“Rachael took such good care of my pups! I wasn’t sure how my dogs would do in a new home but when I picked them up they were sooo happy. Her dog Lucia is so sweet and got along so well worn my pups. They can’t wait to visit again! :)”
“Dawn and her family were amazing caretakers of our dog while we were in McMinnville. We were working long hours so it was important to have someone we could trust and depend on to be there for our hound, and Dawn was AMAZING for us by being 100% timely, totally dependable, flexible, and super communicative. We had Dawn come to our place to take our dog on walks and also did pet sitting at her place, and would highly recommend both options! We’re so thankful for Dawn and couldn’t recommend her enough…you’ll be in good hands!”
“We are so glad we found Tracey. She is great with our dog and always has time to answer any questions we may have. Gatsby is happy to be dropped off with her, and he was never like that with his previous day care situation.”
About: Hi! I’m Sandra, a reliable and caring pet lover who treats every animal like family. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. ❤️ About Me I have a natural love for animals and a strong sense of responsibility. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that seriously. I provide attentive, dependable care with lots of affection and patience. I am home full-time and I work from home . So I am able to attend to all the animals with love throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard. I have a doodle that will keep your dog company. He is 20 pounds. He loves to run and play. He goes to the dog park daily. We would love to have your company.
“Megan is extremely nice and welcoming and provides great care. My dog is always super excited to visit her place! Due to my dogs anxious nature, she often leaves new places stressed. However, whenever she comes home from Megan's she is relaxed and happy. Do book Megan if you want a great care experience for your pet!!”
“I will absolutely be using Jenaya and her husband again to watch my babies. I have two three month old highly energetic Australian shepherds. They are a lot. This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous. I did feel instantly better after meeting them as you can tell she’s very much an animal person. Not only did she tire them out and I actually got to sleep after working crazy hours, but she also accommodated my crazy nurse work schedule. I also received several videos and pictures while I was working and you could tell she was very interactive with them. Even the daycare I have used for the boys doesn’t seem to get out all their energy the way that she did. If you are looking at theses reviews skeptical of this app like I was….you found the right people. Look no further!”
“Amanda has been awesome for my sweet doggy Shiloh! She’s so flexible with scheduling which I absolutely love, updates with pictures daily of your fur baby playing or enjoying a walk! My Shiloh girl is very energetic and comes home at the end of the day EXHAUSTED from playing all day which was never the case before day care. We’re thankful for Amanda!”
About: I have been a life long pet owner and animal lover. I have four years experience working at a doggy daycare. In that position I cared for dogs of every age, breed and those with special medical needs. I currently work as a professional skater but my schedule is totally open when I am not competing. I can give advanced notice when I am unavailable to pet sit. Currently I am available for dog walking services and same day pet check ins. For example, I would be happy to come to your home and walk / love on your fur babies during a long work day!
“Tara is great! She is super attentive and communicative, which means so much to me as an anxious pet parent. I knew Marlon was in good care even though he might be nervous. She took her time with him and did all she could to help him feel at home.”
About: I specialize in small and senior dogs who need a calm, safe, low-stress environment — perfect for pups who don’t do well in busy boarding situations. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, including being a dedicated dog owner and a long-time foster for small dogs. Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience welcoming new dogs into my home and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and secure. My dogs are well-socialized and are very used to foster dogs coming in and out, so I’m experienced with safe introductions, reading dog behavior, and maintaining a calm, balanced environment. I understand that every dog has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to ensure each one feels supported and at ease. I specialize in small dogs and senior dogs, providing a quieter, lower-stress setting that many dogs thrive in. Because I regularly care for multiple dogs, I’m very aware of group dynamics and boundaries. I closely monitor interactions, prevent issues before they start, and can separate dogs if needed to maintain a peaceful home. I treat every dog like part of the family — with patience, attention, and love — while also maintaining structure and routine so they feel comfortable during their stay. My home is best suited for small, dog-friendly dogs who will thrive in a calm, structured environment. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent care, supervision, and attention throughout the day. My day is structured around the dogs in my care, including regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, and plenty of time for rest and relaxation. I maintain a calm, predictable environment so dogs can feel comfortable and settle in easily. I’m able to give frequent check-ins, monitor interactions closely, and ensure each dog gets the individual attention they need while also maintaining a peaceful group dynamic. Because I only care for a small number of dogs at a time, I’m able to be very present and attentive, making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, structured home environment and take a thoughtful, experienced approach to caring for every dog. In my home, I carefully manage introductions and interactions to ensure all dogs feel safe and comfortable. Because I have experience fostering dogs, I’m very familiar with reading behavior, recognizing stress signals, and preventing issues before they arise. I only accept small, dog-friendly dogs (typically under 25 lbs) and limit care to 1–2 guest dogs at a time, which allows me to closely supervise and maintain a peaceful environment. Dogs are never left unattended in situations where safety could be a concern. I monitor group dynamics, separate dogs when needed, and ensure each dog has their own space to relax. I require that all dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention to help keep everyone healthy. For drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely, ensure pets are secure before leaving, and provide updates so you know your pet has been cared for properly. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously.
“I dropped my puppy off with Sarah for the day and she was amazing! She sent pictures of my puppy and took great care of her! I would definitely trust Sarah with any of my pets any day! Thank you!”
“Tiara did an amazing job! Very nice and my pup seemed to have a great time. Made sure he was bathed and ate. She sent multiple updates throughout the day and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend her. I will be using her again!”
About: I have been passionate about animals, especially dogs, since a young girl. My ultimate goal is to be a farmer and eventually start a dog and cat sanctuary. I have owned a dog personally for 6 years and recently upgraded to 2. I also have always had a dog or a few in the house throughout childhood. I grew up with pit bulls, Rottweilers, terrier’s, chihuahuas, German shepherds, and more. I more recently worked at a dog day care called K9-5 where I was trained to manage anywhere between 15-30 dogs at a time including puppies, large dogs, small dogs, low tolerance dogs, and friendly dogs. I pay close attention to dog body language and will monitor and care to for your pets as if they are my own. I am a first time mother and student. I am currently not working and am in the house 24/7 only leaving for occasional doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping, and family events. I already care for two dogs of my own regularly letting them out to use the bathroom, stimulating them with toys and bones, and allowing them to play freely indoors and outdoors. The additional dogs will fit seamlessly into my current routine. In my home I let my dogs outside every 2-3 hours and feed them twice a day. They are crate trained, allowed to play and roam freely throughout the house, and are both dog friendly. I also have a fully finished basement and multiple outlets to access the outdoors including a back door, side door, and front door for any dogs that require one on one attention and/ or are not dog friendly. All reasonable requests will be honored including but not limited to more frequent feeding and restroom breaks, medication dispersement, and grooming. All dogs will be treated with respect and love. I am currently not offering daycare or sitting at clients homes, however, I am able to pick up and drop off pets daily for daycare and overnight sitting for an additional fee.
About: I've had dogs since I was little, and I am a compassionate dog caretaker. I love all dogs, young and old, healthy and ill. I want to spend all of my time with dogs and make them feel loved and taken care of! As of now I am not working, I just have two trips out of state before I start school in Chicago, at which time I will be available! I am attentive and careful when caring for dogs, and when taking them on walks I am patient and allow them to take their time and sniff around. I love playing with dogs' toys or cuddling with them. It makes me so happy to make them feel happy and loved.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs, neighbors dogs, and fostered dogs. I am widely available in the summer and after noons in the school year. Kind, mature, dog lover available to walk you dog or just stop in and give them some love? I have lots of availability in the summer and would love to relieve the stress that can come with leaving our doggies at home. I am happy to walk your dog, check in/let them out or just give them some attention. Lots of afternoon/evenings in the school year. I am not offering boarding at this time. I can stop by check in and walk your dog, following all of your directions. I know some of the stress of leaving our pups at home is finding someone we trust to care for them when we are not there. We just want to know they are all good!
About: My name is Lemuel and I have been taking care of pets all my life! I have a natural ability to become friends with any pet I come into contact with. I follow clear and straightforward instructions and make sure to stay in contact in case of any questions or concerns. Overall, I don’t just watch pets, I care for them as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. As long as I am home from school which is usually holidays or the summer, I am available most of the week outside of any plans I may have. I have a fenced and spacious backyard and a clean and pet friendly household free of kids and safety hazards ensuring a safe environment for any pet!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 when my family got our first family dog. I would babysit and walk neighbor dogs for summer fun and a little extra spending cash. Now I have 2 rescue fur babies that I have had since they were puppies. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for play sessions and walks during most weekdays 9 am – 2 pm. I can easily crate your dog if needed. Long walks or short, new energetic puppy or senior slow time either is good with me. Safety and security are guaranteed.

Sarah is wonderful with Rosie. Every time Rosie stays with her, she has so much fun and stays active and mentally engaged. Rosie always comes home happy and exhausted, which makes such a difference for a young puppy. I always look forward to her time with Sarah—and so does Rosie!

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 Saint Clair Shores 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 999 sitters in Saint Clair Shores, 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.
