“Michelle was wonderful! I could tell that Apollo was relaxed and well taken care of. She sent updates and responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her to any other pet parent!”
“Melissa was so awesome!! We picked a very sleepy and happy Korra up from a long day and enjoyed the photos she sent us all day! Would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone and will be using her again! Thank you again Melissa!”
“Darla was so kind. Her yard was very large and my dogs played with her dogs the entire time! She sent video updates and pictures. Best part after my long day is my dogs were so tired they just went straight to sleep on my couch while I unpacked and cleaned up!”
“Kelli was an excellent communicator and took great care of our Charlie boy. I received picture updates of Charlie during his stay, which always helps us feel (and see) that he’s in great hands. This was our first time using Kelli’s services and both my husband and I were beyond impressed with the ease and comfort of Kelli’s friendliness and experience. Kelli’s home environment is absolutely perfect for the care she provides. We’ll definitely be repeat customers moving forward!”
“My puppy was very happy with Arisha. The puppy came back excited and smiling. Arisha was also very helpful in meeting me for the drop off. Thanks Arisha! Wishing you well.”
“This was Hollis’ first time here for day care and we will definitely be back! Love that there’s a fenced in yard for her to play with other dogs. Madison and her family are very sweet and we’re glad we found them in the area”

About: I am very well adapted to dogs of all ages, puppies and senior "puppies". Taking care of them since the age 12. Even all breeds. I run my own business so I have much flexibility for play time, potty breaks walks social time and much cuddling. Even training if needed. If dog sitting in my home the crate is available or they would have free roam of my home, outdoors would be on a leash as I do not have a fenced in yard.
“Friendly and easy to work with, immediately connected with our dog. He was very comfortable with Jeanne and well cared for. We were confident our pet had plenty of exercise and attention and received an update and photo on the day’s activities. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life I got into training adult dogs & puppies as a childhood job & have loved all dogs every since!! I’m currently at home taking a school/work break & thought this would be something settled & laid back & productive to do while I’m back home! Currently I have two bully puppies at home both less than a year & going through training if your furry friend needs help some where I can help so far both of mines are kennel trained, potty trained, and can also sit, stay, down, and wait for their food!!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and I love spending every second with them. I never would’ve guessed I could do it as a job! I take great care of animals and treat them like family. I’m taking online classes right now so my schedule is very flexible and very open to any of ur pets needs at a short notice. I have a fenced in back yard and a furry friend of my own to keep yours company. Im also walking distance from the beach and love to take my dogs for walks.
About: I live in north Muskegon and am home most of the day to spend time with your furry friends when you aren't able. I love them all like my own! I would love to provide your dog with the extra care they are craving, whether you need someone to pop in and check on them for a bit everyday, someone to take them on walks, or somewhere for them to stay overnight while you are away, I am more than happy to help! I have a very flexible schedule and several years experience taking care of dogs. No matter the weather I make sure to get our pup out for some exercise and can get yours out too. I cannot wait for the opportunity to get to know your dog. I am currently working part-time, three days a week so am able to fit in drop offs and pick ups and am around most of the time to hang with and take care of your pets. I have a huge heart for dogs and will love yours like my own while they are in my care. I am trustworthy and capable to handle any situation that may pop up.
About: I’ve been obsessed and very passionate about animals ever since I was very young. I have experience in owning many animals from fish, birds and reptiles to dogs and cats and loved all of them the same. I’m very good at leash training and teaching simple tricks such as sit, shake, lay and roll over! I go for long hikes daily with my dog who is beyond nice and has never had a problem with the 10+ dogs he’s been around in his life, if anything he enjoys any company and is very gentle. I’m open everyday for a few hours maybe more depending on the day and there’s usually a few days out of the week that I’m completely free. I try to respect whatever the owner of the animal would like. Whether that’s not taking their dog for too long of walks, not letting them on furniture, etc.. I try to stick to their natural regimen so that way they act accordingly for their owners. I work from home so pet sitting is something that helps me financially and mentally! I’ve always enjoyed working with animals since I can remember. I treat my client’s dog as if it is my own in every way. Unless any special directions are given, for example not sitting on furniture, no jumping on people, etc…
“Daniel did a truly amazing job. We’re so thankful for his quick replies to our last minute request. He kept us updated and our boy had an amazing time from start to finish and slept hard that night.”
About: My experience comes from my own dogs I've had over my 46 years. I've had a dog my whole life, except for about 2 years after one dog passed before I got my first basset hound in 2010. My most recent dogs were 2 basset hounds. One was a rescue, Elmer, and one I had from 8 weeks old, Mel. They've both since passed of old age. Elmer passed in 2024, he was nearly 13 and Mel this year, he was 15. I miss them terribly, both my boys but my Mel the most, he was my baby. But because my husband and I decided we needed a break from having a pet full-time, I thought providing pet care for others would give me the best of both worlds. Being able to help others take care of their pets without worry, but also for me to get some fur baby love without having a pet full-time. So, you can rest assured that with me, your fur baby will be taken care of with lots of love! I am working part-time from home and no longer have a pet in the home, so my schedule allows me to take time for pet care during the week. I have a fenced-in backyard that is accessed from a deck that is accessed from a slider in our dining room. And because there are no pets in the home currently, your fur baby would get 100% of my attention.

I specialize in providing calm, attentive care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while their owners are away.

I’m currently accepting a limited number of bookings so I can provide focused, consistent care and dependable communication for every pet.

I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Whether I’m in your home or they’re with me, your pet will be loved, safe, and treated like one of my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Muskegon
Michelle is the best (and Marvin, too!) She took great care of our two dogs while we were in town for an adventure race. She was very communicative, sent great photos of our pups, and even took them out for a hike while we were gone for the day. Highly recommend!!
Michelle was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and she took such great care of our two Boston Terriers. She was super kind, gentle, and patient with them. They instantly felt comfortable. Michelle took them on a nice long walk and kept us updated throughout the day. We came from Chicago to play golf at Arcadia and drop them off at Muskegon and had a long day, but Michelle was so flexible with timing and really went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Tyler has been so kind and accommodating as our plans changed and our drop off/pick up times changed last minute. Hercules felt right at home with her and her dog, Rhett. She communicated with me while we were away and I knew Hercules was safe in her home. Thank you, Tyler!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Muskegon on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Muskegon commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 144 sitters in Muskegon, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
