weekend, which really helped me relax knowing my girl was happy and well cared for. Sofia's communication was excellent, and I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave my pup. I'd absolutely book another stay and highly recommend her!”
“Azariah's wonderful - she made sure we and our dog felt comfortable with her and was respective of our dog's reactivity to other dogs. She posted updates & pix and was very responsive and punctual.”
“Alexandra and Georgi were the absolute best. They took my pup on tons of walks and made sure that he felt right at home with them. They also sent me texts and pictures throughout his stay so that I could see how he was doing. I can’t wait to have my pup stay with them again.”
“Angela is communicative, kind and friendly. I’ve never used Rover before and I am so happy I did. My dog Sammy is high energy and a bit needy so I was nervous. But it worked out great and I was so glad to see everyday that Sammy was in great hands and having fun. A++++ THANK YOU”
“Lindsey was an incredibly caring and loving caregiver for my senior pug. She thoughtfully updated us with pictures and updates while we were away and she was very flexible with pickup and drop off times. So happy we found her. ♡”
“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.”
“Repeat customer since 2019. Dawn is amazing! She treats my fur baby like her own and probably spoils him a little more. She’s patient, kind and dependable. We love Dawn! 🐾🫶🏾”
“Natalia and her husband took AMAZING care of our dog Sam. He loved every second there. They were very accommodating with pick up/drop off times. I will definitely being taking Sam back to them next time we need a sitter.”

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.

There are 1,653 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.

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.
