“Thank you to Emily and her family for taking such good care of our girls. From dealing with different medications, special food to eat and dealing with our new rescue who still has accidents in the house sometimes. She went above and beyond. The reports and pictures daily helped ease that awful feeling of leaving them. We would book with her again.”

“Ashleigh’s place is like our dog’s vacation place when we go away on vacation! Ashleigh sends regular updates and pictures, and we have such great peace of mind because we can see how much fun Mochi is having! Thank you for taking good care of Mochi!”

“I couldn’t be more impressed with Sabrina’s care for my dog, Sophie. From the start, Sabrina was attentive, easy to reach, and communicated clearly throughout Sophie’s stay. She went above and beyond, frequently sending photos and videos that let me see just how much fun Sophie was having. It was reassuring and heartwarming to know Sophie was in such good hands. But what really sets Sabrina apart is the special touch she adds. She created these amazing custom magnetic photos that perfectly captured Sophie’s experience and her wonderful personality. It was an incredibly thoughtful gesture that I never expected! Sabrina exceeded every expectation, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

“Our dog hadn't been to a sitter in years. He had a great time and looks forward to a return visit with his new friends. Christie was great at keeping us updated with photos and updates.”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have three dogs, all of whom I brought home at eight weeks old and personally raised and trained. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s a lifelong passion. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, from Chihuahuas to Pit Bulls to Alaskan Malamutes and everything in between. Over the years, I have provided pet care for neighbors, friends, colleagues, and clients, and I understand the importance of treating every dog with patience, kindness, and individualized care. While working as a home health care aide, I was often entrusted with caring for my clients’ pets, ensuring they were fed, exercised, and comfortable while their owners received care. I also volunteered as a dog walker with the Humane Society of West Michigan, where I gained experience working with dogs of varying personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I am comfortable administering medications, following detailed feeding plans and dietary restrictions, and adapting to each dog’s unique routine. I am also certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR, giving pet owners added peace of mind that their companions are in capable hands. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply spending time with someone who genuinely loves dogs, I am committed to providing safe, dependable, and compassionate care while you’re away. As a devoted dog owner of three, caring for animals is an integral part of my daily life, and I extend that same level of attention, responsibility, and affection to every pet in my care. I am fully comfortable handling all aspects of daily dog care, including feeding, walking, potty breaks, enrichment, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be home for most of the day throughout the week, as well as on weekends, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I also have the option to work from home when additional attention or frequent potty breaks are needed. In my household, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods. On typical days when I am away from home, my dogs are alone no longer than 5–6 hours. In many cases, my boyfriend may be home when I am not, and when both of us are working, we are generally away for no more than 4–5 hours at a time. If both of us are expected to be away for longer than two hours during a pet’s care period, I communicate this in advance to ensure transparency and appropriate planning. I maintain a consistent but flexible routine that prioritizes feeding, hydration, exercise, and enrichment. Dogs always have access to fresh water and are fed twice daily (or as often as your individual dog requires). Potty breaks are provided frequently based on each dog’s individual needs and cues; however, I am more than willing to follow a more structured schedule if that is what your pet is accustomed to. I am also experienced with administering medications, including monthly heartworm and flea prevention, and take great care to ensure all medications are given accurately and on time. While my household follows a generally relaxed routine, I understand that many pets thrive on structure. I am fully comfortable adhering to detailed instructions and incorporating established routines into my daily care. During the days I am available according to my Rover schedule, I am home for the majority of the day. Any brief absences are typically limited to short appointments, during which my boyfriend may assist with supervision, or pets will be safely confined if appropriate. Above all, I prioritize safety, supervision, and communication. Your pet will never be left without attentive care. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure consistent supervision, engagement, and affection so that every animal feels secure, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their time with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I share my home with three friendly dogs, each with their own unique personality: an energetic and affectionate Boston Terrier, a more reserved but sweet Boston Terrier, and a laid-back Chihuahua who enjoys staying close by. They are well-socialized and can provide companionship for visiting dogs when appropriate. My home is set up to accommodate a variety of needs and routines. I have three individual crates with comfortable bedding available for dogs who are crate trained or require confinement, and you are always welcome to bring your own crate if it helps your pet feel more at home. While my own dogs enjoy free access to the house and are allowed on the furniture, I am happy to follow your pet’s established rules and routines, including using gates or designated areas if needed. Although my yard is not physically fenced, safety is always a top priority. My dogs are never outdoors unsupervised, and the same standard of care applies to every pet I watch. I have a large, open yard that provides plenty of space for exercise, and I regularly walk dogs on a leash around the property and in the neighborhood. If your dog is most comfortable on a leash or tie-out while outside, I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences. All of my dogs are current on their vaccinations and receive routine veterinary care. I pay close attention to changes in their health, behavior, and overall well-being, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every pet in my care. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will treat both your home and your companion with the utmost respect. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, training, household rules, and daily routines to ensure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible while you are away. At bedtime, I am happy to follow whatever sleeping arrangement your pet is accustomed to, whether that means sleeping in a crate, on their own bed, or sharing a room with me. My goal is to maintain their normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable. My boyfriend and I live together, but I will be your pet’s primary caregiver. He may occasionally assist if I need to step away briefly, providing additional supervision and support, but all communication and primary care responsibilities remain with me. For added peace of mind, I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid and CPR. You can trust that your pet will receive attentive, compassionate, and responsible care throughout their stay.
“Highly Recommended! Melanie went above and beyond to make our toy poodle welcomed and comfortable when we boarded him for our trip! I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and even a fun video. Melanie is prompt, reliable and trustworthy!! She treats your dog like her own. When we came back from our trip, Tucker was happy and relaxed. Thank you again for everything!! Sheryl P.”
“Raluca was wonderful to our two girls! We have 2 French Bulldogs, got regular updates and Raluca was quick and eager to answer any questions we had. Definitely recommend and will have her babysit again.”

“Our dog, Maggie, loved her time at Tracy’s house! Tracy was very communicative and booked us on late notice. She has a big fenced in backyard that our dog loved. Maggie was tired and happy when she returned home. Thank you, Tracy!”
“Jenna is amazing! She was ultra responsive when it came to booking and she made it super easy. The boys absolutely loved her and had a great time. They came home all tuckered out. We can’t wait to see her again!”
“Emily took great care of Mario while we were out of town. She was super comfortable with our very excited dog from the first time they met, and communicated with pictures and texts during his stay. Mario had a great time with them and his new friend, Skeeter! We absolutely won't hesitate to send Mario to Emily for future visits!”

“Laura and her family were great! Awesome communication and you can tell they truly love your dog as if they are their own. We will definitely be using her again in the future. Excellent choice for boarding your dog! 5 Stars!!”


“Michael was such a great sitter for my dog! He took him for lots of walks & regularly communicated and sent pictures during his stay. He was very caring - would have him sit again!”


“Kijah was so friendly and communicative. Louie received excellent care and made so many friends! I had a scheduling blip and needed to extend the time last minute and Kijah was really flexible.”


“Went to Tennessee for nine days and left are miniature poodle Coco with Donna. To say that our dog had a fabulous time is an understatement. She found her favorite chair where she took her afternoon naps and could also see out the window at possible new friends going bye. She really enjoyed her time and we did too knowing that she was so happy with Donna. Best experience we’ve ever had with a Dog sitter.”


About: I’m 24 and have been around dogs my entire life, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life! I have a 5-year-old St. Bernard/Poodle mix named Grover, who is friendly, playful, and gets along well with other dogs. I live in a house with a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely play, explore, and get some energy out. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family—with lots of attention, love, walks, playtime, and of course, plenty of cuddles! 🐶💕 I work a full-time 8–5 job, but I have a flexible hybrid schedule! I work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so I’m home with your pets for most of the day on those days. I’m typically in the office Tuesday and Friday and am usually gone from around 7:30 AM–5:30 PM. Outside of work hours, I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention! For overnight stays, I’m happy to make sure your pets are comfortable and have everything they need while you’re away. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and boundaries—whether they’re an energetic pup who loves to play or a couch potato who prefers to cuddle! When pets stay in my home, they’ll have access to a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and lots of love and attention. My dog Grover is friendly and enjoys having other dogs around. When staying in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

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 Orleans 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 Orleans 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 Orleans.
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 Orleans. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 Orleans 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.
