About: I have been training, showing, and caring for dogs for over 30 years. I have extensive experience in dog training and behavior modification. We have a small cozy kennel with doggie daycare located on our personal property Dog watching, training, and showing is my full time job. I have extensive experience with introducing dogs into packs for safe fun play. I work with owners teaching them how to train their dogs and will help with extra training as available. We have 10 individual kennels for dogs at night and a large indoor doggie daycare play area as well as a 6 ft fully fenced outdoor play area.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of any kind since I was 13. Neighbors, friends, and family relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll be able to take care of any of your pets. I’m available anytime during the week after 3 pm. I just moved into a trailer so your animals will have plenty of room inside and also a private backyard. I have a dog to keep yours company along with two cats. I can also crate your dog if needed.
About: My name is Mackenzie P., my fiancé and I are located in Lapeer and both work full time from home, our house offers a fully fenced in backyard. We have always been dog & cat people, we have two dogs (shelties) and a cat of our own. Thank you so much for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon! I do work full time but on a flex schedule - this means I can be available at the time of day you need assistance! I would care for a clients pet as my own - this includes the love and respect I would give my own pet! For example, making sure the dog is comfortable and not stressed on a walk.
“Silver is just FABULOUS!!!! Our anxious Aussies took to her "pack" in a short period of time and were playing and socializing beautifully. Their first time with her went way better then I could've even imagined, so much so, I booked her again for an overnight. Silver is an absolute pro. She understands limits and makes sure to handle doggie introductions slowly and carefully, with confidence and awareness. 5 stars!”
“After my husky's first stay with Jamie, I can say we will definitely use her services again! Bailey loved spending time at her house. The fenced yard was perfect, and Jamie provided lots of love and connectedness. Thank you, Jamie!”
About: I am a stay at home mom with 2 school - aged boys. My kids love dogs almost as much as I do and are very good at helping out with them. I have been a dog owner for 30+ years and our dogs have always been treated like family, including having their own Christmas stockings. We adopted our sweet senior rottie mix, Roary, back in 2023 and our indoor/outdoor kitten, Biscuit, in 2025. I will only care for dogs in my home that get along with children, dogs, and cats so everyone will feel comfortable. If your dog plays well with others, (s)he will be treated as family! I work from home, so I spend the majority of my day at home. Your pet will not be alone for long, if at all. We live on 3 acres and while we don’t have a fenced yard, your pet will spend plenty of time outside (on a leash) and be walked around the yard every few hours. I currently work from home. I will be able to take your pet for multiple walks daily and attend to their needs consistently. Even though I work from home, my time is important. Last minute requests will have a $25 charge added to the booking. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a good amount of property and will walk your pup throughout the day. If they need more exercise, I do have a long lead I can put them on to play fetch or just run around. I do not allow the pups to be outside unsupervised or unleashed at any time.
“Louie had a great first day with Kerry! She is wonderful and her home is beautiful and pet-friendly. She understands Lou’s needs as a puppy and made time for lots of walks and play time to tire him out! She kept in very close communication with us and sent cute pictures of Louie all day. She is incredibly loving towards Louie and made us feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. We trust her implicitly and appreciate how flexible she is with late pickup times. We will continue to use her as needed for daycare! Thank you so much Kerry!!!”
About: Hi there! I have had animals at home my whole 30 years of life! From cats to dogs to rabbits & chickens! I have been professionally watching peoples pets for the last 5 years. I did attend a vet tech program in 2018. I have experience with puppies, all the way to senior care. I am comfortable and experienced at administering meds as well! I am a stay at home mom to a school aged boy. I am home pretty much all day every day. Making my availability extremely flexible. All pets will be at the main floor of our home, we do have a basement. We are not fenced in but are completely surrounded by woods on our 5 acres of land! Most of the dogs I watch will be put on a leash outside unless I am told they won't run away! Also, will crate if that is what they are used to!
“Trish was so good with our puppy! She worked with him throughout the day and took him to the park. It was such a relief knowing he was with someone who truly cares when we couldn't be with him. I also love that I have another option for Khyron on those extra busy days! I would definitely recommend Trish to take care of your fur baby!”
About: Both Matt and I have taken care of animals since we were young for friends &family. We have two frenchies both are two years old ( please keep in mind when they first meet a new dog they get very excited and can have a lot of energy and LOVE to play) We have also had experience with numerous breeds. Your fur baby will have lots of fun and love in our home. Having two frenchies, we know how high maintenance some dogs can be, that’s why it’s important to us to provide the best experience for you and your fur baby. During Monday-Friday I work 8-5. However, Matt does work from home so will be able to give your fur baby all the love and attention!( if Matt does have to step out it’s typically no longer than 2 hours but not often ) If you have any questions regarding our schedule, please feel free to reach out. If for some reason Matt does have to leave for more than a couple hours, we will block that day off as we do not believe in leaving fur babies alone for long periods. We are homebodies on the weekends as well. So someone will always be with your fur baby. We will make sure your fur baby gets plenty of walks and outside time. We live in a nice/quiet neighborhood. When the weather is nice, our frenchies love to sun bathe, play fetch, we also set up their splash pad, so we spend lots of time outside. We do allow dogs on our bed and furniture( if you allow it) we will not crate your dog unless we do have to step out ( which again is not often). During the night, we will not crate unless you prefer them in a crate. Please let us know if there is any special request and we can accommodate. We do ask for a meet n greet to make sure your dogs and our two frenchies get along. Your fur baby’s safety and comfortability will always be our priority as well as our babies. We know how it feels leaving your fur baby and you might get anxious so we will make sure to send a daily update. *Please note we are happy to accommodate large dogs, they MUST get along with little dogs. We do only accept one large dog at a time. Please be sure to look at our pics as we do have a short fence, if your dog is known for jumping we may have to utilize a leash*
About: I am home full time and have 3 Shih Tzus. I have owned horses, goats, donkeys and cats. I enjoy being with animals. I am able to do special needs such as medicine and shots. Have some knowledge of veterinary care. I just moved up here from Tennessee and would like to take care of animals while owners are away. Was born here in Michigan and moved to Arizona for 18 years where we had a ranch. I also worked for a horse ranch where the owner left me in charge of her operation while she traveled. At the same time we had horses and I took full care of them. All animals will be cared for like they are my own. Will be loved very much. I am home full time. I will be with your pets during their stay 24/7. They will have full run of our house just like our dogs We get up about 5 am to get my husband off to work. We go back to bed til about 8 am. We go outside to play for a bit then come in for breakfast. They are able to be out as long as they enjoy. We can play inside if they want to or rest whenever. Have dinner about 6 pm and relax after.
About: My journey in dog care began at a board and train facility, where I had the privilege of working closely with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I've gained invaluable experience in understanding and meeting the unique needs of each dog under my care. Whether it's administering medication, following dietary guidelines, or simply providing plenty of belly rubs, I pride myself on going above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every dog I encounter. I am currently a stay at home mom. I am home most days with my both of my children (4yrs & 1.5 yrs) and our dog. As a dog parent myself, I understand the bond that forms between humans and their furry friends, and I strive to provide the same level of care and devotion to every dog in my care.
“Tristan is great with my dog and always patient when I’m a little late dropping off or picking up. (So being patient with me might be more of a challenge than being patient with my puppy). I highly recommend him for daycare or overnight. While I already had an obedience trainer before bringing my dog for daycare, I can tell that he’d be a really good trainer, too.”
About: i’ve had dogs, cats, goats, and chickens my entire life. i’ve always been around animals for as long as i can remember, and always held a passion for them. i have a completely open schedule, including evenings early mornings weekends and holidays. I have reliable transportation, and can even pick up and drop off your babies to their vet appointments or other appointments if you have work! i have two medium sized dogs. i walk them several times a day for about 30 minutes to an hour each walk. i also like to take them hiking, swimming, and to the dog park. sometimes we go into the pet store just to see some new faces and smells all the smells!
“My puppy was well taken care of with Greta. She updated with me a few photos and a video. He was very content and relaxed when I picked him up. I will for sure be booking again in the future! Thanks again for being so good to him!”
“Glad I was able to use Rover during our travel. Diane was attentive to Bob making certain he ate and drank while he was in her care. Home was clean and well cared for. This is about the 4th time I have scheduled a sitter when I have had to travel to an event a distance from home. Will recommend Diane to family who live in her area and to other travelers”
“I’m so glad I found Beth! Her house is perfectly suited for hosting dog guests. Her large back yard is securely fenced and her own two dogs are friendly and playful. She is extremely conscientious and I felt very comfortable entrusting my little Chihuahua to her.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lapeer
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 346 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lapeer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Lapeer 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 346 sitters in Lapeer, 86% 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.
