“Alicia was so good to our Bailey girl! We got regular updates and pictures. Our girl was spoiled with tons of attention and care! We will definitely be booking with Alicia again!”
“Another great stay at Cynthia’s! Our three dogs are a lot! Not only are they loud and rambunctious, but one of them has special health needs that require extra attention. Cynthia always goes above and beyond to make sure they are properly cared for and gives them so much love and affection! They are always happy to see her and she makes her home so comfortable for them. They feel like it’s their own! She has been our go-to sitter for the last 2-3 years and so lucky to have found her!”

“This is our second time leaving our two attention loving dogs with Elaine and again we could not be happier! Elaine sent us immediate updates to let us know our boy and girl acclimated with no problems. She then continued with updates and photos to help us knowing that we missed our pups. It allowed us to really enjoy our short trip knowing that our Lynus and Gracie were getting the attention and care that they deserve. Thank you, Elaine!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life whether it’s my family dogs, volunteering at the pound, or watching friends dogs. My wife and I love dogs, but aren’t ready for our own yet. I am a corporate pilot with a lot of time at home, so I am trying to fill that time with something I love! I am a corporate pilot that averages 10 days worked per month, so I have 2/3s of the month at home. The days worked vary what days of the week, but I am looking to fill my time with something I love. I am very patient with animals. I don’t treat them like a pet. If Im watching them at my apartment, innovation hills park is next to me for walking. There is an enclosed dog park to let them run and even a dog bath station if they get dirty. If I am watching at your home I will be respectful to your home and rules that you provide. I’m an avid walker, so walks aren’t a problem. I would never take a dog on a walk in the summer without bringing water for them.
“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”
“Shivambika was very responsive when our dog was with her for three days. We received updates daily and our dog was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again for future trips!”

Miranda and Erica looked after our Molly for two weeks. We really appreciated their communication with pictures and videos every day. We had originally booked a commercial boarding site but am so happy we found Miranda and Erica so Molly got personal attention. We've already signed Molly up for her next visit!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
