“Beth provides a welcoming home and we know our dog was well cared for on our trip. She was great with communication and flexible with drop off and pick up. We would not hesitate to book Beth again. Highly recommend!”
“Frances took wonderful care of our dog over the past weekend! We are grateful that she was able to provide all that he needed to have a great experience! We are grateful for the Peace of Mind knowing he was in a loving home! We are looking forward to his next stay in a couple of weeks!”
“Sylvia was great! It was my first time using rover and she made me feel very comfortable with leaving my dog! She sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated! She was very respectful and attentive to the dog. Would use her again!!”
“We felt at ease leaving our dog, Blue, with Chris. He was responsive, checked in with updates and pictures of Blue and was flexible with drop off/pick up times. We definitely recommend Chris as a conscientious and caring pet sitter.”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Sent me so many check in photos, my dogs looked like they were having a blast. They didn’t want to leave when we came to pick them up 😅. Highly recommend her.”
“Kaylee took great care of my baby girl while I was away. She sent pictures that helped me know she was truly settled in. Chanel can’t wait for her next visit with her playmates. She is worn out today.”
“I am completely at ease when we leave our german shorthair pointer with this family. We get plenty of updates and it looks like Daisy gets plenty of playtime with their pet and plenty of attention from the humans. The second time we brought her there she ran right up to the house like she remembered the good memories she made there the last time.”
“Thank you Stephenie !! Great experience with our pet sitter! She kept us updated by sending pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, Zoey was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend!”
“Amber was so sweet to our girl, Stella! We got pictures of them cuddled up next to each other and she told us about how she's doing (eating well, sleeping well). I appreciate the good care Amber provided.”
“Daniel was amazing! From the very beginning, he invited us to his home so we could feel more comfortable and showed us his backyard. While Nala stayed with him, he kept us updated with photos and messages the whole time. He was super attentive and always made sure everything was going well. We could really tell he cared about Nala. Highly recommend him! 🐶✨”
“Tasha and her family showed a great deal of love and attention to my puppy! Lots of snuggles <3 I received regular updates and photos throughout the day which I enjoyed. Thank you!”
“Jan was very friendly and clearly very caring immediately toward our dog Clyde. Clyde was shy at first, but took to Jan during his stay. She stayed in daily communication with us during his stay. She did have two dogs of her own that are small terriors, much smaller than our 70# dog!”
“Debbie watched my dogs for three weeks while I was in the middle of moving out of state. My older dog wasn’t doing well, and my younger dog has tons of energy—I didn’t want to stress either of them with all the commotion of the move. Debbie is such an amazing sitter. She took them for several walks a day around the beautiful lake near her home and along some great neighborhood trails. Freya absolutely loved it there. When Odin started getting sick, she didn’t hesitate to help—she took him to the vet for me and cared for my sweet boy until I was able to pick him up a few days later. I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave my fur babies. Thank you so much, Debbie. You are truly amazing. I highly recommend this sitter!”
“We love leaving our dog with Monique and her family! Our boxer has some anxiety but eats and does well while at their house. I love knowing my little guy is well taken care of and loved.”
“Rachael was great. We are summer RV'ers and needed a rover.com associate to watch our dogs for a week while we took off for a week adventure. Immediate response back from request and we set up meet and greet at her home. Very clean home and set up great for different scenarios. We received updates while gone and they were in great shape when we picked up. Great fenced in yard.”
“Best sitter ever!!!! Always my go to. We appreciate Angela so much! It’s a lot easier to enjoy a vacation when you know your child is somewhere they’re comfortable, happy, and loved. Other reviews from me available here as well”
“Miranda made us feel super comfortable leaving Denver in her care for the week. She had great communication, sent some updates throughout the week, and allowed us to do a quick meet & greet before our trip, and Denver and Freya got along great!”

Michael was an excellent dog sitter for Fitz! He was great to communicate with throughout the weekend and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Fitz had a wonderful time going on walks with Michael and his dogs, and even got to explore Michael's orchard. We also really appreciated his flexibility when our plans changed and we needed to pick Fitz up earlier than expected. We were visiting Douglas from Grand Rapids for the weekend, and it was such a relief knowing Fitz was happy, active, and well cared for. We highly recommend Michael and would gladly trust him with Fitz again!
Ryan took care of my two dogs for an overnight stay at their home, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. From the start, I felt completely secure leaving the girls in their care, which says a lot—especially since one of my dogs is 13 and has a lot of feelings and specific needs. Ryan showed so much understanding, generosity, patience, and empathy with her, and it meant the world to me. The girls settled in quickly, and Ryan sent photos of them snuggling shortly after I left and continued sharing updates throughout their stay because they knew how important that would be to me. Ryan never made me feel like my questions, check-ins, or verifications were too much—in fact, they reassured me many times (even saying “data is my jam” 😊), which made the whole experience feel easy and supportive. When I picked the girls up, they were excited to see me, but once I sat down with Ryan to talk through how everything went, they quickly settled again—which told me they truly felt comfortable and safe there. It’s very clear Ryan genuinely cares for the dogs they watch and treats them like their own. I had absolutely no concerns while the girls were with them, and Ryan will absolutely be our go-to resource from here on out. I’m so grateful we found them.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
96% of sitters in Saugatuck 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 Saugatuck 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 Saugatuck.
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 Saugatuck. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Saugatuck 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.
