“Molly has stayed with JoAnn many times. JoAnn is wonderful with Molly. She treats her as her own, and gives her lots of love. I received lots of updates and photos. I feel very comfortable leaving Molly with JoAnn.”

“Debbie did a great job in taking care of my dog. She took care of Oreo as her own. She takes Oreo to groomer also when needed. I had to postpone my return date and she was very helpful and flexible in modifying the stay.I will definitely recommend Debbie.”


“Debbie watched our 14 year old golden retriever Maggie for 11 days. She was great with updated photos of Maggie. Maggie was well cared for and we were very happy with Debbie.”

“Marija was wonderful with Angel! He can be timid around other dogs, but she kept a close eye on him until he was comfortable playing with the other pups. Her large fenced yard is a dog’s paradise. When my vacation got unexpectedly extended, Marija reassured me that Angel was safe and that she would have no problem keeping him until I was able to return. Overall, an excellent experience!”

“Jennifer and her husband did an amazing job taking care of our pup while we were on a two-week vacation. Jen would send me pics every day so I could see all the fun he was having! He really was on a wonderful vacation of his own! I highly recommend Jennifer!!”

“Our dogs stayed with Debra twice now and we had a great experience each time. She treats our dogs like her own and has a great yard for them to run and play. We really appreciate the regular updates and photos. It gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. Highly recommend!”

“Holly made our first Rover experience a great one! She was super about responding to my initial questions and she kept me supplied with pictures and updates during Rapunzel’s stay.”

“Andrew was fantastic with our young German Shepherd! He was genuinely excited to care for him, took him on lots of walks and sent me daily updates. This was our dog Grim’s first time away from his home and family for an extended time and I was super nervous at first, but I felt so much better seeing how Grim was well cared for and enjoyed staying at Andrew’s house. I would highly recommend Andrew and would definitely book his services again in the future!”

“This was our first time using a pet sitter on Rover, and Christina made the experience wonderful! She was quick and easy to book on semi-short notice. Her communication was great, and she kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of our pup. We will definitely plan to use Christina for all our future pet sitting needs!”

“Holland was an amazing dog sitter for Diablo! I was really comfortable leaving Diablo in her care while I was at work. She sent regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. It was so nice knowing how Diablo was doing and seeing him having a good time, especially since he seemed to really enjoy playing with her dog, Pidge. She was also so kind and attentive; she even gave him his meds when he got anxious, which was a huge relief. I could tell she genuinely cared about Diablo's well-being.”

“Teresa was amazing! She took great care of my little guy! I felt very comfortable and you can tell she loves the animals she sits for and treats them like her own pups! She sent me a bunch of pics while I was away which reassured me he was well taken care for! Would 100% book again!”

“Daisy LOVED her time with Amie & her family. Amie was so kind and updated me throughout the stay. Daisy had the best Thanksgiving with Amie’s puppies. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her!!! Highly recommend Amie ❤️”

“Día is fantastic! Ellie, my senior dog, looked so happy with her. She sent a lot of pictures during the day. Ellie stayed with Dia for 15 days and I couldn’t be happier with the way Dia took care of Ellie. Highly recommended.”

“YiTing is a wonderful care sitter! She kept me updated every day and always let me know if she had any concerns about my little Shih Tzu, such as when she wasn’t eating well. She sent me pictures regularly and even discovered what toys she liked to play with—without me having to say anything! This was my first time leaving my dog with her, and I felt very reassured. I will definitely book her again for my next trip.”

“Aisha was great. Very accommodating with my change in travel plans. She made the dogs super comfortable and was so kind enough to send pics of them during their stay. She’s a great communicator and responds very quickly to messages. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”

“Deana was absolutely amazing! She and her husband, James, took such great care of my dog, Henny, during a last-minute boarding. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such a loving and attentive home. Deana truly treats your pet like her own, and it shows in everything she does. Henny was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Plus, her dog Shaggy is adorable and has such a similar personality to Henny :) It’s also a huge bonus that she lives nearby, making everything so convenient. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Kristi and her family took amazing care of our pup while we were out of town. They were very accommodating and communicative. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well exercised, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! We will definitely be using them again.”

“Susan did a fantastic job watching our GSP, Missy. Missy is a little anxious & nervous, and Susan knew just how to handle her. Susan provided frequent updates and pictures which assured us she was in good hands. In addition, Susan was graciously flexible with drop off and pickup times since we were working around our DTW flights. Thank you so much Susan! We will definitely consider you again for watching our Missy!”

We absolutely love having Bailey stay with her! Debra and her husband Brian are wonderful, and Bailey always has the best time playing with the other dogs and running around in their amazing backyard. Communication is always great, and we feel so comfortable knowing Bailey is in such good hands. Highly recommend! ❤️

Our three doodles love to be at Jennifer’s place! She and her family are experienced dog hosts and make our pups part of the family. They are amazing in juggling all of the needs of the pups they are hosting. I feel completely confident leaving our dogs there ( including our 105 lbs Bernedoodle).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Salem home-away-from-home, 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 Salem.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Salem 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 , 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 .
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.
