“Thank you Derek for taking good care of Charlie! He was worn out. I was super nervous leaving him as being a lab he is a strong and hyper dog but you put me at ease in your ability to handle him. Thanks again!”
“Monique is amazing! Our fur baby looked like she had fun playing with Monique’s pup and spending time with her family! Monique even helped me out by picking up and dropping our pup off at the end of the week.”
“Lauren was an amazing dog sitter! She kept us updated on how he was doing, their activities and interactions with any other dogs she was watching. Felt very confident leaving for the weekend having her watch my dog.”
“Patty was absolutely wonderful with out pup, Penny! She sent plenty of cute pictures so we knew she was well cared for. I think she has as much fun on her vacation as we did!”
About: I come from a family that has always sheltered, rescued, and spoiled all the fur babies that come into our lives. Patience and affection are our gifts. I work from home part time. That leaves my schedule open to caring for others pets in my home or for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard and a large home with plenty of room. If your pupper is unfamiliar with cats I can ensure safe space kept between them. Walks, couch potato time, and kiddos in and out make for plenty of love and activity. My children are old enough to provide respectful space to pets that need it.
“I’ve only lived in this area for three years. It is taken me this long to find a place I feel comfortable leaving my dog. I highly recommend Francis. She updated me throughout the weekend and sent pictures so I would know that my dog was doing OK. What a relief knowing that when I’m out of town I know that my dog is being well taken care of!”
“Jenny is a fantastic sitter. She takes very good care of our senior dachshund, and updates every day! We feel very comfortable leaving our little Charlie with her.”
“Christopher was our first pet sitter and he exceeded all of our expectations. He kept our puppy busy and happy while we were away. We also got updates and photos practically daily which was so encouraging! We couldn’t have had a better experience.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Katherine was amazingly patient when answering all my questions about what we should expect. Unfortunately during the stay, one of our dogs had a difficult time adjusting, but Katherine did everything she could to ease her anxiety and make her comfortable. By the end of the weekend, there was quite a bit of improvement for Jessie. They sent pics of them and the dogs having fun which I thoroughly enjoyed.”
“Ruth took great care of my anxious Toy Aussie! She sent several photos and updates of my pup and made sure she was well taken care of. Ruth responded in a timely manner and the communication was easy. I would let my pup stay with Ruth again!”
“Teri was super helpful getting the critters settled and was quick to respond whenever I messaged her. Leaving my pets with Teri felt like leaving them with trusted family. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cat and rabbit. Teri went above and beyond caring for my beloved pets.”
“Dan and Vickie took such good care of Coco. I believe they are the best sitters I have ever used. Good communication and lots of pictures. I will definitely use them again and would recommend this couple to whoever is looking for a exceptional dog sitter”
“This was Molly's second time at Jenn's house and she loved it again. She got excited when we pulled into the driveway and it put us at ease knowing our girl was so well taken care of.”
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs, and caring for them has been a big part of my life. I have two rescue dogs of my own and have spent several years fostering dogs through Harbor Humane Society. Fostering has given me valuable experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, personalities, and backgrounds, including those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’ve also had the wonderful experience of helping deliver and raise a litter of purebred English Cream Golden Retriever puppies, giving me hands-on experience with newborn puppies and their early care and development. One of my own dogs is leash and barrier reactive, and I’ve worked extensively with her to better understand and manage her behavior. That experience has taught me the importance of reading a dog’s body language, recognizing triggers, and approaching each dog with patience and compassion. I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a shy rescue, a senior who enjoys a slower pace, or somewhere in between, I’ll care for them with the same attention and affection I give my own. I’m an accountant who works remotely from home. My flexible schedule allows me to fit in pet during the day, in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard with vinyl privacy fencing. My 2 dogs are used to dog visitors of all kinds. They can also be crated separately.
“My girls love hanging with Jayme and her family. They get lots of love, cuddles and attention. Jayme was attentive in noticing Gizmo had an itchy ear and administered some ear meds as needed. Luna and Gizmo were happy and so am I!”
“Amber is an amazing dog sitter! She made sure our pooch was well taken care of, and was gentle in introducing him to her own dogs. Our dog even got to play in a dog bath. Great experience!”
“Jacy is AMAZING! She made our sweet boy so happy. Spoiled him with constant play time and love. She communicated regularly with so many pictures. 10/10 recommend! We are so grateful for such excellent care!”

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.
97% of sitters in Ferrysburg 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 Ferrysburg 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 Ferrysburg.
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 Ferrysburg. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Ferrysburg 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.
