“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“Sabrina along with her husband and children spoiled chance all weekend. He had a wonderful time playing with their pup. I’ve loved getting all of the pictures and updates daily. I would recommend Sabrina for any of your pet care needs.”
“Michelle was a fantastic dog sitter and was very accommodating. She kept us updated on how Yuri was doing while we were away, which was great! Thank you so much Michelle for taking care of our Yuri girl. :)”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
About: Hi, I'm Kassidy! 👋 I'm a homeschooling mom of two, a longtime dog owner, and someone who genuinely loves having dogs around! When your pup stays with us, they're welcomed into our everyday family life. No spending the day alone in a room! Instead, they'll have plenty of company, playtime, outdoor breaks, and cozy places to relax. 🤎 Here's what your pup can look forward to: 🐾 Lots of company! I'm home much of the day, so your dog will have someone around for attention, potty breaks, and cuddles. 🏡 A cozy home environment! Dogs are welcome to hang out with us throughout the house, whether that's playing with toys or snoozing nearby. 🌳 Fenced yard and outdoor fun! We have a fenced yard for supervised potty breaks and playtime, plus a nearby park for walks. 🤎 Care that fits your dog! Some pups love to play all day, while others would rather curl up and nap. I'm happy to follow their usual routine! 📸 Pictures and updates! You'll get updates during your pup's stay so you can see how they're doing. I've had my own little dog for nearly 11 years and have also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, including helping with medications and overnight stays. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, and I'd love to make their time away from home as comfortable and fun as possible! As a homeschooling mom, I'm home much of the day with my two kids. That means plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day! Whether your dog is here for daycare while you're working or boarding while you're out of town, I'll work to keep their normal feeding, potty, and rest schedules as familiar as possible. Your dog's safety and comfort are a big priority in our home! We have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and safety gates inside that allow us to create separate spaces when needed. I also have two children who have grown up around dogs. They know how to be gentle and respectful, and all interactions between children and visiting dogs are supervised. Every pup is different! Before their stay, I'd love to learn about their personality, routine, feeding schedule, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I'm also happy to schedule a meet and greet so we can make sure it's a good fit for everyone. 🐾 And of course, I'll send photos and updates while you're away!
“They were absolutely amazing working with my travel schedule and taking care of my dog! They sent me adorable pictures and even did a 4th of July photo shoot! They went above and beyond when i miscalculated how much food I needed to send and went to the store! 100% recommend and would use them again!”
“We were SO happy with our overnight stay for our dog Maddy. She looked like she was comfortable and had a great time playing with their dogs Ember and Yoshi. Thank you Linda and Walter!”
“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”
“Nikki and her family watched our two Aussies over the new year holiday. The girls were so very loved and well taken care of. She sent daily pictures of the girls playing out in the snow and messages with updates that made our time away so much easier. I highly recommend Nikki for your dog sitting needs. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future.”
About: I have experience with animals in all settings. I have helped distract puppies when they receive their first shots and I have helped dogs who get laser therapy. I have helped care for the pets family and friend throughout my entire life. I have always enjoyed helping people but helping pets is so special. I work part time 0.5 mile away from home. I usually work from 12pm- 8pm. Or later in the evening usually between 5pm - 2 am. When I am not home my boyfriend is home most of the day. I live in a safe and quiet apartment, without a fenced in yard. I have an American bulldog mix. I enjoy going for walks and bringing out the best in my favorite fuzzy critters.
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a kid—everything from birds to cats and lots of dogs (seriously, so many dogs! lol ). Taking care of animals has always been a natural part of my routine and something I truly enjoy. Over the years, I’ve also volunteered helping care for animals in need, including strays and rescue dogs. I’ve helped with feeding, cleaning, basic care, and giving them love and attention when they needed it most. I’m passionate about animals and treat every pet like family. Whether it’s boarding, walking, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for just like at home. I’m a soon-to-be mom taking a step back from traditional work to focus on my family. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to turn my love for animals into a little side hustle! I genuinely enjoy being around pets and would love to give your furry family members lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule and keep my availability updated on Rover, so feel free to check if my schedule aligns with your needs. I’d love to meet you and your furry friends! My home has a large, fully fenced backyard where pets can enjoy some safe outdoor time and play. I also have baby gates to create separate spaces when needed, giving each pet room to relax and feel comfortable. My own dog sleeps in a crate overnight, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and boundaries they are used at their home.
About: I've had dogs since I was a child. I've had lots experience with potty training dogs. Many friends and family have trusted me with their pets (dogs, cats, lizards) while they were on vacation all in their own home. I currently have a large fenced in yard that my sheepadoodle loves to run around in and play fetch. All pets will be kept separate from each other during their stay. They will be cuddled and loved as our own! I work part time 2 minutes away from my home and come home around lunch time to let my dog out so I could very well let yours out as well. I have a large fenced in yard, I also have two large crates in our house and a larger cage in our garage to use if needed. Your pet would be kept inside our home and treated as our own.
About: I have 7 years experience with cats, dogs, and various other animals! I am very caring and devoted to the animals I care for & watch! I’m always available & always open to taking new animals! I currently need to come up with $700 before the 22nd of June for an emergency, so I’m willing to take all offers for animals! I do have a gofundme if anybody would be interested in viewing or sharing it as well, but looking to take any & all pet requests right now! I do have a kitten, & always have cat food & everything included on hand.. I will also be providing sometimes for the animals I get requests for! :) I have open availability! The animals I care & provide for always come first! I always make sure they’re needs are taken care of from the top of the morning till the end of the night. I show affection & make sure the animals in my care feel very safe, loved & cared for! I make they’re happy & healthy, and in a well maintained home

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 Buena Vista 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 Buena Vista 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 Buena Vista.
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 Buena Vista. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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 Buena Vista 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.
