About: I have been a Equine Veterinarian Technician for just over two years now and previously worked 2 years at a small animal clinic. I love getting to meet, care for, and play with all different types of animals. I spend majority of my time outside. I love hiking and going on walks with our dogs. I have multiple years experience working with all different types of animals from farm to house pets. I currently have two box turtles and two pups Duke, a yellow lab retriever and Rocky, a terrier dachshund. I have plenty of time throughout my day and week to spend with your pets. If something is conflicting my availability I will make sure to be upfront and transparent before accepting the job. My number one goal is to do what’s best for your pet. Working at vet clinics you get to know all the tips and tricks to keeping your pet safe. When out on walks I always have a leash on your pet and never let them off.
“Mari and Darla took amazingly good care of Sprite. They sent me many photos throughout the two days and were exceptional with her. I highly recommend their services.”
“My dog Bruno seemed to enjoy his stay. He loves other dogs and people. Gentry was very welcoming and very much a dog lover. She sent pictures for reassurance, which I really appreciated.”
“Daniel is always so sweet with our animals, we were gone on a longer than normal trip and it made us feel so much better knowing they were in good care while we were gone.”
“We love leaving our dog with Monique and her family! Our boxer has some anxiety but eats and does well while at their house. I love knowing my little guy is well taken care of and loved.”
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.

Feel free to send a message to check availability—I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I follow your dog's exact home routine to keep their day predictable and stress-free. A typical day includes morning potty breaks and breakfast, afternoon leash walks or yard playtime, and relaxing couch time in the evening. Because I only care for one dog at a time, your pet gets 100% of my time, attention, and care throughout the day. My home is a quiet, comfortable, and smoke-free environment.

About: Hello, my name is Lexi. I have cared for dogs (and cats) since I was 12 years old. Dog walking was my first job! I work from home with the flexibility to still care for dogs on the side. I have experience with all breeds and have owned a Rottweiler, lab, and beagle myself. I have experience with puppies as well as senior dogs. I have personal experience with administering medicine to animals (even when they will do anything in their power to not take it). I also have experience with dogs that have high anxiety and submissive peeing (my sweet lab) and am comfortable with handling aggression depending on the situation. I truly love animals and would treat yours like my own! I am currently working remotely and have a lot of flexibility with my job. I am available for stop in visits and dog walking almost any time. I also offer boarding pets in my own home. Whether you would like to drop off your dog on your way to work so they aren’t alone all day, or you’re going out of the town for the weekend and your fur baby needs a place to stay, I’m available!
About: I’ve always grown up with many different kinds of animals from horses to dogs to bunnies. I have always been responsible for taking care of my own and family pets since I can remember. Some facts about me :) I am married and have two pets; a dog and cat. I love to bake, garden and swim. I am also an administrative assistant. I am available after work during the week, weekends and during lunch hours. I can provide meals, walks, potty breaks, play times and cuddles. Please reach out and ask any questions. 😊 My goal is to honor and glorify the Lord in all that I do and say. I believe in honesty, truth and love. I also believe that God has given humans a responsibility to be stewards to His creation, including animals (Genesis 1:26, Proverbs 12:10).
“OUTSTANDING!!!! We were so happy knowing that our dog was so well cared for. Michelle provided daily pictures and videos which made us so very happy knowing he was in good hands. He got more than enough exercise every day and just had a blast being there. We were afraid he wouldn't want to come home. Should we travel again we know where we want him to be and will definitely recommend Michelle to anyone we know who needs dog sitting services. We are just so very pleased and happy!!!!”
“Teri is always so wonderful with our fur babies. We were so happy that we were able to book her again for spring break. It is the biggest peace of mind knowing that our pets are being loved and cared for while we are gone. Teri is the best!”
“Ashley was amazing this weekend with our Greenley girl! We were able to go camping and not worry about bit about her having the best care. Ashely sent pictures, and videos of Greenley happily laying on her couch, enjoying a walk or playing with her dog. She settled in and had a great weekend. We will definitely use Ashley in the future when we go out of town and Greenley cannot go with. We are so thankful to Rover for ease in finding Ashely- she will be our go to sitter!”
“Daina & Samuel treated our pups so kindly! They gave them daily walks and plenty of playtime! My babies came back very happy. I am so thankful for Daina & Sam's love for animals as they are very patient, understanding and loving!”
“Sofia provided day care for my two year old dog prior to my booking a week of boarding for him. She has a large fenced in back yard with shade trees and an 8 year old dog who helped to entertain my dog. He came home content but tired from playing outside. I will be comfortable leaving him for a week with Sofia and family.”

Paige is the BEST! She took magnificent care of our bulldog, Darla who requires a lot of attention and lovies. Paige sent daily reports, funny anecdotes about Darla’s and sweet pics of our pudgy princess. She’s also very attentive and gives expertise in her care. I would highly recommend her and hope to book her again. Thank you so much, Paige!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
99% of sitters in Muskegon 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 Muskegon 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 Muskegon.
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 Muskegon. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 99% 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 Muskegon 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.
