“Christine was AMAZING! If I could give her a 10 I definitely would. Our two dogs were there for 8 days and she kept me posted each and everyone of those days including a beautiful Christmas photo of them. My pups looked like they had so much fun and they were so spoiled I didn't think they would ever want to come back to us ?. Christine and her family were so kind. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies Christine I would definitely do it again ❤ thank you for the beautiful Christmas ornaments of my babies paws that was such a beautiful unexpected gift. Thank you for the gift of having a worried free vacation!”
“Very responsive to messages! I appreciated the pictures of our dog while they were there and could see how happy Coco was being there! Thank you again! An absolute pleasure and will definitely book again if needed!”
“Caroline take really good care of all her dogs. She sends regular updates and responds fast. Pookie really likes it there with his friends and shows a little resistance when he has to leave :)”
“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!”
“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”
“My dog loved his stay with Jacqueline! She was very attentive and you can tell how deeply she cares for your fur baby! She communicated regularly with updates and photos while I was away. If I need a sitter again we definitely will book again with her!”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”
“Sydney and Luna had an excellent stay! They were very spoiled with lots of love and attention. We received pictures of their fun twice a day! We highly recommend Jason and Kristen!”
“Sara was fantastic! Milo had a great time and came back happy! She gave regular updates, kept him entertained. We will definitely use her again when we are in the area.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of our family, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. Over the past 15 years, we’ve shared our home with four dogs, including caring for three into their senior years through age-related and chronic health conditions. We’ve also raised a litter of puppies, giving us experience with young dogs and the extra patience, attention, and consistency they require. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. We have a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our three dog-loving children have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. While we’re not looking to add another dog to our family permanently, we’d love to open our home to yours. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, family environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. Potty breaks, outdoor play, walks (if requested), feeding, medication, and plenty of affection are all easily incorporated into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, so they won’t just be supervised—they’ll be part of our family’s day. Whether your pup loves to play, relax, or simply be near people, they’ll receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love while they’re with us. I also make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Because I work from home, your pet will have supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I take the time to learn each dog’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the routine they’re used to at home. Our home has a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and all dogs are monitored while outside. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of affection, and I treat each guest as if they were one of my own. I also understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time.
“She is a wonderful sitter. We left our kittens for around 2weeks and she often sent us pictures which really made us happy. They appear to enjoy their stay with her. Thank you so much!”
“We don’t have enough Thank you’s for the great job Raydean does taking care of our Thor during our wedding weekend and honeymoon. Me and my wife greatly appreciate the care you give Thor and continuing the communication and pictures the whole time he was in her care. If I could 10 stars I would everytime. Thank you sooooo much Raydean 😊”
“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.”
“Nicole and her family took great care of Remi for us. Communication was great at drop off, pick up, and during the stay. Remi's meds were given on time, and we received pictures throughout her stay to show us she was being treated like royalty.”
“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.”
“We're so happy to have discovered Kim on Rover. She is an amazing dog caretaker! She treated our two dogs like her own and helped us feel comfortable leaving them behind. She sent many pictures of the dogs in and out of the house. She paid special attention to our senior dog and made him comfortable. We will definitely use her again.”
“Thanks so much Sarah! I am new to the area and this was my first time using rover, too. Sarah answered all my questions and send pics throughout the day. We had a great first experience and Sarah was a treat to work with.”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
97% of Rives Junction sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Rives Junction landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rives Junction 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 Rives Junction.
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.
You and your Rives Junction 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.
