About: Hi, I’m Carlie a mom of three and animal lover who works from home. I understand the need for someone trustworthy to care for your pets. Whether it’s feeding, checking in, or walks, I’d be happy to help. We have Greenley, our 5-year-old English Cream Golden Retriever, Jack Jack the cat, and Moose the horse, so I’m experienced with all kinds of pets. I’ll ensure your pets get the care they deserve while you're away. I look forward to meeting your furry (or hoofed) friends! I work remote, so it is easy to fit your pet needs into my schedule. You let us know if there are any special requests. Greenley stays out and lounges in one of the kids rooms while we are out of the home. We are happy to leave your pet out or crate them if they feel safer that way. This is totally up to you!

About: I have had dogs since I was a child. We have consistently had two dogs, mostly labs and Goldens. I have experience in diabetic dogs since two of my dogs have needed shots. I would love to care for your dogs like they are my own. I just recently retired and have no future plans to travel at this time. So I am very flexible and available to care for your fur babies. I do request that the dogs be friendly to strangers coming into their territory. I have two very friendly dogs & a cat that I enjoy very much so I hope to share the love.

About: We’ve been caring for animals all our lives and absolutely love critters of all shapes and sizes! I also have several years of experience working at an Animal Emergency Hospital, giving me the knowledge and confidence to provide attentive, reliable care for your furry family members. We live on a little homestead in the countryside, where pets can relax, enjoy some fresh air, and feel right at home while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like part of our family and given plenty of love, attention, and care! I’m home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods. I keep a consistent daily routine with regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will have a safe, comfortable, and fun stay filled with plenty of love and care! We have a large, fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play! I also have three friendly pups, so your pet will have plenty of company if they want it. Our home is their home; pets are welcome on the furniture and can enjoy as many cuddles as they’d like. If your pet prefers a little space of their own, they can have their own bedroom here, and I’m happy to crate if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in New Era on Rover is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $45 per day. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 New Era 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.

As of October 2026, there are 53 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MI. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
