“Alice was wonderful! Her enormous backyard was perfect vacation land for our dog, who loved running around with her other boarders. Alice was also very accommodating of our dog's special diet. We are so grateful for her taking a rather long booking at the last minute. We were in a tough spot and she was a huge help! Thanks Alice!”
“Sydney had a wonderful stay with Cari! Being this was her first stay we appreciated the pictures and updates from Cari. From the day we connected with Cari for a meet and greet she’s been prompt in her communication and her friendly and welcoming demeanor made us feel comfortable leaving Sydney. We highly recommend Cari!”
About: I’ve been a dog and cat girl my whole life. From learning patience with young dogs at the age of 5 weeks old, to attending to a 14 -year-old dog, I have open-handedly experienced what it is like dealing with dogs of all ages. I have also dealt with the sassy teenager phase from both dogs and cats. When they are bored, they will make it known. The biggest take I have learned from taking care of dogs and cats is that they won’t always be on your timeline. You have to be extremely patient and take time to train them and be there for them. I’m currently looking for a part-time job, and I am going to school but I mainly take online classes, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pets the attention they need. My schedule is pretty much free besides Wednesdays but if I’m boarding I am available. I have a fenced in mini pet park next to my apartment. Your furry companion will get all of the exercise he/she needs! My apartment is very cozy and safe, only smaller pets are allowed so there won’t be any issue with other pet owner neighbors.
“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.”
“The best. She had my baby for 2 weeks and I didn’t worry one second. She sent pictures daily. He had the best time and was so well taken care of. I would recommend Baleigh to any one. Will always be my first choice in the watching my fur babies!”
“Makayla was awesome. She was upfront about everything and communicated very well. I received multiple pictures and videos every day while she watched my dog. Highly recommend!”
About: I raised a Golden Retriever for six years; he passed away in 2020. Now, I have an energetic Border Collie and a charming Mini Dachshund. I am fully capable of taking care of young age dogs and senior dogs. I'm a remote worker with ample time to devote to your adorable pet. With a fenced yard for endless play, your furry friend will have a blast! I have a secure fenced yard, medium and large crates available, and two friendly, playful companions; rest assured, your furry friend will never feel lonely.
“Megan was fantastic with our dog! She was very easy to work with and patient with our playful pup! Also gave us updates and was very flexible with our schedule change. Would definitely recommend!”
“As a local rover sitter myself, so I’m setting the bar high, I was very pleased with Thalia. My 6lb baby lost his brother of 15 yrs a week before my unavoidable trip. I was beyond devastated, full of greif and unbelievable guilt at the thought of having to leave my little guy now, especially with the level of depression porky was in. Thalia took Porky all around with her the little dog bag I have so he wasn’t alone. She gave him the attention and love he needed to finally start eating again. After being gone 4 days I was so relieved to see Porky’s personality coming back and he’s eating normally again now that we’re home. I know this would not have ever been possible if he hadn’t been receiving the love, attenti & affection the entire trip I was gone. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Thalia for giving me the peace of mind to travel again and know Porky will be in good hands❤️”
“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 dog Lucy had a GREAT week with Breita and her family! We got great pics of her enjoying herself and I know they took great care of her! Not sure she wanted to come home!!!”
“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!!”
“Sara and John Patrick took exceptional care of our senior girl. We received regular updates with photos of how she was doing and all of the love she was getting from the family. We are always hesitant to leave her with someone who isn't family, especially as she has gotten older, but we had no concerns after dropping her off. We will highly recommend them to friends and hope to rebook with them when the need arises.”
“Jordan took care of our pup for over a week, sending regular updates and pictures to show us how she was doing. He communicated well and was very accommodating to our schedule and our dog’s needs. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Just note that your dog might have so much fun that they’ll be sad to leave Camp Jordan!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Okemos
We had a wonderful experience boarding our Great Dane mix, Rosemary, with Christine. She got lots of walks, attention, and love, and we really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout her stay. It was clear that Rosemary was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely recommend Christine and would happily board Rosemary with them again!
Priscena was absolutely wonderful with my cat! She is incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I could tell that she really cared about pet and enjoyed spending time with him, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and pictures every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She was also super flexible and accommodating when I needed to change the drop-off time, which I really appreciated. Priscena is such a kind and responsible cat sitter, and I would absolutely trust her with my pet again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for and love their cat!
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.

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 pet, 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
