“Our girls had so much fun at Sarah’s! We will definitely be using her services again. We got daily updates and were kept in the loop the whole time. Made our trip stress-free!”
“Amanda was great! It was my first time using the app, I booked a 10 days stay for my dog Cass. I brought Cass over in advance to make introductions and felt very comfortable right away. Would definitely trust her with Cass again!”
“Brenda and her husband were the sweetest people that I’ve had watch over my dog due to my trip getting canceled. She kept my dog and took care of her until I had to get back safely. I highly recommend her. She was extremely kind and caring and sent me a lot of pictures and videos and kept me updated.”
“Daniella and her family were so kind to our older dog, Josh. We had a family wedding out of the country and they took such great care of him. We loved getting the updates every day and meeting this special family! I’d recommend Daniella to anyone needing dog care.”
“Second time looking after my dog Remington for a weekend and it was a great experience. Consistent updates and pictures were greatly appreciated. Will be my first choice for future needs.”
“Just picked up our Sammy spaniel and Luna doodle after they spent 5 nights at Holly's, and indeed we could see the dogs loved her and the family who are all very kind and loving. Holly is VERY dog-intuitive, a caregiving person, who also has a lovely home in a country setting. Highly recommend!!”
“Wonderful job they made Juneau feel right at home. She enjoyed it so much that she was looking for her new friends. I'm so glad that I chose Aaron because I could see that they really took care of my baby.”
“Julie and family were simply amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have been happier. We’ve never let our dog stay with anyone besides family before but some things came up and we had to find alternative care in a pinch. Julie sent daily photos and updates on our senior dog who was living his best life! Could not recommend her enough!”
“We had a great experience with them and we will definitely be using them again! They offer a really welcoming space for your pets and you can tell that they care about every one that they take care of. My dogs stayed with them and I could tell by the pictures they had a great time. They weren't even excited to see us when we picked them up after being gone for a week! I was slightly offended but so happy they enjoyed their stay.”
“I am over the moon on how FANTASTIC my Rover choice of Ana was❣️She sent me daily photos of my Corgi while I was attending my daughter’s wedding in Colorado (I live in Highland, MI)❣️Ana, her mother & sister all took turns being in their home for my Greta Sue❣️Thus, there was ALWAYS someone there to comfort & care for my precious fur baby❣️This was the 1st time I’ve been separated from Greta since I got her 14 months ago! I was pretty worried about how she’d react with complete strangers but she IMMEDIATELY bonded with them❣️It was also a last minute booking (due to my in-laws backing out 🙄) and Thank God that Ana was willing and able to care for Greta for a full week❣️Ana always responded, answered & replied to any & all of my messages/questions super quick 👍🏼🥰❣️I totally recommend Rover.com and my favorite new dog-sitter Ana❣️”
“Elaine and her family were so good to our dog! They have a very spacious house and yard that is welcoming and clean. I really appreciate that she had extra dog beds, which meant that I didn’t have to drag mine out out of my house and bring it with me there. She communicated with me throughout the time my dog was at her house and sent pictures that made me see that the dog was happy and loved. They went out of their way to make sure that my dog was comfortable. I will definitely be bringing my dog back to her home again and I’m so great that I was able to meet them and relieved to know that my dog was very happy there. I recommend Elaine to anyone and everyone!”
“Rachel and her family did an amazing job watching Drake while I was out of town! He had a blast, they took the best care of him, she communicated great and sent plenty of pictures while I was away. Highly recommend and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go out of town!”
“Julie did a fantastic job with our greyhound Wedge! She took great care of him, and her greyhound Ernie was really great playmate. The communication was really good too, and I appreciated the check in to let us know how he was settling in. Five stars!”
“Soooo happy to have our fur baby stay with Lindsey and Justin and family! Our boy has never been so calm as he was after his stay with you guys. Thank you for caring for our boy like your own!!!”
“Erin and family were so welcoming to our puppy and made us feel very comfortable leaving him for 2 nights. They sent pictures, updates and videos and it was a great experience overall. We would definitely have our puppy stay with them again in the future. Their dog was super sweet and good with pup.”
“Sogol just watched our senior dog for six nights while we were on vacation. She was extremely helpful from the moment we reached out and kept us informed with messages and photos throughout the stay. She is very personable and warm and has a clear love for animals. We will absolutely use her again in the future!”
“Anne went above and beyond for my GiGi! It was so nice to have peace of mind while on vacation. She kept my fur baby three nights and followed all instructions on her care. This was GiGi's first time staying with anyone away from her home and Anne was certainly the best choice. Her sweet Ethel was the perfect companion to GiGi, who doesn't like a lot of activity. We are very pleased with our Rover experience and absolutely recommend Anne to care for your pet!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Union Lake
Julie and family were simply amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have been happier. We’ve never let our dog stay with anyone besides family before but some things came up and we had to find alternative care in a pinch. Julie sent daily photos and updates on our senior dog who was living his best life! Could not recommend her enough!
Jay and his family were a great fit for our dog. It was her first extended stay away from us, and it went so well. We received text and picture updates, and it seemed like a true vacation for her and a much better option than boarding her at a large facility. She received much love, attention, care, and walks. We will definitely request them again for future dog sitting.
Lola had the best week. Scott is great and so accommodating. Our flight was delayed and we were not able to get Lola until late at night and he was so great about it, even offered to let us pick her up the following day! We wouldn’t leave Lola with anyone else besides Scott. Thank you so much for taking great care of care of her while we were on vacation.
We are so very happy with our experience with Sonya! We have a Great Dane so not everyone is comfortable with his size. Our pup had the best time and was at ease the whole stay. Sonya kept us updated with pictures and texts. She has an amazing yard and treats them like her own fur baby!
This was our first time using Rover. Alexis was amazing with our puppy! She took her to her family’s Thanksgiving celebration and even took her Black Friday shopping. She sent multiple pictures, videos and updates throughout her stay. She also gave us helpful feedback on some of her behaviors. Nisha came home clean, happy and with two new lab friends! We wouldn’t hesitate to use Alexis again.

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 Union Lake 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 Union Lake.
<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 Union Lake 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.
