“Barbara & Dirk are excellent dog sitters. They are very loving to the dogs and very welcoming. Zoey their small Morkie is adorable and very charming. She is a great hostess and plays so nicely with her visitors. My dogs walked right to the front door and were happy to spend the day with Barbara, Dirk and Zoey after meeting them. We are anxious for our next visit and highly recommend them.”
About: I just made the compassionate choice to set my dog free from his pain. I was a dad to a 7 1/2 year old Schnauzer mix who was just the best. I used to watch pups for teachers, coaches, and family members before I moved out and got my pup! I’ve watched dogs of all sizes and would love to get to spend time with your pup too. I work a hybrid schedule right now, so I’m usually available around lunch times or in a pinch to go make an appearance for your pup and make sure they’re taken care of. Depending on your needs I can usually be flexible with my time to make things work. My house has a fenced in yard, and I love going outside with dogs to play, throw the ball, or just hang out with them. Wherever I need to be for them, I’m there! They will be able to explore my house, be in furniture.
“She is so fantastic! Her backyard is huge. Our dogs are still asleep and it's 16 hours since we picked them up. We're definitely going to ask her to dog sit them again. She's very friendly and open and communicates very well. We also got pictures during the day which was really nice. I think they had a fantastic time.”
About: I’ve owned several dogs, large and small breeds, most of my life. I am a dog lover!!. I am a retired registered nurse, and recently had to say goodbye to our beloved lab, Mack. I am missing a furry friend and would love to meet and care for your pet. I have a lovely setting for boarding your dog or cat. I live in a wooded area with large lots and long meandering roads for walks that are away from busy roads. I am home full time since I retired and love to walk, so your dog will get lots of exercise staying with me. I usually only take one dog at a time, however if you have 2 pets from the same household, I would take both. I would also take 2 dogs, each from different households, if both pet parents agree. I will give full attention to your pet during boarding, doggy day care, drop in visits, and walks. I will love and play with them and follow any specific instructions for pet care you have. I will communicate with pet updates during our visits and send you pictures of your pets daily activities.
“Sheila is an amazing person and caregiver! Today was our dog’s first day with her, and our doggo was loved and very well taken care of. Thank you, Sheila!!”
About: I was an owner of dogs for a number a years. We loved having them but we are last dog passed when our 2nd son was born we decided to take a break. I have been a dog watcher for my friends for years. Watching small dogs, big dogs and puppies. I finally decided to expand and over my services outside of friends and family. I will treat your dog like family. It will be part of my family while you are away. I live on an acre and half lot and there will be a lot of play time for your dog. I have cared for a diabetic cat and dog so I can give injections.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂
“Bill and Sandy are fantastic! They made us feel so comfortable dropping our dog off for the first time. We also had some special requests about his care and they had no issue accommodating. We will definitely be bringing our dog back.”
“Kelcie and Kyle take excellent care of our doggies and even sent them home with sweet notes and a gift/ toy. They are wonderful and we feel very fortunate to have them to watch our puppies!”
“Stephanie was great! Super friendly and timely. We really appreciated the pick up/drop off option. We can tell our pup had a great time and was well cared for. 100% will be going back the next time we need someone to watch Finn!”
“This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone and we were a little apprehensive, however, Holly was awesome. After talking with her in person we were at ease about leaving Ruger with her. I will use Holly again and I highlighted recommend her.”
“Marija is wonderful with Poppy! He is so excited to see her when we drop him off for the day or overnight. I am so happy to have her watching Poppy when we can’t. ❤️”
About: I have always loved animals and had pets my entire life. Currently have a dalmatian that loves to play and could use a friend to help them both burn energy. I work from home and would love to give my dalmatian, Bennie Mae, a walk with a new friend! Also, my schedule is very flexible. We have a dog-proof home with plenty of space to run and play. Nearby park with room to roam outside. Wonderful neighborhood to go on walks.
“Shannon was a wonderful sitter for our pup for the day! She was available to take him at the last minute on a holiday and my dog had a great time with her. When I arrived to pick him up Shannon walked away from my pup to retrieve something out the house and he went to follow her because he wanted to go where she went. He loved spending the day with her, her dog and her family ❤️ I highly recommend Shannon and will definitely use her in the future!”
About: 15 years of shelter volunteer work plus caring for my own dogs for 16 years. Frequently dog sit for both of my daughters and my son-in-law. After losing my last dog at 17, I would love to provide care, love and walks for yours. I work from home and set my own appointments outside of the home so I can determine precisely when I'll be home. Although I don't have a fenced yard we have a great neighborhood for walks. Dogs should be able to free roam as I don't currently have a crate; or you can provide a crate. Please bring any special toys, bed, etc. that will help your dog acclimate!
“My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety as well as fear of other dogs. It has been challenging finding the right caretaker for him. Richard and Sarah have been fantastic with Guinness and he enjoys his time there. A little out of the way to get him there but worth it because of how great Richard and Sarah are with our boy.”

Barbara and Dirk did an excellent job taking care of Charlie! They were very professional, clean, caring, and loving with him. Charlie had a wonderful time and was clearly very happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Barbara and Dirk and would definitely trust them with Charlie again. Excellent experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was very skeptical at first about using a dog sitter. My kids had always been the ones to watch her. Circumstances would not let this be possible at time. Speaking with Kelli on the phone reassured me that this would probably be OK. We went for a meet and greet and it went over spectacularly. Shiloh is a sweet dog and she gets along with pretty much anyone. Including cats, dogs and chickens. I can’t say enough good things about Kelli and her family. That girls seem to love Shiloh as much as she loved being with them. I love the pictures that she sent to me and it showed my dog being very happy and content Kelli nothing but nice things to say about her and you could tell that they really liked her a lot. I think Shiloh will miss them as much as they will miss her. I would also definitely not hesitate to use Kelli services in the near future. If need be I would highly recommend her to anyone that needed to have their pet watch by Kelli. Thank you Kelli for taking such a great care of my sweet girl.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Brighton on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Brighton 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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.
