“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.”
“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!!”
“David is awesome! He took such great care of Piper! She had a great time, I don’t think she wanted to come home. He sent lots of pictures, which was so nice because I always miss her when I leave. Very grateful for David:)”
“Kim and her husband loved Cooper as if he was their own. While I was gone, she had wonderful communication, sending pictures and videos and giving me updates. They were also flexible with my pick up time knowing I was driving home from a trip. They even offered to drop them off to me. They went out of their way. I would recommend her to anyone rating her over 100%.”
“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!”
“Luna loves staying with Lauren & Kevin. When I dropped her off she ran right to the front door! I love when they send me pictures and Luna is playing or relaxing! Love it!”
“Paula is great. She provides a clean house, has expertise to keep order over the dogs, and has a great fenced yard. This was my first occasion boarding my beloved Bo, and was glad to be able to leave him in a place where he would get to hang with other good-natured dogs and have a yard to play for a change. Paula attended to our needs and my concerns. I wish she were closer for general "play dates", but if you are going to/from DTW, it's a very easy drop off and pick up.”
“Angelique was fantastic! I got regular updates with photos and videos, and it was crystal clear that my dog, Arlo, had a great time with her. I will be booking with her again!”
“Jamie and her husband took wonderful care of Mistral! Communication was excellent throughout his stay, and they sent me photos. They even surprised Mistral with a few of their daughter's soft balls to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. I would absolutely recommend Jamie and her husband to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you both!”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”
“Definitely, Mina is our go-to pet sitter; she and her family are friendly to our dogs. She keeps us updated all the time with videos and pictures of my pups playing with their kid and their dog.”
“Megan was awesome! This was the first time my pup has been away from me. Megan went above and beyond what I expected. She gave me regular updates and pictures. I will definitely have her watch my fur baby again. I recommend her 100%!”
“This was Gibson's first time with Leslie and she was excellent. She was caring and attentive to his needs as a senior fur baby. She took him on walks and sent us pictures of him, which meant a lot to us. The experience for us was great!!”
“Día is fantastic! Ellie, my senior dog, looked so happy with her. She sent a lot of pictures during the day. Ellie stayed with Dia for 15 days and I couldn’t be happier with the way Dia took care of Ellie. Highly recommended.”
“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Jax while we were out of town! We really appreciated all the photo updates they gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Faith to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“I can’t begin to express the love my Romeo and I have for Jailyn! My pup had to do an extended stay since we’re moving and she took care of my baby as if he was her own!! Always keeping me updated with texts and photos! She will always be his sitter!”
“I highly recommend Katie for anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! She and her husband took excellent care of my doggo for a weekend while I was away, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the initial meet-and-greet to the regular updates and photos during my trip, Katie showed exceptional professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. My pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. If you're looking for a reliable, compassionate, and dog-loving sitter, look no further than Katie! I'll definitely be booking with her again for future trips. Five 🐾”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,190 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 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 Rockwood 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 Rockwood home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
