About: I’m 24 and have been around dogs my entire life, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life! I have a 5-year-old St. Bernard/Poodle mix named Grover, who is friendly, playful, and gets along well with other dogs. I live in a house with a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely play, explore, and get some energy out. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family—with lots of attention, love, walks, playtime, and of course, plenty of cuddles! 🐶💕 I work a full-time 8–5 job, but I have a flexible hybrid schedule! I work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so I’m home with your pets for most of the day on those days. I’m typically in the office Tuesday and Friday and am usually gone from around 7:30 AM–5:30 PM. Outside of work hours, I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention! For overnight stays, I’m happy to make sure your pets are comfortable and have everything they need while you’re away. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and boundaries—whether they’re an energetic pup who loves to play or a couch potato who prefers to cuddle! When pets stay in my home, they’ll have access to a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and lots of love and attention. My dog Grover is friendly and enjoys having other dogs around. When staying in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Katlynn and her family took great care watching our beloved Mr. Fox, an Airedale Terrier. She went above and beyond our expectations and will board with them again. Thanks so much! ❤️”
“I appreciate Angie and her family so much. Bentley is usually a ball of anxiety when he's boarded. They were great with him! I am aurebhe felt like he was home. He was well cared for and I was kept updated over the week.”
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our Lincoln! She was very responsive and sent updates each day. Lincoln seemed happy and relaxed - which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend Hannah!”
“Kijah was an amazing sitter for Winston! We received many photos and updates during his stay with her, and she was so sweet with our boy! I would recommend Kijah for your pet sitting needs!”
“Emily took great care of Mario while we were out of town. She was super comfortable with our very excited dog from the first time they met, and communicated with pictures and texts during his stay. Mario had a great time with them and his new friend, Skeeter! We absolutely won't hesitate to send Mario to Emily for future visits!”
About: I have been around animals for most of my life and have over 50 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve owned about nine dogs and currently have an Australian Shepherd and two sugar gliders, so I’m comfortable with both active dogs and animals that need more specialized care. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and attentive caring for your pets, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I'm a retired firefighter who went into nursing after that career but retired from that now, too. I really enjoy the company of dogs and they seem to enjoy me, too. My wife is in and out of the house because she still works full time, so you may or may not meet her. However I am the one who's retired and gets to be home with any fur babies 24/7 so you will be working with me directly. I have a fenced in backyard, a friendly Aussie who likes to play and numerous sized cages if your dog prefers that for sleeping or escape. I take a walk everyday (usually to the park two blocks away) and I would be happy to include your dog on my daily walk. If I come to your house , I'd be happy to walk your dog around your neighborhood , play ball or frisbee in the backyard or work on commands .. I have done all of these in the past.
“Rachel made me feel great leaving Oakley with her! Dog owner anxiety never leaves especially when you have to travel without them. She sent me plenty of updates and made sure to ease my mind before we left him! Thanks Rachel!!”
“My husband and I had to go out of town for a quick sat-sun trip and Kristina made us feel so comfortable leaving Mabel with her. She shared several photos throughout the weekend and we appreciated the one on one care she gave to our puppy. We hope to book with her again in the future! 😄”
“Thank you Stephenie !! Great experience with our pet sitter! She kept us updated by sending pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, Zoey was happy and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend!”
“Wow, what can I say… Jill ( & Sunny :))was amazing with our 4 yr old yellow lab, Callie! She was so loving and all about making a great experience for Callie. Her home was perfect and such a nice setting back near a nice river with a large yard with a fenced in area as well. Our dog could use her doggy door (once she got the hang of it ;) )and go outside to the fenced in yard and play/potty/whatever ….as she needed. Jill was great about taking walks, letting her swim in the river at her property, having playtime and providing constant attention and love. And her dog Sunny is so loving and was a great playmate for Callie. :). Such a reassuring feeling to have her with Jill while we traveled. Knowing she was getting constant attention, love, care, exercise, and play. I will never use a kennel or doggy care center again as long as Jill is available, thanks Jill ! :-)”
“Kate was AMAZING! She was quick to communicate the little details, she not only watched our dog Ziggy, but really made him part of her family! When she wasn’t sure on a special treat she asked first which we really appreciated and she sent pictures of our healthy thriving boy!!! We will absolutely book with Kate again- she really goes above and beyond!”
“Moose had a great time at Katrinas home. He was well cared for and came home happy. Katrina's communication was excellent. We will not hesitate to book with her again.”
“Daniel is always so sweet with our animals, we were gone on a longer than normal trip and it made us feel so much better knowing they were in good care while we were gone.”
“Kathy was amazing with my dog Molly. Molly was there for two weeks and I think she was sad to leave! She got along really well with Kathy's dogs. All this I know because Kathy sent me lots of great pictures - daily! Lastly, when Molly came home she had been brushed and pampered to the fullest. Her coat was shiny and free of shedding hairs. Loved it! Thank you Kathy for taking care of my Molly!”

Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
