“Lauren & Cris were very kind and sweet. They agreed to booking, even within a short time frame. They were very welcoming and kept me informed with many pictures of coco. Coco seemed to love her time with them as she had plenty of time and fun playing outside in their fenced in backyard. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Andrew was a great choice to care for Toby. We went on a two-week international adventure, where cell reception would be spotty. It was good to know that Toby would be with very responsible sitters, given that we could not be in touch all the time. Thank you for peace of mind.”
“Laura and Manuel were perfectly communicative and great with my anxious dog who is wary of new people. She had fun and warmed up quickly to their own dogs!”
“Kayden is very friendly and knowledgable about dogs. Milo, our dog, is elderly and I was a bit worried about the interactions between his energetic dogs and mine. But all went well and Milo came home healthy and happy after a full week with Kayden, his partner and their four-legged friends. The second concern I had was the small outside area he had available for the dogs to do their business. Milo is picky about where he goes potty and, since there was no grass, I wasn't sure how that would go. Again, Kayden handled it well, taking Milo out for walks when needed. I would take Milo back for future visits if the need arises.”
“Ariana was very responsive during our trip planning, and was prepared for us when we arrived. She went over and beyond sending photos and checking in while we were away, and responding promptly when I had questions. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone we didn't know well, and it made a difference to work with someone who had strong communication, and who acted like they genuinely cared for our dog, who is a member of our family.”
“Jennifer was an amazing sitter. I was nervous leaving Mochi for the first time, but Jennifer took great care of her. She sent pictures and videos everyday, and I could tell Mochi was having so much fun. Mochi enjoyed having other dogs to play with. Would definitely recommend and rebook with Jennifer.”
“JoAnn is the absolute best. Our boy Marty came back healthy and although he got dropped off with some skin issues she was so attentive to caring for him and providing his medication. We appreciated the daily pictures/videos and she was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had while away. Thank you again to JoAnn!”
“We have a wonderful experience boarding our dog with Paula. She is very loving and sent us pics everyday to keep us informed. She responds to your message in a very timely manner. I can tell that my dog enjoyed his stay with Paula. You are the BEST Paula. I highly recommend her for your pet care/boarding.”
“Melissa was a great sitter for our dog Dusty. She sent pictures and kept us updated. She was flexible when we ended up being later than expected for pick-up. I'm sure Dusty had a great time and we felt comfortable leaving her in good hands. I would definitely call on her services again if and when the time comes.”
“Amy took great care of Leila. She was communicative and sent regular updates during our trip. When we arrived, Leila was coming back from a walk and seemed very happy and comfortable with Amy! Thank you!”
“Dawn was wonderful with my puppy George. I was little nervous leaving him for the first time but she put my nerves at ease. I could tell when I came to pick hime up he was well cared for and happy. I will for sure be using her again in the future.”
“Apollo had a wonderful time at Ashley’s. He got lots of cuddles and got to play in the fenced in backyard. He always looked peaceful and happy in the photos. I booked with Ashley because I got the sense that she would be gentle and sensitive to Apollo’s emotions, and Ashley definitely proved that to be true. She seems like a gentle and kind soul who loves animals.”
“Irma and Daniel went above and beyond in caring for Blue, and I am so grateful for everything they did. When a snowstorm delayed my return home, they were unbelievably kind, reassuring, and flexible, taking away so much of my stress during an already difficult situation. Knowing that Blue was safe, happy, and being treated like part of their family meant the world to me. She was clearly well cared for, entertained, and loved. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough and would trust them with Blue again in a heartbeat.”
“Heather and her family were great hosts for my dog! He came home happy. It was his first time staying somewhere new and Heather helped us make sure it would be a good fit with a meet and greet before his stay.”
“I get the sense that all the dogs in Eric’s care are buddies. From the looks of it, they are active and playful together. Eric handles my big dog with ease, and I feel good knowing he’s busy and well cared for.”
“Tara and her family were great! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. She sent me daily photo and video updates, and was very accessible to communicate with. I felt like my dog was in excellent care. I didn't worry about my dog at all and was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing he was in good hands. I felt like I found my Rover go-to person with Tara and will definitely be booking with her again.”

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.

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.
95% of sitters in Whittaker 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 Whittaker 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 Whittaker.
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 Whittaker. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Whittaker 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.
