“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Maria and her family. We received countless pictures and messages throughout our 10 day trip that illustrated how happy and loved our dogs were. Maria even gave them baths just before we returned! We highly recommend Maria and will use her again.”

“This was my first time using a boarding service, and I’m happy that I found Ralph to take care of Maggie while I was out of town for a month. He was very responsive, and his quick replies helped me check in on her. I was informed that there were a couple of diarrheal episodes. It would have been more helpful for me to relay these episodes to the vet if they had been described in more detail with text and photos. I also came home early and greatly appreciated his flexibility in allowing me to pick Maggie up a day early. Lastly, I wish Rover supported video so that I could see Maggie during her stay. Overall, I’m grateful for the care Ralph provided.”

About: Hi, I’m Kassidy! I’m a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom of two with a love for animals! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’ve had my own small dog for nearly 11 years, so I understand the love, attention and responsibility that come with caring for a pet. I also have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs while they’re out of town, including providing daily care, administering medications and making sure their pets feel comfortable and loved. I’ve always loved having dogs in my life, and getting to know their different personalities is one of my favorite parts of caring for them! My goal is to provide a loving, comfortable environment where your dog feels like part of our family! Your dog will spend their days alongside us, enjoying plenty of companionship, attention, playtime and relaxation. Whether your pup loves going for walks, playing or simply curling up on the couch, I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. As a homeschooling mom, I spend much of my time at home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar as possible so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. My two children will be present during your dog’s stay. They’ve grown up around dogs their entire lives and have been taught how to interact with animals gently and respectfully. They will be supervised at all times and not left alone with your pet. Our home is equipped with a fenced in yard and safety gates that allow me to separate spaces when needed for everyone’s comfort and safety. Otherwise, your dog will be right alongside us, enjoying our everyday family activities! I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine and needs. I’m happy to discuss any medications, special accommodations or preferences beforehand to make sure your pup feels comfortable. I’m also happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure your dog is a great fit for our family and home! I’ll provide photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is being loved and cared for!

About: I've had dogs in my house since I was born & have taken care of my own dog(s) for 20 years. I've done end of life care with all of my pets & have done basic training of puppies. I have 8 acres of property which is great for dogs to run and play! I'm currently a stay at home mom of 3 kids, but this year my youngest started school so I am now home every day alone & would love to have a doggie to keep me company. I have an 8 acre yard with a lot of room for dogs to run. I also have a pond that they could swim in if allowed. I currently don't have a dog, but have a caged in area in the yard as well that was used for our old Great Dane that I could use for outside time if your dog tends to wander.

About: I have experience with animals in all settings. I have helped distract puppies when they receive their first shots and I have helped dogs who get laser therapy. I have helped care for the pets family and friend throughout my entire life. I have always enjoyed helping people but helping pets is so special. I work part time 0.5 mile away from home. I usually work from 12pm- 8pm. Or later in the evening usually between 5pm - 2 am. When I am not home my boyfriend is home most of the day. I live in a safe and quiet apartment, without a fenced in yard. I have an American bulldog mix. I enjoy going for walks and bringing out the best in my favorite fuzzy critters.

About: I'm 26, work from home, and have a very flexible schedule, so your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I live alone and genuinely love having animals around. Whether your pet loves long walks at the park, playtime, or just relaxing at home, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs an active day or just someone to keep them company, I'm able to be there for them. I always treat my clients' homes with the same respect I would want for my own. I have experience cleaning homes and caring for the elderly, so I'm comfortable following routines, respecting personal space, and cleaning up any pet messes along the way. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away.

“They did an amazing job. Our boy, Haku, always has a great time there and comes home tired from playing with their other two dogs. Haku is an American Akita and they are able to handle a 120+ pound dog, which isn't easy. Couldn't recommend more.”

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.

96% of sitters in Mount Forest 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 Mount Forest 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 Mount Forest.

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 Mount Forest. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 Mount Forest 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.
