“Love Fay, what a wonderful dog sitter, I’d trust Fay with my kids if I had any small children anymore. Fay was very caring, sent me photos around the clock of my dog’s activities which included long walks, napping, making friends with Fay’s dog. It was nice my dog Bao had a friend for a while in her care. I’d rebook with Fay in a heartbeat. Wonderful person.”
“Ellen did a great job for us. She was a great communicator and took care of all of our dog’s special needs. Her daily messages were very helpful and eased our anxiety while we were away. Ellen was especially sensitive to our dogs needs relative to the couple dogs that were staying with Ellen at the same time. Great job Ellen, we look forward to having you watch our dog again soon. Thank you so much.”
“Chris took great care of my dog, Freya, for a weekend. He was attentive to her needs and kept me updated with lots of photos throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“Samantha was great with our dog. She sent multiple pictures and videos and was very easy to communicate with throughout the process. Her dog seemed friendly and got along well with our dog. Her place is easy to get to in East Lansing, and she was easy to work with. Our dog came back happy after a two night stay.”
“Our energetic girl had a great 3-night stay with Cari. She was well cared for and enjoyed herself tremendously! Cari sent updates/pictures several times a day, which was reassuring, especially since it was our first time using Rover. We recommend Cari highly!”
“Christine was amazing with our 11 yr. old pitbull. She gave him lots of love, attention and extra care when he was anxious. Christine treated him as one of her own. She sent pics and updates every day. Responded In a timely manner and even helped us feel less anxious while being away. She follows directions and uses good discernment. Highly recommend Christine and will definitely have her watch our pup if needed.”
“Shadow has stayed with Brooke several times over the Summer. The most recent was this past weekend when I had an unexpected death in my family. Brooke and her husband, Ben, have told us that they enjoy having him, and they were very kind to take him without much notice this time. When I dropped Shadow off, Ben came out on the porch and Shadow ran right to him with his tail wagging! This was a great testimony from Shadow because he sometimes wants nothing to do with other men. When Brooke sends pictures of Shadow stretched out, relaxed and happy on their living room floor, I know that he is feeling extremely comfortable and happy. This always means so much, particularly this weekend when I was dealing with a very stressful family situation. I know that Shadow is always getting the best care and a lot of love from Brooke, Ben and Tobi and Buddy. He is actually going back again in a couple of days for a 5-day stay that has been planned for a while. Once again I will be able to feel relaxed and not worry about him while I'm gone. Thank you so much Brooke and Ben!”
“This is our 2nd time using Toni and we couldn’t be happier with her! She is easy to communicate with and we love the updates we get. We always love seeing pictures! This really helps us feel more comfortable while we are away from our pup! She is very accommodating and has a great setup! Toni is also a pro at giving meds and eye drops! We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve fostered and house sitting cats as well as dogs multiple times. Can handle any size dog, grew up with a big Labrador myself. Have experience with giving pets medicine before too. I also speak Spanish! (The cat from the picture was one I fostered for three months) I work weekdays until 5 pm and leave the house around 10 in the e morning. Rest of my hours of the day would be dedicated to your pet. I try to gain trust in our first meeting that way we can build a relationship where your pet feels comfortable with me. I try to always give them pets and cuddles if needed.
“My dog, Pretzel, enjoyed his stay with Julie and friends. She is a great dog person. That is to say she was cheerful, relaxed and attentive to my dog. He got his exercise in and made himself at home.”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was young and many friends and family rely on me to walk, feed, give medications and care for their animals. I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter for a few years growing up and I currently work at a animal daycare and boarding facility. Im currently working a part time job so my schedule is super flexible during the week day! I am also available any time during the weekends. I have a large open yard for your fur baby to run around and play as well as large rooms in my home to roam around. I have a older friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company. I can also accommodate anything that is needed to make it comfortable and stress free as possible.
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Okemos
I was initially nervous about leaving my fur baby with anyone because my niece would watch her at our home. Kimberly kept my Remi Love and treated her like a pampered princess 👑! I received daily updates via texts and could see that Remi was happy and very well taken care of. I will be booking with Kimberly for our next vacation! Thank you Kimberly!
Chris gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. He was confident and poised when it came to caring for our busy puppy, which made it so much easier on us to leave her in his and his family's care. We received beautiful pics of our dog playing and snuggling, and reassurance that she was doing well regularly.
We don’t leave Lincoln very often so we were very happy with her level of comfort with Michaela. She came home happy and Michaela said she was great during her stay. If we need care for our dog again, we will definitely be happy with booking Michaela in the future.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Okemos home-away-from-home, 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 Okemos.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Okemos sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.
