“Charlotte is a wonderful dog sitter. Penny liked Charlotte immediately. We left Penny with Charlotte for 3 days and Charlotte took GREAT care of her. Charlotte sent a lot of pictures of Penny having a great time. I would recommend Charlotte to watch anyone's dog she will take great care of them.”

“Lady Kima has spent one day with Tracey and already loves her! On the first meeting, Tracey showed not just how well she understands dogs, but how much she loves them. Spending time with Tracey has helped my Kima gain confidence with other dogs and new people. We will definitely be back!”
“My little guy has had severe separation anxiety since the death of my husband, and it's been very hard to leave him without him having a difficult time. But tonight he spent an evening with Martina and was perfectly fine! When I picked him up, he was happy and calm. Martina is such a blessing and answer to prayer! I will definitely use her again as well as highly recommend her to others!”

I highly recommend them.”
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.
“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!”
About: As a lifelong pet lover, I understand that pets are family. I've cared for my own pets through all stages of life, from playful puppy days to their senior years, so I know how important patience, love, and attention are.

Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, gentle senior care, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to help with reliability, flexibility, and lots of love! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or quiet cuddle sessions—I build my day around making sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat each pet like part of the family and love creating a calm, structured environment that supports their needs and routines. In my home, pets will have a warm, family-friendly environment with plenty of love from myself and my two kids. We have a big fenced in backyard, great for running and playing outside.
“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 am very playful but can be relaxed depending on your dogs temperament. I enjoy walks and runs. I have a fenced yard that your dog can play in. I also have a couch and fireplace we can hang out in front of while watching t.v. My availability is pretty flexible as I work from home. I take care to follow any special instructions given to me so that your dog remains happy and healthy. I can handle multiple pets and any given time. I prefer small to medium dogs but I am not opposed to larger breeds. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years but I've been around pets all of my life. I would love to treat your dog as part of my family while he/she is here. I have 2 teenagers ages 14 and 15.
“My dog is SO picky and shy and very particular. He doesn’t like many people and takes a long time to warm up to new people. But, he met Danielle and immediately felt welcomed and comfortable! She took great care of him and loved him and I could tell by how happy he was to see her a second time! I will be turning to Danielle first every time I need help!”

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!

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Saint Clair Shores on Rover is $35.31 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 1,011 sitters in Saint Clair Shores, 84% 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.
