“With my first puppy I quickly became worried i'd never be able to take a vacation. George eased my own separation anxiety and I was comfortable taking my first day trip away from my 8 month old puppy knowing she was safe and cared for.”
“I couldn’t possibly be happier with my dog’s experience at Teresa’s home. From our meet and greet a few days ago to daycare today, Teresa has been nothing but kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming to my dog and my family. Her dogs were a great mix of playful and chill - my pup is worn out this evening, haha. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I thought about daycare for my new rescue dog. Many more playdates to come. 🙂 It’s so comforting knowing she was in excellent hands.”
“Samantha was amazing! My husband and I took Maru to Michigan and needed someone to watch her while we attended an event. Maru spent two days with Samantha’s family, and we picked her up at nights. Our puppy is almost 6 months old and hadn’t been around many people or dogs, but Samantha and her family gave her outstanding care and great socialization. Maru came back to us happy and loved. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone who wants their dog to be safe, happy, and well-socialized while they’re away.”
About: I have trained, watched, worked with, handled, and loved on every temperament of pet from lovable couch potatoes, anxiety ridden, hospice care, and animals that do not do well with other people or animals for over 20 years. Through those years I have worked with rescues, dog shows, dog sports, and training and raising puppies and adults that have helped me to become an extremely understanding, patient, and proficient behaviorist and trainer I am to this day. Anything from walks, training, medical needs, behavioral needs, bathing, or just simple understanding is my expertise with animals, primarily dogs. I do have a full time job, however animal care is a top priority. I also have a partner (who is also verified on rover and a former veterinarian technician) that lives with me, which leaves me able to board, train, doggy daycare, or any need a family might need while seeking a pet sitter for their beloved pet/s. If your pet/s is boarding at my home, I have a fenced in yard with multiple types of animals that are all very well behaved and trained. I have a separate space in my kitchen for your pet/s or I do crate dogs at night time and place cats in a separate, closed area at night for your pet/s comfortability in a new environment. If I care for your pet/s at their home, they will have the comfort and safety of their regular routine at their home while you have the peace of mind that not only are your pet/s taken care of but so is your home while away. Following medical need instructions and able to administer any meds will be adhered to in the utmost manner. Whether your pet/s are at my home or yours for overnights, day time drop ins, or daytime doggy daycare they are treated with the highest level of patience and respect. Pet/s will also have numerous potty breaks, multiple walks if they need, and some good ol fashion playtime and love.
“Jennifer and her visiting sister, Joni, took amazing care of our Corgi and Cockapoo for the day. Jennifer's home and yard are perfect for furrbabies. The girls had the best time and were completely exhausted when we picked them up. We would definitely book with Jennifer again.”
“This was my first time having someone other than my dad watch my puppy as normally my dog doesn't react well to anyone other than him. However, we both needed to attend the same event this time and I am so glad to have found this great sitter. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dialachelle was incredibly responsive and proactive from start to finish. She was prepared at the meet and greet with a pup cup and my normally reactive puppy warmed up to her right away. Her experience as a flight nanny, being calm and understanding when my puppy had an accident during the meet and greet, and professionalism solidified that she would be a great fit. She went above and beyond, walking my puppy every hour and sending regular photo updates. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Currently, we have 4 dogs. I've had great experiences with Rover and would like to provide the same care we have received. I have been around all ages of dogs - my children (10 years old and 11 years old) absolutely love animals. From puppies to senior care, we will make sure your fur-baby has a comfortable, playful stay! I am currently staying at home with the kids and homeschooling. Someone will be home unless we run to the store. We are very consistent taking our dogs out with a fenced in yard. I have a fenced in yard - animals are allowed on furniture. We don't crate our animals but we are able to if that is your baby's routine.
“Katie was great with our small old dog! She sent several pictures and updates and was clearly very gentle and caring and attentive. We'll definitely be using her again!”
About: I am an animal lover, a mother of 2, an aspiring writer, and love taking long walks. My children are having a great time getting to know different dogs and bonding with them like they were our own. I was fortunate enough to love and care for a special needs dog for 13 years and miss my time with him. I understand the importance of not leaving your pets alone all day long and look forward to providing some lucky dog with all the cuddles, play time, exercise, and gentle discipline they require while enriching the lives of my children and I. I would love to get to know your furry friend and look forward to learning about their particular needs and how I can help them. It's almost like you are doing me a favor! Pet care is literally my job. My only other obligations are caring for my children, which fits well with caring for pets. We are active and enjoy spending our days moving, walking, and having fun. I live in an upstairs condo with my children. I generally take 4 walks a day with dogs in my home. I have older cats who will stay hidden while your dog is here. If you allow it, I may bake your dogs healthy treats during the stay. When I visit your home, I want things to remain looking untouched, and I will clean up any messes your pet has made or does make while I’m there. This includes sweeping litter, cleaning urine and vomit and poo, vacuuming pet hair after a good petting, and cleaning up things your pet may have “stress chewed”. I do have school runs in the morning and afternoon. If your dog likes the car, they are welcome to come along. Otherwise, I’m get really home all day. At my home, we try to provide lots of attention through play, petting, or just companionship, and walks throughout the day to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and healthy. I’ll be sure to follow whatever instructions you provide and send periodic updates so you know what your dog has been up to. When I visit your home, I will again, follow your instructions and give your pet the attention it needs.
“Terri is always my 1st choice when it comes to hiring a dog sitter to care for my pups! She loves dogs and it shows because my pups love her! I always give Terri a 5-star rating because she deserves it!!”
“Cherry cared for Kona like she was one of her own. She has a huge heart for pets. Her house was all prepped and ready for Konas arrival. I was updated on how Kona was doing through out the day. It was nice to be able to leave Kona with her while I was working.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs, animal care has always been my passion. I’m comfortable and experienced with pets of all kinds! I also have experience caring for pets with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. I’m fully available anytime, and will work around your schedule! I try to be home as much as possible when I have a pet in my care, the longest I would be away is 2-3 hours. I have a fenced yard with a tie out leash! I can also provide walks everyday! I also have plenty of toys for any pet!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for all animals! I pay attention to each pets routine and needs throughout the day. And I will be keeping you updated with pictures and videos on how they are doing. I work from home and have all the free time in the world! And also don’t have any pets right now! So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!! Or if they are the fur baby that likes to relax it’s plenty of clean spots for them in my home ❤️
“Megan was outstanding with Roman. She took great care of him and he was happy to go back and be with her every morning. She also kept me updated with photos and comments throughout the day. Overall, an excellent experience and I will definitely be using her again the next time I am in the Detroit area. Thanks so much, Megan!”
“My dog had a good day with Kayla and was well taken care of for the day. The dogsitter was ver attentive with communication and clearly let me know when I could drop off amd pick up Coby. She understood the instructions I gave for his care and made sure that his ear was taken care of. Coby clearly had fun that day and if I happen to be back in the area, I will definitely look up this dogsitter again.”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Romulus commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,116 sitters in Romulus, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
