“Allesha is great with my dog, Diesel. Diesle was taken on walks regularly, and cared for well. He also had a great time playing with Allesha’s dogs and had good friends”
“Birdie has taken great care of my cat on 2 separate occasions. She gives frequent updates and sends pictures/videos of your pet. I will definitely be asking Birdie for pet care again in the future!”
“Alisa was awesome. She keeps you informed on how your pet is doing. My dog loved her and she took very good care of his needs. I would definitely use her again. And i recommend her to any pet owner. It was my first time using a pet sitter. It was a good experience. Our pets are family and it's comforting to know they are treated good. Thanks again.??”
“Karen was a great sitter. This was a return visit for us. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. She was able to handle my anxious dog with ease and even helped when our flight was delayed. Will use again.”
“Our two dogs came home happy and tired from their visit with Kim. Kim sent pictures of them every day. Her yard and house is perfect for visiting pups. Kim was very prompt with questions and information during their stay. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Amanda is 100 out of 10!!!! She provides a clean safe environment for my fur baby! She is so attentive and nurturing! Zane ABSOLUTELY loves and adores Amanda! My heart is always at peace when my fur baby stays with Amanda 💖 I know he is with someone who will not mistreat him!!! Thanks Amanda!!!!!”
“Wow! Kristin is amazing. She cared for our dog for two weeks including her daily walks and playing with her all while keeping us informed with daily pictures and videos. Her daily updates helped us know our pup was doing well.”
“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!”
“I want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such great care of Donatello! When we adopted him we had already had a family trip planned. We were nervous to find care for him but Anthony took it on with ease! We got so many pictures and videos we felt like we knew where he was at all times and we could see he was enjoying his puppy buddy. Would highly recommend Anthony!!!”
“My dog had a great time with Lauren and Cris. He was well taken care of and I can tell he's really bonded with them both in a short amount of time. They are always super responsive and easy to work with.”
“My big ole boy had a wonderful time! George kept me updated with sweet pics and funny stories about Harrison’s stay. I was completely at peace while on vacation! ♥️”
“Shannon was very good with our dog. She kept us posted on how he was doing with posts through Rover and lots of pictures. I could tell our dog felt at home with her and we found her communication and service with our dog to be top notch!! We will definitely use her again. A+ and very grateful.”
“Mina it's been my only Pet-Sitter since I found her. Her family treats too well my 2 pups, I honestly feel they love to be with her son and pup Billy more than with us lol.”
“This was Josie’s second stay with Maureen. It was another exceptional stay. Josie had a number of walks and snuggle times on the couch. Maureen is wonderful about sending pictures so we can see how much fun Josie is having. Thank you, Maureen, for taking such good care of our Josie!”
“My wife and I were traveling out of town and couldn't bring our dog Chloe with us. We found Andria and her husband here on Rover and felt that they would be a great fit with Chloe, and boy, we were right! Once we booked, she suggested a meet-and-greet, and we really appreciated that. We discussed expectations for boarding and Chloe's needs and routines. When it was time for Chloe's stay, drop off was stress-free, and we felt confident driving away that Chloe was in good hands. During our travels, we received regular photo updates of Chloe's adventures during her stay. We also appreciated Andria and her family including Chloe in their daily routine and providing enrichment, so that Chloe wasn't just sitting in the house by herself. When we picked Chloe up, we got a full rundown of Chloe's stay. We could tell Chloe had a great time with them. I would highly recommend Andria as a Rover provider, especially for boarding. And, for those flying in and out of DTW, definitely consider Andria since she's close to DTW airport!”
“Andrew was a fantastic sitter for our girl Bailey. He was always responsive and great to work with. We received many photos and videos each day showing Bailey happy and active. We would recommend Andrew and use him again.”
“Katie kept us up to date on how Pumpkin was doing. Dog was relaxed and happy upon her return home and in all the pictures sent. Communication was great. We have another booking later this summer.”
“Laura & Manuel were great! We were out of the country for 10 days and they were sure to send pictures every few days to let us know our Moose was settled in and going great at his "vacation family" home. They had us do a meet and greet prior to his stay and ensured he would be a good fit in their home. If we ever need somewhere to send Moose for a night away or another vacation, they will be our number one pick!”
“Andrew took amazing care of our dog!! He was extremely proactive ahead of time by doing a meet and greet and accommodating specific requests. He communicated regularly during the stay with pictures and videos. He went above and beyond by reinforcing our dog’s training during his stay. Andrew took it in stride when our dog rolled in something smelly and returned him to us bathed and happy :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,217 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.
96% 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.
