“Andrea and her family are great! My Dog was very well cared and would definitely use her again. They loved on him, brushed him, he had a great time! Highly recommend her and will be using Andrea in the future.”
“Mayrannie took care of my 9 month old pup for 3 weeks, while I had to travel. She was wonderful in doing multiple meet-and-greets to slowly introduce him to her environment. She took great care of my pup, sending me pictures almost every day. I highly recommend Mayrannie.”
“Will definitely book again with Laura! Felt safe leaving both my dogs with her and got updates everyday sometimes twice, overall I can tell they where happy staying with her!”
“Erin was wonderful to my girls! They had a blast and came home tired and happy. She sent lots of pictures and played with and walked them often. It was easy to have a good vacation knowing they were so well taken care of. Definitely will go to her again!”
About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
“My dog has Boarded with Thea and her family several times now. Sometimes it is a short visit but this time it was two weeks! Bailey is always well taken care of, relaxed and loves playing with Thea’s dogs. I highly recommend having Thea take care of your dog.”
“Finn had such a good time with April and her pack! He loved having other dogs to play with! He came home one tired pup! April sent videos and pictures throughout Finn’s stay and let us know how he was doing each day! I would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Rileigh was helpful, attentive, and sent lots of photos! Very accommodating of leeroy's many quirks and made scheduling/coordinating a breeze. Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Sarah was a great host for our dogs while we went away for 2 weeks. She helped coronate an initial meet and greet to make sure the dogs got along and we were comfortable leaving them. She was also incredibly responsive to all texts leading up to our stay and during, as well as keeping us updated with pictures the entire time. She let our boys make themselves at home, which we really appreciated. 10/10 stay, would use her and family as a host again! Thanks so much!”
“Katie was incredible. She showed Rue an immense amount of love, provided lots of updates, and has an excellent environment to allow Rue to relax and enjoy her time away. I couldn't recommend her more!! She's the best.”
“Denise was wonderful with Abby. Abby was having some problems and Denise knew just how to take care of her. I was nervous about leaving Abby but Denise also has 2 older Cavaliers and knows the issues they have. I would recommend Denise to anyone, especially with an older dog. If we travel and need a pet sitter, I will definitely be calling Denise.”
About: I'm a retired USN Veteran dog Dad who would love to be a companion to your dog as well. I've shared my life with dogs I love for over 60 years, and all my best friends are dog people. I've raised and trained many sporting dogs from puppies to old age, and called all of them family. My best friend is a 7 year old female Chesapeake who lost her companion a year ago and would welcome some company. I can't imagine a life without a dog in my home, and I would look forward to sharing my home with yours as well. I'm retired, widowed, and have 24/7 availability to devote to your dog(s). My only other commitment is a Door Dash side hustle, which allows me to tailor that schedule around dog care. My girl Quinn is super sweet and friendly with any other dog she's met. I have a large fenced yard to play in, and live 3 blocks from a county park with trails through the woods, perfect for a long nature walk.
“Cannoli loved staying with Margaret again! Margaret kept us updated and sent lots of pictures. She took Cannoli for lots of walks and made sure she was comfortable and felt at home. We didn’t have to worry for one second because we knew she was getting the best care with Margaret.”
“LaTasha is very pleasant and was a joy to leave my pet with. She shared updates regularly, as requested and I look forward to Pepper staying with her again someday.”
About: Hi there, I'm Gabriel! I was born and raised in Michigan, and Pontiac is home. I went to OCC and I'm now working toward a career as an MRI technologist, so caring for others is something I truly love, whether that's people or their pets. I've been caring for dogs for 4 years and I'm background checked. I'm proud of my 5.0 rating from 29 reviews and 36 completed services, along with 5 star reviews on other pet care platforms. Some of the kind things owners have said: "showed every step of the way, very caring, my dog seemed to have a great time" and "great walker." I grew up loving dogs and have had two of my own, a German Shepherd named Soldier and now my sweet Shih Tzu, Choco, so I'm comfortable with big dogs, small dogs, puppies and seniors. I've cared for dogs on walks, drop ins and overnight stays, and I've given daily medication on a strict schedule. I follow your routine and instructions closely, and you'll get photos and a recap after every visit so you always know how your pup is doing. To me, your dog is family. I'd love to give them the same love, patience and attention I give my own. 🐶 My schedule is flexible, so I'm available for boarding, drop ins and walks most days, including mornings, afternoons and evenings. I'm quick to reply and happy to work around your travel plans, early flights or late returns. If anything changes on my end, you'll hear from me right away so you never have to worry. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I own my home, which has a fenced yard and a trail right behind it that leads to a park, so there is always a safe place to run, sniff and play. I also have a small, friendly Shih Tzu named Choco, and I introduce new pets slowly so everyone feels comfortable. I follow your routine and instructions closely and keep a close eye on every pet. For drop ins and walks, I lock up, check the doors and leave everything just how I found it. You'll always know your pet is safe, loved and in good hands.
“Valentina was amazing with our dog! After having a previous sitter cancel on us, she had no problem taking care of her and treated her perfectly. There were absolutely no issues, and we are very grateful for how well she took care of our dog. We would definitely recommend Valentina to anyone looking for someone to take care of their dog!”
“We had a great experience! Niko was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. He had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. I would definitely recommend!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Lake Orion 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 Lake Orion 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 Lake Orion.
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 Lake Orion. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Lake Orion 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.
