“Amanda was amazing with our two dogs! They stayed overnight and felt right at home. She was very accommodating and communication was excellent. Her fenced backyard was a plus and she treated our dogs as her own.”
“Katie was great! She and her husband took amazing care of Titan for 5 nights and treated him like he was their own. Great communication and regular updates, lots of walks, plenty of love, and they were very flexible with my drop-off and pickup schedule. I felt completely comfortable knowing Titan was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Katie and use her again!”
“Liz was absolutely lovely. She took great care of my very anxious dog and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and kept me updated as to how she was doing all weekend. Would definitely recommend.”

“First time using this service and Jordan made me feel very comfortable about my dogs care he kept me updated and took great care of my dogs if I ever use this again I definitely would want him to watch my dogs again he was amazing”
“I recently needed to find new care for my dog, Louie, and I am so grateful to have come across Savannah. Savannah is incredible at what she does! She takes such good care of Louie, giving him tons of playtime and meaningful companionship (both human and with other pets). She thoughtfully and attentively administered the medication that Louie needs to take twice a day. I received updates, pictures, and videos of Louie’s time with her. I could tell he was having fun and feeling comfortable — when he was dropped off, Louie didn’t want to see her go! It was easy to tell Louie and Savannah had made a meaningful connection. I appreciate all Savannah did to ensure Louie’s good health and happiness. I have never seen him so relaxed after I’ve been away. I happily and highly recommend Savannah to watch after your loved one!”
“I really appreciate Trina's time and disposition to take care of Deborah. Trina was careful and attentive to instructions, I would totally recommend her as a little friend sitter. Her dogs are lovely and I am sure Deborah had a good time with them.”
“Kathy was fantastic with Teddy. She suggested a meet & greet prior to officially booking to make sure it was a good match. For the week that Teddy stayed with Kathy she provided photos, videos and written updates which helped keep us at ease. It is clear that Kathy loves dogs and enjoys having them in her home!”
“Reed and Natalie always do a great job with taking care of my puppy. He comes home happy and tired, and the pictures and videos they send of him having fun and being played with are reassuring and heartwarming. If I could give extra stars, I would.”
“Becky is wonderful and took such great care of my pup, Bailey! She was attentive and responsive and sent many photos while I was gone. I definitely recommend and will use her services again!”

Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. If your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!
About: I have 2 dogs and a cat. I have been a multiple pet household for 20 years. I help my friends and neighbors with their pets when they are away. I have fostered dogs before and I have volunteered at the spca. I know how hard it is to find good pet sitters and would love to help others with this. I work from home so am flexible and able to help out during the day. I currently work from home so have the flexibility to care for your pets during the day and evening. I'm also open to boarding at our home so long as they get along with our other pets. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 1 cat. I can come to your home for walks and/or play time as well.
About: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
“Melissa did a great job taking care of my old lady dog Sikari! She was very patient and gentle with her. I got lots of pictures with updates with how Sikari was eating and sleeping. I always felt confident that Sikari was in good hands.”
“Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!”
“We had JoAnn watch our dog at her house for 6 days and then stay at our house and watch our dog and cat for another 4 days. She did a terrific job. My dog often has anxiety when we are gone and it takes her a few days after our return to relax. This time she was perfectly fine and didn't seem stressed at all. Our house was clean and in perfect shape. I would highly recommend JoAnn and am planning to use her again!”

Amanda was amazing, Hash loved his stay with her. Daily I would receive updates on how hash was enjoying his time with pictures. Also Amanda was super understanding when I was late to pick up due to some unforeseen complications with my trip. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
We’re so happy we found Jenai! Murphy had the best time with her and Sasha and came home happy and completely worn out. 😊 We could tell he was loved and well cared for during his 10-day stay. Jenai was wonderful about communicating and sending us pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’d absolutely trust her with Murphy again!
Jordan was amazing with Justice. Very committed to what he does and very passionate about dogs. My dog has never been around pets she didn’t know so I was nervous at first but he truly took care of my dog and I could tell by how she was with him. I highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone you trust your dog around. Thanks Jordan
Alisa was very kind and loving to our pups. She was very flexible and communicated well regarding our doggies. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking her for future trips. I get nervous leaving them, but she was amazing made me feel at ease. Thank you so much, Alisa!
Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.
We cannot say enough good things. They have taken wonderful care of our two dogs and have been consistently amazing hosts. The dogs get excited when we pull in and seem genuinely happy to be staying with them. We appreciate the regular picture updates, giving us peace of mind. They’ve been flexible and helpful when we’ve had delays or travel disruptions. Overall, we could not recommend them more highly and plan to continue using them as our dog sitters indefinitely.
Brenden was amazing with my Pom. He would take pictures of my dog, he would communicate in a timely manner and with professionals and he would talk him on many walks. It really showed he loves his job. He was very accommodating with me when i told him about my dogs medicine. It really seemed like my dog enjoyed his stay with Brenden. I will rebook with him soon!

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.
96% of sitters in Kalamazoo 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 Kalamazoo home-away-from-home, 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 Kalamazoo.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Kalamazoo 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.

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.

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.
