“Laura and her husband , Were AMAZING! I felt very comfortable with leaving our Romeo with them, I appreciated all of the photos especially knowing our little guy would be nervous, Definitely would recommend them to anyone”
“Carolina was absolutely amazing with Dixie. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in caring and capable hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and gave so much love and attention to my Dixie —it was clear she genuinely care about dogs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a tidy space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”
“Dawn took fantastic care of my baby! She came home beautifully tired out from playing with Dawn's own fur babies. Dawn provided informative daily updates that kept my mind completely at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“This visit was my fur baby’s first boarding with Amanda. I was so nervous leaving him as he is an elder dog, however, Amanda put my mind at ease through consistent communications and lots of photos throughout his stay. I am so grateful for the love that she gave my boy! I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again”
“Katrina is THE BEST! My Coco was taken care of so well! I received videos and pics everyday from her while I was on vacation and that made me very happy and comforted. Katrina deserves five stars! Thank you for all of your hard work. Definitely will recommend Katrina to anyone who wants their fur baby pampered and loved.”
“Lindsay did great with both of my dogs. Provided constant updates either in the morning or at the end of the day along with pictures. The updates were very detailed which helped me as I have anxiety about leaving my dogs with new sitters. She also gave my dogs a lot of grace for the first time visiting. Thank you!”
“Lindsay took great care of my Oliver for the 5 days I was away on a trip. All the pictures she sent me showed him making himself right at home and if you believe a dog can smile he wore his smile in every shot while either going for a walk or laying next to her watching movies. I will be leaving my Ollie with Lindsay whenever needs be. Thanks again!”
“I boarded my two dogs with Steven, he was very responsive and attentive! He sent photo and video updates, which was so thoughtful and reassuring. If you're looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative dog sitter who will treat your pet like family, Steven is the person you want. I'll definitely be using his services again!”
“Monica took very good care of my little guy all weekend. Seeing all the pictures throughout the weekend seemed like he was right at home and very comfortable with her and her family. She also was able to administer medication to him because of a last minute ear infection. Definitely will be booking future dog sitting with Monica in the future. Thanks Again!!!”
“Janelle was wonderful. She took great care of our dog and kept us posted on how things were going. Would recommend her for anyone looking for an awesome and thoughtful sitter!”
“Iris and Thomas were wonderful with our high energy pit mix! They accommodated us with pickup time which had to be later due to some bad traffic, and were quick to respond when communicating.”
“I was very happy with Kristen taking care of my dog! He had a safe space to run around and not take off and had playmates for the week. She sent us updates so we knew he was having a fun vacation also! Very accommodating with drop off and pick up 👍🏻”
“Great pet sitters! Jin and Brian, along with their sweet kids, took amazing care of my cat. They kept me updated with photos every day, played with him, and made sure his food and all of his conditions were perfect. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he had the best possible experience. This was my cat’s first time being around another cat since he was a few months old, so I was nervous at first since they already have a cat. But they handled everything so well — my cat was never scared and felt comfortable right away. I truly appreciated their care and attention. I definitely recommend them!”
About: I have over 6 years of experience working in kennels caring for both dogs and cats of all ages. Along with several family friends and people in my community that I have sat for many many times. I have special training in providing medications in any form (Pills, ear/eye drops, topical medications, insulin injections, etc) and training/experience working with dogs of all temperaments (anxious, aggressive, energetic, reactive, etc.) I have a true passion and love for working with cat and dogs but am at not a point in my life where I can get on of my own, so I would love nothing more to spend some time with your fur baby! I am currently finishing up at school at Michigan State University but am commuting from my hometown for this semester. Fortunately I only have to be up in East Lansing for a couple of hours 2 days a week, and I am investing the rest of my time into my online classes. This has left my schedule pretty open for the upcoming months and I will be spending majority of my time with your pet during their stay! For those interested in boarding, I do live with my parents and a sibling, but they all love to have furry visitors and your pet is guaranteed to get an abundance of attention! When I care for someone else's pet I truly treat them as my own. I have great relationship with all of the clients I currently sit for and their pets. My main goal when sitting is to make sure that both the owner and the pet are entirely comfortable while they are in my care. To do this I try to create a very open line of communication and send frequent updates and pictures and make sure to ask questions rather than guessing how to care for someone else's pet.
“Nathan and his family are excellent dog sitters. Duke had a great time. He was sending pictures so I can see how Duke was managing being away from home. I truly appreciate the great care they gave my dog. I’ll definitely use them again.”
“My dogs are unable to talk but Angelina sent a lot of photos throughout their stay. If they could talk, I think they would say they had a great time! They played, went for walks, and relaxed comfortably inside and outside. They came home nourished, clean and unharmed. It was nice not to worry while out of town. I would love to use her services again if she is up for it! And I would totally recommend her to anyone-she is a great caretaker. Thanks so much Angelina!”

Morina was absolutely lovely to board with, she was very flexible and helpful at every step and my boy returned to me even happier and more spoiled than when he left. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who will treat their pet like family :)
Kathryn did an amazing job watching my dog! She was a great communicator throughout the entire process and was very attentive to the needs of my pet. I will definitely be going with her for dog sitting in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

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.
95% of sitters in Shelby 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 Shelby home-away-from-home, 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 Shelby.
<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 Shelby 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.

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 .
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.
