“Hanna was excellent! She cared for my dogs attentively, asked questions and clarifications when needed. She provided many photos and hilarious commentary. My dogs adapted to her space and her pets readily, which was fantastic given that it was their first visit. Would use Hanna again in a heartbeat!”

They are great communicators and have an excellent setup for dogs to stay and play. I highly recommend them and will book with them again for sure if we’re back in the South Haven area.”

“We were in a bind when our original sitter got sick right before we had to leave for my son’s wedding, and Stacy came through for us at the very last minute. She was absolutely wonderful with Sophie, so patient and kind. She sent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. I honestly couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. We’d definitely love to use her again in the future.”

“Debra was absolutely amazing! She truly enjoys dog sitting and it showed thru her genuine excitement to care for our Goldendoodle after our meet-n-greet. It honestly felt like leaving our dog at Grandmas. She took our dog in on Christmas Day and even got him a present. She even shared some of her Christmas dinner ham with him (after asking for permission of course). Debra genuinely loves caring for dogs. She sends updates and photos throughout the day. We’ve never left our dog with a dog sitter before and she put us at ease after meeting with her. We couldn’t be happier with the care she gave our needy and active Goldendoodle. We HIGHLY recommend letting Debra care for your 4 legged child. She will give them all the love and attention they can handle.”

“Our high energy sweetheart can be overstimulated if the people around her don't know how to interact with her, but she did great with Alydia! We were traveling to visit family and we were nervous about leaving our dog with someone new, but we didn't have a thing to worry about! Alydia asked all the right questions and our dog loved being with her. Will definitely book her again when we're in the area. Thanks so much!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs. Either it being within the family or friends. I have experience with all sizes and ages. I have no concern adapting to your dogs unique needs. I work partly remote through the week. Allowing for pee breaks throughout the day. I have weekends open most of the time. It will be no problem to provide a comfortable stay for your pup. I have a fenced yard and safe house in a great neighborhood. I currently have one medium dog full time and my girlfriend has two small dogs here part time.

About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals ranging from farm animals to indoor pets, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles of my own, so daily animal care is already a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, walks, administering routine care, potty breaks, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and treated like family while in my care. I work full-time as a dental assistant Monday–Thursday, but I’m available before and after work and have full availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I make pet care a priority and can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and care to ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while with me. I provide a safe, loving environment and follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and lots of attention to keep them comfortable and happy.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Riverside 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 Riverside.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Riverside 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.
