Dog Boarding Muir

“Emily took excellent care of our dog while we were away. She provided updates and photos of him. He came home clearly happy and was well taken care of by her. Will for sure use her again when we need to. Highly recommend”

“We are a faithful, loyal returning customer/family with Desirae. She’s been our furbaby’s sitter since he was 3 months (he’s a year & a half now) until we relocated to Austin 6 months ago. We took a mini road trip to Houston this weekend and of course booked with none other than Desirae. She really is amazing as all her reviews say! We had to book with sitter’s in Austin twice so far and boy was it hard trying to find someone besides Desirae. If you’re contemplating to book, this is your sign to stop looking. We love you Desirae!”

“MICHELLE IS AMAZING!! She has house sat, done drop ins and has boarded our dog many times. She is so thoughtful and compassionate towards dogs. She has a huge fenced in yard that my dog loves. Michelle sends pictures and a daily review of activities and opinions of how my dog or her dog are viewing the visit. I laugh and look forward to reading the fun and lively updates. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for any dog sitting needs!”

“Kristopher is a great sitter! Our puppy was so excited to go visit after his initial meet and greet! Kristopher is a great communicator and provides pictures. Great location on large property with fencing. We will definitely use his pet sitting services again!”

“Melissa is awesome. She paid very close attention to my dog Tulu and they bonded quickly. Melissa sent pictures every day sometimes twice a day with nice comments. I recommend her highly and I won’t hesitate to book her again.”

“My dogs Love Jackie! It's obvious in the pictures she shares! They always look very relaxed. I appreciate the updates and I never have to worry about them.”

“I couldn’t be more impressed with Sabrina’s care for my dog, Sophie. From the start, Sabrina was attentive, easy to reach, and communicated clearly throughout Sophie’s stay. She went above and beyond, frequently sending photos and videos that let me see just how much fun Sophie was having. It was reassuring and heartwarming to know Sophie was in such good hands. But what really sets Sabrina apart is the special touch she adds. She created these amazing custom magnetic photos that perfectly captured Sophie’s experience and her wonderful personality. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture that I never expected! Sabrina exceeded every expectation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.

“Thalia was AMAZING! She took such great care of our pup. Thalia was easy to communicate with, very thoughtful on the needs of our dog, and even spoiled our sweet pup with a gift and treats. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Believe the dog whisperer bio!! Our bojji boo had a blast and learned a bit of manners along the way! We will definitely be back to board again!!”

“Emily took great care of Mario while we were out of town. She was super comfortable with our very excited dog from the first time they met, and communicated with pictures and texts during his stay. Mario had a great time with them and his new friend, Skeeter! We absolutely won't hesitate to send Mario to Emily for future visits!”

Ruth B.

“I’ve left Teddy with Samantha many times now, she is super helpful and is always willing to watch my pup when I have last minute requests. Teddy is always super happy and played-out after staying with Samantha and Tua and I can’t wait to use her again!”

Brianna M.

“Laura and her husband came through again! On Frieda’s second stay, she hopped right out of the car and moseyed happily up to the door without hesitation, a clear sign she felt comfortable and safe. If she hadn’t, we know she would have stayed put in the car. The photo updates showed the same story: a happy, smiling Frieda. I really appreciate Laura and Mark’s flexibility and their willingness to welcome her back on short notice.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for both dogs and cats since I was 16. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to provide consistent, loving care while they’re away. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means energetic playtime for puppies, patience, or gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their home environment. I’m currently a full time graduate student at Michigan State University. I’m away for classes on Monday’s, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s for 3 hours each day. I’m not employed so I’m able to be home and care for your pet as needed! When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. I provide a calm, clean environment, stick closely to their usual feeding and exercise routines, and give them plenty of attention and affection. Pets get regular potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I adjust care based on their age, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s extra play for energetic pets or a quiet, cozy space for seniors, I treat every pet like part of the family.

“During the stay, Makayla provided regular updates with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was having a wonderful time and was being well taken care of. When I picked up my dog, he was happy, relaxed, and in great spirits. It was evident that he had received plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I highly recommend Makayla to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and dedicated pet sitter.”

Megan S.

“Pictures sent showed both doggies smiling and happy while they were settling and being active. They were both worn out when they got home and were for the first time ever calm greeters at the door. Well worth the cost. Val and Theresa are two very charming people, great attitudes with dogs and I'm glad I chose them to care for mine.”

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.
