“First time using Rover. Mina sent regular photos to let us know how our dog was doing while we were away which was super helpful. Thanks so much for taking good care of her!”
“Oscar made sure that my fur baby was well taken care of, I felt I had nothing to worry about! I received some pictures throughout the stay and overall, my pup seemed very calm coming home! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Darcy and Dan took wonderful care of my pup! They asked very thoughtful questions during the meet and greet and are clearly huge dog lovers. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in their care. Darcy and Dan provided updates, photos, and a video throughout the stay. I already booked my dog's next stay.”
“This is the third time that Laura and Manuel have watched our two pups and they are beyond amazing. We knew that the dogs were having the best time and were very well taken care of. They sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip and are always responsive.”
“Janelle is wonderful! This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and she welcomed Sierra, quirks and all. She sent updates with pictures and/or videos daily so we could see how Sierra was doing. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Renee took very good care of Bean for eleven days while my husband and I took a cruise. It was so nice to know Bean had company and was in good hands while we were away. This was my first experience with boarding a cat and the Rover app was a great help. I searched offers in my area, read Renee’s profile and we exchanged information. Bean enjoyed the meet and greet and that sealed the deal. Renee sent pictures and kept us informed. I highly recommend her service.”
“rachel truly saved us when we had an unexpected family emergency! we dropped our dog off same day and she was so accommodating when we needed to add an extra day. we were able to be fully present and focus knowing that our fur baby was in excellent hands!”
“Katie is amazing! Zews loves coming to visit with her when he cannot be with us. Katie is always quick to respond and she sends photos of Zews when I am missing him. I know he is getting lots of hugs and cuddle time when he is with her. Thanks again Katie!”
“Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)”
“Kayden did a terrific job with my 18 week old puppy. I'd been having significant behavioral problems with the pup and Kayden did very well with her and offered me guidance to help get the problems under control at home. Kayden was very responsive to my questions while I was out of town and sent photos as well. Kayden was extremely well organized in managing my dog's meet 'n greet and all the elements of her six day stay. I'd been worried about leaving a very young, not fully house-broken dog but she clearly had a great time. I'm not sure she wanted to return home! Kayden went above and beyond all my expectations.”
“Tiffany was fantastic! She send me at least one picture every day and she answered my questions fast. My Coco looked happy during her whole stayed. 100% would recommend.”
“Maria was wonderful with our puppy. This was the longest we had to leave him, and it was nice to know he was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and pictures. And he had the best time!”
“Moxie had an amazing time with Arling and his wife. Since Moxie is a puppy, they kept her on her schedule and followed the same routine that we have established. All the personal attention was great! The pictures of the walks they took warmed our hearts! We will most definitely be using them again.”
“Ariana is a perfect dog sitter. Her residence is fenced in and her dog Yogi 🐾 🐕🦺 is so friendly. My Pfeifer had a blast and was worn out from all the play time. She slept all the way home and most of the remaining day. Will use Ariana again in a heartbeat.”
“Millie is so well cared for, which puts our minds at ease while we travel! We received videos and photos of her playing and we get her back with a nice soft coat as she gets brushed. This was Millie’s 2nd stay and we will return again!!”
“This was our first time using a service like this. I felt so comfortable leaving our dog with Erin and her husband. I appreciated updates and photos showing how much fun he was having. You can tell they both are great dog owners and true dog lovers. I can tell our dog was loved and cared for while we were away. Thank you so much!”
“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”

“We have used Greyson’s drop-in visits and overnight stays for both our two cats and two dogs. Greyson always provides a detailed report and will ensure she meets your expectations.”

“Alexis was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend booking with her! She is super attentive to your fur babies & treats them as her own! She took my Leo on a walk & sent me the best check-in pictures! She did an 11/10 job & i truly suggest you book with her in the future! Thank you so much Alexis for being super kind, and helpful🫶”
“Jaime did a great job caring for my cat. Responses from Jaime were timely, lots of photos and updates! Everything was clean and well managed while I was gone. I will definitely book him again.”
“They were very well cared for. Updates were provided twice a day, they offered more if we needed it. All questions I had up to and during the process were answered quickly. Our very anxious cats came home and immediately began being themselves and acting right as rain.”
“Ashley was great. She came by a few times while I was on an extended vacation. When I got home everything was as though I had never left. My cat was still had food, water, and the litter was clean. Ashley, was very easy to work with and book. She sent photos and updates with each visit. I look forward to working with Ashley again and I can recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
About: I have years of personal experience with numerous breeds of dogs that I have owned. Your fur family member will be in great hands! I also have sat many breeds large and same and have many references. My home is a nice quiet place for senior dogs and dogs with anxiety. I don't have any of my own personal pets and there aren't any small children. I only dog sit for one family at a time so your pet can get his or her own individual care. I also allow pets on furniture and in my bed at night. Each pet gets walked daily along with alot of play time to get rid of all the pent up energy. Lots of love and cuddles also!
About: I have worked in the vet field for 8 years and am a licensed technician in the States of Ohio and Michigan. I am happy to help with medicating animals who have been prescribed meds by their primary vet. I work in an ER setting currently but was in GP for years prior and have undergone certification through Fear Free. I am also CPR RECOVER certified.
“Jaime was everything her reviews say she is. Responsible, considerate, caring, and kept the house perfect. She sent photos and/or videos daily. I was able to go on vacation, and not worry about my animals. I will absolutely have her house/pet sit again. Very happy with how the whole process worked, and my animals were very comfortable with her. Even my shy one, showed herself. Thank you Jaime!”
About: Recently, my pets have passed do to old age, so I have a lot of free time to give animals all the attention they need. I've been pet sitting dogs, cats, birds, and chickens for the past 5 years. I am currently attending EMU, starting law school in the fall. I currently have one small dog. In past jobs, like child care I had to also walk, feed, and play with cats or dogs and now I want to go into it full time. I work full time at a law firm near downtown Ann Arbor. I have flexibility to do mid-day stops for animals if needed. My weekends I am fully available. I do have one small dog of my own. I prefer to do drop in home visits. If you need boarding I would need a doggie meet and greet for the pups.
About: I have been taking care of and loving cats since I was 10 when my family got our cat Stella. After that, I started volunteering at a shelter helping socialize the cats as well as learning about medication administration and medical issues that it is common for kitties to struggle with. In addition to that, I have been entrusted with family, friend’s and neighbor’s cats over the years many of which had severe medical issues or behavioral issues. Either way, I’ve loved them all! And I look forward to meeting your fur baby :)
“Isabella was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures of our kitties and even managed to coax our very shy girl into playing with her a little. Her summaries were friendly and thorough - all in all, a great experience!”

“Katie was very accommodating and took our three dogs in for the night in a very short notice. She took care of the dogs very well and kept us informed on how they were doing. Will use her again if we are back in town.”
“Arling and Mary took great care of my 8-month-old Pomeranian pup. He was comfortable and content with them and they took him on multiple walks and provided great care! Sent updates and took photos. Would use them again in the future and recommend.”
“Katie was great with our small old dog! She sent several pictures and updates and was clearly very gentle and caring and attentive. We'll definitely be using her again!”
“Novah had a great day with Rachel and Michael and Ember! Novah loved running in their very large fenced in yard. Rachel went out of her way to make sure everything went smoothly. And Michael spent a long time with Novah outside playing with her and working on training activities. I highly recommend Rachel if you want a fun and safe place for your dog for day care! Thank you Rachel and Michael! Novah is excited to see you all again soon!”
About: I have had dogs since I was little, helped my parents walk, feed, bathe, clean up after them. I had my own dog for 12 years. My children also love dogs and love to help with them. I work evenings but while I'm at work my husband is home with our children so someone is always home to take care of your dog. We have a little yard but can offer unlimited potty breaks, clean environment, an area for naps and bedtime. Lots of love from my children to keep them entertained!
“Maria was so great. Got many updates. Even a nice quick one after i left because Molly was a little timid to have me leave, she can be shy at first. I was sad to leave her on her first doggie daycare. But Marie made everything great, she shared multiple pictures that she warmed up and went on walkies and she seemed to have a great time. I hope to make this a weekly occasion! It was nice to be stress free at work.”
“Oscar and Shannon were great! Maintained good walking habits for my pup and sent me updates during the day. Super responsive and easy to coordinate with. Will definitely be coming back to them.”
“Mina did an excellent job taking care of our 4 year old golden retriever, Jerry! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate a last second request, she took perfect care of Jerry, and sent lots of photos and videos. 5 star sitter!!”
“Andrew is a kind heart and knows how to look after dogs. My Carly has enjoyed her stay with him immensely playing with her buddy, Andrew‘s dog Dante I’m older and it’s hard to give my dog the exercise and stimulation that she needs. I know she’s in great hands with Andrew.”
“Marie and Mike were great with GoGo. She was worn out last night which is not easy to do with her. They made it easy for us to relax and not worry about her for an intense family day. Would recommend their services to everyone if we lived here. Left with a dog toy and a thank you note, so thoughtful.”

About: Hi there! We accept small to medium-sized dogs (20 pounds max or less) and typically care for no more than 4 dogs at a time. Under our careful supervision, your pup can interact and play freely, enjoying both the house and our spacious, clean, secure and fenced-in backyard. They are not confined to kennels or cages, and can sleep wherever they feel comfortable, whether in the open or in their own crate. We have many nooks and crannies for the pups to relax in and many soft, clean blankets and pillows. They will have ample time outdoors for fresh air, exercise and fun (weather permitting), and the rest of course spent indoors, having fun, resting, playing games (we have many many puzzles and snuffle mats) and occasionally having a yummy, owner approved treat (we don't want upset tummies). They are regularly let out for potty breaks and fresh air every 1 to 2 hours, and never left unattended. WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW: We understand each dog has their own personality, likes, dislikes, and temperament. ****A meet-n-greet is required prior to the start of any service.**** -Unless arranged by special request during the week, they are usually on Saturdays and Sundays and by appointment. -Please allow enough time prior to your reservation to arrange for the meet-n-greet. LAST MINUTE REQUESTS: We will do our best to accommodate those in tight spots, but generally we only reserve this option for established clients only. VACCINATIONS: Please ensure your pup is up-to-date with vaccinations before boarding to protect them and our little ones from illnesses. PHOTOS: We know how important peace of mind is, so we send consistent, informative photos/updates/videos of your little one so that you know what they are up to and so that you can rest assured that they are doing well! LOCATION: We are located right outside of Ann Arbor - perfect spot near highways and shops! MEDICATION: Yes, we do provide, however, we do not provide service to pets that are sick/ill/recovering/ or need medical attention during their stay. We do provide service to pets that are in good health but require maintenance medications, with vets' approval. FIRST AID/CPR: As of November 2024, we are actively working on finding a reputable organization to refresh our human and pet first aid and CPR certification! ABOUT OUR LITTLE ONES: Archie and Roxy are our two adorable, little terriers who love to have fun - they would be co-hosting with me. My husband works from home, so there is generally always someone home. Either my husband, who works from home, or I will be on hand to supervise the dogs at all times. Ensuring your dogs' safety is my highest priority. A LITTLE ABOUT US: My husband and I are super responsible, incredibly loving dog parents. I was raised with dogs, and other animals, as was my husband (who grew up on a farm here in Michigan). Combined, we have closer to 20 plus years of experience in taking care of our own furbabies, those of our neighbors, and various other kinds of pets. We've been there, worried and stressed out over having to find someone trustworthy who will treat and love our little ones with the same level of care and concern that we do! Being super loving, very protective, and knowledgeable pet parents ourselves, we know full well how stressful it can be to rely on someone else. We are great communicators and continuously strive to educate ourselves and learn about the best new dog products, services, treats, etc. Please rest assured that we will do our best to answer your questions and concerns. It's always a joy to connect with fellow pet parents who are just as devoted and loving to their family members as we are to ours! My schedule tends to be flexible. My husband works from home as well- it’s a joy to have little ones running around! There is always someone at home with a watchful eye - your pup will never be left alone. The importance of temperament cannot be overstated; if there are particular household rules to increase the comfort of your furbaby, I will follow them to the letter. I would like to know if he/she has any medical issues, special needs, etc. A veterinarian's contact information and instructions would be required if medication is needed - this of course also applies if they have special dietary needs, allergies, etc.
“Carole was absolutely fantastic! She has a large yard with lots of space and places to explore. I can tell she really enjoys animals and caring for pets. While this was just for a few hours, I'd definitely feel comfortable leaving my dog for longer stays. I felt very at ease leaving my dog in her care. Will definitely rebook if I'm in her area again. 5stars!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, horses, and all sorts of pets for most of my life. From Great Danes to Shih Tzus I love all the puppies! I have a miniature bernedoodle and a Shih Tzu currently that I raised from puppies and they are very well behaved. I have watched an older dog who needed liquid IVs and pills and everything went well with him. I currently have three dogs at home. I work part time and can schedule work every week based around what I am doing, so I am pretty much always available as long as it’s about a week in advance. I can be at home as much as needed! I have three friendly dogs (two don’t like to play much but one loves to play) at home and no cats in the house. We do potty breaks every couple of hours which consists of just letting the dogs out in the yard which is not fenced in. Whenever I watch dogs at the house, I am always certain to take the dogs out on leash. If the puppers aren’t the best on leash that’s alright as well, I just use a harness or whatever the owners provide.
“Lori has been fantastic for our family when we need help for our 50lb Aussie. She is always excited when we arrive & tired when we get her back (GREAT SIGNS). Lori has great yard space, is incredibly flexible & communicative, and has puppy friends for our own pup to play with. Could not recommend anyone more, Lori is GREAT.”

About: I have lived with and raised dogs for most of my life. I will make sure your furry child receives the best care and attention. I am currently a college student with mostly online classes.

I will always treat your pet with the same consideration.
About: We provide boarding for your cat or dog in a family-based environment. We try to keep a structured and caring home environment for pets while their owners are away. Our goal is to keep the experience for you and your pet as safe and stress free as possible. Additionally, I have First Aid and CPR Certification for cats and dogs. I am also Fear Free Certified. Being Fear Free Certified means I was trained to look at subtle signs of stress in dogs and cats before they escalate. As well as techniques to make interactions with dogs and cats less stressful. My husband works from home, and I'm also at home with my children. During the school year I do drop off and pick up for the kids. My husband is home at this time. Therefore, dogs are generally always supervised, although there may be brief periods of time we are all out of the home. We have an area designated for the dogs in our home. This helps reduce the risk of escaping and helps keep them more safe. We also have a fenced in backyard. However, we always supervise interactions in the backyard between dogs or when the dogs are alone.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I love taking care of them! I have experience with walking them, feeding them, and keeping them company :) I plan to work part-time this summer, but I don’t have anything set in stone yet. Other than that, I don’t have many conflicts. I will probably be free most days and evenings of the week. You can trust me to care for your pet in almost any way they need. I am thorough and will always make sure they are healthy and happy in my care.
“Nicole is extremely dependable and trustworthy. She regularly walks my two boys for me during the week, and I always come home to them happy and tired after their walks with her. It's a huge stress relief to have someone so caring taking care of my dogs while I'm away. Not only does she take them for walks, but she makes sure their water is filled and gives them lots of love before she leaves (with treats and ball time). Nicole also messages me with any concerns about my dogs, including checking in to make sure the length of the walk isn't too much for my older dog. We are lucky to have Nicole as such a great dog walker and you won't regret picking her to take care of your furry family. :)”
About: Hello, my name is Jaime. I’ve been a lifelong dog and cat owner looking to care for your pets in your home. I am self-employed, and I’ve been a dog owner for the last 30 years. I currently do not have any pets of my own in my home. Looking forward to meeting you and helping with your pets! I can work with most schedules and I am available any day of the week for short or extended bookings. I have experience with all ages from pups/kittens to elderly dogs and cats. I have experience with administering medications and supplements, as well as assisting with pets with mobility challenges. I primarily watch your fur babies at your home so they can be in their own comfortable environment. Could discuss boarding at my place as an option if preferred.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life practically but I have been doing it as a job since I was 16 years old. When I was 16 years old and could drive I started doing at home dog care in my hometown for people who needed dogs sitters when they went of out town. I have always grown up with a dog in the house. From the time I was 5 to age 21 my family and I had 6 male dogs and a litter of 6 puppies over that span of 16 years. I now have my own dog which is a male golden retriever. I have a lot of experience with training puppies. I have done a lot of hunting with dogs over the years so that has been some of my favorite training to do. I have cared for dogs of all ages, qualities, breeds, and sizes. I love being around dogs period! Pet care fits into my schedule very well! I work from home and travel so when I am working from home I am able to do pet care many times throughout the day and even host pets over night when I am not out of town for work travel. I care for pets in my home and in client's homes to the highest level of care possible. I put the dog first in every matter possible and I really enjoy doing activities or attention to dogs that they really enjoy. I like to say I can think like a dog and I can read their mind which helps me understand what makes them happy and how they want to be cared for. I always do what's best for the dogs safety and health and follow all pet owner instructions given about their dog.

“Oscar made sure that my fur baby was well taken care of, I felt I had nothing to worry about! I received some pictures throughout the stay and overall, my pup seemed very calm coming home! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Christopher has become my "go to" sitter for Sadie. She can be cautious when meeting new people but has gotten more comfortable with every visit. I am grateful she has found a second home where she can be happy when I am away. Christopher and Braden are great hosts, and Frank (their dog) is good company.”
“Darcy and Dan took wonderful care of my pup! They asked very thoughtful questions during the meet and greet and are clearly huge dog lovers. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in their care. Darcy and Dan provided updates, photos, and a video throughout the stay. I already booked my dog's next stay.”
“This is the third time that Laura and Manuel have watched our two pups and they are beyond amazing. We knew that the dogs were having the best time and were very well taken care of. They sent us pictures and updates throughout our trip and are always responsive.”
“Janelle is wonderful! This was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and she welcomed Sierra, quirks and all. She sent updates with pictures and/or videos daily so we could see how Sierra was doing. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“rachel truly saved us when we had an unexpected family emergency! we dropped our dog off same day and she was so accommodating when we needed to add an extra day. we were able to be fully present and focus knowing that our fur baby was in excellent hands!”
“Katie is amazing! Zews loves coming to visit with her when he cannot be with us. Katie is always quick to respond and she sends photos of Zews when I am missing him. I know he is getting lots of hugs and cuddle time when he is with her. Thanks again Katie!”
“Wonderful overnight stay with Shashank and his pup. He is so great at dog training and anticipating our dog’s emotions and needs. We were fully happy and anxiety-free leaving our dog in Shashank’s trusted hands. One of the BEST rover homes (and we have tried a dozen!)”
“Kayden did a terrific job with my 18 week old puppy. I'd been having significant behavioral problems with the pup and Kayden did very well with her and offered me guidance to help get the problems under control at home. Kayden was very responsive to my questions while I was out of town and sent photos as well. Kayden was extremely well organized in managing my dog's meet 'n greet and all the elements of her six day stay. I'd been worried about leaving a very young, not fully house-broken dog but she clearly had a great time. I'm not sure she wanted to return home! Kayden went above and beyond all my expectations.”
“Maria was wonderful with our puppy. This was the longest we had to leave him, and it was nice to know he was in good hands. I really appreciated the updates and pictures. And he had the best time!”
“Catherine has sat my dogs twice, each time for about a week. When we brought them back, they were super excited to see her! Catherine kept the dogs entertained with frequent walks to the park next door and plenty of play time. She paid careful attention to our instructions to reinforce our training. Catherine handled a kerfuffle between our dogs wonderfully, separating them as soon as it happened and attending to their needs right away. She communicated clearly throughout. I highly recommend her, especially if your dog can use some additional socialization!”
“Ariana is a perfect dog sitter. Her residence is fenced in and her dog Yogi 🐾 🐕🦺 is so friendly. My Pfeifer had a blast and was worn out from all the play time. She slept all the way home and most of the remaining day. Will use Ariana again in a heartbeat.”
“We certainly would highly recommend Coddy and Byron! They are very flexible and accommodating. Their communication is excellent and most importantly, our pups adore them! Look no further for your boarding needs.”
“So kind and accommodating! Piper had a great time with Deb and Malcomb! Thank you for taking care of piper while we traveled to a family reunion out of state. Knowing that piper was in a home environment with dog lovers made us feel at ease. Deb was very good at sharing pictures and keeping us updated daily on our Miss Piper. A+ experience. Will highly recommend and will use in future. This was our very first Rover.com experience and it was good! Thank you!!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. She is a very kind and responsible person and I felt that I can trust her right when I met her. She updated us with pictures and messages every day, which was great. Absolutely will go back to her in the future!”
“Jayden and his wife Lisa are amazing dog sitters. I left my dog Buddy with them over two weeks while flying outside of the country. They we're very flexible and attentive to all of my requests, and promptly communicated any changes with him while in their care. Buddy and their dog Redford became fast friends and Buddy quite clearly loved spending time with their kids, making a bed out of their trampoline. It was so nice to get updates and see just how much fun they had with him. Buddy says hi and thanks again!”
“We have a very needy senior dog and Heather did a great job with him. He can be high maintenance but she was very kind and patient and sent updates and pictures and said he was welcome back. We were very happy to have found her.”
“Lizzy, Brain, and Pepper welcomed our two pups into their home with genuine care. They willingly arranged a meet-and-greet ahead for our comfort. During their stay we received regular updates of the attention and fun they shared. We will be rebooking.”
