“Kelsey and her family made my pups feel at home the weekend they spent with them. They had never boarded before so I was nervous. She was very reassuring and communicative when I would text to inquire how they were. The dogs were safe and loved there. We would recommend Kelsey and her family as great place for your pet to stay.”

“Sally was very friendly and ChampE had no qualms with her or her dogs. He seemed very content in each picture sent. Although the doggy den has quite the dog smell, it seemed to help ChampE feel at ease and curious to learn every square inch. He barely noticed when I left. He was not over anxious to leave either. All in all I would say it was a very successful first stay. Sally is delightful.”

“She was so amazing, her and her family took such amazing care of our baby Ori while we were away. Even going above and beyond in giving Ori her ear medication nightly. They sent updates and pictures/videos daily. It was obvious they made her to feel she was part of their family and made her comfortable while we were gone. If I ever need a doggy sitter again, they are who I’ll continue to choose.”

“Rebecca was wonderful. We were nervous leaving our dog to go on vacation. He has separation anxiety. Rebecca was very understanding and patient with us, when we had a list of things about his daily routine. She put our minds at ease and kept us updated including pictures during our dogs stay with her. I know she took the best care of our dog. I think he enjoyed it also. We will definitely use her again, when we go on vacation, and will also recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have always had a deep love for caring for them. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to be responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs, handling everything from daily walks to overnight stays. I currently work at a dog kennel, where I care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through this experience, I’ve become confident in administering medications, managing feeding schedules, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or special care, I’m dedicated to making every dog feel happy and loved. I am currently a nursing student and am able to care for pets before, after, and between classes, as well as on weekends. I’m great at managing my time and always make sure pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or weekend stays. Every dog is unique, and I always adjust my care to fit their individual needs, energy levels, and personality. Whether your pup loves long walks, prefers quiet cuddle time, needs extra patience, or has specific medical or behavioral needs, I’m confident in creating a routine that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether I’m caring for a playful puppy or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

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 Avondale 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 Avondale.

<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 Avondale 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.
