“Steven is great with Prince. Always welcoming and hospitable even when last minute care is needed. Definitely recommend as we’ll continue utilizing his service for our boarding needs.”
“This is my second stay with Rahied and just like the first time he was AWESOME! He took care of my pet just like his own and went above and beyond for my pup. I even had a last second change to our trip and he was more than accommodating! I’ll only use Rahied”
“Very warm and caring sitter. She messaged me with picture, video's and text updates throughout her time with him. That made my family feel even more comfortable with leaving our Leo. Highly recommend!”
“Frieda was a happy girl when she came home. She seemed to have enjoyed her stay. Anna was flexible and worked with Frieda's need to be with people. We appreciate Anna's ability to accommodate Frieda's needs. Would love to use Anna again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I can say that it surpass my expectations ! Jess did an awesome job taking care of Leo and she sent me daily updates and pictures on Leo's daily adventures ! I would definitely consider Jess to take care of Leo again.”
“Sydney took exceptional care of our 7yr. old, mini golden doodle. She is prompt, courteous and wonderfully warm with people and pets alike. From our first meeting, I knew our dog was in great hands, which made our time away relaxing and worry-free. Her communication and photo updates were top-notch throughout the stay. This was our dog's first time staying with Sydney and we look forward to booking with her again!”
“I cannot recommend Gabrielle enough! We needed a sitter QUICK for a last minute trip. Not only did she respond right away & meet us same day, but she absolutely treated our fur baby as one of her own. Between the constant pics & video updates, we knew our baby girl was in great (and knowledgeable) hands ☺️ we couldn’t have dreamed of a better sitter! Our pup loved her pups & we’ve already decided we’ll use Gabrielle again & again. Thanks for making our trip worry-free!!!”
“Samantha was great! It can be a little nerve-wracking when you need to find a new pet sitter but we could tell Roxy was in good hands with her. Roxy seemed comfortable and happy and Samantha kept us updated and informed during her stay. We would be happy to use Samantha for pet sitting again when the need arises.”
“This was our second stay and we are still happier than ever. Izzy is well taken care of and loved while with Alexandra & Georgi. We can’t thank you enough!”
“They were fantastic! I felt like I left my dogs in great and capable hands. They were great with keeping me updated and sending photos. Very responsive and flexible with me. Would definitely use them again.”
“Sam totally and completely exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter and caregiver! Honestly, I was nervous about using Rover to find someone to watch our pit mix, Thelma Lou. She's a rescue and we're the third (and final!) home she's had, so we knew we didn't want to board her at a traditional facility. We also weren't sure how she would get along with other dogs. When we first reached out to Sam, I told her that we were open to boarding, but would prefer to have her drop in on Thelma. Sam really encouraged us to board Thelma with her and after our meet-and-greet, we were convinced! Sam was so positive, patient, and caring with our girl. And she did awesome at helping Thelma socialize with her dogs! Where Sam truly went above and beyond, was helping us make our wedding day special! The reason we had initially reached out was to have her watch Thelma Lou for our wedding. We had originally wanted to have her be a part of our ceremony, but ultimately decided that it would be too overwhelming for her. We then decided that we'd like to have her in our photos and Sam suggested that we add on a pick-up/drop-off service. Sam drove 45+ minutes (with today's insane gas prices!) to bring Thelma up to our venue for about an hour of pictures. She did such a good job and even brought toys and extra treats to get Thelma's attention and winning smiles! Bonus! Sam is taking classes to become a trainer - and it shows in the way she works with her pets. We will DEFINITELY be working with her again in the future! Thank you, Sam!”
“We’ve left our shepherd with Chris and Cassandra a handful of times this summer and every single time has been stellar. Very knowledgeable and keeps us very updated with our shepherd’s wellbeing. Having dogs of their own is also great since it gives our boy a chance to socialize and feel part of a pack. Can’t say enough good things about these two!”
“Veronica was simply amazing! From start to finish; Excellent communication, very attentive and transparent with expectations. Home very neat and clean and kept us updated daily with adorable pics and videos of T3ddy (Teddy) having a great time. I felt our pup was in a safe, warm, clean loving environment. Veronica is highly recommended that your fur baby will be respected and cared for.”
“Susan did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Ash! From the first time Ash and I met Susan, i knew she was the right fit for Ash’s care while i was away. Susan’s home and yard are secured, neat and tidy and perfectly designed to care and house dogs and pets. On a daily basis i got updates from Susan regarding Ash’s care and well being. I just can’t say enough good things about Susan and how she cared for my dog, with that being said, i highly recommend her to others looking for short term dog care and boarding!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my 9-month-old puppy! She was absolutely amazing—so kind, patient, and clearly experienced with young dogs. I got regular updates and pictures, which helped me feel totally at ease while I was away. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I could tell she truly treated her like one of her own. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We were delighted to board our little Duncan with Anirudhh Sai T. We had made vacation plans at the last minute and they were so willing to help us out and take care of Duncan. Everyone at the house was so polite and pleasant. Anirudhh sent lots of photos and a few videos, too! I felt that Duncan was very well cared for and was happy in their home for the time he stayed there. We will gladly use their services again!”
“Dawn took fantastic care of my baby! She came home beautifully tired out from playing with Dawn's own fur babies. Dawn provided informative daily updates that kept my mind completely at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“We always know Hazel is in good hands when she stays with Monica. She always takes such great care of her and is easy to communicate with. She’s our go to dog sitter when we’re out of town.”

I would give Megan 10 stars if I could. She was so sweet and caring to my baby boy. He had the best time with her and her baby Jim and was so sad to be leaving his new found buddy. She sent pictures and videos through the day which warmed my heart so much. I will only be calling on Megan to watch my Charlie from here on out. Thank you again!
Sydney is wonderful to Gus (my shadow who suffers from separation anxiety) - her dog Bernie is the sweetest and Gus loves his trips to see Sydney and Bernie - Sydney treats Gus like her own, sends us pics and videos and updates and this makes our family getaways so much more enjoyable knowing Gus in in such great care. So grateful to have found her!
Emily is an absolute rockstar and the sweetest human!!! She took such wonderful care of my baby! I just moved to the area and don’t have people I can rely on. I have always left my dog with people I know and trust so this was a difficult transition for me to ask a stranger to watch my literal child, but Emily was so warm and kind and is definitely an animal lover through and through. She treated Delilah as her own and gave her so much attention and care. I got so many updates as well that filled all the gaps of missing my little girl. I will be using Emily moving forward HAPPILY. Thank you so much for being so reliable and attentive to my old lady, she is so obsessed with you ❤️
From our initial meet and greet, I had no question in my mind that Gabby would be in good hands with Vicki and William and their puppy. Ruby. Vicki's home is super dog friendly and Gabby was made to feel right at home. Vicki sent me photos everyday and I could tell Gabby was comfortable and having fun. Which made me at ease on my vacation knowing there was no need to worry about anything . When I went to pick up Gabby she was in bed and had to be nudged. She was so comfortable she didn't want to leave 🥰 Thank you Vicki. I sure am glad I found you on Rover.
My dog absolutely loved her stay with Rachel! Rachel and her husband Jeff treated my dog like she was one of their own. Rachel was great about providing daily video updates, and every video I got my dog’s tail was nonstop wagging! Rachel finds creative and thoughtful ways to keep the dogs entertained. I was away for a week and felt so comfortable knowing my dog was well cared for and having such a fun time.
Susan and her husband Alan are amazing! They took incredible care of our two dogs, gave them so much love & attention and provided tons of cute updates frequently throughout my dogs’ stay. It was so comforting knowing my dogs were in excellent hands! I can’t imagine leaving my pups anywhere else!
Kimberly was super kind and accommodating!! My pup is people shy but he warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even had different toys and treats to gauge his interests. You can tell her heart is in this. I got consistent updates and i felt like my dog was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!!
Andrea was amazing and I cannot recommend enough! She helped me out when I was in a last minute bind and took my dog with one day notice. She sent me pictures and updates daily and kept me in the loop on how my dog was doing. Andrea is the most kind and my pup came home happy! We will absolutely use her in the future.

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.
95% of sitters in Pleasant Ridge 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 Pleasant Ridge 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 Pleasant Ridge.
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 Pleasant Ridge. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Pleasant Ridge 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.
