“Our baby who is just 4 months old, untrained and not socialized stayed with Sharon for a week. Sharon and Albert did an amazing job of taking care of her and working with her. She came home trained in many areas ? Thank you Sharon and Albert!!”
“SO GRATEFUL for knowing my 86 pound AmStaff loves going by Michelle’s house. I honestly feel guilty picking him up. He gets lots of love and attention and most of the time there are other dogs to play with. He has a blast. Michelle keeps Kota’s routine by having him sleep in his crate and feeds him twice a day like he is used to. I love all the photos and videos she sends while we are away. Kota is already begging us to book another vacation so he can go back by Michelle!”
“I’m extremely happy with my dog sitting experience for my dog, Princess. Sophia took excellent care of her and sent me daily pictures of her. This was my first time leaving my baby in a stranger’s care. Sophia was very responsive from the first contact online. She reassured me that Princess would be cared for and loved. She was not wrong. We visited for about 15 minutes when I dropped her off and she put me at ease. I would definitely use Sophia again and highly recommend her.”
“Sara's is the perfect place for our dog, Maggie. There's lots of open space and fresh air, a lovely pond and a great covered patio where she can be outdoors and supervised. We previously had experience with a dog sitter who took in a large number of dogs at the same time as Maggie, and Maggie reacted negatively to that situation. We sincerely appreciate the fact that Sara is willing to limit Maggie's visit to just Maggie and Sara's own sweet dog. Maggie gets lots of walks, lots of love and attention, and comes home happy. We will continue to use Sara as our go-to, favorite dog sitter!”
“Colleen and her husband are lovely people and treated our Maltipoo like he was their own. She is very knowledgeable and intuitive and a real dog lover. My little dog even looked back at her when we got into the car! What a lucky find 🐶”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Irina took very good care of our 12-year-old dog for 8 nights. Irina made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. I got updates and photos while we were away and my dog came home very happy. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog in her care again. Thanks Irina!”

“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”
“Lots of photo and video updates! Sharon & Henry are so kind and the dogs really feel safe with them. The extra love and care to make sure my boys felt safe after we moved here and it was my first time going out of town, made us all feel so much better. 10/10 would recommend booking with them!”
“We love having our pooch stay with Cassidy - she provides such a loving home environment and lots of walks and attention! Our girl always comes back very relaxed and happy.”
“Thank you so much Maisy for taking care of our pup over the weekend! We knew he was in excellent hands and reassured that he was receiving so much love from your family. We will definitely contact you for future bookings!!”
“ManDog had the best time at Nanci's place. He was happy and loved, he romped around with small friends, and we got some fun action shots of his stay (plus a sweet selfie) from Nanci. If there were more stars to give, you'd get them all Nanci. Thank you for taking such good care of our little guy.”
“Words can't describe how amazing this family is! They treat your dog like their own and go above and beyond to make you and your pup feel comfortable. Their kids are adorable and are so sweet with dogs. Our little pup didn't want to leave. Highly recommend! If I could give more stars I would!”
“Adrienne was absolutely amazing with our 9 week old pitty and we won't be looking to anyone else in the future! She treated her like she was her own and sent frequent updates, pics and even videos! Highly recommend her to anyone wanting amazing care for their fur baby.”
“Daria and Sofia were so kind and incredibly attentive and provided outstanding care for my dogs. I rarely leave my pets, so I was naturally nervous, but meeting with Daria before my work trip completely put my mind at ease. Throughout my time away, they sent frequent updates and pictures, which kept me reassured. Because my dogs were out of their routine, they initially refused to eat. Daria and Sofia grew worried when the dogs wouldn't touch their food, so they kindly stepped in. After checking with me first, they prepared a homemade chicken and rice dish— a special meal I occasionally cook to spark their appetite. I am so grateful for their extra effort; they truly went above and beyond. As a newcomer to the area, I am thrilled to have found the perfect sitters for my furbabies and have already booked them for another stay in a few weeks. I highly recommend their services! 😃”
“Tamara is the best! We always book with her when we go on vacation and need a sitter for our Lily. She is great with communication, sending daily pics so we can see our girl is doing well. Always know we can relax and enjoy our time away when she has our dog. Definitely recommend Tamara! ❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Motor City home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Motor City.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Motor City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 CA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
