“This was our first time using a pet sitter on Rover, and Christina made the experience wonderful! She was quick and easy to book on semi-short notice. Her communication was great, and she kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of our pup. We will definitely plan to use Christina for all our future pet sitting needs!”
“Holly was great with our dog Max. We had left Max with Holly for around 18 days. Max was comfortable and enjoyed his stay thoroughly at Holly’s place. Holly would send us daily pictures of Max assuring us that he is having a great time. I would highly recommend Holly & book her as a dog sitter for our dog Max when planning our next vacation.”
“Jenna and family were perfect for our Aussilier Charli. We received pictures and updates throughout her 5 day stay. Our Charli came home happy, exhausted and a little more spoiled than she already is! 😊. We definitely recommend Jenna and will use her services again for our next travel.”
“Sarah is simply the best. From the second I visited her home, for her to meet Kona, I knew the experience would be great. During Konas stay with Sarah I received multiple pictures, as well as an update, every single day! Sarah was very responsive every time I reached out to her, and to sum it up, I will absolutely be using Sarah in the future!! 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for these services. To Sarah: THANK YOU! Kona looked so happy in all of the pictures and videos that you shared with me. She can’t wait to visit again!”
“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.”
“Patty is so wonderful. She’s an incredible dog sitter, excellent communicator and I can’t recommend her enough. She takes the time to get to know your pup and sends great photos every now and again to let you know your pet is safe and having a great time. We’ll be using her again, thank you so much Patty ?!”
“Erin and her family are so WONDERFUL to work with and to our dog. She is excellent at giving updates on our dog while we’re away and loves her like her own. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Michele was great with our dog, Boston! She sent pictures, played/walked with him, and met his needs really well. We would definitely have her watch Boston again!”
“Stephanie, Brenton and their kids took great care of our boy, Samson. They consistently sent texts and pics to let us know how he was doing. Wonderful family!!”
“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.”
“Aaron and his wife Misty are such an amazing couple, very nice, super friendly and I felt very comfortable leaving Roxie in their care. I received pictures and video which made me feel even better about her stay. They are by far the best sitters and I will definitely use their services each and every time.”
“Debbie did a great job with our Sheltie Liam. They have a clean, comfortable home with a nice fenced in backyard. Their two Scotties are very friendly towards other dogs. Highly recommended.”
“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! ?”
“Nicholas was so kind and patient with my 4 month old puppy. I was nervous leaving her for 5 days but Nicholas sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. My pup bonded instantly with Nicholas’ dog, AJ, who was so careful and patient with her. Would 100% recommend.”

My dog has some anxiety issues as I adopted him recently. Shelter was rough for him. Jenna and her husband took such great care of him he settled right in. He also bonded with their 2 dogs and she sent me videos of them playing that really eased my mind. I highly recommend Jenna G for your dogs as well. I will surely be back when travel without him is required. Bob H.
Alyssa is a great sitter and very accommodating. I booked with her and needed to cancel after no longer needing her. She could not offer a refund at that time so I decided to send my dog with her anyway. My dog stayed one night and she then offered a full refund for other unforeseen reasons that weren't her fault, and she didnt have to do that. She offered to brush my dog daily with no extra cost. She usually charges for grooming and I didnt know that nor did I have that listed in my dogs care and she offered to do it anyway. Although my dog didnt stay with her very long, I could tell she has a heart for animals and I can assure you, your fur baby will be in good hands with Alyssa.

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 Wixom 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 Wixom 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 Wixom.
<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 Wixom 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.
