“Julie and Joe were the best. I don’t leave my girl (Teka) with just anybody. She is a 15 year standard poodle and they have her insulin shots and very well cared for. I would recommend them for anyone. Dave and Janell Gage”
“Becky is kind, friendly, and professional. She sent lots of picture of my very happy dog. I am am so very happy with her service and highly recommend! Thank you thank you thank you”
“Chippy seemed to have a good time with her stay! We were happy to receive photos and a video of her as well. This was only her second time staying somewhere, would stay again!”
“Alexia was fantastic! She knew that we wanted updates on our fur baby while away on vacation so she sent us updates daily. We also paid a little extra to get our baby groomed before bringing him home and she did amazing! We could tell that he had a fantastic time with her while we were gone. Definitely recommend! Will use again if needed. Thank you!!”
“Catherine was so great with our girls. She sent an update each night and spent time with our puppy working on training which we super appreciated. Would definitely recommend her to family and friends. 😊”
“We had a great experience booking with Katherine. She was super friendly and our pups loved hanging out at their farm. Katherine sent us daily photos and kept us up to date on how they were doing. Willow, who is our sensitive pup, didn't want to leave and we could tell she was super happy with her stay. We will happily book with them in the future!”
“Anthony was fantastic to work with! Communication was great. He clearly knows a lot about dogs and is passionate about taking care of them as if they were his own. Highly recommend!”
About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.
“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our dog while we were away for a week. We loved all the updates she would share and I could see that our dog was very well cared for and absolutely loved staying with Amy. Thank you so much!”
“I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care Robert provided to Max during two-week stay. I am a returned customer and know that my furry friend was in good hands. Your professionalism and commitment to providing top-notch care are greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for everything you did to make my dog's time away from home a positive experience”
“Our dog Daisy was very well cared for. This was her first time being away from family and she took to Bree and her husband right away at the meet and greet. That initial interaction was very comforting. We'd love to have Bree sit for Daisy again!”
“Morgan was a great sitter for our Shih Tzu, Elsa. Elsa is an older dog with residual issues from being rescued from a puppy mill 6 years ago. She’s very timid, is missing several teeth, and is totally deaf. Morgan sent us pictures and texted that Elsa was settled in and doing just fine. It was a wonderful experience for all. ❤️”
“Sarah is a warm and delightful human who clearly loves dogs. We were waiting for the green light from my husband's doctor for a fishing trip before we could book Pivo's weekend with her, but of course we needed to find someone beforehand who could take him if it was a go. Sarah was very kind, patient and accommodating, answering all messages quickly, and it all worked out! Pivo and her two little doggies hit it off right away (a relief, since a meet-and-greet the day before didn't go well - you just never know with doggies) so we felt great about finally being able to book with her. He was calm and tired when we picked him up, a good indicator that he had plenty of exercise. We don't travel a lot but will definitely call Sarah next time we do. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Krystal is wonderful with dogs and very understanding of their different quirks. She was able to help me out last minute over the Christmas holiday and I couldn’t be more thankful. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Our dog just stayed 2 nights with Jaisree. I felt so comfortable leaving our girl with her. She has a beautiful home and very private yard. We would definitely leave our dog with her again. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates and truly seemed to enjoy her time with our girl. Thank you Jaisree!”

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.
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.
98% of sitters in Parkville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Parkville home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Parkville.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parkville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Parkville 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
