“Bradley was great with Miso! He sent a ton of pictures and made sure he was well taken care of. It was a somewhat last minute trip and we were grateful Miso had fun and a great yard to enjoy”
“My girls bonded with Jeremiah right away at the meet and greet. The day I dropped them off, there wasn't any anxiety at all. Jeremiah was attentive, contacted me if he had any questions, and provided regular updates. I absolutely trust him with my dogs and would use his services again!”
“We booked with Christina last minute when our scheduled sitter had to cancel. We had plans out of town for the 4th of July holiday and even though we booked last minute she was more than accommodating. Our lab Max was well taken care of! Christina sent us updates, videos and pictures of Max during his stay and our kids loved being able to see him while we were away. She was amazing and we will definitely be booking with her again the next time we have plans!”
“Olivia was awesome for our pug! She sent pics, updates, and was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. Very professional! Also, Taco came home smelling way better than when he arrived there : ) We would use Olivia again in a heartbeat!”
“Mary and Marty were really great. We boarded our two dogs with them for the weekend, and they kept in contact with me the entire time. They both just give off a really good vibe, and it made me feel incredibly comfortable leaving our pets with them. Thank you so much!”
“Leandra and her husband went beyond our expectations for taking care of Harley. We have never left him with anyone, he always traveled with us but this time Harley couldn’t go. They sent pictures and if we had any questions they answered right away. We had no worries leaving him and would highly recommend Leandra.”
“Hanna was excellent! She cared for my dogs attentively, asked questions and clarifications when needed. She provided many photos and hilarious commentary. My dogs adapted to her space and her pets readily, which was fantastic given that it was their first visit. Would use Hanna again in a heartbeat!”
“Andrea and Paul took wonderful care of my pup when I was passing through town on business. They were communicative and let him enjoy their home and company like one of the family. Pick up and drop off were very easy as well.”
“This was our first time using Rover for one of our dogs so I was a little nervous. Janis sent pictures of our dog every day while we were gone. I felt very comfortable leaving Remy in her care. Our pup seemed happy and well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her to someone and will be reaching out again if we ever need a sitter. Thanks, Janis!”
“Fantastic boarding experience. The daily pictures and videos put my mind at ease while on my trip. I will definitely be rebooking here for my next trip. 5 stars and highly recommended! Thank you”
“Francis was able to accommodate last minute and ensure our pittie healed properly after having her stitches removed, all while following feeding and medication instructions. Amazing.”
“Lilliana was great and accommodated our change in schedule. Communication was fantastic from start to finish. She also took care of my pet's special needs..it was truly a pleasure to have Peachy in her care.”
“Victoria was great with Penny! She watched our ~1 year old ~ 7 pound Cavapoo while we were here for a football game. Friday evening - Sunday morning. Victoria was very friendly and responsive! Penny felt right at home as soon as we showed her around Victorias place. Victoria went above and beyond for Penny and we’d definitely recommend her / plan to work with her again next time we bring Penny for a Football weekend. Penny got along well with Victoria’s dog Koco too. Thank you Victoria!”
“Lynn was great with our little guy. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, was very responsive and took great care of him following all of our requests! Would definitely book her again.”
“Henry had a great time staying with Lindsay and her family, and was easy to work with & responsive. Her dog Ellie was a good playmate and Lindsay sent updates/photos. Henry seemed happy and I definitely recommend her for dog sitting.”

I found Kelly when I was in a fairly last-minute need, and I am SO glad I did! From the meet-and-greet the day before I left, to sending reports and sweet photos each of the 4 times a day she visited my Velcro dog, to how quickly he (frequently suspicious of strangers) took to her, I can't recommend her highly enough. 15 out of 10!!

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 Sawyer 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 Sawyer.
<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 Sawyer 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.
