“Thank you Angela! She took wonderful care of our dog, Budd. Helped manage his anxiety during thunderstorms, kept us up to date on how he was adjusting, and send sweet photos!”
“My high-energy dog loves staying here! He’s gets lots of outside playing time and they send many pictures and videos. Natalia always responds quickly and is very accommodating!”
About: At Deerbrook Petbnb, your pet is treated like family. I’ve been proudly providing trusted, in-home pet care in the community since 2017, with a focus on comfort, routine, and personalized attention. Every pet is unique, and I believe their care should reflect that. You tell me your pet’s routine at home, and I recreate that same experience in my own home—helping them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s something I take great pride in. By keeping my numbers small (up to 6 dogs at a time, along with cats), I’m able to provide hands-on, one-on-one attention, ensuring every pet receives the love, care, and interaction they deserve. My home is designed with your pet’s happiness in mind. Situated on a beautiful acre-and-a-half property, dogs enjoy at least three 30-minute free-play sessions each day, giving them plenty of space to run, explore, and burn off energy. For additional outdoor time, we also have a spacious 30x30 ft outdoor kennel area where dogs can safely socialize, relax, sunbathe, and play. Cats are just as well cared for, with a dedicated cat room featuring climbing trees, window perches, and wall-mounted jungle gyms to keep them safe, stimulated, and comfortable. At Deerbrook Petbnb, I combine my passion for animals with a commitment to exceptional care—so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I run a full-time, in-home pet boarding business, Deerbrook Petbnb, and have been doing so for the past 9 years. Pet care is my primary focus, and my daily schedule is fully dedicated to my clients, their pets, and their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow the same routine you have established at home and replicate it in my own home to ensure consistency, comfort, and a smooth transition while you’re away.
“Samantha and Zach were super professional and responsive when our puppy was boarded with them. They made sure to send us lots of pictures and videos as updates! Will be bringing him back as he had the best time!”
“Whitley was wonderful! I think my dog would have liked to stay with her longer. She worked with Phoebe to make her feel comfortable and at home. I also received cute pictures frequently. I would definitely recommend boarding with Whitley.”
“Christopher took care of my dog, Maggie, while I was away during a difficult time. He was responsive and provided updates and pictures throughout the day. I’m so glad I was able to find him last minute before my trip.”
“Gerrie and her family did a great job watching my pup over Christmas. Koa was a bit sleepy the day I brought him home, so he must have had fun during his stay running around with her kids and dogs.”
“Amazing!! Our doodle loves going to Kellie’s to hangout with her doodle and her kiddos. She does a great job accommodating and keeping us updated with pics. We’ve used her twice now and will continue to do so!”
“David was amazing! We needed a last-minute overnight boarding for our puppy, Teddy, and he was incredibly responsive from the start. He was friendly, communicative, and immediately put our minds at ease about leaving Teddy for the night. We truly appreciated his kindness and flexibility, and we'll definitely be using his services again. Highly recommend!”
“Britnie is absolutely amazing!! Being new to Michigan, we struggled with finding someone to take care of Luna while we had to leave for the weekend on a plane back to Florida. It’s hard to trust just anyone with taking care of your best friend! Especially being so far away. We gave Britnie a try as I had a good feeling. She assured me Luna was in good hands and to enjoy our vacation. She exceeded all of our expectations!!! I received message and picture updates about Luna all weekend which my family and I enjoyed and greatly appreciated! Britnie is just so sweet and gave us the comfort we needed and the love Luna needed. Luna especially had a blast with all the dogs and Britnies fam I seriously don’t have enough words to say how much we appreciate you! Luna says thank you for taking care of me :D I would love to come back again!”
“Thank you so much!! Very helpful and Bella misses you guys already! She cried in the car as we pulled away from your house when I picked her up”
“Craig was so kind and gracious to Cooper! He sent multiple pictures of our pup per the request. Cooper was so loved and had a great time. Would rebook!”
“Amanda was great with Cooper. The meet and greet was very relaxed, but it made me feel at ease that she clearly has lots of experience and confidence with pets from her vet job and boarding. I love that she sent pictures and Cooper had a fantastic time in her care!”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - St. Joachim
I cannot describe how thankful we are to Colin. Previous sitter from Rover cancelled service an hour before start as we were coming out of town, this situation was very stressful. I've reached out to at least 15 sitters in the area and either didn't get response or they said they can't help, even though their profile said accepting last minute bookings. Colin responded within 10 minutes and he was nice enough to take a risk and accomodate us. Super professional, absolutely amazing with dogs. Area is beautiful and spacious. Anubis had an amazing time with him. Communication was incredible. I highly recommend Colin to anyone who is looking for someone who will take a great care of your pup. Thank you, Colin, we will definitely use your service anytime we are in the area!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your postal code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their St. Joachim 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 favourite hang-out spots in your St. Joachim
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.
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 do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
