“We were so lucky to find Angela to care for our dog Oliver. She is extremely talented in understanding and caring for dogs. Her daily updates reassured us that Oliver was doing well. We would strongly recommend her services. Doug & Carolyn Caldwell”
“Dawn and Eric were great. I appreciate that they were flexible for drop off and pick up times, and were understanding when we encountered icy road conditions on the way home and needed to pick up later than planned.”
“Christopher is awesome. He is very attentive, he communicates effectively; keeping me up to date on Asas status and activities! Sends lots of pics too. Highly recommend.”
“Amanda was great with bear! We used her when we went on vacation for about a week. Bear is big and full of energy but Amanda did amazing with him! She sent pics and was in contact the entire time. We will be using her again!”
“Kane had another great stay with Steven while I was out of town. Great communication, provides photos and videos. I’ll continue to book with Steven anytime I’m on vacation. Thanks again!”
“Jessica was simply amazing. We’ve never left our girls for any amount of time before and they were there for a week. Jessica was super patient and understanding with our one dog who needed some extra time to get comfortable around other dogs and cats. We were sent daily pictures and updates and videos throughout the week. Initially we were nervous being away from them for so long but we knew they were in good hands. The updates reassured us that they were having an amazing time and enjoyed their vacation at Jessica’s house. I 100% recommend Jessica to watch your dogs, and will be a return customer next time we need her services! Thank you again 🥰”
“Nathan and his family are excellent dog sitters. Duke had a great time. He was sending pictures so I can see how Duke was managing being away from home. I truly appreciate the great care they gave my dog. I’ll definitely use them again.”
“Destiny was very professional, she sent pictures daily of my doggy playing and taking walks. I recommend that you use her services. I felt completely comfortable that my doggy was safe and happy. I’ll be using her services in the near future.”
“Kareema is a very warm and welcoming young lady who was able to take my kitties on fairly short notice. She gave me updates and pictures of my happy kitties which helped my anxiety of having to leave them in someone else's care. My cats were happy and very well attended to under her care. When the time comes that I ever need to have my pets taken care of again, Kareema is my 1st choice. Thank you so much Kareema, Mr. Pickles, Chi-chi Michi, and we appreciate you 😊”
“Janelle was phenomenal with my dog Roxy. She sent the cutest photos, took great care with my dog’s special quirks, and even helped when my dog had a skin problem. She is a strong communicator and treated my pup as her own. I will rebook in an instant. Cannot recommend her enough! Her space is clean and cozy and her neighborhood is full of nature to explore”
“Josh tuned in to my dogs special needs and quirks right away and kept us updated during our 10-day trip. His photos and updates kept us confident our beloved pet was in good hands. Kiki couldn’t have been in better hands.”
“Natalia was amazing! She communicates clearly, was flexible and accomodating and Sammy clearly had a good time in her care. I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
“Nicole was great from the first time we did a meet and greet we felt comfortable having her watch Bailey. On his overnight stay Nicole sent cute pics and updates that we really appreciated. We look forward to having her watch Bailey again.”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
About: My name is Margene. I’ve been rescuing dogs since I was four years old. I am 58 years old. I’ve been an empty nest for quite a minute now I wanna bring them all home with me, but I can’t so my husband said it’s OK if I pet it he loves the animals just as much as I do so we just want to share the security we have given the animals we’ve had for the past 40 years that we’ve been together. We have an amazing backyard double a lot privacy fenced in all the way around. We have a lot of outside time and we have doggy strollers. We have beds. We have everything you need. We mainly let our dogs run the house, but if that’s not your thing and you’d rather them be contained, I can work with you. I don’t like it, but I don’t try to tell somebody else to do what I do. So just so you know we allow our dogs on the couch the bed as long as we don’t have company I clean daily. I use all organic natural dog safe products. Depending on the size of your pup, I don’t mind giving them a bath prior to you picking them up so they’re nice and shiny and clean for you when you take them home. I am an empty Nester. I work from home. I’m home all the time. I enjoy being home but I love being with my animals. I do have two females Chihuahuas that are seven and 13 years old. There are used to be in a pack and hanging out with relative for babies friend fur babies and more. Very socially adjusted in every way. We do have four chickens and we keep them in a enclosed run. They do enjoy dogs as well. I am with them every minute of every hour I have them they are lot only out in a fenced in yard, completely enclosed privacy, and all all gates are secure. I also have cameras in my yard to keep an eye on them if I go in for a moment. I keep freshwater and food down at all times if this is not something you care for and you want your dog fed at a certain time I would like the instructions of how you would like for me to proceed with your dog I don’t like to change anything just to fit my needs. It has to be about the fur baby. We like to let them lounge on the couch without us and sometimes sleep in our bed. We do go for an occasional walk but again my yard is pretty big and we have a lot of fun outside in the yard daily if weather permits.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Clair Shores
We rebooked with Kellie after using her for a previous trip and Titan and Daisy were so happy to return! Kellie and her family are so great with our pups! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter and will continue to book with her in the future!
Rachael treated Monty like a member of her family! He got all the play time and snuggles he could ever want. We had full trust in Rachael to watch Monty for 12 days while we were in Europe. She was very communicative and provided lots of pictures. Will definitely leave Monty with her in the future!
This was our first time boarding our two dachshunds. I was nervous at first but Nancy allowed us to meet her & her dog Betty before booking. Her dog Betty is a gentle giant and was nice to my dogs. Nancy did a great job at providing updates and sending us pictures. We will definitely be booking with Nancy in the future. Thank you!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Craig! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving my dogs with someone new, but was instantly put at ease. Craig kept me updated multiple times a day, which I appreciated. He went above and beyond with them-taking them for multiple walks a day that even included going to parks and the beach, giving them so much love and attention. He genuinely cared about them and wanted them to have a fun, happy stay. I came home to two very happy (and tired) dogs, and I’m honestly sad their stay is over because I know how much fun they had. I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely use him again.
Katie was great!! My dog had a blast staying with her and was well cared for. She gave regular updates and communicated throughout his stay. My dog has some special health needs and quirks about him as well, but she was awesome helping him. Would 100% book again with her! :)

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 Saint Clair Shores 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 Saint Clair Shores 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 Saint Clair Shores.
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 Saint Clair Shores. On Rover:
- 92% 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 Saint Clair Shores 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.
