“My friend and I were traveling through Michigan and I hadn't planned to bring my 15 year old baby because he's never stayed over at a stranger's house, but all of the wonderful reviews of Darla convinced me! We got daily videos and updates of our pups and I felt so safe leaving him there and seeing him cuddled up on the couch and wagging his tail with the other dogs. He obviously loved the big beautiful backyard and even though he's deaf and a bit of an escape artist neither was ever an issue. Would absolutely bring him back if we're in the area again!”
“Christopher is really awesome. He took great care of my blind and deaf boy. He sent me updates on my Mo. Really appreciate how he cares for my old Mo. Thank you so much!”
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.

“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.”
“Thanks so much for taking excellent care of Nelson! Thanks so much for taking him for walks and treating him like one of the family. We would love to have him stay with you again!”
“I am very happy to have found Stephanie! She watched Goldie for 5 days while we traveled out of state. She was very flexible with drop off and pickup times. She sent pics and kept us updated. I’m sure Goldie got all the attention she wanted! I have already booked the next service! I trust Stephanie and would recommend her.”
About: Hello, my name is Lexi. I have cared for dogs (and cats) since I was 12 years old. Dog walking was my first job! I work from home with the flexibility to still care for dogs on the side. I have experience with all breeds and have owned a Rottweiler, lab, and beagle myself. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I have personal experience with administering medicine to animals (even when they will do anything in their power to not take it). I also have experience with dogs that have high anxiety and submissive peeing (my sweet lab) and am comfortable with handling aggression depending on the situation. I truly love animals and would treat yours like my own! I am currently working remotely and have a lot of flexibility with my job. I am available for stop in visits and dog walking almost any time. I also offer boarding pets in my own home. Whether you would like to drop off your dog on your way to work so they aren’t alone all day, or you’re going out of the town for the weekend and your fur baby needs a place to stay, I’m available!
“Teri was very nice and treated my dog as if she was her own. I felt very comfortable meeting her in person and I could tell my dog enjoyed her stay with her. Would definitely book with her again.”
“Thank you Megan for being a wonderful dog sitter for Coco! I was worried about leaving her for the first time and you eased my concerns very quickly on the phone. Appreciate all the pictures and text while we were away. That helped us know she was happy & being well taken care of with walks and snuggle time. I will highly recommend you to my friends & anyone looking for a sweet dog sitter (without pets of her own). Again a huge thank you! We will be in touch in a few weeks to schedule another over night stay for Coco. Karen”
“Dan and Kelly are great! Communication about the stay was excellent and I appreciate their flexibility with drop off/pick up times. The daily pictures/videos are much appreciated as we miss our sweet boy while we’re gone. Booker had so much fun playing with the other pups and he came home happy and tired- a perfect stay!!”
“Marissa was wonderful. She took our pup last minute. She was great at communicating & sending updates. We will for sure use her again in the future!”
“Very responsive and helpful for a short notice request for my 2 crazy country dogs, 1 blind. He took them to the dog park and walks multiple times, and his pup was a great energy for both my older dogs. Would recommend.”

About: I have nearly 5 years of pet-sitting experience caring for cats and dogs for family and friends. I’m attentive to feeding routines, fresh water, and keeping litter boxes clean so cats stay comfortable while you’re away. I respect each cat’s personality—whether they enjoy playtime or quiet company—and I also have experience giving oral medications if needed. My goal is always to provide calm, reliable care you can trust Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my schedule at Grand Valley State University. I’m completely available Friday through Sunday, available after 12 PM Monday through Wednesday, and after 4 PM on Thursdays. I’m happy to plan visits around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive consistent attention and care while you’re away When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure pets are safe before leaving, keep their space clean, and communicate with updates so you feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and reliable experience for both you and your pet.
About: I’ve always had dogs and love caring for animals. I lost my beloved dog and I miss her wildly. Spending time with dogs allows me to honor that bond and brings me genuine joy; I truly enjoy getting to know each animal unique personality. I treat every animal woth the same kindness, patience and love I gave to my own dog. I have a very flexible schedule and I can give pets the attention, supervision and companionship they deserve 24/7! I don’t work so I’m completely free to take care of your fur babies. We travel extensively in our motorhome, but we are based in Michigan. Our Michigan home has an acre of woods for the dog to enjoy. There are no roads nearby and it is very safe and quiet.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Egelston
The dogs had such a wonderful time! We were very happy to get daily updates around meal time on how they were and see photos and videos of them during their stay. It’s very comforting knowing your pets are at a great safe place! They always looked they were having fun. Very responsive and accommodating host as we were traveling from out of state and plans changed a bit. Highly recommend using rover and this host where the dogs can hang out and roam free and not have to be kenneled.

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 Egelston 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 Egelston.
<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 Egelston 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.
