“Kayla took great care of my baby Chico. She was very nice and sent messages and updates the whole time during his stay with her. I would definitely recommend her. My dog don’t even walk with me because he’s lazy and he was walking with her. She’s the dog whisperer. Love her”

About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”

“Teddy had such a great time with Tara, her family, and her pups! He made friends and had a blast with them. She sent me pictures and a video while we were away which we appreciated so much. Tara is so amazing with animals and I would totally have her watch Teddy again! Thank you so much Tara.”

Jamie and her husband took wonderful care of Mistral! Communication was excellent throughout his stay, and they sent me photos. They even surprised Mistral with a few of their daughter's soft balls to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. I would absolutely recommend Jamie and her husband to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you both!
David did an amazing job with Rocky! He kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky adjusted quickly, had a great time, and it was clear he felt safe and well cared for. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
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.

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.
