“Steve was great with my big boy Ace , he saved me by accepting him on very short notice for a long stay so I’m very greatful. Sent me pics daily and kept me posted. Ace came home happy , fed and in good spirits. Will definitely use his service again .”


“Lasya and her husband took such great care of my dog Yuri. I felt at ease leaving my fur baby in their care. They consistently sent pictures and videos of Yuri during her stay. It was nice that she felt loved and cared for and even made friends there during her stay. I recommend Lasya and her husband for your future needs with dog boarding”

“Shivadarshini was great to work with! When I reached out to her about Biscuit staying over while we were away, she offered Biscuit and I stop to by for a quick visit ahead of time to make sure we were both comfortable with her staying for a week. Biscuit had a great time playing with her dogs as well. She sent outfits twice a day which was so sweet and kind of her to think about doing. She met any need or requirement I asked for. Biscuit will be visiting again next time we are out of town.”

“Nichole was wonderful with my boy. The kids was great! We have kids so this house was perfect for him. She updated us, took our boy on lots of walks, gave him tons of lovins and kept him on our feeding schedule. The entire experience was great! I will be using her again and highly recommend.”


“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”


“I have to thank Tara for helping me with little bear my young Sable Shih Tzu. I’m going through a hard situation right now and she helped out right away.

“Pattie was amazing and truly heaven sent. She was wonderful with my pup and treated her like her own. Pattie also sent us updates frequently and just made it very comfortable for us. I suffer from somewhat separation anxiety when we leave town for vacations and leave my pup. Pups are like your children and Pattie treated her as such! Pattie made this experience very pleasant and my pup loved her. I will be booking with Pattie again!”


“I can tell Michael really enjoys caring for dogs. I knew Calvin was in good hands and was able to enjoy my trip with zero worries. I’d use Michael again. Thanks!!!”


“We found ourselves in a bit of a jam before a planned trip after our long-term arrangement ended. Luckily, we found Theresa and Adrian! We initially discussed our ask - a few days stay - and agreed to bring over our Lucy for a quick visit. They were very attentive with great questions about Lucy's needs and habits. Lucy decided to be very ill-behaved at the visit and we offered to connect them with our previous sitter to confirm her usual behavior, which they took us up on. When we dropped off Lucy for the stay, she was wagging her tail and went in without a pause! They sent us pics and updates while we were away, which was such a relief and let us enjoy our time with family. When we arrived to pick up Lucy, she barked at the knock like it was her house! A good sign. She was happy to be home, but so much less stressed than if we had boarded her at the commercial place nearby. We would absolutely request to have Lucy stay with them again if they'll have her!”


“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”

Southwest Detroit dog parents share their Rover experiences
Whitney and Samuel were excellent. Our 2-year-old rescue has had some separation anxiety issues with sitters in the past, but from the first night, she felt right at home. It was nice to receive updates from Whitney and Samuel, showing our pup relaxing around the house and even forming a connection with their kids. Leaving a high-energy dog with strangers is always an additional travel stressor, but we felt confident to enjoy our trip! They were also very accommodating with a pick-up and drop off which was great as we had some travel delays. We would highly recommend them to anyone.

Miranda & Cameron we're amazing sitters! They were so accommodating with my change in schedule. Athena was so well cared for while I was away and they always kept my worries at bay with updates ( first time being away from us). Very happy with everything overall :)

Madrona was everything a dog momma could ask for! She was very attentive to banjo and what he needed and banjo come back to me after the 4 days boarding super happy and tired. She communicated with me as much as I wanted and I never worried how banjo was doing. Would definitely book again! People tend to thing my big baby is scary but not Madrona she fell in love with him just as much as i did and made me feel super comfortable from the moment I dropped him off! If you’re in the Detroit area please go to Madrona for all your dog sitting needs!

Stefania and her boyfriend were incredible sitters, and I mean that in earnest. They were able to offer overnight care for our dog after a last-minute cancellation, and they went above and beyond in making him feel part of their family. They're very active! They took our pup on multiple walks at dog parks and even hiking trails; after I picked him up, he had a bath and then fell right asleep. Happy dog, happy human.
