“Deaunna took great care of our older dog who is on several medications/supplements. We appreciated the daily updates and photos We would recommend her to anyone looking for a family setting to care for your dog while you are away.”
About: My 2 daughters and I are an animal-loving home. We have 2 playful cocker spaniel mixes, 3 dog-friendly cats, and 3 horses (at a barn). I work from home, so can provide constant companionship and supervision. My girls are also home for the summer and love playing with all animals. Our yard is over an acre with an invisible fence. I can provide a dog runner line, a long tie-out, or take your dog out on a leash. I can provide daily walks, including to our neighborhood pond if your dog likes the water. I am happy to accommodate any reasonable pet care requests, whatever they may be. I just ask that your dog be vaccinated and friendly with other dogs and kids.
“Amy did great with Figs. she paid attention to how he reacted with dongdong, and made good modifications. she fed him well and did great with playing and sending cool pics of figgy lounging! love it!”
“As always Kayden made our lives so much easier by taking our 2 rascally mutts while we had family over for the holidays. It's such a relief to have someone reliable to leave our girls with.”
“Laura was wonderful. She had a fenced yard and two dogs for our dog to play with. She was so understanding when he had some loose stools. Even fed him some rice. She went above and beyond. I wish she had clones in every place we stay. Would definitely use again. She also kept us updated and sent pictures.”
“Zelda loves her time with Laura, Manuel, and their dogs. She now gets excited every time we turn into their neighborhood. It’s such a relief to know she is well cared for!”
“Marija and her family are great! My coco loco had a blast. Probably shed a few pounds too, since he had a fun crew coming and going. I am so pleased with her attentiveness to keep us updated and in the know how of who he was running with. He was in good hands! Thanks again, Marija! This helped us knowing he’d enjoy himself away from home! Doggie vacation for sure😁”
“We boarded our dog Bella with Erin over a long weekend; it was Bella's second stay. Bella was very excited when she arrived at Erin's house! Erin sent us lots of photos and updates so we knew Bella was having fun.”
“Andrew was great! It was my first time leaving the doggy with a stranger, but he set up a meet and greet and kept me updated so that I barely worried my whole trip. He even convinced Dr. Pepper to take his meds, which is no small feet. If I ever need to travel again, I can say with confidence that Pepper will enjoy his vacation with Andrew too.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Kristi and her family took amazing care of our pup while we were out of town. They were very accommodating and communicative. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well exercised, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! We will definitely be using them again.”
“Harriet had her first sleepover at Monica’s. I so appreciate the love and care she has received and Monica’s willingness to let her get used to visiting a little bit at a time. Harriet has a great time playing with the other pups and comes home happy and tired!”
“Dylan was absolutely incredible with our dog Quark. She has very high energy and loves to run so Dylan used a long leash to allow her to get out her energy; it was obvious how much fun she was having! Quark was treated like a princess and I am so so grateful that we found Dylan to be her dog sitter. Not only is he an excellent dog sitter but also he is a great person. Would definitely book again!”
“Kelsey and her family were absolutely amazing while caring for Charlie during my recent work trip! ❤️ From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Kelsey kept me updated throughout my trip with messages and lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious Charlie was having a great time and was treated like part of their family. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. As a flight attendant, being away from home can be stressful, so knowing Charlie was safe and cared for meant the world to me. Thank you, Kelsey, for taking such wonderful care of my little guy! I truly appreciate everything you and your family did for him. I would absolutely recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitter. I won’t hesitate to book with her again in the future!”
“JoAnn is the absolute best. Our boy Marty came back healthy and although he got dropped off with some skin issues she was so attentive to caring for him and providing his medication. We appreciated the daily pictures/videos and she was very responsive with any questions or concerns we had while away. Thank you again to JoAnn!”
“Our 1.5 y.o. pup spent 10 days with Mariana and came back happy, healthy, and knowing a few new commands and tricks. Totally trust her and will request her again when we need boarding.”
“-Very organized and professional -Flexible and accommodating -Firm and affectionate with the pup -Plenty of attention and stimulation, balanced with down time I hope to leave my pet here again.”
“Aylin was flexible, attentive, and responsive— it was great working with her to watch my big pup Athena. Her location is great and it was awesome that she could tag team watching my pup with her partner. I really appreciated the peace of mind on my long weekend trip.”
“This was my first experience leaving one of my dogs with a pet sitter. Before we would occasionally board our dogs with the vet. This was an excellent experience though and I prefer it over boarding with the vet. Rodney was great with my 2 1/2 month old puppy. His dogs, especially Murphy, played so well with Leroy. My little guy loves that big golden retriever. My puppy also came back a few lbs heavier and a bit taller, showing he was well cared for the whole time. When I wasn't going to be back in town until a bit later, Rodney was very accommodating about allowing my mum and sister to pick up the puppy for me. Overall it was an excellent experience and I highly recommend him.”

Caroline is excellent, excellent, excellent. My sweet heeler can be overwhelmed sometimes, but she always runs right to Caroline at drop off, and comes home calm and happy. Caroline regularly updates and her home is immaculate. Such a relief to have found a sitter to trust!
Zachary was great for the whole experience! It was the first time boarding our new dog, and Zachary came out to meet us and Pepper, answered questions we had, and Pepper seems like he had a great time! Zachary sent pics during our trip, and was fast and easy to communicate with, both leading up to the boarding dates and while we were away. Highly recommend!

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
