About: Hi, I’m Sarah! 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. My husband and I have rescued and fostered dogs for years, and we’ve had the joy of caring for many different personalities, sizes, and needs. Our dogs have both passed away within the past year and our house is definitely missing the pitter patter of doggy feet. I’m a stay at home mom, so your pup will have company and attention throughout the day. The longest they’d ever be alone is 1–2 hours if I run out for groceries or errands. I have two little ones at home, so I’m selective about which dogs I host, choosing only those who are good with both kids. I like to know each dog’s routine so I can keep things consistent for them- feeding times, quirks, favorite toys, or anything else that helps me care for them just like you would. If you’re looking for a home where your pup will be treated like family, I’d love to help. 💙 As a stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day and love having the extra company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime built into my daily routine. Our home is safe, welcoming, and dog-friendly. I’m selective about the dogs I host, ensuring they are good with children. I always prioritize safety and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I ONLY host one family at a time, that means your dog will be the only one in my home at a given time.
“Erin is great! My dog has separation anxiety so I was nervous about leaving him for the full day, but he did wonderful with Erin. She texted me throghout the day to let me know he was doing well. He also had other dogs to play with, which is great to get his energy out and keep him socialized. My dog had a great time and slept great that night! :) I will definintely be booking more days with Erin.”
About: From anxiety-ridden dogs to rough-playing kittens, I am the person to care for your pet! My approach is to understand your pet's personality, then strive to make them feel comfortable and secure. I am a recent college graduate and doing freelance work from home. This gives me so much flexible time to care for your pet, weekday or weekend! I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, and I treat my clients' homes like my own. I am patient and understanding, making sure every pet I watch feels safe and secure. As a pet owner myself, I know how much pets are missed while the owner's gone, so communicating with you, the pet owner, is a priority.
About: Erica and I have always loved & had dogs in our homes ever since we were kids. They were family, & we look forward to treating yours like family too. We have a very flexible with my schedule. We enjoy playing nerf dog, frisbie and fetch with the dogs during the day, and spending restful quiet time with them during the evenings. We have a nice sized fenced in backyard for them to play in, as well as a nice indoor sunroom that I have turned into a doggy indoor play area.
About: I grew up with two cats, and in 2020 I adopted a sweet senior from the shelter (she is in my profile pic)! The time we had together was wonderful, but she was diagnosed with cancer and has since crossed the rainbow bridge 💗 I am available for in-home care for your dogs and cats, and am able to come for a meet n greet so the pet can meet me and you can introduce me to their routine at home. I work remote M-F and can give your dog ample potty breaks throughout the day. I’ll be able to set up my computer on nearly any table, and we can discuss how best to connect to wifi. I am available for a meet n greet beforehand. The pets can get to know me, and you can show me their routine. We can discuss accessing the home as well. I am a tidy person, and can prep my meals prior to arrival! Please let me know if there are any special requests for your pet!
“Iris & Tomas helped watch our dog while we attended a pet first aid/CPR class nearby. This was our first time having anyone watch her, so we were a little nervous. They were able to squeeze us in last minute and do a meet and greet. They sent us many photos and played with her and kept her occupied until we could pick her up. We would definitely request them again if needed!”
“Carolina was so nice! She was super flexible with me as I was in a rush dropping off my pup. I got plenty of updates and photos throughout the evening. I would definitely rebook with her again!”
“Magnolia was wiped out in the back seat before we got 10 minutes down the road! Exactly what she needs while mom and dad are at work. Brianna also sent pics and videos throughout the day, which was nice.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with hands on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During high school, I worked at an animal hospital where I learned about animal behavior, handling techniques, and the importance of providing attentive, individualized care. In addition to my experience, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through pet sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or anything in between, I’m committed to treating them like family. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular updates throughout the day. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care in a safe environment. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I’m home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and attention. I can also easily accommodate your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure their needs are met. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: Your Dog's Second Home :) With a 5-year-old Havanese of my own, I truly understand the love and attention your furry family member deserves. Your dog won't just be watched—they'll be welcomed into a home where snuggles, playtime, and a watchful eye are guaranteed. My Havanese provides a friendly, playful companion, ensuring your dog feels right at home, not just looked after. Currently I’m working from home and given that I have a 5-year-old Havanese, pet care is already deeply integrated into my daily routine. My Havanese enjoys a structured day with regular feeding times, multiple potty breaks, and dedicated playtime. This existing schedule seamlessly accommodates additional furry guests. Your dog can join me & my dog for morning walks around the neighborhood, participate in midday play sessions in the backyard, and benefit from consistent supervision throughout the day. Having my own Havanese means I'm constantly attuned to canine needs and behaviors, making it easy to spot and address any concerns, ensuring a comfortable and happy stay for your beloved pet.
About: Hi pet parents, I would be happy to care for your dog while you are away. Since I moved to an apartment, it's been a while since being on Rover. For many years, I enjoyed having different dogs and their many personalities in my home. My home became there "home away from home" for my regulars. Pet parents became very comfortable, and trusted me, knowing I was a second mom to their babies. I am a mom to a very sweet springer spaniel. Her name is DeeDee. She is nine years old, shy and very mild mannered. The two of us are settled here, no one else in our place, and would enjoy having a dog companion occasionally. As DeeDee would tell you, I give lots of lovies, hugs and kisses. With all of my attention, your pup would feel safe and secure. Hesitant parents of senior or special needs' dogs can feel comfortable knowing I am experienced with their extra care needs. My knowledge and experience come from living and caring for dogs all of my life, as well as being a long time member of the English Springer Spaniel Club of Michigan. My springer friends are a wealth of knowledge from their decades of experience raising pups. I have learned obedience, socialization, grooming, show conformation, and health care, as well as true-to-life tips from these pros. I am home most of the time, and will limit my time away if I have your dog. I always prefer a meet and greet before your scheduled visit. At that time I will get to know your dog, ask you about their likes and needs, and determine if they are a good fit. I would be happy to give you references. The care and safety of your 'baby', is my priority. Thank you for your consideration. Margaret First thing in the morning is a walk, usually a couple blocks. Then breakfast. Then, usually, is a nap. Short breaks outside a time or two during the day. Walk again between 5-6. Dinner. Out again before bed, 11-1. This is DeeDee's schedule. Changes to accommodate your dog are easily added. Watch them carefully for signs of anxiety. Talk and touch them to assure them they are ok, and I am their friend. Make them comfortable with something that reminds them of home. Sit, talk, hold and pet to give them comfort and the feeling of safety. My apartment is small so I don't lose track of a curious visitor. Though I live in Pontiac, I'm in a safe complex on the very northeast tip. Auburn Hills is on the other side of Walton. That saying, I am very conscious of what is going on around us.
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and personalities, and I also regularly help care for my neighbor’s dog when needed. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will always treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime! I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I’m happy to accommodate their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. My community also has a beautiful walking trail and a dog park, which makes it easy to get outside for some exercise and fresh air. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog will have lots of company, love, and attention while they’re with me.
“Our puppy Echo was so well taken care of by Eileen. We appreciated her great communication, willingness to help on short notice, and photos of Echo throughout the day. We would love to have echo stay with Eileen in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn Hills
My dog being with Carolina for a daycare was so much relief to me because she was sending me pictures often also text messages. My dog(border-collie) has more energy than other breeds but she has handled it by playing with toys almost all day. I’m so glad that I’ve found a good hand for my dog while I’m working. 10/10!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Auburn Hills commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
