“So, this was our first time doing this and honestly best experience we could ask for! Amanda was fantastic we did a meet and greet a day prior and it was great seeing our dogs enjoy other dogs other than each other. The pictures were sent and we loved that! Again if I could give 10 I would give 10 stars!”
“Mia our dog loved staying at Elaine’s house. This was her second state and when I brought her there, she ran right in the door ready to hang with Elaine. Thanks for taking care of Mia!”
“We took both of our dogs for 4 days to Dan. Our one dog had been to camp Bow Wow and hated it, the other had never been boarded. Both seemed happy (via daily pics sent). We would use them again”
“Wow! They were amazing with my dog Mala 💓 They were also excellent with communication. A very warm and friendly family that has love for animals. Mala got lots of love and attention. I definitely will be looking to rebook in the near future.”
“Bella recieved excellent care during her stay enjoying walks and company of other pets. Annmarie was able to get Bella settled in comfortably and kept us updated. Highly recommended and Bella has now found a second home.”
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.
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She sent daily photo updates and kept us informed about everything Koda was up to, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the pictures that Koda was having the best time. Rachel was so present with her and took her on lots of fun adventures. She was very accommodating and a great communicator throughout the stay. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable Rover sitter!”
“What can I say about Tim and Alexis I have not already said. Chase absolutely loves going there and loves the two of them. And her dogs are the perfect playmates for him and his vacation away from home.”
“Misty did a great job watching our dog! She was flexible and responsive to drop off and pick up times, gave frequent updates, and genuinely seems to enjoy and care about animals. Judging by the pleasant smell of our dog at pickup, I think Misty even gave our dog a bath. Will be booking with Misty again in the future!”
“Kathy was outstanding with our pup, Cali. She provided daily updates and pictures making us feel very comfortable while being away. Will use Kathy again in the future, highly recommend!”
“Brenda is awesome. We were hesitant to leave our Millie for so long but Brenda made us feel comfortable right away. She and her hubby took great care of her. Millie gets along well with her dog, too.”
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
“Emil (and Sarah) we fantastic hosts. Sully was happy, healthy, and a little tired after playing with a few friends. When I came to pick him up, all of his stuff was already prepared, and I could load it in the car without having to worry about hanging in to him - very thoughtful!! He's slept most of the remainder of that day, and looked to be very happy. I had zero worries, doggo is happy, pickup was stress-free and easy, five stars!! Thank you Emil!!”
“Aaron is super wonderful! Every time we book with him, he has been very attentive to the needs of our dog, he communicates multiple times throughout the stay and Rocky has a great time there! We will definitely continue to book with Aaron!”
“Nicholas was so kind and patient with my 4 month old puppy. I was nervous leaving her for 5 days but Nicholas sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. My pup bonded instantly with Nicholas’ dog, AJ, who was so careful and patient with her. Would 100% recommend.”
“We got several lovely pics of our girls over the duration of their stay. They came back happy and healthy, and had a great time socializing with the other friends that were there, even with the bigger dogs💜”
“Eunju spoiled our labrador completely! She took her to various parks for long walks and puppy adventures. Eunju makes it easy to travel with peace of mind, sending daily updates & taking care of our dog so lovingly.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Drayton Plains
Jasper had a wonderful stay while we were on vacation! He’s still a young puppy, and he had an absolute blast spending the week playing with their dog in the backyard. It was such a relief to know he was having fun while we were away. We’d happily book with them 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.

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 Drayton Plains home-away-from-home, 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.
<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 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 , 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 .
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.
