“Our two beagles had a great stay with Rex and family. We loved getting photo updates and could tell they felt right at home. They came home happy and tired out from all the playtime.”
“Deb was great with our dogs, as always. She was available with short notice and took great care of them. Our little Puffy was recovering from a knee surgery, and Debbie was amazing caring for her. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Kaila was able to take Prince on very short notice. She sent us updates and pics throughout his stay. She has her own dogs and had a few others when we dropped him off and they were all very calm and well mannered. Prince seemed very content at Kaila’s. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Our dog Charlie had another great stay with Julie! She always takes such good care of him. He is a busy dog, but he comes home from his stays with her tired and happy.”
“She was wonderful!!!!! She truly treats the dogs as if they were her own, she has a heart of gold!!!! We were gone 2 nights, and she was 100% communicative always willing answer any questions about how they’re doing. She truly is the best of the best!!!! You won’t regret leaving your dog/dogs with her!!!!!”
“Katie and Justin were fabulous! Samson is an old dude and they made him feel so comfortable. They let him sleep in their room. They even picked him up as I was in a bind! I would highly suggest using Katie!”
“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!”
“We were so at ease leaving our fur baby with JoAnn and her husband. They were very welcoming and made sure to update us with photos and texts about how our dog was doing. We highly recommend them.”
“Danielle was amazing with my senior[16] blind husky. All of her huskies are well trained and played very well with my dog. Danielle is very knowledgeable and I trust her to watch my senior husky with no worry. My dog tends to shut down around other people and completely ignore other dogs. When I picked her up she was very happy and playful with the other huskies after a couple days with them”
“I wasn't sure how Pivo would handle being with other dogs, but was having a hard time finding a sitter who didn't have dogs who would be available for the dates I needed. I approached Trina even though she has her own dogs. She encouraged us to do a meet-and-greet in her home, and the dogs got along great right from the get-go! Trina and her family clearly love dogs, and made Pivo a member of the household. Trina learned the hard way what a bed hog Pivo is LOL! He came home totally relaxed and happy. Trina's a keeper, very easygoing, accommodating, and kind! Thank you, Trina!”
“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!”
“As always, Tasha takes such great care of our doggy, Daisy! We receive lots of pictures and videos throughout her stay and she keeps us up-to-date on how Daisy is doing with the other friends there. We appreciate Tasha so much!”
“Reed and Natalie watched our dog, Maggie, and they were amazing! Sent us daily updates with pictures and videos and Maggie always looked so happy! We ran into travel issues returning home and they were very flexible with timing of picking her up and were even willing to watch her another night if needed. Highly recommend them!”
“Loved Monica’s service, my dog had a good time and she was updating me on everything and sending me pictures while I’m away. Will book her again and again I felt comfortable leaving my dog with here for days.”
“Sarah and her family was amazing, upon arriving Oakley and I received a very well welcoming from her and her children. I dropped our dog off before our wedding, and received updates a few times through out the the days he was there. Sarah is on our list of pup sitters in the future!”
“Sarah is a warm and delightful human who clearly loves dogs. We were waiting for the green light from my husband's doctor for a fishing trip before we could book Pivo's weekend with her, but of course we needed to find someone beforehand who could take him if it was a go. Sarah was very kind, patient and accommodating, answering all messages quickly, and it all worked out! Pivo and her two little doggies hit it off right away (a relief, since a meet-and-greet the day before didn't go well - you just never know with doggies) so we felt great about finally being able to book with her. He was calm and tired when we picked him up, a good indicator that he had plenty of exercise. We don't travel a lot but will definitely call Sarah next time we do. Thank you, Sarah!”
“I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care Robert provided to Max during two-week stay. I am a returned customer and know that my furry friend was in good hands. Your professionalism and commitment to providing top-notch care are greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for everything you did to make my dog's time away from home a positive experience”
About: I’m a caring and dependable pet owner with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work 8-5pm M-F at y full time job, but I am available before and after those times as well as on the weekends. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean and safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular walks or playtime. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will provide updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.
“Kristen was amazing from the very beginning. Our usual sitter could not take Charlie for a few days. I contacted Kristen. She was very responsive and arranged so that she could meet Charlie before. During the actual stay we received updates and pictures daily, and when we picked up Charlie he was happy and calm as if were just gone for a few hours.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Lakeview 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 Lakeview.
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.
You and your Lakeview 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.
