About: I love animals in general and have an adorable toy poodle back at home that I used to care for full-time, but now my parents have custody of him since I am at college! I have experience with feeding, bathing, and walking. I can be very soothing and attentive when needed. I do not have much experience caring for larger dogs, but I am quite reliable. I am a student not taking very many credits this semester and I generally only have to leave for class in the morning about an hour a day. I do work part-time with my longest day on Thursday being a 4 hour shift. I have plenty of free-time I spend at my apartment. I will happily discuss my schedule with you! For larger dogs, I prefer to care for them at the owner’s place only whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking. This is because of the space of an apartment and also because my roommate has a cat! If your cat stays at my apartment, my roommate’s will stay in my roommate’s room so you do not have to worry about confrontation between the cats!
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! 😊
“One issue - Stella was wayyyyyy too spoiled! We felt very comfortable with Michelle and she communicated well from the first meet and greet to the week long stay. You can tell she truly loves animals and we will use her again. Thanks for making her feel at home and we also appreciate the fact that there is only one client at a time.”
“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.”
“Paige did an excellent job with our Dolce. Each day, we received updates with pictures/videos alongside a summary of the day. Paige was also very good with communicating with us in a timely manner. Overall, a great experience! Thanks Paige!”
“I’ve left Teddy with Samantha many times now, she is super helpful and is always willing to watch my pup when I have last minute requests. Teddy is always super happy and played-out after staying with Samantha and Tua and I can’t wait to use her again!”
“Makayla was absolutely amazing! We honestly really appreciate her being able to take in Rafa with such short notice. Even though it was only for a day, I was still worried about leaving him, and really appreciated the videos and pictures that she sent. It eased my mind to know that my boy was enjoying himself and that he had a good time.”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Lauren is GREAT!!!!! She provided care at her home for our dog DEXTER. She sent videos about the care status and sent texts to keep us informed. Lauren has a charming well kept home. The experience left us completely satisfied!!!! YAY...”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”
“Madison was amazing, my Little dog Benny just loved her. She took him for lots of walks which he loves. I feel she took excellent care of my dog. She sent me pictures everyday and made me feel so comfortable I could enjoy my vacation and not worry about Benny.”
“Sara and her family treated Kiwi like a true family member while we were away for 4 nights!!! She absolutely loved all of the attention from the kiddos, and Kiwi got treated to walks, trip to the park, and family time. We received daily updates with the cutest pictures. We will definitely be coming back to Sara for future needs when we are out of town!”
“Erica watched our little Shih Tzu lady for eight days and sent us frequent pictures and videos so we could see how our pup was doing. Communication was easy and stress-free; we recommend her!”
“KellyAnna was awesome to work with. Quick to respond initially. She was gracious enough to let us come over and get acquainted. My first visit I wasn't able to bring my dog with me. I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!”
“Our two senior dogs were well cared for and got along great in the pack. We were very happy with how very well they were cared for. Terrific large fenced in yard. Thank you Brooke!”
Okemos pet 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!
