“Felix was great with my dog Sadie! She can be a bit shy and anxious in new environments but warmed up in this safe and comfortable environment. She had a great time playing with the other dogs! Felix was very responsive and provided updates frequently”
“Madelyn was absolutely fantastic! So communicative and on top of it -- and with two young kiddos!!! She even taught Trooper a trick and was able to accommodate my flight delay. I'm so grateful for her and will def rebook!”
“Teri was GREAT! We will definitely use her services again. We came home a day early and she refunded us for a full day. That was unexpected and very kind. I would give her more stars if I could! Thanks Teri :-)”
“Thank you Megan for being a wonderful dog sitter for Coco! I was worried about leaving her for the first time and you eased my concerns very quickly on the phone. Appreciate all the pictures and text while we were away. That helped us know she was happy & being well taken care of with walks and snuggle time. I will highly recommend you to my friends & anyone looking for a sweet dog sitter (without pets of her own). Again a huge thank you! We will be in touch in a few weeks to schedule another over night stay for Coco. Karen”
“Terry and Chuckie took EXCELLENT care of Max during his stay. He needed additional care for his eye condition and they immediately stepped up to meet all of his needs. Terry sent several updates throughout the day which helped put this dog mom at ease. Looking forward to his next stay with them!”
“I would definitely recommend Melvin and Sean! This was our first time leaving our baby Charlie. As someone who deals with anxiety it wasn't an easy thing for me to do. However they made me feel completely at ease and assured me that he was safe and well taken care of. The photo updates they sent throughout the stay helped so much and truly gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they provided! We will definitely use them again.”
“Ru D was an excellent babysitter for Dakota. Ru sent me daily updates and Dakota looked very comfortable in her surroundings. I would 100% recommend her. Thank you Ru”
“Jenny is a fantastic sitter. She takes very good care of our senior dachshund, and updates every day! We feel very comfortable leaving our little Charlie with her.”
“Repeat customer here. Goose loves hanging out with Christina, Michael and the family! They take great care of Goose and always send regular updates so I never have to worry while I’m traveling for work.”
“Dan and Kelly were amazing with our two dogs!! This is our first time using Rover and also our first time leaving our pups with someone who wasn’t our family, they are 8 & 9. Though we were fairly short notice, Dan helped walk us through the Rover process, allowed us to do a meet and greet ahead of time, and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Not knowing how our dogs would do as a first time away from us with non-family, there was a lot of anxiety on our side and it all was put to rest with videos and pictures of our pups having a great time there! There’s no doubt our dogs have some quirks but Dan and Kelly took amazing care of them and made them/us feel very welcome! Their house is very pet friendly with the toys, beds, and large fenced in backyard. So grateful to have found them, and strongly recommend them for your furry family members!”
“I am a repeat customer. Kalee is an absolute GEM! Our first time with Kalee, she was very professional. She offered a meet and greet then once we arrived she spent additional rime with Buster and I just reviewing his care and allowed Bust we to explore and get used to his surroundings. I have decided that Kalee is our one and only sitter, Buster loves her and his new fur baby brother! I definitely recommend Kalee as a professional, caring and flexible sitter!”
“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”
“Diana did an amazing job with my dog, Fuji! I had pretty short notice for a nearly 1 week long vacation and she was able to accommodate me without issue. Fuji was immediately very comfortable with Diana, and she looked very very happy and was smiling in all the pictures and videos I was sent. Diana had great communication and was constantly updating me, so I never had any worries about how Fuji was doing while I was away. I felt very comfortable and confident with the care Fuji received, she came home happy and healthy! I will definitely be booking Diana again the next time that I need a sitter. Thank you so much!!!”
“Amy took care of my fur baby so well!!!! She made him comfortable and happy during his stay. I loved the updates and pictures she sent. I could tell he was being spoiled! My pup will be very excited for his next visit with her!”
“Wow, Marissa is the best. We got photos frequently and reports of how our furry friend was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with our crazy work schedules. Best sitter ever!”
“Jacy is AMAZING! She made our sweet boy so happy. Spoiled him with constant play time and love. She communicated regularly with so many pictures. 10/10 recommend! We are so grateful for such excellent care!”
“Gabrielle is very attentive with my dog make sure he is always comfortable and she also communicates with what’s going on with my dog makes me feel like it’s at home away from home”
“Kina watched our 2 corgis, Zelos and Fae while we had a weekend away. She had awesome communication with daily check ins and pictures so we could see how our furkids were doing. Every picture showed 2 very happy and relaxed pups, which made us feel so much better. When I went to pick them up they seemed so content and comfortable, which is a surprise as Zelos has separation anxiety in his senior years. It also helped that Kina has owned corgis in the past so she understood their little quirks. We will absolutely use her again! Zelos and Fae give 2 paws up as well and can't wait to visit again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walker
Alexis took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were gone for a week on vacation. We were a little nervous leaving them with someone new, knowing we were traveling out of the country. She communicated promptly to my inquiries and sent us numerous photos and text updates throughout the week. We were thrilled to hear that our dogs got along great with her dog and had a fun week playing together. Thank you Alexis! We will be sure to reach out for any future vacation needs!

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.
92% of sitters in Walker 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 Walker 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 Walker.
<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 Walker 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.
