“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“5 stars for Lea and her family! Ellie had such a great stay there while we were away on a camping trip! Very communicative, easy to arrange pickup/dropoff and super friendly family overall. We will be using Lea in the future for sure. Thank you Lea!!”
“Katie was excellent throughout the week while Bonnie was in her care!! she sent me photos every day, with updates. Honestly, it gave me such a peace of mind, knowing that she was with a family that was loving on her.”
“Kristin, is incredible!! She made our Golden Retriever who has a lot of anxiety very comfortable and right at home the entire time. She provided excellent communication on a daily basis and was incredibly accommodating, professional and caring. If I could give 6 stars I would!! Thank you Kristin!!!”
“at first, I was very nervous, because Bailey had never met them, but is soon as he entered the home he felt so comfortable I we got pictures and updates the whole time and pictures said it all‼️ Our little furry boy was happy we had a fun time at the wedding, much more relaxed, knowing that he was safe , loved up and taken care of‼️? Cyndi Hetter”
“I can't say enough how well Katey took care of my Daisy. Daisy tends to get worked up when she's in unfamiliar surroundings but it didn't take long for her to settle down with Katey. Katey sent daily photos and videos and I could see how Daisy had calmed down and made herself at home not long after she was dropped off. I highly recommend Katey.”
“I am very comfortable with leaving my two dogs with Kimberly and Rich. I know they’re in good hands and I don’t need to worry about them. My dogs love coming over and playing with their friends. Thanks again! Until next time…”
“Shawna was a great sitter, very communicative and very great with the updates everyday ! I had a very long trip so it was much appreciated. A kitten is a handful and she was great with my little rascal 😊😊”
“If you need a sitter for your beloved little one, then book with Yvonne…She is trustworthy, kind and very caring for my Emma…She sent pictures every day…easy communication with her and I will definitely use her again…My Emma had fun with her children, went for walks and was loved by her family…but most of all, I was at total ease and stress free when my husband and I went on vacation…I can’t thank her enough!!!”
“Robert took such good care of my girl! I was so nervous at first about her being away but he made sure it was updated and she was comfortable and well taken care of. My dog even got a chance to make some new friends which is amazing. Thank you again so much! I look forward to the next time babygirl has to go somewhere”
“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”

“Andria and her family were so accommodating and helpful with our senior dog. He came back to us well cared for and calm...which means he was rested and taken care of. She also sent pictures of him while he was at her house. I would highly recommended Andria to anyone!”
“Great dog watchers! First time leaving her with someone over night. My dog Stella apparently has terrible separation anxiety! Diane and Duncan took care of her and helped her get over some of that anxiety. I will definitely use them again. Thank you !”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Pattie was amazing and truly heaven sent. She was wonderful with my pup and treated her like her own. Pattie also sent us updates frequently and just made it very comfortable for us. I suffer from somewhat separation anxiety when we leave town for vacations and leave my pup. Pups are like your children and Pattie treated her as such! Pattie made this experience very pleasant and my pup loved her. I will be booking with Pattie again!”
“Nea’s time with Mary went so well! We will definitely book with Mary in the future. She sent pictures videos of Nea while we were away and also sent us texts everyday letting us know how she was doing. Nea came home tired from getting to play with Mary’s sweet dogs. We are grateful she had a great time. Thank you!”
“Alisa was great! Very informative during our introductory call. Easy drop off and pick up even with me not being there physically to drop them off. She sent lots of photos i can definitely tell my two dogs were happy and in a pet loving home. I’d definitely recommend Alisa to anyone!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,202 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rockwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Rockwood sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Rockwood landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rockwood 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 Rockwood.
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.
You and your Rockwood 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.
