“My Chihuahua is totally content with Jessica and Matt. They always send me cute photos of his stay. He curls up on their couch on his favorite blanket and makes himself right at home and he gets along great with their two Frenchies.”
About: Professional care for your best friend! With over seven years of professional, hands-on experience at industry-leading organizations like Leader Dogs for the Blind, I provide specialized canine care that goes far beyond basic pet care. As a Certified Professional Groomer with professional training experience and canine medical support, I offer a safe, structured, and enriching environment for dogs of all life stages—from newborn litters to high-energy adults. When your dog is with me, they aren't just being watched; they are being trained, enriched, and cared for by a credentialed expert. I also have experience in caring for cats as well as distributing medications. I love caring for animals! It’s my biggest passion! I’m always trying to learn something new! My schedule is pretty open , I work completely from home, and I’m available to supervise 24/7 and give as many potty breaks as needed. My goal is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible! Even if that means thinking outside the box and being a little creative!!

“Victoria is pleasant and went above and beyond our expectations. She accommodated our last minute request and provided texts and video during the doggy daycare stay. Would highly recommend booking with her.”
“I left Archie with Marty for the day, he had a great time! I received excellent communication and felt comfortable leaving Archie. I will definately be contacting Marty for Archie again.”
“Pfeiffer had an amazing time. Daria communicated well and took great care of my boy. Our furbabies mean so much to us so we need to ensure the care they get when we aren't around is top notch. When I picked him up, I could immediately tell how much fun he had and how well he connected with Daria. He didn't want to leave her.”
“We are so happy to have found Alexis! She and her husband have a very happy, loving and fun home for my dogs and they love their time there. Alexis is very reliable, caring, personable and loves the dogs. I feel happy and confident when they are at her home!”
“Patricia did so well with my Ace. She updated me throughout the evening. When I picked him up he was so tired out from all the playing 😊 I will be booking again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“Ted did a great job watching Cooper today! It looked like Cooper was enjoying his new friend with Ted's dog Maizy too from the pictures that Ted shared with us while we were gone for the day. Cooper was very relaxed and appeared to have a great day. Thank you so much!”

I own a pet service company called pawsitively Lexi, and an animal lover! I offer customized care for each animal I watch to ensure that you & your pet/pets are comfortable and happy. Since I was 13 I have been taking care of my families/ friends pets & used to dog walk for the people in my neighborhood before moving. I have my own cats named mace and lili who are both indoor. mace is a nebelung who I rescued from a barn at 6 months and lili is a mixed breed who was given to me at 3 months. I live in a condo complex with a nice sidewalk as well as a park nearby to play at! Not only am I a respectful and trustworthy person, but can assure you that your furry friend is in great hands when they are with me. 💕 I am a mother, have a degree in holistic medicine, student, and own my own pet service company! I have a pretty open schedule until I start school again and am available all throughout the day 7 days a week:) My cats mace and lili are both indoor cats. They have plenty of space to roam including a screened patio to bird watch on as well as a massive cat tower with plenty of toys to keep them entertained. I feed them both wet food twice a day and they free feed on dry.
About: Hello! I am a licensed veterinary technician and have been for 20 years with a primary focus in surgery and dentistry and management. I love animals and have worked my entire adult life with them in some capacity. I have a 15 year old female spayed Chihuahua, 10 year old male neutered Portuguese Water Dog, and 2 cats, all indoor. I do not have the time or room to have more animals of my own which is why I would love care for your fur babies as my own when you are unable. This will allow me to enjoy more animals, of all breeds/sizes, but on a part-time basis...which is more accommodating to my lifestyle. Because of my veterinary experience and knowledge basis; you will not only be getting an amazing pet sitter, but one who can recognize a problem and address it appropriately if needed. I have the ability to bring your fur baby to a near by vet clinic if needed. I am currently working from home, so I have the ability to provide 24/7 care to your fur baby. I'm currently working remote, so I am available to provide pet care 24/7. I would rather late morning visits, drop offs....but can accommodate early morning with notice. I have a yard with an invisible fence and extra collars for dogs that use them. Otherwise I have a tie out in my yard for potty breaks. I have a litter robot for our cat friends. However, I keep pets inside most of the time for safety and comfort.
“Great environment for pups to feel safe, loved, and playful. You can immediately tell how much love and patience Kellie and Paige have for animals. The fenced-in yard is a definite plus! I had such a crazy/stressful day at work, and seeing how happy my pup was (Kellie sent pictures) made my heart full. So so happy we found this sitter!!”
“Erin is absolutely great. I felt completely comfortable leaving my puppy with her while I was away at work. She sent me adorable updates and told me how she was doing. I am happy to have found a sitter for the future and will definitely continue to use her services!”
“Magnolia was wiped out in the back seat before we got 10 minutes down the road! Exactly what she needs while mom and dad are at work. Brianna also sent pics and videos throughout the day, which was nice.”
About: Hi, I’m Sarah! 🐾 Animals have always been a big part of my life. My husband and I have rescued and fostered dogs for years, and we’ve had the joy of caring for many different personalities, sizes, and needs. Our dogs have both passed away within the past year and our house is definitely missing the pitter patter of doggy feet. I’m a stay at home mom, so your pup will have company and attention throughout the day. The longest they’d ever be alone is 1–2 hours if I run out for groceries or errands. I have two little ones at home, so I’m selective about which dogs I host, choosing only those who are good with both kids. I like to know each dog’s routine so I can keep things consistent for them- feeding times, quirks, favorite toys, or anything else that helps me care for them just like you would. If you’re looking for a home where your pup will be treated like family, I’d love to help. 💙 As a stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day and love having the extra company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and playtime built into my daily routine. Our home is safe, welcoming, and dog-friendly. I’m selective about the dogs I host, ensuring they are good with children. I always prioritize safety and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure. I ONLY host one family at a time, that means your dog will be the only one in my home at a given time.
About: Hi pet parents, I would be happy to care for your dog while you are away. Since I moved to an apartment, it's been a while since being on Rover. For many years, I enjoyed having different dogs and their many personalities in my home. My home became there "home away from home" for my regulars. Pet parents became very comfortable, and trusted me, knowing I was a second mom to their babies. I am a mom to a very sweet springer spaniel. Her name is DeeDee. She is nine years old, shy and very mild mannered. The two of us are settled here, no one else in our place, and would enjoy having a dog companion occasionally. As DeeDee would tell you, I give lots of lovies, hugs and kisses. With all of my attention, your pup would feel safe and secure. Hesitant parents of senior or special needs' dogs can feel comfortable knowing I am experienced with their extra care needs. My knowledge and experience come from living and caring for dogs all of my life, as well as being a long time member of the English Springer Spaniel Club of Michigan. My springer friends are a wealth of knowledge from their decades of experience raising pups. I have learned obedience, socialization, grooming, show conformation, and health care, as well as true-to-life tips from these pros. I am home most of the time, and will limit my time away if I have your dog. I always prefer a meet and greet before your scheduled visit. At that time I will get to know your dog, ask you about their likes and needs, and determine if they are a good fit. I would be happy to give you references. The care and safety of your 'baby', is my priority. Thank you for your consideration. Margaret First thing in the morning is a walk, usually a couple blocks. Then breakfast. Then, usually, is a nap. Short breaks outside a time or two during the day. Walk again between 5-6. Dinner. Out again before bed, 11-1. This is DeeDee's schedule. Changes to accommodate your dog are easily added. Watch them carefully for signs of anxiety. Talk and touch them to assure them they are ok, and I am their friend. Make them comfortable with something that reminds them of home. Sit, talk, hold and pet to give them comfort and the feeling of safety. My apartment is small so I don't lose track of a curious visitor. Though I live in Pontiac, I'm in a safe complex on the very northeast tip. Auburn Hills is on the other side of Walton. That saying, I am very conscious of what is going on around us.
About: I have always loved all animals! I am definitely a nurturer at heart. I have loads of experience watching pets for friends and family. I have worked with a rescue the past few years and have helped nurse back to health and find homes for multiple cats and dogs of all ages. I’d love to help take care of your pet! I am flexible because I work from home so I am able to navigate around schedules easily. I take care of my own animals daily and have my husband as back up. I give all animals proper care and attention from feeding to cuddles. I provide a safe and trusting environment within and outside my own home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Elba. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Elba commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 326 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MI. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
