“Our dog Daisy had a great stay. We were sent photos and up dates periodically through out each day. She always looked happy, playing, eating or resting. She came home happy and healthy. We would absolutely recommend and book again!”
“Caroline is the BEST petsitting experience I have ever had. She sent me multiple photos and videos per day and made me feel reassured as I was on my trip. She loved on my dog just as much as I do (maybe more!! Lol). Very responsive, communicative - I highly, highly recommend using Caroline for your petsitting needs! Will happily use Caroline again to watch Winnie in the future. :)”
“Lauren and Cris always take such wonderful care of our dog, send adorable updates, and are very flexible to coordinate with! Our dog even squeaks with excitement when we pull into their place, he loves visiting! I would highly recommend them :)”
“My dog always has a great time staying here. He gets plenty of playtime and exercise, is well cared for, and enjoys his boarding. Maria provides clear communication and pictures during the stay so we know he’s in good hands!”
“Catherine and family boarded our dog over the Fourth of July holiday. He had a great stay! We received regular communication with photos and felt that he was getting lots of attention.”
“We were so pleased with Jen and her husbands care and affection for our dogs! They loved on our 2 mastiffs for 5 days while we were out of town. She kept in touch with pictures and updates and gave my husband peace of mind knowing the dogs were never alone. We would most definitely book again with them. We appreciate you both so much! The drive to you was so worth it?”
“Rachel was wonderful. She was attentive and caring to my much older dog that recently experienced some trauma in other boarding settings. Rachael helped her to adjust to the transition of staying in a new place and she sent regular photos and reports of her progress. When I picked up my dog, Rachel and her partner provided what felt like honest feedback back regarding some limitations my dog experienced with other animals at their house as well as shared behaviors they observed that I didn’t know my dog did until the two day visit with them. First instance - learned my dog definitely would hunt a cat if given the chance - this is useful intel future bookings. I definitely recommend Rachel to anyone.”
“Jayden did a great job with the drop-ins over the long holiday weekend. He communicated well, was easy to work with, and both pups looked happy after each check-in. We’ll definitely book Kayden again!”
“Our puppy Eleanor had a great time with Kayden! It's clear that Kayden loves and understands dogs. Lastly, Kayden was also extremely helpful and understanding, as we were rather forgetful with some items.”
“Tanu was an amazing dog sitter for our dog Kevin. She was so attentive, sent very frequent updates and pictures, and clearly is a big dog lover. We will without a doubt, be asking her to dog sit our dog in the future!”
“Brece was amazing with our dog! He kept us updated throughout the stay with photos. He made sure to understand all of Minnie's quirks and was more than accommodating. It is so worth driving from Lansing (or other places!) to have him take care of your pup! You could tell Minnie was so happy to be with him. I would definitely recommend Brece!”
“Winston had a great time with Teresa! Teresa took excellent care of Winston and sent us updates to let us know how he was doing. We will definitely leave Winston in Teresa’s capable hands again soon!”
“Teresa and her husband were especially attentive to our dog. They took care of her as she was their own. We are so appreciative to have someone so caring. Thank you being there when our dog needed you the most.”
“Nicole and her family were wonderful!! They took great care of my Pointer Stella and she had a good experience. They sent me pictures of Stella with Nicole’s family and her friendly pets. I would most definitely recommend her to any of my friends or whoever reads this! I will definitely be bringing Stella back for more visits!”
“Anya and Tye took great care of my dog Pippa while we were away on vacation. The pics/videos were nice and seeing her running around with their dog in a park nearby was reassuring. Definitely will use them in the future and recommend them to family/friends!”

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.
95% of sitters in Ridgeway 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 Ridgeway 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 Ridgeway.
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 Ridgeway. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Ridgeway 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.
