âJessica and her family were amazing! During our time away, Jessica sent regular updates, complete with adorable photos, which brought us such peace of mind.

Scooby slept for 10 straight hours after returning home, he had a lot of fun with the other dogs and kids in the home! Scooby made some new friends and would definitely bring Scooby back!â

âKate has watched Rue a few times now and I canât recommend her highly enough. She really loves Rue and will make sure she is comfortable for her entire stay. Prior to Katie, Rue would stay at kennels and come home disheveled and typically with kennel cough or some other ailment. When she comes home from staying with Katie, she is in perfect condition, happy, and calm. Katie has been a huge help and such a positive in Rueâs life!â

About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I was a devoted owner of my Chihuahua for 13 years, which gave me extensive experience with long-term, attentive care and the needs of an aging dog. I also have experience with neonatal puppies. I helped care for a litter of 8 puppies from birth through adoption, assisting with feeding, handling, cleaning, monitoring their development, and providing consistent care until they went to their forever homes. I continue to help care for young puppies belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with puppy routines, supervision, and the extra patience they require. Additionally, I gained professional experience working at a doggy daycare during college, where I helped care for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Iâm dependable, attentive, and comfortable following each petâs individual routine. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention I would want for my own dog. My Availability đž Iâm unavailable Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 AMâ4 PM, but Iâm available after 4 PM on those days. Iâm fully available Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with flexible availability throughout the day. Have a specific schedule in mind? Send me a booking request or message me with your dates and your petâs routine, and Iâll be happy to see how I can help! đž Every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I like to learn what works best for them before each booking. Iâm happy to provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, medication if needed and within my comfort level, and plenty of attention and companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I can follow your petâs normal routine and make sure theyâre comfortable, safe, and cared for while youâre away. Iâm also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how theyâre doing. For overnight care, I do not stay overnight in clientsâ homes. Iâm happy to discuss extended drop-in visits or multiple visits throughout the day and evening instead. For boarding or overnight stays in my home, arrangements need to be discussed and approved in advance since I live with my family. Iâll make sure the setup is a good fit for both your pet and my household before confirming the booking. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, Iâve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levelsâincluding high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environmentânothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: ⢠Supervised indoor & outdoor time ⢠Daily walks and structured play ⢠A cozy, home-style environment ⢠Optional fresh, homemade meals ⢠Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dogânot a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. Iâm available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dogâs normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
About: Hey, Iâm Jeremy! An animal lover, outdoor enthusiast, and long-time pet caregiver. Iâve been walking dogs since I was 12 and have experience with both cats and dogs since before I can remember. I currently have a cat who Iâve cared for over the past three years, and before moving out on my own, I helped take care of our familyâs pets, including three wonderful dogs over the years. I was involved in all parts of their care: daily walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, the less glamorous tasks like picking up after them. I'm patient, dependable, and always aim to make animals feel safe and loved. When Iâm not spending time with animals, I work full-time in administration and graphic design at a funeral home. Iâm also an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the Cadet Program. I work with youth aged 12 to 18 at the Sarnia Army Cadets, helping them build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and outdoor survival skills in a structured, military environment. I offer dog walking, play dates, house and pet sitting, and pet sitting in my own home. I love getting to know each petâs unique personality and making sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for. Iâm also a photographer â so donât be surprised if you get a few great shots of your furry friend during our time together! Whether itâs keeping your dog active or making sure your cat feels at home, I treat every pet like family. I can't wait to meet my new fur friend! I work full-time on a 3-week rotating schedule, but I always know my availability in advance. My weekends rotate like this: one weekend I work, the next is a long weekend (Friday to Monday off), and the third is a regular SaturdayâSunday off. I usually have one weekday off as well, which I can use for walks or pet visits. Most days, Iâm also able to pop by during my lunch breakâusually between 1:30 and 2:30âfor a quick walk, play session, or check-in. Your petâs safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and plenty of space inside for pets to relax. I do have a cat, but she keeps to herself and tends to avoid other animals, so thereâs very little interaction unless your pet is especially curious. I keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and free of any hazards. Whether Iâm caring for your pet in my home or visiting yours, I always follow feeding routines, leash rules, and any specific instructions you leave. Youâll also get regular updates so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Have a history of dog breeding and care, love all pets. We currently have 2 small dogs, our cat passed way last year sadly, but we love both.

In your home I am available to help them feel comfortable and safe when you are away.

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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
99% of sitters in Goodells can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Goodells 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 Goodells.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

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 Goodells sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
