“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.”
“Our third stay with Christine and as always, a pleasure. The pups got the attention and care they needed. They had adequate play time and enjoyed their time away from home!”
“Sarah took really good care of my Loki. It was his first time having a dog sitter and she ensured I received pictures, videos and updates about everything. Thank you so much Sarah!”
“Kathy was a fantastic caregiver for our 10 month old pup, Sunny! We received regular updates and pictures of their fun activities. I can tell Sunny came home super happy, and also tired from all the fun! We will definitely use Kathy again in the future.”
“Amber took care of my senior cock-a-poo for the day. He is an old guy with issues (deaf, anxiety) and she seemed unfazed by his challenges. I found Amber to be very pleasant and kind, and she and her child are clearly animal lovers! I always worry about my dog staying with anyone, but I felt comfortable leaving him with her. Thank you, Amber!”
“We loved Jennifer but in the past 2 weeks I have had 2 family emergencies and she accommodated Ollie giving me peace of mind and allowing me to do what I needed to do. She's the best!!!”
“Karen was a wonderful boarder for our 3 year old, high energy “puppy”! We got daily pictures and updates. Her home is clean and dog friendly! Henry had a wonderful time! She even got him to eat during the week which usually doesn’t happen in our absence. We appreciate her care so we could visit family! THANK YOU!”
“Toni is amazing with my 90+ pound bully mixes. She knows how to handle large breeds, administers medications and treats my big boys with love. Toni is a God send for us.”
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! ❤️
“Kasey could not have been a better sitter! She made me feel so at ease, taking over for me in a sticky situation! She was able to watch the pup last minute, making the transition seamless with plenty of videos to make me smile!!”
“Lily had a great time with Olivia. We were away over 2 weeks and could tell that Lily felt safe. We knew she was well cared for. Lily developed an ear infection and Olivia handled the vet and giving Lily her meds which isn’t the easiest thing to do. When picking Lily up she was happy to see me but still ran back to Olivia to say goodbye which is always a good thing. We definitely will have Lily stay with Olivia again!”
About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I'm a reliable and experienced pet caregiver with 6+ years of dog handling and training experience, 13 years of cat care experience, and 5 years of caring for guinea pigs and other small animals. I am also CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs, and I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every visit. I prefer in-home pet care only (at the client's home), as I have my own pets at home, including 5 dogs and 3 cats. My services include drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and cage cleaning, medication administration, puppy care, and overnight stays. I have experience with large and small dogs, leash training, basic obedience reinforcement, and high-needs care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. I am dependable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide attentive, compassionate care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. My schedule is completely open on the weekends and Wednesdays, and I work part-time Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. But I am available after 4:30 those days. I am only comfortable caring for your animals in their home as I have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. All animals are treated as they are my own babies.
About: I don’t have any previous pet care experience, but I absolutely love dogs and would love to learn how to take care of them. I want to spend time with them, play with them, take them for walks, and give them lots of love and attention. I’m excited to gain experience, learn about their needs, and build a special bond with them. Even though I’m a beginner, I’m willing to learn and do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a busy routine, but I would make time to care for a pet. I would enjoy spending time with them, playing with them, taking them for walks, and making sure they have food, water, and a safe place to rest. I would plan my schedule around their needs and give them love and attention every day. I’m new to pet care, but I’m excited to learn and make it part of my routine. I would care for pets with love, patience, and responsibility. I would follow the pet owner’s instructions, make sure the pets have fresh water and food, keep their environment clean and safe, and spend time playing with them. I would also give them attention, take them for walks if needed, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Since I’m new to pet care, I’m willing to learn each pet’s needs and follow the owner’s routine carefully.
“Winston loved Kris and fam. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, despite his anxiety. Winston seemed to really get along with her pug! She was very communicative and sent photos and videos. She even dropped him off and made sure he was settled because I had a red eye flight. She also gave him a Christmas stocking which was so sweet. He loved it!”

Because of this, I will be home every day to hang out with your babies! I have always owned dogs and now have only one 11 year old sweet, friendly golden doodle, she would love some friends to play with. Reasons to choose us: Fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run and play. Holiday, weekend and overnight openings. Constant supervision and attention. My home is a safe and welcoming place for your pet with plenty of space and toys for playtime or napping. I would love to have your fur family as part of our fun! In my house, the dogs are part of the family. I will be home every day to play and snuggle with your pups! I am happy to walk your dog several times a day or just snuggle on the couch I have a fully fenced yard with lots of room to run.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since before I completed my undergraduate degree in Animal Science, taking part in rescue organizations and volunteering as a foster. I also have 2 dogs (7 and 4 y/o) that I raised since they were puppies. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats. If your pets have any special needs, let me know and we can discuss! I'm currently finishing up a PhD in animal science at MSU, so I have a somewhat flexible schedule that can be adjusted based on your needs. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is flexible as I build it myself. I can adjust based on pet care needs, as well as do check-ins throughout the day. Being an owner of two very different dogs, I understand that there are different requirements and needs for each pet, so I will take care of your pet based on any of the requirements you set.

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.
94% of sitters in Pleasant Lake 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 Pleasant Lake 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 Pleasant Lake.
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 Pleasant Lake. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 Pleasant Lake 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.
