“Chris has consistently been reliable with communication and updates on our pup while in his care! We feel confident having him as a sitter, and will always consider him first when it comes to booking through Rover :-)”
“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone my dog didn't know. Darla was very communicative during the stay and made me feel totally comfortable. She accomdated my dogs needs and made her feel at home during her stay. Great experience!”
“My dog Bruno seemed to enjoy his stay. He loves other dogs and people. Gentry was very welcoming and very much a dog lover. She sent pictures for reassurance, which I really appreciated.”
“Melissa went above and beyond to make our pups feel safe and happy while we were away. +She’s an expert with shy dogs - usually it takes our border collie several days to warm up, but with Melissa it was just a couple of hours. Would highly recommend using Melissa and her family for dog sitting.”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I was born and raised in Montague, MI and love everything about it. I have four crazy dogs, four wonderful cats, two guinea pigs, and a 7 year old son. I have 10 years of animal experience, working at two Muskegon County animal shelters and as a vet assistant. I am licensed and insured through my personal business, Muskegon's Poopin Scoopin LLC. With my knowledge, experience, and above all passion; I guarantee the best service possible. I'm currently working part time during the week, so I have extra time to love on your furry friend! I do most of my pet sitting without my son but if you have a pet that loves children, my son would love to join. Your home is my home and I will take care of your home as so. In my home, your pet can have free access to outside with the doggy door. All cats are kept separate from the dogs. All dogs are fed separately. Detailed lists of your pets routine are helpful to ensure each pet is cared for to your expectations.
“Patty is an amazing person and took such great care of our 9 1/2 year old Weimaraner when we needed to go out of town on short notice. She has so much experience and great skills with animals. Our Carlos took to her right away at our meet and greet, and had no problems when we left him in Patty's care. We will definitely have Patty take care of our fur baby the next time we need to go away.”
“Michelle was awesome!! She had my dog for 10 days and consistently kept me updated with texts and pictures. I could tell that he was very comfortable and happy throughout and upon pickup. I’ll definitely work with Michelle again very soon!!”
About: I have been a Equine Veterinarian Technician for just over two years now and previously worked 2 years at a small animal clinic. I love getting to meet, care for, and play with all different types of animals. I spend majority of my time outside. I love hiking and going on walks with our dogs. I have multiple years experience working with all different types of animals from farm to house pets. I currently have two box turtles and two pups Duke, a yellow lab retriever and Rocky, a terrier dachshund. I have plenty of time throughout my day and week to spend with your pets. If something is conflicting my availability I will make sure to be upfront and transparent before accepting the job. My number one goal is to do what’s best for your pet. Working at vet clinics you get to know all the tips and tricks to keeping your pet safe. When out on walks I always have a leash on your pet and never let them off.
“Melissa and Phil are fantastic and my favorite dog sitters! Bennie loves them and playing with their dogs Dixie and Winnie too. He must love being there because he can't wait to get out of our car and runs eagerly to their door. Melissa and Phil give lots of love and attention and send plenty of update pictures. They are the best!”
“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.”
“Derek is great! He’s quick to respond and is accommodating with drop off / pick up times. He sent pictures of my dog having so much fun with his own. Definitely recommend and will continue re-booking.”
About: I’ve always been the go to friend/aunt to pet sit. I love all animals and would rather spend my free time hanging out with a fuzzy friend. I would loveeeeeeee to walk your dog! I currently work from home and would love a buddy to hangout with! I live close to the bike trail and many parks and would enjoy a furry friend to take walks with! If you are in need of someone to drop in, have a place for your pet to stay or just a companion for your friend to take walks with I am the one you are looking for!
About: I come from a family that has always sheltered, rescued, and spoiled all the fur babies that come into our lives. Patience and affection are our gifts. I work from home part time. That leaves my schedule open to caring for others pets in my home or for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard and a large home with plenty of room. If your pupper is unfamiliar with cats I can ensure safe space kept between them. Walks, couch potato time, and kiddos in and out make for plenty of love and activity. My children are old enough to provide respectful space to pets that need it.

“Oakley loves staying with Lauren! He loves being able to run around and chill in the yard with the other low energy dogs. We love Lauren because she’s always on top of pictures of our boy for us!”
“Paige is the BEST! She took magnificent care of our bulldog, Darla who requires a lot of attention and lovies. Paige sent daily reports, funny anecdotes about Darla’s and sweet pics of our pudgy princess. She’s also very attentive and gives expertise in her care. I would highly recommend her and hope to book her again. Thank you so much, Paige!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dalton
Our first of now many future stays for our two girls with Chris. This trip was just 2 days and an over night. Chris sent pics of them comfortably snuggling with him that eased my anxiety of being away from our two. They were so very content with Chris, they didn’t seem overly excited to see us 🥴. Already booked a longer stay next week and a full 2 week stay later in October. Thankful for Chris and his love for our girls and their happiness with him.
We had a great experience leaving our dogs for the first time ever!! I was super nervous, but Christopher put our minds at ease the minute he met our dogs. Great communication and I knew the dogs were in great hands. They have been sleeping since we picked them up, so I know he played a bunch with them and loved on them just like we would. Definitely will rebook when we need to leave them again!
We’ve had a great experience with Kelli. This was our first time boarding our dogs. They both were very well cared for, despite being nervous Nellies and not being the most well behaved dogs. Kelli was kind and patient, in it for the long haul for a full week. Thank you, Kelli! 💖

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 Dalton 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 Dalton.
<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 Dalton 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.
