“Pamela was flexible with the drop off and pick up times. She sent multiple updates to reassure us that it was going well, and mentioned how our dog was doing with the other dogs and people in the house. She was also diligent in asking about whether our dog had his vaccines in order to keep any dogs she had at the time safe and healthy, which goes both ways. We would have Pamela watch our dog again if needed!”
“Jacob and his family did a great job watching Freya! She was a bit more anxious than usual cause we had been traveling a lot, and they did a great job making sure she was comfortable and taken care of. You can tell that it's a dog loving family, and Jacob is really putting in the effort. Katherine's daily updates were also much appreciated. Highly recommend!”
“Sylvia was so kind to Manny! She gave me plenty of updates throughout the day and very accommodating to both my schedule and Manny’s needs. If you’re in Holland, head her way!”
“Michael and his family provided excellent care for our dogs. We have a dog who is almost 17 years old and he was very attentive to his needs. Our younger dog made great friends with his dog, Chili. She had a great time. Michael provided excellent photos and daily communication. I highly recommend him.”

Daniel sent updates and pictures which I wasn’t expecting but appreciated. Also I loved the fact that blue got lists of exercise to to point he sleep for 12 hours. Highly recommend Daniel.

“I couldn't have been more pleased and happy with the love and care this family has shown my puppy Molly! Its the 1st time we have had to leave her and I was so nervous about it but they really made me feel Totally at ease & kept me well informed the whole time! I could see from the pictures they sent me that Molly was as happy as could be! Will definitely be using Jayme & John again!!! They truly ARE dog loving people- no doubt about that!!!”
“Lauryn is amazing! I had another sitter cancel on me a few days before I was leaving for a month. She is a life saver 2 days before my trip she said she could take in my cat and my dog. She has pets of her own so I believe it was a great fit. She walked him everyday sent loads of updates. Very happy! ❤️”

About: I come from a family that has always sheltered, rescued, and spoiled all the fur babies that come into our lives. Patience and affection are our gifts. I work from home part time. That leaves my schedule open to caring for others pets in my home or for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard and a large home with plenty of room. If your pupper is unfamiliar with cats I can ensure safe space kept between them. Walks, couch potato time, and kiddos in and out make for plenty of love and activity. My children are old enough to provide respectful space to pets that need it.

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 Macatawa 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 Macatawa.
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 Macatawa 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.
