“Brianne was awesome! We will be boarding our 3 dogs with her for 12 days next month so I was worried how they would act since 2 are under 1 year old and one is 10! So we did a practice weekend to calm my nerves and it was great she sent pictures and updates which I really appreciated! When dropping them off our oldest husky who has separation anxiety was crying and whining like crazy but brianne texted me later saying she had calmed down and was relaxing:) After I picked them up they slept all day after being able to run and play all weekend in the fenced yard!”
“Fantastic!! My dog Saber had the best time - Shelby was very communicative and I got pictures every day! It was so great knowing how well she was being cared for! Can’t recommend Shelby enough!”
“Julie and her husband are true dog people that really care about your dog’s comfort and wellbeing. It was wonderful knowing our pup was well cared for. A great experience and will definitely use them again!”
“Amber was great with my red heeler Mac she sent lots of pics everytime u asked about him she allowed me and my mom to be able to take our trip to Missouri without worrying about macs safety I will definitely use her again thanks to her and Ryan so much”
“OMG! They are the best care providers for my two pooches, Reign and Bali. They loved on Reign and Bali like they were their own furry babies. Thank you for keeping them groomed, playing with them, and taking them on walks!”
“Bronco’s first time being watched by a stranger and what an amazing first time experience. Loved the pictures everyday, the love and attention he was shown, the playtime with her very friendly huskies. Amanda is knowledgeable and compassionate of dogs, their unique needs and behaviors. He came home happy, content, and tuckered out from all the exercise.”
“This was our first time using Rover. On very short notice we needed someone to take care our Golden Retriever Blu and found Summer. We loved the meet and greet with Summer and her dogs. Blu had fun staying with Summer and her dogs. Blu was happy when we picked her up. Summer was great with Blu and the frequent updates and photos helped put our minds at ease. Summer will be the first one we contact for future needs and highly recommend her.”
“Mischa had the best time staying with Kathy and her pups! Kathy was super responsive and flexible with our scheduling and even administered our dogs meds like a pro. Mischa also had such an amazing time playing with Eddie and Maddie that she slept for a whole day when she got home :). Thanks Kathy for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”
“Luke and his family went above and beyond caring for our Yogi. They have a large fenced in backyard and a host of other animal friends that Yogi fell in love with. Our Yogi has a tendency to pee on himself vs the ground and they bathed him before pickup. My toddler wouldn’t stop asking us to smell the dog on the way home. Thank you Luke and family! We will use you every time we need to head West to Wisconsin.”
“Janice was so amazing. She updated me on how my pupper girl was doing and Winnie came home happy and obviously very well taken care of. She has been sleeping almost the whole day so I guess she had a fabulous time.”
“Kari did a great job watching our Golden Retriever. She had great communication and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs. I will definitely be a returning customer.”
“Lucy was wonderful with Winnie - her genuine love of animals is very clear! Lucy’s home was perfectly set up to have Winnie overnight and it worked out great! We definitely will be hiring Lucy again!”
About: I've owned dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I currently have two dogs and one is a senior, and my other dog loves playmates. I have lots of experience giving medication, including insulin and if your dog has medical needs I can help. I'm home most of the time. I love to walk dogs and play with them. You can rest assured your dog is in good hands and will have good company while you're away! I work close to full time but work close to home. I'm home in the evenings and most weekends. Reach out to me for availability. My schedule is probably not ideal for dogs who have separation anxiety. My yard is not fenced in and I have a large wooded property. I can keep your dog on leash outside if they don't recall well. We take very regular potty breaks outside with my senior dog. My other dog loves to play but my senior is getting too old for this. My dog would love to have a playmate! Dogs have free reign in our house. Please let me know if they aren't allowed on furniture so I can help reinforce your training.
About: I've had and cared for animals since I was 7 years old. I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, and a variety of livestock. In addition to caring for my personal animals, I've also provided house sitting services, as well as, managed a 10+ horse facility! I work from home, therefore, have plenty of flexibility to tend to your pet! I am available for boarding Thurs-Sun. I am available for daycare Sun, Mon, Thurs, Fri, Sat - I can accommodate an occasional Tues, Wed for daycare. I live on a beautiful farm nestled in Southwest Michigan. Our farm is a perfect setting for pups of all sizes to play, run, relax, and feel right at home!! With years of hands-on experience, and with my work from home flexibility, you can rest assured knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or lounging around the house, I tailor their stay to match their needs!

Dogs do love Stacey calm and firm demeanor and I would trust my little buddy with him any time”
