“Sogol was a wonderful sitter for our scaredy cat, Topanga. She made sure to give Topanga her own quiet space and spent lots of time with her while she acclimated to her new surroundings. She sent lots of videos and pictures throughout her stay. We are so happy we opted for Sogol, Topanga had a great time!”
“Emil (and Sarah) we fantastic hosts. Sully was happy, healthy, and a little tired after playing with a few friends. When I came to pick him up, all of his stuff was already prepared, and I could load it in the car without having to worry about hanging in to him - very thoughtful!! He's slept most of the remainder of that day, and looked to be very happy. I had zero worries, doggo is happy, pickup was stress-free and easy, five stars!! Thank you Emil!!”
“Super kind and communicated with an update once a day. Definitely recommend to anyone that needs help with their four-legged family member. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again for future dog-sitter needs.”
“I think Shivambika did a very good job with my 7 lb. Yorkshire Terrier. She learned about and respected some of his breed’s idiosyncrasies. She took him into her yard, on a leash, & to a nearby trail. No doubt he loved that. It was my fault that he had to be exposed to another dog for his last 3 days, as I initially got my return date wrong . But he dealt with that pretty well, it seems.”
“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.”
“Selena did a wonderful job with Milo. She kept me updated with pictures of him having a good time. Getting to play with other dogs. My family enjoyed having her watch Milo. Will rebook with her when we need it again. Thanks again and looking forward to the next time...”
“Sunita is very conscientious on the care of my pup and I greatly appreciated it! From taking my dog on daily walks to making sure our Benny was loved and comforted, while being separated from his humans. Sunita was very kind & caring during the stressful time of traveling. I strongly recommend Sunita for any pet care! She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Also, knowing our pup was in loving, and great hands was a comfort! Thank you so much, Sunita! ?”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention my dog Dude received from William and his family and dogs. I was worried at first about my spoiled dog but he fit in fine. William goes above the norm in providing his boarders with fun while staying with him. With his background I felt confident that William could handle anything that might come up. I highly recommend William; in fact I’ve booked him again for the next time I have to leave town. Maryann”
“First time using River and Sam. Everything went smoothly. Sam took great care of our pug, Sally. He responded quickly to any texts and provided daily updates and photos. Highly recommend.”
“YiTing is a wonderful care sitter! She kept me updated every day and always let me know if she had any concerns about my little Shih Tzu, such as when she wasn’t eating well. She sent me pictures regularly and even discovered what toys she liked to play with—without me having to say anything! This was my first time leaving my dog with her, and I felt very reassured. I will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic! Hazel loved her time there. She was happy and tired (in a great way) when we picked her up. Carolina had excellent communication and took Hazel for a nice walk in the neighborhood, her favorite thing to do. Am definitely using Carolina again!”
“Aisha was great. Very accommodating with my change in travel plans. She made the dogs super comfortable and was so kind enough to send pics of them during their stay. She’s a great communicator and responds very quickly to messages. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
Whiskey had another wonderful stay with Elaine and family. We have used Elaine a number of times now and Whiskey is always excited for her visit when we drop her off. Elaine sends regular updates during the stay and has always been able to be flexible to accommodate us when we've had changes in plans. Thanks Elaine for taking such great care of our pup!
Annette and Ethel always take great care of Mamba. He has stayed with them twice now and enjoyed his time with them. Leaving my dog with Annette is an easy choice because I know my Mamba will be loved and cared for like family. Thank you Annette and Ethel for taking care of and loving my Mamba like your own. We will be back.
Finn had such a good time with April and her pack! He loved having other dogs to play with! He came home one tired pup! April sent videos and pictures throughout Finn’s stay and let us know how he was doing each day! I would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
My furbaby, Lilly, loves Amber. If she is available. She is always our number 1 choice. She sends photos or videos daily and is easy to get a hold of if needed. Lilly also gets super excited when we get to Amber’s house which is a huge win in our book! Lilly often has anxiety so this is a huge peace of mind for us. I highly recommend Amber to anyone who has a furbaby they want to have a good time while they are gone.
Yvonne and Bert were great with our 13 year old dog. They made sure she got her meds daily. They stayed in contact with us with pictures and text messages. They have a doggy door that I really didn’t have high hopes for our dog to use, but she did with some coaxing. I would highly recommend Yvonne and Bert. They are definitely dog people and pretty laid back.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 1,535 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Waterford. About 93% of Waterford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
