“Kelli is a great host and took very good care of our dogs overnight. She gave us the opportunity to do a meet & greet and sent us loads of pictures of them running around her spacious (& fenced!) backyard. We're grateful to have her help.”
“I highly recommend James, he watched our two kitties for an extended period. He gave them a dedicated room because they are not used to dogs and gave them plenty of attention. His communication was excellent and he shared pictures and updates regularly. I felt very confident about our pets' safety and comfort at his place. Thank you again, James!!”
“We are so grateful we found Deb!!! Coco absolutely had a fabulous over night visit with her and Rainy. She has a beautiful property with a special suite just for fur baby visits!!! She sent us videos and pics while were gone over night which helped me feel even more comfortable.... it was the first time I was away from Coco over night since we brought her home. She really went above and beyond our expectations! Next time we need someone to take care of Coco, Deb will be the first call we make!!!”
“Olivia was amazing!! Our dog, Joanna, had a fantastic time and Olivia along with her family made Jojo feel right at home. We got pictures every day along with updates and it was obvious how much fun she was having! Can’t thank Olivia enough for her amazing care and love for our girl!”
“As always, Katlynn and her family took amazing care of our dogs. We were gone for over a week and it brought such peace of mind knowing our pups were with the best people.”
“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”
“Amy was a wonderful sitter for our dog while we were away for a week. We loved all the updates she would share and I could see that our dog was very well cared for and absolutely loved staying with Amy. Thank you so much!”
“I would highly recommend Taya for dog sitting. My 11 year old Miniature Schnauzer mix, Trudie, gets anxious when I leave her with anyone, but Taya and her dog Leo were so kind and caring, which made me (and Trudie!) feel so much better about it. She sent pictures, and was very responsive to my texts. Overall, it was a very good experience.”
“Catherine did a great job with our anxious reactive little guy (9 yr old Morkie). She was very responsive and sent lots of photo updates. I recommend her if you have a dog that needs some personal space from other dogs that a normal kennel environment can’t provide.”
“Julie and Joe were the best. I don’t leave my girl (Teka) with just anybody. She is a 15 year standard poodle and they have her insulin shots and very well cared for. I would recommend them for anyone. Dave and Janell Gage”
“We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“My Sophie is high energy and still young dog and she was willing to take the challenge. Sydney was very kind and put my fears to rest. She sent pictures several times a day with updates. She has a large fenced in yard and also took Sophie on walks, just fantastic!”
“Amanda was amazing with our two dogs! They stayed overnight and felt right at home. She was very accommodating and communication was excellent. Her fenced backyard was a plus and she treated our dogs as her own.”
“The best review I can give is that I think my dog was depressed to be home because he missed Kathy and her husband so much!! Chewy loved being there,I loved getting the pictures to start my day. Best experience ever for me and my pup!!”
“Kaila was able to take Prince on very short notice. She sent us updates and pics throughout his stay. She has her own dogs and had a few others when we dropped him off and they were all very calm and well mannered. Prince seemed very content at Kaila’s. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Beth and Tracy were absolutely wonderful with Duke. Beth communicated often and took lots of pictures. They took wonderful care of our pup, which made us feel really good and allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Battle Creek
James was great. He provided daily updates and showed genuine care for Atlas, even going out of his way to make sure the sad pup ate. He was accommodating when something came up on my end. I’d never used pet sitting services before and I was nervous going into the experience, but James calm and pleasant nature and home really put me at ease; it probably also helped Atlas relax as well. I’d recommend to anybody and I’d book again for sure. Thanks, James!
Olivia was amazing!! Our dog, Joanna, had a fantastic time and Olivia along with her family made Jojo feel right at home. We got pictures every day along with updates and it was obvious how much fun she was having! Can’t thank Olivia enough for her amazing care and love for our girl!

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.
100% of sitters in Battle Creek 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 Battle Creek 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 Battle Creek.
<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 Battle Creek 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.
