“Toni is amazing with my 90+ pound bully mixes. She knows how to handle large breeds, administers medications and treats my big boys with love. Toni is a God send for us.”
“Aiden was great to work with! Very flexible and great at communicating. Emmy had such a wonderful time and was spoiled with attention. Would definitely recommend and planning on rescheduling with Aiden again!”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was young and many friends and family rely on me to walk, feed, give medications and care for their animals. I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter for a few years growing up and I currently work at a animal daycare and boarding facility. Im currently working a part time job so my schedule is super flexible during the week day! I am also available any time during the weekends. I have a large open yard for your fur baby to run around and play as well as large rooms in my home to roam around. I have a older friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company. I can also accommodate anything that is needed to make it comfortable and stress free as possible.
“Janeen is absolutely amazing. My dogs LOVED her and they are both special needs —so them being comfortable and with a trustworthy person is a huge deal For me! I will definitely book Janeen again!”
“This weekend was our 11th time booking Desiree and we’ve been using her since March of 2020. We’ve had to book outside of Desiree maybe 3 times since we had relocated in the past and it was SO hard having to go with someone else because Desiree is just great & our pup really loves her, her family & her home. I’ve left a few reviews previously but wanted to leave a more recent one. I’m a huge review/Yelp person and I know how it is when needing to make a decision based on reviews. This is literally your sign to book with Desiree :) not to mention, we always get tons of awesome pictures throughout our baby’s stay with her. And every time it looks our dog is having the time of his life! We love Desiree and will always book with her!”
About: I have professional experience working at a dog daycare and boarding kennel, where I was trained in dog behavior, group management, and safe play practices. In this role, I supervised playgroups of 15–30 dogs at a time, ensuring a safe environment while encouraging positive social interaction and maintaining a clean play space. I’ve also worked for a professional dog walking and pet sitting company, where I walked regular clients’ dogs and completed many in-home visits. This experience helped me develop strong reliability, attention to detail, and comfort working with pets in their own homes. Outside of work, I’ve owned dogs my entire life and truly consider my dog my best friend. I also have many years of experience pet sitting dogs and cats for neighbors and family friends, including caring for puppies and young dogs. I recently graduated, so my schedule is fairly flexible and can vary throughout the week. I’m often available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on the day. Feel free to reach out with your dates and times, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. During visits, I make sure pets get plenty of play, attention, fresh food and water, and potty breaks as needed. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines or special care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I do my best to create a calm, positive experience so your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved until you return. Spending time with animals is always the highlight of my day! 😊
“Matha has taken such special care of my boy. She's made him part of her family, and he's become part of her dog's pack. They are such special people, and I cannot recommend them enough. It's a perfect, loving home for anyone's best friend.”
“Winston loved Kris and fam. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, despite his anxiety. Winston seemed to really get along with her pug! She was very communicative and sent photos and videos. She even dropped him off and made sure he was settled because I had a red eye flight. She also gave him a Christmas stocking which was so sweet. He loved it!”
About: I have offered animal care services for 15 years. My experience includes daycare, medication administration, drop in visits, dog walks, and care for other animals such as cats, chickens, and other farm animals! I have little kids so services I offer require your dog be comfortable around kids, although their direct interaction will be limited. I have 2 dogs at my home. I currently work from home and have open availability. I am typically awake early, and can adjust my schedule around your needs with the exception of my kids bedtime routine :) I have a fenced in yard. I offer a crate if needed for eating or breaks. I offer baby gates if needed. I have many years experience and both of my parents have worked in the animal field for all my life.
“Donielle is a phenomenal pet sitter! This was our first time leaving our dog, and we never worried for a minute. She has years of experience and took fantastic care of our pup. It felt like our dog was on her own vacation and having so much fun she didn't even miss us! I highly recommend Donielle for her professional and caring service.”
About: Through my time training in IPO, I have developed the skills needed to handle high-energy and working breeds with confidence. However, I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your dog is a high-drive athlete or a quiet senior, they will find a safe, structured home here. I’m home full‑time on a quiet rural property, so dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I provide regular outdoor breaks, feeding, exercise, and constant supervision throughout the day. I have a dedicated indoor and outdoor roofed kennel setup with five separate kennels, indoor and outdoor cameras for security, and a secure 16×20 fenced play area. Dogs stay in a clean, safe, structured environment with constant monitoring.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Lansing
Priscena was absolutely wonderful with my cat! She is incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I could tell that she really cared about pet and enjoyed spending time with him, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and pictures every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She was also super flexible and accommodating when I needed to change the drop-off time, which I really appreciated. Priscena is such a kind and responsible cat sitter, and I would absolutely trust her with my pet again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for and love their cat!
Chris gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. He was confident and poised when it came to caring for our busy puppy, which made it so much easier on us to leave her in his and his family's care. We received beautiful pics of our dog playing and snuggling, and reassurance that she was doing well regularly.
We don’t leave Lincoln very often so we were very happy with her level of comfort with Michaela. She came home happy and Michaela said she was great during her stay. If we need care for our dog again, we will definitely be happy with booking Michaela in the future.
This was the first time using Rover and Alex was just a great choice. She and her family were delightful, sending me pics and keeping me posted. It was a great decision to opt for personal care rather than a kennel. She was flexible, and I would seek her services again based on the good vibes.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 262 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Lansing. About 93% of East Lansing sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
