“MICHELLE IS AMAZING!! She has house sat, done drop ins and has boarded our dog many times. She is so thoughtful and compassionate towards dogs. She has a huge fenced in yard that my dog loves. Michelle sends pictures and a daily review of activities and opinions of how my dog or her dog are viewing the visit. I laugh and look forward to reading the fun and lively updates. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for any dog sitting needs!”
“What a wonderful experience for my precious Joe. Joni provided excellent care for him and kept me aware of Joe's days, without overdoing it. I could not have been happier or more at ease with leaving my sidekick at a boarder.”
“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”
“Kasey sent wonderful videos and was in contact regularly. My baby girl was happy and I can't ask for more. I will be back and I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur baby.”
“My dog loved his stay with Jacqueline! She was very attentive and you can tell how deeply she cares for your fur baby! She communicated regularly with updates and photos while I was away. If I need a sitter again we definitely will book again with her!”
“Martha did an absolutely wonderful job watching my dog Mac! This was my first time using her, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our initial meet and greet all the way through pickup, she was incredibly kind, communicative, and caring. She sent me regular updates throughout the week to let me know how Mac was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was very attentive to his personality and made sure he was comfortable, getting plenty of attention, cuddles, and company. It was honestly so nice hearing how quickly Mac settled in and made himself at home! It was clear throughout his stay that Mac was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He seemed to really enjoy his time with Martha, and I was so happy knowing he was in such a loving environment while I was away. Martha was wonderful about keeping me updated and making sure Mac was happy and comfortable throughout his entire stay. I really appreciated how much care and attention she gave him, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed having him around. I would absolutely recommend Martha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative to watch their dog. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time Mac needs someone to stay with!”
“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“We're so happy to have discovered Kim on Rover. She is an amazing dog caretaker! She treated our two dogs like her own and helped us feel comfortable leaving them behind. She sent many pictures of the dogs in and out of the house. She paid special attention to our senior dog and made him comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
“Damoan was amazing! Gizmo had an absolute blast hanging out with her and Alaina. We ended up being delayed by one hour and it was no issue for the pickup! I would definitely book her again!”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“Sydney and Luna had an excellent stay! They were very spoiled with lots of love and attention. We received pictures of their fun twice a day! We highly recommend Jason and Kristen!”
“Fabulous sitter! She was quick to reply and took care of our babe last minute. She even went out of her way to drop him off for us, and waited 5-10 minutes extra due to our event not being done yet. HIGHLY recommend! THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Chris took great care of my dog, Freya, for a weekend. He was attentive to her needs and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Dogs were very well taken care of and seemed happy when we picked them up. They sent updates and pictures during their weekend stay. We will definitely use them in the future.”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”
“Christine and Hendrik were both outstanding sitters for my Maltese, Kasie. Kasie is generally afraid of men, but she warmed up to Hendrik and loved them both very much. She was very happy there, and that's unusual for Kasie because she is so attached to us. I think she's going to miss them since we brought her home. They took great care of her. She was safe, secure, and having the time of her life at their wonderful home with a fenced back yard. I will book them again and again!”
“Olivia is fantastic. Took the time to send photos and updates most every day. Zadie is a people lover and seemed to connect with Olivia from the very start. I will def be rebooking with her in the future.”

- 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.

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.
