“We've taken our dog Lucy to Jerri a few times now, and she is just wonderful! A true dog lover. She is a great communicator and sends pictures and updates through out the day. She goes above and beyond what we could hope, and we know our pug is super happy when she is there! You can trust your furry baby with Jerri. She's great!”

About: I've had dogs in my house since I was born & have taken care of my own dog(s) for 20 years. I've done end of life care with all of my pets & have done basic training of puppies. I have 8 acres of property which is great for dogs to run and play! I'm currently a stay at home mom of 3 kids, but this year my youngest started school so I am now home every day alone & would love to have a doggie to keep me company. I have an 8 acre yard with a lot of room for dogs to run. I also have a pond that they could swim in if allowed. I currently don't have a dog, but have a caged in area in the yard as well that was used for our old Great Dane that I could use for outside time if your dog tends to wander.

About: I’ve taken care of a senior cat who had special littler box, medicine, and feeding needs. My family has also relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their small dogs for over 5 years! I love being an auntie to a red toy poodle! I currently work full time from home, allowing care at most times throughout the day! I also am commonly at home during week nights, and enjoy many at home hobbies including playing the piano, reading, knitting, and crocheting, which all make me a homebody! I have a large back yard and live in a neighborhood that is very friendly for dog walking! My home is all vinyl flooring and one level.

About: Hello! I’m 38 years old. My husband and I have 3 kids and 1 dog ! I am currently a stay at home mom so your fur-baby will get all the attention and love they need. I’ve grown up with and have always had larger dogs. We’ll go for walks & snuggle up on the couch. We will go out back in the yard and play fetch, and we can always sit out back and watch the deer come in. When house sitting I can be available as much as needed. We would love to have your fur-baby stay for a night or more. We can’t wait to meet your doggies Our backyard is not fenced in I’m a stay at home mom of 3 boys and 1 dog. We are a sports family but during the week while the boys are in school we are always around. We go on walks almost daily. And play lots of fetch out back or we’ll sit out there and watch the deer come in We do not have a fenced in yard but we can take them out on a leash if need be. We love our snuggles and our big Charlie girl loves to sleep with us. We go on walks, play fetch out back. We have a kennel if your pup feels more comfortable.

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.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Standish commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.

To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
