“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“Olivia was wonderful. She watched our dog for 5 days and sent great updates. She also gave him an oatmeal bath bc he was itchy and bought him toys. Would absolutely recommend booking with her.”
“We're so happy to have discovered Kim on Rover. She is an amazing dog caretaker! She treated our two dogs like her own and helped us feel comfortable leaving them behind. She sent many pictures of the dogs in and out of the house. She paid special attention to our senior dog and made him comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
“Jason and Kristen always make our dog feel at home. Great communication and very accommodating for our travel schedule! We feel so confident in leaving our dog in their care! Highly recommend!”
“Ellen takes great care of my Holly. Ellen provides me updates on Holly and includes pictures. I received updates at least twice daily - I had no reason to be worried and I could focus on enjoying my trip”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“Jackie is very sweet and kind. She took wonderful care of Luna for 10 days while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and sent pictures to show us how Luna was doing. I'll definitely call on Jackie again in the future.”
About: I've grown up with spayed/unspayed dogs, tiny and medium sized, and have bathed them throughout the years. I'm less experienced with cats as I wasn't allowed one as a kid, but I would always play with and look after my friends' cats when I got the chance 😸 I'm currently a student at Michigan State University, with a part time job as an ice hockey referee. I am usually home 18 hours out of the day most of the days of the week! I live alone in an apartment on an upper floor. 650 sq. ft of space, so it's spacious. There is also an outdoor yard if needed. Caring for your pets will give me breaks between studying and homework! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, and making your pets happy will make me happy! 😊
“Alice was amazing with our pup! Her house and yard set up is perfect to allow dogs to run and play. Alice was very communicative and patient as this was our first Rover experience. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for and safe while we enjoyed a Michigan State game. Will definitely use Alice again and highly recommend her! Her dog is also super sweet and friendly.”
“Rosemary always seems to have a great time and comes back happy. Chris is friendly and easy to work with - really happy to have a place we can count on to board Rose and know she's in great hands. Thank you!”
“Kasey was an excellent choice for watching our puppy, Rocky. She provided regular updates throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. When we returned, Rock was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Kasey for pet sitting!”
“I highly recommend Victoria and Rishi. My dog is 15 years old and needs some extra care. A few days before our trip, he went to the vet for a routine check. The vet called us later when we were out of town and said that our dog had a urinary tract infection and needed an antibiotic. Victoria was happy to go get his medicine from our vet and start giving it to him while we were gone without missing a beat. He came home relaxed, well rested, and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Christine took very good care of Cinco. Cinco is an elderly cat, who has special needs. Christine was very good to him. She sent me photos and videos throughout his stay, showing how happy he was. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caretaker/sitter for your pet.”
“This was the first time using Rover and Alex was just a great choice. She and her family were delightful, sending me pics and keeping me posted. It was a great decision to opt for personal care rather than a kennel. She was flexible, and I would seek her services again based on the good vibes.”
“Lauren watched our dog over a holiday and made our vacation so much easier and more enjoyable! The updates and photos were so appreciated. I don’t think our sweet Ivy wants to leave her! We have never tried Rover because it was hard to find an affordable and trustworthy person - Lauren is it!!”
“Haley provided EXCEPTIONAL care, from the meet and greet to Milo’s sleepover! I appreciated the attention to detail, communication and the picture you printed of Milo’s stay is now hanging on my fridge! THANK YOU for the special touches you provided. 💗”
“This was my first time with Rover and Lashyia was great!! She worked through my meet and greet, and gave constant updates while I was out of town. I felt very comfortable with my baby girl being with her and her baby girl. I will definitely be booking her in the future!”

Okemos dog parents share their Rover experiences
Was running very late from a delayed flight, and wouldn’t have time in the morning to pick my pups up before work. Ellen stayed up late so I could get my girls, and even helped me load them into my car. I’m always so appreciative for her and the care she gives my two dogs!
My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.
Debra was great with our dog and her dog and ours got along really well. Debra did a great job with our special needs. She also communicated very well regarding how the stay was progressing. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned and it was apparent our dog enjoyed her stay. Thanks, Debra!
Alsacia took care of our cat Monty and dog Bear while we were out of the country and we couldn't be happier with the job she did. Both are a handful to take care of and she was more than up to the task. She was communicative, reassuring, professional, flexible, and a delight overall. We will be rebooking with her in the future!
