“Mary did such a great job taking care of my pup for the weekend. She sent a very thorough questionnaire to make sure she knew everything important about caring for him. Would recommend!”
“Christina is awesome! Because of my job, sometimes my requests are super last-minute. She’s been awesome with working around my schedule. My pup had a blast at her place and came home exhausted. She will continue to be my go-to sitter!”
“Lilliana was the best! Even with a short notice she was able to help and watch our Callie! She sent update photos which were amazing!! Overall will definitely be bringing my dog back!”
“Lynn is wonderful and a sweet soul! She did an amazing job taking great care of Ollie! He was in great hands with her while I was away. He really enjoyed himself with her and her two fur babies💜. I'm so happy Ollie made new friends! She provided me with daily updates and sent me pictures of Ollie which was nice. She's responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cares. Usually Ollie doesnt eat a lot and grazes when hes been boarded before but he ate like normal with her! I really appreciated the check list forms and medical release I completed for her - it only took two seconds to complete and it just shows the care and responsibility she has with caring for my pup! That made me feel good! I would not hesitate to recommend her and will definitely use her again to watch Ollie in the future!!”
“After our normal sitter wasn't able to watch our dogs I almost cancelled the trip until my husband found Hanna on Rover. She had great reviews and our dog meet and greet went well. I could tell she loves animals and I had a great feeling. I got regular updates along the way. I would highly recommend and use Hanna for our services again.”
“Natasha was great with my dog. He can be nervous with people he doesn’t know, so Natasha was very patient and sweet with him. She sent lots of pictures and videos which really put my mind at ease. Would definitely book with Natasha again!”
“As a first time Rover user I was quite nervous about leaving my dog behind on vacation. Jenny really eased my mind through our meet and greet and then further with updates while sitting. I would 100% let her watch Opal again and would definitely recommend her for others.”
“Haley is AMAZING! She took care of my 15 week old puppy last minute, and was super communicative. She sent photos and updates, as well as took him to socialize and made sure he was well taken care of. THANK YOU!”
About: Hello, I'm a big animal lover. Life is always better with furry friends! I have pretty much always had a dog most of my life & always consider them family. I was lucky & got to be there when my former fur baby was born. Her mom let me massage her hips & tummy while in labor. It was her 1st litter & she was awesome!! She let me handle all 9 of the babies after she was done delivering so we could transfer all them to a clean bed & to help rotate at feeding time to ensure they all ate. All 9 survived & were healthy!! I was also a "doula" for my mom's cats pregnancy & she let me massage her tummy & handle her babies right away also. It's a blessing to see & be a part of. I would love to provide a safe and comfortable care for your pet while you are away. I used to have birds, cats, fish, been around reptiles & snakes, turtles, I worked at an eagle rapture center in Alaska which is where I'm from. I have a strong belief to only work in something you love so here I am. :-) Your pet will receive the same love & attention as if they were my own & provide plenty of pictures. Before I became a provider for Rover I used the service a few times myself & was very appreciative when I was given daily updates & pictures & want to provide the same for others. It truly meant a lot to me to get that so I know the importance. -Reliable, Safe, Comfortable w/ all animals -Wellness checks -Doggie daycare in your home-Rover doesn't allow me to add this feature/pricing-please ask for free quote -Pet Sitting -Pet Grooming -Walking/Running/Playtime -Pickup/Drop Off for Appointments -Training -Overnight care -Reiki/Massage for pets -I'm more than happy to help w/ some extra house cleaning (additional) so don't be afraid to ask.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and I’ve often cared for the dogs of my family friends! I feel comfortable working with dogs of all sizes. As a college athlete, I understand balancing busy schedules with taking care of pets, and I would love to spend time with your pets either for a walking break or to hang out with them while I study! I am a full-time medical student but can easily fit dog sitting into my study schedule! I will have slightly more availability on weekends but will hopefully be flexible as needed. I treat my client’s home like I’d want them to treat mine! I often end up doing some extra cleaning where needed and I always clean up after myself and their pets. Coming back to a clean and well-kept home is always a breath of fresh air after time away!
About: I've always had pets. I've had a dog every year of my life since I was born. I love their different personalities, breeds and interactions. I currently have 3 of my own, Bentley, Bailey and Scooby-Doo. Each of them is different from the other and I wouldn't change any of them. I am available currently Friday-Sunday. I have pets of my own and we play and exercise together. I love animals so much, I enjoy helping and playing with others. I have a small fenced in area for little dogs, which is where all 3 dogs of mine are. All 3 are playful and friendly.
About: I have owned pets most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I lost my elderly dogs this year after 14 years with them. At this point, I have not decided if I will own another pet again in the near future so I would love to spend some time with yours! I work during the day but live close and could come home for mid day walks if I am boarding. Or I can do short ins during the day. Otherwise, I am home in the evenings and weekends. I do live in a pet friendly community and enjoy taking long walks. I especially love playful pets with lots of energy! I have experience with mostly small and medium sized dogs. I have also had cats in the past and would consider boarding them or doing check ins.
“This was my first time havinh Shawn keep my puppy and I must say she was very nice upon our first meeting and was very understanding when I was running late to drop off, which I totally appreciated. My pup seemed to have had a good time with her. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

As of November 2026, there are 126 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Union Pier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
99% of sitters in Union Pier 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 Union Pier 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 Union Pier.
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 Union Pier. On Rover:
- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 Union Pier 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.
