“Peter did an amazing job! He sent pictures and took my pup on multiple walks! He was super flexible on pickup and drop off times too! We will be using him again for sure!”
“Cheyenne was very gracious and respectful dealing with my schedule changes. Also, my Willow came home in a happy (and sleepy) mood! I can tell she got lots of play time in!”
“Thank you so very, very much. Dorothy went beyond the call of duty in taking great care of my puppy and giving I'm plenty of exercise and fresh air. He slept most alleviating after picking him up! Ha!”
About: Hi! I’m Abby — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-in visits, I always treat pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home and I am able to care for your pet throughout the day. Drops-in or in home boarding welcome! I am available 7 days a week! I have 2 beagles that will make your dog feel right at home! We live on a wooded lot in a secluded area. Daily walks provided!
“Heather was amazing! I have a super hard time leaving my pup for any length of time, but Heather made it super easy. Sammy had a blast and learned a lot about self-control!!! She is a great sitter and trainer! He already misses her and her pups! Will for sure rebook in the future!!!!”
“Kendra was fantastic with Sara. She sent pictures and let me know she was doing great. I really appreciated the extra mile. Would use again for sure. Added bonus her mom’s a groomer downtown East Jordon so made an easy pickup and drop off spot.”
“I reached out to Megan as a last minute booking for our two pups. She was able to take them and was even flexible when car trouble made us very late. She sent photos and updates of them while she had them which helped me feel better. Bella and Strawberry, both under 25 lbs, made themselves at home with 100+lb doggies. Bella is still young and had lots of fun playing with the big doggies. She’s also escaped from our house a couple times. Megan’s yard is very secure. I highly recommend Megan to take care of your pups!!!”
“Such a wonderful and relaxing time for road-worn Millie! It was wonderful that Coleen was available and her home and environment were so peaceful! I would highly recommend Coleen for any care for any pet. I felt like Millie had a nice vacation with her Auntie🥰. Will be using her again when we return to TC next spring.”
“Peter was very professional, sent us pictures and took care of our dog. When we picked her up, she was a very happy dog to come back in our arms. He must’ve done something right, HAHA.”
“Margalina, Joshua and their daughter were wonderful caretakers of our maltipoo for two weeks. I got adorable photos every day and regular communication about all the fun he was having becoming a farm dog (lots of great exercise). This was a last minute booking but we could not have been luckier. Our dog is a very social one but also clingy to his main caretaker, and Margalina quickly because that person! We will definitely use them again and can’t recommend them highly enough.”
“We left our golden with Jennifer for 9 days, and he seemed to have a great time hanging out. He got along well with Jennifer's smaller dog. She sent us photos now and then (we didn't want them daily), and that eased our mind that he was being well cared for. Recommend!”
“Our dog has a great time with Madison and enjoys playing with her dog. She is very accommodating with our dogs routines and flexible about drop off and pick up times.”
“Hunter did a great job caring for our multiple pets these past 5 days! He immediately connected with all 3 of our dogs upon meeting them. He is kind, reliable, super helpful and kept in touch throughout our time away. Very thankful to Hunter for keeping them safe, happy and healthy.”
“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Lucy. She and Dave have a large fenced-in yard and took Lucy on several walks. She was excellent at communicating, including sending photos and videos. Will definitely hVd her board Lucy again!”
“Bob kept our dog safe and happy. He was quick to respond always, and sent a couple photo updates daily, as I requested. Our dog loved playing with Bob’s dog, Parker, while we were away. :) Bob goes above and beyond - he took our dog to the lake several times and on a couple walks daily. He is very knowledgeable and reinforced some training while we were away.”
“Kimberly H. and her family including sweet doggie Millie were perfect sitters for my senior Cavalier King Chas. Spaniel Harley. He was very relaxed when I picked him up after 5 days. A good experience for all!”
“Christine and Troy were absolutely wonderful with our dogs. They communicated clearly and consistently and it was obvious that they cared deeply about the comfort and safety of our dogs. They gave them heaps and love and attention and let them roam throughout their warm and welcoming home. They catered to the dogs' quirks and individual wants and needs. I would be thrilled to have Christine and Troy take care of our older dogs again.”

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 ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Central Lake 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 Central Lake.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Central Lake 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.
