“Heather was an amazing sitter, very accommodating, and took extra care to get to know Noodles before the booking. Communication was prompt, and while I was on my trip, she sent the sweetest pictures/videos and updates. Overall, Noodles had a great time and received top-tier care. I would definitely recommend Heather when you need a sitter for your fur baby.”
“Megan did an excellent job watching my dog. She kept me updated the whole time, with pictures, and dogs status. She has a great space for them, and is very attentive. I will definitely be a return customer!! Thank you Megan”
“Thank you so very, very much. Dorothy went beyond the call of duty in taking great care of my puppy and giving I'm plenty of exercise and fresh air. He slept most alleviating after picking him up! Ha!”
“Margalina, Joshua and their daughter were wonderful caretakers of our maltipoo for two weeks. I got adorable photos every day and regular communication about all the fun he was having becoming a farm dog (lots of great exercise). This was a last minute booking but we could not have been luckier. Our dog is a very social one but also clingy to his main caretaker, and Margalina quickly because that person! We will definitely use them again and can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“Kendra was awesome!!! I can definitely tell my Lucia was comfortable and not stressed. My dog was clean, her crate was clean and Kendra provided just enough communication when we were gone.”

“Jenna was so wonderful with Noodles. She was very prompt with communications and sent plenty of pictures and updates while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jenna, when you need someone to watch over your fur baby.”
“Hunter was responsive, flexible when my itinerary changed, and my pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of! Best scenario for boarding I can think of for us. Thank you again.”
“Peter was very professional, sent us pictures and took care of our dog. When we picked her up, she was a very happy dog to come back in our arms. He must’ve done something right, HAHA.”
About: Hi, I’m Trish! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and have an elderly dog and two cats of my own. My home is calm, comfortable, and pet-friendly, with a big fenced-in yard where your furry friend can safely play and get some fresh air. I don’t have young children, so pets can enjoy a peaceful environment with plenty of attention and one-on-one care. I also prefer not to crate animals unless it’s absolutely necessary, because I want them to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re in my care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of the family and make sure they get lots of love, attention, playtime, and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to help them feel as comfortable as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and give you peace of mind while you’re away! ❤️🐶🐱 I am currently working 2 days a week for now, therefore I have plenty of time to be with ur fur baby and give it all the attention, love and care it deserves I’m a true animal lover and a proud pet parent myself! 🐾❤️ I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us, which is why I treat every pet in my care like one of my own. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in the comfort of their own home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and learning their routines, favorite toys, treats, and all the little things that make them feel at home. In my home, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, fresh food and water, and regular potty breaks. When I care for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent while giving them lots of companionship and attention. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll keep you updated with messages and adorable photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets aren’t just a job to me—they’re family, and I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way! 🐶🐱💕
“Madison was the most amazing dog sitter! So accommodating, friendly and great with our two dogs. She sent photos/videos of our two goldens playing with hers and we felt so relieved knowing they were happy and taken care of. We will continue to use her any time we’re in charlevoix. I’d recommend her to anyone! 10/10 experience!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Alba home-away-from-home, 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 Alba.
<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 Alba 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 , 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 .
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.
