“We had an excellent experience with Brooklyn taking care of our dogs! Brooklyn is trustworthy, professional and truly loves animals. Knowing they were so well cared for helped us relax on our trip. We will definitely use Brooklyn again and highly recommend her.”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She was so easy to communicate with, sent daily updates and pictures, and was always very responsive. Our dog had an ear infection when we dropped her off and she went above and beyond in helping her get the right level of care. We couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she provided us with while taking care of our dog.”
“They took good care of my pup. They welcomed us in their home and made sure Snuggz was accommodated. They were even so kind to provide a bowl since I forgot to bring one. The communication was also great when needed. I would recommend”
“My boy Tucker is a very playful, snuggly guy that requires a lot of attention aka love. Sabrina and family gave him just what he needed to feel comfortable and his playmate Stella was the cheery on top! We really appreciated all the photo updates on our boy and seeing him happy and having a great time! We will definitely be booking again the next time we need a sitter. A huge thank you to Sabrina and Family!”
“Kasey sent wonderful videos and was in contact regularly. My baby girl was happy and I can't ask for more. I will be back and I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur baby.”
“Belle was well cared for by Krista and enjoyed her stay, especially playing with K's 2 dogs in a large fenced yard. When my wife took ill during our trip and we were stuck in anther town, Krista was able and willing to keep Belle an extra day-and a-half in spite of an already busy schedule and houseguests. Her communications were always prompt and concise. She literally saved our day.”
“Olivia did a great job. Our dog seemed to settle in with her just fine. Good daily updates. We appreciated that we felt we could trust her with our family pet while on vacation. We would love to use her services again. Thanks Olivia for taking care of our girl.”
“I am beyond happy with the care & love Michelle provided! This was the first ever overnight stay away from home for my large breed senior dog, so I was a bit nervous. Michelle provided excellent communication & was incredibly accommodating to his needs...& Smoochie was an awesome playmate (I think Django might have a girlfriend now, LoL) We've already booked another over night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! :)”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“If I could give a six star review, I would. From start to finish Damoan went above and beyond. This was my first time using this platform and if im being honest, I was kinda worried about the care my buddy would get. Then I was IMMEDIATELY put at ease talking with Damoan. She was extremely responsive, professional and friendly. I booked as a last minute situation. She came and picked my buddy up and even " took care " of an unexpected welcoming " gift " my buddy had waiting for her. Lol. She gave me constant updates on how he was doing and interacting with other dogs she was sitting for. When I arrived to pick him up he was sad to leave, which was the MOST comforting sign. I will most DEFINITELY have Damoan watch Kang again in the future. I cant thank you enough for taking such amazing care of my buddy. See you soon.”
“WOW! What a great experience my Golden Retriever Fenway had with Breita and her family! Beautiful farm setting, it’s another Wow when u enter their grounds. You just know when you meet Breita and her kids which took to Fenway right away that your dog will have a terrific experience!!!”
About: 🐾 I have been an animal lover my whole life! I have a flexible schedule working remote. This allows me to give your fur baby plenty of attention, exercise, and routine care. I have pet CPR and first aid training from the American Red Cross. 6 acres with trails and a fenced in backyard. I am capable of taking dogs of all ages and sizes. I’m a work-from-home professional with a flexible schedule, which means I can give my furry house guests plenty of attention, supervision, and love throughout the day! 🐾 Our home is also home to our own dog and cat, so animals are a big part of our everyday life. I want every pet who stays with us to feel right at home! ❤️ Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! 🐾 I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, plus trails for exploring and keeping curious minds and bodies active. Our friendly chocolate Lab and resident cat may provide some company, and I can accommodate crate time whenever needed. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s individual needs, routines, and comfort to help them feel safe, secure, and right at home! ❤️
“Molly is great! She has watched Scout twice, and she is prepared for his high energy personality. I love that she has a fenced in backyard he can explore, and her dog Spade is a sweetie who gets along with everyone.”
“Christine was fabulous with our dog, Tillie! Tillie can sometimes be a little nervous and it was easy to see in the many pictures that Christine sent that Tillie warmed up to her very quickly! She gave her a lot of personal attention and walks. When we picked her up, it was clear Tillie had bonded with Christine during her 5 day stay with her. We feel very lucky to have found her!”
“I couldn’t have asked for better pet-sitters to keep an eye on my dog while I was out of town! Sara and Patrick took excellent care of him, accommodated his daily routine, and made sure he had lots of fun and attention while I was away. Would leave six stars if I could!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Onondaga can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Onondaga home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Onondaga.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Onondaga. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Onondaga sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
