“Dan took great care of Maggie, he kept me updated during the day with activities and pictures. Maggie got back home exhausted from a full day of games and activities with Dan’s pack, we loved it! Dan is also very flexible and accommodating, I had to reschedule several times and he was very understanding.”
About: After spending 15 wonderful years taking care of my beagle Bailey, I know how important it is to find someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do. I’m currently earning my Master’s degree online in Mental Health Counseling while completing clinical work, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m able to dedicate quality time to walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding routines, and companionship. I’m reliable, organized, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in an apartment community with a dedicated dog park just a short walk from my home, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. I also have access to my mother’s home, which features a large fenced yard and pool area with no resident pets, offering additional space for supervised outdoor play if appropriate. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and preferences to ensure every pet receives personalized care and attention.

Thank you very much Jereme G. !!”
“As always, my dogs loved their stay with AnnMarie! They returned home happy & sleepy after a full day of fun. Thank you, AnnMarie, for loving my dogs like your own :)”

“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!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life for my entire life from big to small!

And free all day on Fridays-Sundays! I’m extremely big on outdoor walks! My dogs and I live in a one bedroom apartment, so several walks a day are mandatory! We love to be outside, chase squirrels, and soak in the sun!

“Great experience. Laura was waiting for Bryce and greeted him immediately. She sent pictures within an hour and I could tell he was behaving as always. Very comforting. And topper I sent a message when we would be there for pickup and she had him watching at the front door. Nice transition. I’m hopeful to use her frequently while I’m in town.”

Elaine is absolutely fantastic! Teddy has a bunch of energy and when he comes home he’s pooped and has played to his hearts content. Outside of that, at times where emergencies have happened. Elaine more than understood and helped me in a bind. Highly recommend, and will continue to go back!

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 Independence Township 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,138 sitters in Independence Township, 84% respond to messages in under an hour.
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
