About: I have been a pet owner since 2010 but an animal lover my whole life. I am also a mom so I can handle pretty much anything and I have a flexible schedule. I currently work a remote part-time job so I am very flexible during the work day and at times after work and on weekends. I have my own car. I have a fully fenced yard at my house and my dog Clementine loves all animals! I am also interested in walking dogs or caring for dogs in other people's homes during the work day.
“Mengdongxue (Laura) was great. She took in my two dogs for 4 nights + and made it easy to drop off and pick up. Consistent photos and nice long walks. Felt very safe leaving my dogs there and will 100% utilize her again. Very sweet and good communication.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for all kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs, animal care has always been my passion. I’m comfortable and experienced with pets of all kinds! I also have experience caring for pets with Cerebellar Hypoplasia. I’m fully available anytime except Sunday (unless otherwise agreed to), and will work around your schedule! Your pets will be given as much attention as they desire. I have lots of walking room outdoors, not fenced. However my balcony is completely pet safe, fully fenced and covered, safe for all animals. I also have plenty of toys for any pet!
“Lauren and Tyler provided wonderful care for our dog, Ollie. They were always giving us updates and sending photos/videos. We felt very comfortable leaving Ollie with this lovely family! We trusted them completely and we would highly recommend them. We thank them so much for taking care of our boy!!!”
“Thank you Karen for taking such great care of Rufus. He seemed like he had a great vacation weekend with you and we really do appreciate it! We hope Rufus was able to entertain you as well! We would be happy to leave him with you again in the future, should the need arise.”
“I had a trip to visit my son and his family, but there was no way to take my little 7-month-old Shih Tzu Luna with me. I was desperate. At that moment, I did not know anyone with whom I could safely leave my dog. It was my first time using Rover. I was very lucky to see Marcin's profile. Intuitively, I understood that Marcin is the person I can trust with my Luna. This is a person who truly loves animals and cares for them with all his heart. Of course, at first I felt some anxiety, leaving Luna for the first time in a new place with new people. Marcin was constantly in touch with me, sending photos. There was no trace of my anxiety anymore. Marcin showed exceptional care for my furbaby. Luna also made a new friend Marshmаllow :) When parting, Marcin treated Luna with wonderful treats that he himself prepared. Luna couldn't stop until she ate them all:)) I can say with complete confidence: Marcin is the person you can safely trust your furbaby to. Your pet will be surrounded by sincere love and care. Thank you very much, dear Marcin!”
“Brigitte took excellent care of our senior dog! She was great with communication and updates, sharing multiple photos and details about how he was doing throughout his stay with her. He came back looking clean and smelling great! Thank you!”
About: With more than 30 years of experience as both a veterinary technician and professional pet sitter, I provide knowledgeable, compassionate care for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize health concerns, administer medications, and care for senior pets or those with special needs confidently and safely. Animals have always been a central part of my life. I currently share my home with my friendly doodle and my cat. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, medication administration, or simply extra love and attention while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time and have plenty of time to play with your pooch or kitty. Most days I am available before 8 am and by 2 in the afternoons. Your pet will enjoy a comfortable, safe, and welcoming home environment designed with animals in mind. I have a spacious home with plenty of room for pets to relax, play, and feel at ease. The furniture is pet-friendly, allowing well-mannered guests to feel like part of the family rather than confined to a separate space. Outside, pets have access to a large, fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore, exercise, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. The property also includes a pool, which is securely monitored and managed with your pet's safety as the top priority. Whether your dog loves to play, sunbathe, or simply lounge in the grass, there is ample space to accommodate their needs and activity level. I strive to provide a calm, home-like experience that maintains your pet's routine while offering plenty of attention, enrichment, and personalized care. My goal is for every guest to feel comfortable, secure, and treated as a valued member of the household throughout their stay. "To ensure individualized attention and a low-stress environment, I accept a limited number of boarding guests at one time."
“Oscar took great care of Frankie and was an excellent and fast communicator from pre-booking through our entire stay. Will definitely yes Oscar whenever we go out of town. She was in such good hands and we loved the daily pics/videos”
About: I have taken care of family dogs since I was old enough to remember. I grew up with 2 shih tzu's at home, and they were my fiercest protectors. I have taken care of both senior dogs and puppies. I love caring for dogs (every size and breed!). I know how hard it is to leave your best friend behind, which is why my goal is to give you total peace of mind. Whether we’re out for a long walk or curled up on the couch, I promise to treat your pup with the same love and devotion I would give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing they aren't just being watched—they’re being pampered, played with, and truly cared for. I’m currently working full-time (9 am-5 pm) Monday-Friday, so I would be perfect for a weekend or long weekend coverage. I am available Fridays after 4:30, and typically all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am also open to staying during the weekdays as long as your pet does not need to be taken out in the middle of the day. I can have pets in my apartment so I am available for boarding! And, I would be more than happy to do home-stays or quick drop-ins for walks and feeding!
“Deana was absolutely amazing! She and her husband, James, took such great care of my dog, Henny, during a last-minute boarding. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such a loving and attentive home. Deana truly treats your pet like her own, and it shows in everything she does. Henny was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Plus, her dog Shaggy is adorable and has such a similar personality to Henny :) It’s also a huge bonus that she lives nearby, making everything so convenient. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. She is a very kind and responsible person and I felt that I can trust her right when I met her. She updated us with pictures and messages every day, which was great. Absolutely will go back to her in the future!”
“Zelda loves her time with Laura, Manuel, and their dogs. She now gets excited every time we turn into their neighborhood. It’s such a relief to know she is well cared for!”
“Excellent meet & greet with Rachel and her partner Michael. You can tell Rachel is truly invested in making sure she provides the best possible care. My dog just stayed 1 night, but I received several updates and felt secure about my dog's stay. I would book again for sure!”
“My girl had a wonderful recent stay with Chris - came home calm, happy and so well-cared for. Love the picture updates while I’m away. Always a wonderful experience!”
“Zachary was fantastic hosting Spooky for an extended stay. He was very patient with Spooky building up his confidence in his temporary home and sent lots of photos and updates about how he was doing. I can tell from the photos Spooky became quite comfortable with Zachary and in his house. I would definitely request Zachary watch Spooky again.”
“I have nothing but great things to say about Rachel and the care she provided with my dog, Harper. My dog is decently anxious, but she felt right at home with Rachel and her pups. There is no hesitation to book with her in the future!”
Ann Arbor pet parents share their Rover experiences
Renée was wonderful and easy to work with. My husband and I were out of the country for over a week and had to coordinate with some friends and family to pick up and drop off our pup, Minnie, with Renée. She communicated with us and our friends/family and made leaving Minnie with her a breeze! This was Minnie’s first time being away from home and she seemed very happy! We will definitely be using Renée in the future!
Shannon is a pro- I could tell as soon as I met her that she has a lot of experience with dogs. She took great care of our 2 girls. Her set up at the house is very nice. Plenty of space for the dogs to play and lots of love and attention given to them as well. Shannon made sure to send us updates and photos which is always so nice to receive when we're travelling. I would 100% recommend Shannon to anyone considering boarding their dogs with her.
Griffin enjoyed another wonderful stay at Darcy and Dan's! They are always very responsive to messages and clearly take great care of my pup. Griffin got SO excited when he realized we were driving to Darcy and Dan's and zoomed around when he went inside, which is such a great testament to their high quality care! We loved seeing photo updates of him relaxing and playing.
Winkler was such a kind sitter for our high energy and anxious 5 month old puppy Appa. He handled stress GI issues and potty accidents and kept us updated frequently, and even took Appa to the groomer and had some helpful suggestions and tips for keeping him clean. Appa also had a good time playing with Cosmo who was able to handle Appa’s puppy energy and offer gentle corrections for him. Overall I would highly recommend Winkler as a sitter.
Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)
Kayden went above and beyond. Over the course of boarding, my dog, Goose's, neurological condition worsened such that she could no longer move herself around. Kayden went to much extra trouble to make sure she was still comfortable and getting up and moving around with his help. He kept us well-informed about how things were going and was really patient with Goose and nursing her until we got back. He was really great, and I can't express my gratitude enough for all he did for Goose!
Deaunna took wonderful care of our Daisy, a 4 y.o. Golden Retriever. Having a couple of other dogs around made her feel comfortable in the new surroundings and she settled in like she was part of the pack. The routine of Deaunna's busy family kept Daisy happily engaged with people coming and going. We particularly appreciated that Daisy had free rein in the home, and the back yard is fully fenced for playing with her new furry friends. Deaunna sent lots of pictures of her on the long walks and Daisy's tail was happily standing tall. Thank you to Deaunna and family.
Kiersten did a great job boarding our dog, Jillie. She charged a fair price, communicated well throughout the stay, and regularly sent pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She also took Jillie on walks and clearly cared for her like her own. We would definitely trust her to watch Jillie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable dog boarding.
Josie absolutely adored Madelyn, who provided attentive and loving care during her stay with us. Madelyn kept us updated throughout the visit and made us feel completely at ease being away. We’d love for Josie to spend more time with you again soon!
Brigitte was absolutely wonderful with Zhu Zhu. She will be our go-to in the future! She sent a daily update, and was reliably communicative while I was away. Best of all, Zhu Zhu was calm and relaxed when I came for pick up. Definitely rebooking if we need someone in the future.
