“Nicole and her family were wonderful!! They took great care of my Pointer Stella and she had a good experience. They sent me pictures of Stella with Nicole’s family and her friendly pets. I would most definitely recommend her to any of my friends or whoever reads this! I will definitely be bringing Stella back for more visits!”
“Katie was amazing!! Our dog Lincoln had an amazing time. Kate send us pictures throughout his stay and sent good reports! You could definitely tell he was having fun!! We will definitely be using Katie for our future trips!”
“We had an excellent experience with Brooklyn taking care of our dogs! Brooklyn is trustworthy, professional and truly loves animals. Knowing they were so well cared for helped us relax on our trip. We will definitely use Brooklyn again and highly recommend her.”
“Christine was awesome with our pup! It was a super last minute trip but she made it work! Otis was well taken care of and I loved the amount of updates she would send. Really put our minds at ease!! Five stars!!!”
“Robin was so responsive and kind. She took care of our dog for 3 days while we were on a trip and it was so much better than the kennel. He was clearly happy and comfortable and had plenty of time outside and with people, his two favorite things. Robin was totally comfortable with him right when he arrived, kept us posted with updates, and gave him his meds. 10/10!!”
“Madeline was so well taken care of! Heather and her family definitely gave my pup a run for her money and all the love she love to give was received as well, she was waiting for me, freshly bathed and happy will definitely be a repeat customers!”
“Dixie seemed to feel right at home from the very beginning. I also liked the pictures after a few days of being there. She was happy and that made us happy! Will definitely use Jessica next time! Thank you so much!!”
“Belle was well cared for by Krista and enjoyed her stay, especially playing with K's 2 dogs in a large fenced yard. When my wife took ill during our trip and we were stuck in anther town, Krista was able and willing to keep Belle an extra day-and a-half in spite of an already busy schedule and houseguests. Her communications were always prompt and concise. She literally saved our day.”
“Kathy was a fantastic caregiver for our 10 month old pup, Sunny! We received regular updates and pictures of their fun activities. I can tell Sunny came home super happy, and also tired from all the fun! We will definitely use Kathy again in the future.”
“Finding the right person to care for my dog Shelby was a time-consuming process, particularly because she is 13 years old, requires separation from other dogs, and her sight and hearing are declining. Despite Brece residing an hour away from my home, he graciously offered to have a trial sleepover to see how Shelby would do at his home prior to my 12-day trip. The trial went well and Shelby had no difficulties staying with Brece during the trial. Although I informed Brece that Shelby typically skips a couple meals when I am away, he took the initiative to buy a nutritious broth to mix with her food, ensuring she would eat while I was gone. I am now giving the same broth to Shelby; thank you, Brece! Brece took her for walks a couple times each day, and I received updates along with adorable photos, and it was clear that Shelby was happy, safe, and loved. Once I returned home, Shelby was relaxed and wagging her tail. I would certainly choose to book with Brece again, and I highly recommend that you do the same. Again, thank you Brece for taking good care of my little girl.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them! I’ve pet sat for many families, including stays up to two weeks. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with medications, special needs, and disabilities, always treating every pup like my own. Currently a college student with a mix of online and in-person classes, giving me a consistent and flexible schedule for pet care. I’m consistently available throughout the day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional availability depending on my class schedule. I live in a condo with access to a community dog park and plenty of outdoor space. I have a friendly 3-year-old Bernadoodle named Milo, and I also have a large crate available if needed.

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.
92% of sitters in Manitou Beach 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 Manitou Beach 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 Manitou Beach.
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 Manitou Beach. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Manitou Beach 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.
