“Kelly honestly couldn’t have been better with our Maya. Maya is 18 yrs old and has a few special considerations. Kelly made our little buddy feel right at home, sent us pics and updates on what she was doing, how she was settling in and Maya even made some little friends along the way. Do not hesitate to let Kelly host your dog. She was absolutely the best we could have asked for.”
“Erin was very accommodating to our last minute need for a sitter. She sent updates and pictures every day and was quick to respond. She made sure our dog was eating (hand feeding) even though he was nervous in a new setting. Our dog had a fun time playing with other dogs in her backyard. Would recommend!”
“Patty took such great care of our Max. I think she spoiled him as much or more than we do! He always looked happy in her daily updates. We loved getting our “Max Report” in the mornings, afternoon and evenings. I knew I could enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good, loving hands.”
“Greta was great with my little guy.hes a maltese 14 an half years old. Blind deaf and no teeth. He ate good for her. She took him out 2 times. Its my first time to ever leave him. I was able to enjoy myself. Thank you i give her a 5 star anytime.”
About: I love all animals, and creatures! My goal in life is to own an animal sanctuary one day, to house rescued animals. I’ve been caring for animals since I was a pre-teen, and it’s where my passion and empathy lie. I’m very calm, loving, and would be honored to give you relief in knowing your fur children are left in good care. I have two dogs of my own and a few hermit crabs, and I even feed the squirrels, bunnies, & birds that frequent our outside space. Reach out! I’m excited to help! This is my business. I’m fully invested in expanding, and being available to current and future clients. Animals bring me joy. Caring for them, keeping them safe, and in their routine, in their families absence, is what I’m here for. A long with lots of love and play time! I’d prefer to do home drop in’s, but my dogs are very friendly and love to play. I have a fenced in yard, but at this point unless emergency, or further discussion I prefer to drop by your home!
“They did an amazing job. Our boy, Haku, always has a great time there and comes home tired from playing with their other two dogs. Haku is an American Akita and they are able to handle a 120+ pound dog, which isn't easy. Couldn't recommend more.”
“Martha did an absolutely wonderful job watching my dog Mac! This was my first time using her, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From our initial meet and greet all the way through pickup, she was incredibly kind, communicative, and caring. She sent me regular updates throughout the week to let me know how Mac was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. She was very attentive to his personality and made sure he was comfortable, getting plenty of attention, cuddles, and company. It was honestly so nice hearing how quickly Mac settled in and made himself at home! It was clear throughout his stay that Mac was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He seemed to really enjoy his time with Martha, and I was so happy knowing he was in such a loving environment while I was away. Martha was wonderful about keeping me updated and making sure Mac was happy and comfortable throughout his entire stay. I really appreciated how much care and attention she gave him, and it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed having him around. I would absolutely recommend Martha to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative to watch their dog. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time Mac needs someone to stay with!”
“She was kind and loving with my 2 big girls, and even tho there were some accidents (not used to a home without a doggy door) she was kind and understanding. She also sent frequent pics and updates so I didn't worry. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Teryn was absolutely wonderful! We were nervous having a stranger watch my pups, but Teryn put our fears to ease after meeting her. She also sent updates with pictures through out their stay, and my pups came home very happy. Teryn will be our first choice to pet sit in the future.”

About: In the past I was able to dog sit for this lady whenever she would go on vacation. I loved coming home to the dog and would take care of him like he was mine! I am available to walk your dog(s) after 3pm weekdays and anytime on weekends! I can also dog sit whenever! Preferably at the owners house! If I’m sitting at your house I’m sure to take the dog out as soon as I come home from work and even come home to them on my break to let them out.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
97% of sitters in Bridgeport 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 Bridgeport 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 Bridgeport.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bridgeport. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Bridgeport 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
