“Lia and Jonathan came through like champs! I only gave them a 1 day notice and they were gracious enough to fit Rogue in for the weekend. The communication throughout the stay was once again fantastic, so many pictures and quick notes on how the days were going. Definitely our go to place for Rogue❤️”
“We had a great experience with them and we will definitely be using them again! They offer a really welcoming space for your pets and you can tell that they care about every one that they take care of. My dogs stayed with them and I could tell by the pictures they had a great time. They weren't even excited to see us when we picked them up after being gone for a week! I was slightly offended but so happy they enjoyed their stay.”
“Eddy and Lola were well cared for during our trip. Great communication, accommodations for the pups were A+. I would definitely recommend Elaine and will use her services again for our next trip! BIG THANK YOU!”
“April is a wonderful sitter! She’s very caring, always friendly, keeps you informed, easy to communicate with…. Just wonderful! She took care of our Golden a few times and we love to book her again and again. Thank you April, traveling is much easier knowing Abbie is with you!”
“Best decision I ever made to book not only through Rover but with Mayrannie. She was absolutely wonderful sent me pictures and updates on how he was adjusting everyday. She was so so sweet to my boy!! I know he had a great time there because when I picked him up he was so happy and he was so exhausted from playing with her dogs. He's been passed out since we brought him home. We will definitely bring him there again. Thank you so much for everything we were able to enjoy our vacation with no worries knowing he was happy and being taken good care of.”
“Ted, was amazing — he watched Odin for us on very short and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We’ve gotten to know him and his dog Maizey in the neighborhood over time (Maizey’s always so friendly with other dogs!), and he’s just a genuinely kind person. He took Odin on regular walks, sent us photos throughout the stay, and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter!”
“Daniella and her family were so kind to our older dog, Josh. We had a family wedding out of the country and they took such great care of him. We loved getting the updates every day and meeting this special family! I’d recommend Daniella to anyone needing dog care.”
“Sarah was fantastic . She and her family welcomed Maizie into her home and took great care of her. She gave her medicine daily and sent us lots of pictures and videos throughout the week. We are so happy to have found Sarah and will be using her in the future.”
About: I am a Michigan transplant and an animal person with years of experience, including as petsitter, aquarist, veterinarian technician, field scientist, and farmer. I’ve worked with all creatures great and small, and am uniquely qualified to take care of your fish tank, farm animals, and exotic pets. I am also an avid organic gardener and I love to grow my own food. I own a quaint cottage home with a fully fenced yard. All animals are allowed on the furniture so that they can indulge in the comfort they deserve. I love taking quirky puppy pics in beautiful places while on hikes and adventures. Playing is a great way to establish trust and blow off steam, and I try to capture that on camera as much as possible. I am an outdoor enthusiasts, and when I lived out West I regularly offered "adventure" packages for dogs who benefitted from extended hikes. My own dog Velma is famous on the lake for being my paddleboard companion! I would love the opportunity to work with elderly or disabled animals, and am competent administering medications. It would be my pleasure to get to know your dog, cat, chicken, shrimp, goat, bird, hamster, and any other critters in your family! Feel free to contact me for references and resume. Animal - and seasonally, garden - services are my fulltime occupation, so the care of your furry family member is my top priority. Because I work for myself, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed to accommodate my clients' needs. When staying at a client's home, my practice is to leave it cleaner than when I arrived. I value my clients' trust as one of my greatest assets, and can ensure that your home and property will be respected at all times.
“This was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t family and Krysia made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Mochi had so many adventures and we loved seeing photos of her enjoying her time with Krysia. We will definitely be booking future visits for Mochi!”
“Shelly was excellent and Benji must have felt comfortable with her as he was pretty calm when we picked him up. Usually he is highly excited when dad comes back. Shelly sent photo via text of Benji and his new friends. Would definitely recommend.”
“Jenna did a wonderful job taking care of my Standard Poodle. After our meet and greet where I met Jenna, her husband and 2 dogs I felt they were an attentive and dog loving and dog centered family. I really appreciated their fenced yard and their flexibility and understanding that my dog was not perfectly trained, she still jumps and does not go for walks calmly. It was clear that Jenna's family was going to provide the same loving attention and lots of activity (playing with their dogs) my dog receives at home. Jenna was responsive when we communicated, she would answer within a few minutes. She sent pictures and updates. I could not have asked for a better sitter for my dog and I will definitely use them again in the future. My dog was happy and well cared for by Jenna!”
“We are so happy to have been matched with Erin. Our two dogs loved her from the first moment we met her. She made them feel at home and we could rest easy knowing they were well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
“Cynthia was amazing with Ella! She usually has a tough time adjusting to new environments, but she felt right at home here, thanks to Cynthia’s care! She ate all her meals and medicine, spent time playing outdoors, and given loads of love. I never had to worry about Ella while I was away.”
“Jen was amazing!! I was super comfortable with leaving Charlie in her care. She sent pics and updates which is so comforting when you have to leave your fur baby in the care of someone else. I would 100% book her again!”
About: Hello! I love all fuzzy friends! I have had cats my entire life. I am well experienced in their care and needs. I have also dealt with medical issues with my cats in the past, and have experience with administering medications. I also have a new Maltese rescue and love taking dogs on walks! I am a stay at home mom, so I have lots of availability (particularly during the day time) to help care for your pets when you need it! I am available for drop in visits, dog walking/play, as well as boarding for one dog or puppy (in addition to my dog). I will treat them with lots of love and care as if they were my own!
“Marie was absolute perfection with my German Shepherd! She has a natural gift with animals, and it showed from day one. I loved getting regular photos and updates throughout the stay; it gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and in great hands. I will definitely be rebooking with Marie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”

Whiskey had another wonderful stay with Elaine and family. We have used Elaine a number of times now and Whiskey is always excited for her visit when we drop her off. Elaine sends regular updates during the stay and has always been able to be flexible to accommodate us when we've had changes in plans. Thanks Elaine for taking such great care of our pup!
I’d absolutely recommend! Our dog Charlie stayed for overnight for over a week while we were on vacation. We were kept updated photos while gone. Charlie was dropped off at our home with his things right at the time we communicated and it was seamless. We wouldn’t hesitate to reach out in the future if needed again.
We would highly recommend this sitter! He watched our dogs, Alpa and Marty, and did a wonderful job. We really appreciated the photos and updates he provided — it gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for. Dogs came home happy and healthy! We would not hesitate having our dogs stay with Emil again.
Finn had such a good time with April and her pack! He loved having other dogs to play with! He came home one tired pup! April sent videos and pictures throughout Finn’s stay and let us know how he was doing each day! I would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
My furbaby, Lilly, loves Amber. If she is available. She is always our number 1 choice. She sends photos or videos daily and is easy to get a hold of if needed. Lilly also gets super excited when we get to Amber’s house which is a huge win in our book! Lilly often has anxiety so this is a huge peace of mind for us. I highly recommend Amber to anyone who has a furbaby they want to have a good time while they are gone.

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Drayton Plains can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Drayton Plains 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 Drayton Plains.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Drayton Plains. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Drayton Plains 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
