“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“Lily, our 1 yr old golden stayed overnight with Kasey he dog Gracie and 3 cats. She had a great time as Kasey was welcoming and provided excellent care for her. Kasey also has a large fenced yard so lily had a lot of apace to explore. I’m super comfortable with Kasey and plan to have lily stay with her for several days while on vacation.”
“Keisha and Widget (cat, drop-in visits) loved having Victoria and Rishi spoil them for the weekend. With a senior dog it is hard to find a good place that can accommodate a less active dog and give them a space away from the more active dogs when they are done playing. Keisha was exhausted after having such a fun and active weekend. I also had to make late notice changes to my travel plans and return home much later than originally schedule. Victoria and Rishi had no problems keeping Keisha an extra day. It was so nice to know they were both being taken care of and spoiled as if I had never left so I could really enjoy my vacation. I will definitely re-book in the future .”
“Lauren and her sister, Geneva, were so amazing when caring for our 2 adult cats! They were loving, great with providing pictures, offered solid, clear communication, and were so incredibly flexible when we needed to make changes to our reservation! We can tell our girls had a great time and were so loved while we were away!”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“KellyAnna was awesome to work with. Quick to respond initially. She was gracious enough to let us come over and get acquainted. My first visit I wasn't able to bring my dog with me. I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!”
“As a local rover sitter myself, so I’m setting the bar high, I was very pleased with Thalia. My 6lb baby lost his brother of 15 yrs a week before my unavoidable trip. I was beyond devastated, full of greif and unbelievable guilt at the thought of having to leave my little guy now, especially with the level of depression porky was in. Thalia took Porky all around with her the little dog bag I have so he wasn’t alone. She gave him the attention and love he needed to finally start eating again. After being gone 4 days I was so relieved to see Porky’s personality coming back and he’s eating normally again now that we’re home. I know this would not have ever been possible if he hadn’t been receiving the love, attenti & affection the entire trip I was gone. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Thalia for giving me the peace of mind to travel again and know Porky will be in good hands❤️”
“Rylee was taken care of and so happy when I picked her up. I didn't have to worry at all on my trip. I appreciate that even though it was last minute ask, it didn't matter. Im so grateful to Reana for taking good care of Rylee.”
“Christine was amazing with our 11 yr. old pitbull. She gave him lots of love, attention and extra care when he was anxious. Christine treated him as one of her own. She sent pics and updates every day. Responded In a timely manner and even helped us feel less anxious while being away. She follows directions and uses good discernment. Highly recommend Christine and will definitely have her watch our pup if needed.”

About: Hello ☺, I have been on with Rover since 2015 and I enjoy Petcare. My schedule is completely opened to all availability unless my calendar is booked for specific dates. I am available any hours of days or nights. I love animals and helping people out with a simple helping hand is always nice. I have genuine love for animals of all kinds and caring for them. I am free of allergies from animal hair/dander. I have experience in dog & cat walks and pet sitting. I will do dog boarding, but it will have to be at the owner's home since I do not have the space at my home. Hope I can help with caring for your fur babies. I'm currently able to tend to pet care on rover fulltime since this is all the work I am able to do so I am available all the time. I can only watch pets in clients home due to limited space at my place. I also have animals of my own. I can do anything that is needed by the pet owner.
About: I took break a year ago but now I am back and available for your pet needs for 2026! I have grown up working in and out of all kinds of pet rescue agencies along with vet offices. I have owned all types of animals my whole life and it’s something I’ve always been extremely passionate about! I also don’t mind snuggling your animals too ♥️ I currently work from home and have all the time in the world to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I specialize in all kinds of animals! I own three indoor cats but have also had a lot of training on how to handle dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I work from home and happen to have alot of free time and a open schedule I answer calls and texts very quickly so you can depend on me to have last minute scheduling needs or wants. I treat every pet like my own. I've taken care of many different animals all shapes and sizes. I take lots of notes on what they want or need and always ask questions if I ever have any.
“Erica was awesome! She took wonderful care of our little old man, sent lots of pictures, and was very flexible and accommodating. Erica was a wonderful communicator before, during, and after our stay and we will definitely have her watch our pug again soon!”
“We had a last minute hospital visit and needed some care for our puppy again. And once again, my pup had another great time -- she came back happy and relaxed after a fun couple days at the puppy spa! Thanks so much! :)”
“Anthony did a great job of keeping me updated on how Leia was doing, with plenty of pictures and videos. I could tell that he was spending quite a bit of time with her, and truly enjoying having her there. This gave me comfort in knowing that she was being cared for and having quality interaction with her caretaker. Thanks Tony!”
“My dogs absolutely love Breita and her family! We always say they are going to “Disneyland” when we have to board them! They never leave without extra treats or toys and they are always so happy!”

We highly recommend Jennifer! Our dog doesn’t usually like being away from home, but he loves staying with her. Even though it had been over a year since his last visit, he knew exactly where he was as soon as we pulled in—he ran right up to her door, eager to go inside! He looks so happy in the pictures she shares and always comes home happy, too. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s comfortable, happy, and so well cared for while we’re away. We’re so grateful to Jennifer!
Val was amazing! I would have been happy to know the boys weren't crying or chewing electrical cords. Val planned activities! They got to play with her beautiful Pearle and go for a walk in the woods, and get their breakfast served in amazing enrichment toys. I'm going to have to work hard to live up to this! And I got tons of precious pictures that I will treasure.Would do it again at the drop of a hat!
My dog Chase loves spending time with Chris and his dogs. He gets very excited when I drop him off and he isn't always like that with sitters. Chris is great with Chase and I always appreciate his flexibility. This time Chase needed some medication given to him twice daily and Chris was wonderful to take care of that while I had to be away. I highly recommend him for pet sitting!
They were an amazing dog sitter! They were incredibly understanding and accommodating throughout the entire process, which made everything so much less stressful. It was clear they genuinely cared and made sure my dog was well taken care of. Communication was great, and they were flexible when needed. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and would definitely trust them again in the future. Highly recommend!
Lauren did a great job watching our fur baby. She communicated well and sent photos and videos. I could tell from the videos that our dog felt comfortable in her home. She also took our dog on walks and played fetch with her. It was a great visit, and I would have Pattie Cake stay with Lauren again.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Lansing 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 Lansing 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 Lansing.
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 Lansing. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 Lansing 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.
