“Holly was wonderful with our dogs. We had never boarded our dogs before and she helped us to feel comfortable doing so. Communication and care for our fur babies was wonderful. Thank you so much Holly!”
“Julie was great with my pooch. I appreciated how they introduced my dog to the other dogs and cat and had a gentle demeanor towards the pets. I will definitely book with Julie again.”
“MICHELLE IS AMAZING!! She has house sat, done drop ins and has boarded our dog many times. She is so thoughtful and compassionate towards dogs. She has a huge fenced in yard that my dog loves. Michelle sends pictures and a daily review of activities and opinions of how my dog or her dog are viewing the visit. I laugh and look forward to reading the fun and lively updates. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for any dog sitting needs!”
“Highly recommend! Our two dogs had a wonderful overnight stay. We received updates and photos throughout their visit, which made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in great hands. The care and attention they received were outstanding, and they came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely book again!”
“They were great! Loved getting picture updates and seeing my 3 dogs happy and playing with their 2. Great communication and flexibility with drop off and pick ups. I can tell my dogs were well taken care of and loved!”
“Taylor and family are always such a blessing for us! I know I can always leave our fur baby with them and feel 100% confident that she is in great hands! Taylor provides continuous updates and pictures throughout our pet’s stay giving us constant peace of mind :)”
“Rocky's home away from home was another great stay! Rocky is so relaxed with no anxiety issues. Diane you're the best and this Momma doesn't have to worry when he's in your care. Diane is my dog whisper and can follow directions. We're so happy to have found you. Until next time Auntie Diane.”
“He’s is my “Go-To”! She is so attentive to my baby and I love that she sends updates every day along with pictures throughout the day. I can tell by what she writes to me how much she loves having my baby there with her. Her entire family is so welcoming, they immediately make you feel like family. This is my second time with Jes and I plan many more visits with her.”
“This was the second time Tracey has watched our Bella and I was not disappointed once again. She sent daily updates with pictures which I really appreciated. I feel totally comfortable leaving my baby with her and am confident that she's in good hands! Tracey is a dog trainer, is very knowledgeable and even helped me with a trick I'd been trying to teach Bella! It's very obvious how much she cares for her own dogs but also my dog when she's in her care!! Thank you Tracey!”
About: Hello! I am a licensed veterinary technician and have been for 20 years with a primary focus in surgery and dentistry and management. I love animals and have worked my entire adult life with them in some capacity. I have a 15 year old female spayed Chihuahua, 10 year old male neutered Portuguese Water Dog, and 2 cats, all indoor. I do not have the time or room to have more animals of my own which is why I would love care for your fur babies as my own when you are unable. This will allow me to enjoy more animals, of all breeds/sizes, but on a part-time basis...which is more accommodating to my lifestyle. Because of my veterinary experience and knowledge basis; you will not only be getting an amazing pet sitter, but one who can recognize a problem and address it appropriately if needed. I have the ability to bring your fur baby to a near by vet clinic if needed. I am currently working from home, so I have the ability to provide 24/7 care to your fur baby. I'm currently working remote, so I am available to provide pet care 24/7. I would rather late morning visits, drop offs....but can accommodate early morning with notice. I have a yard with an invisible fence and extra collars for dogs that use them. Otherwise I have a tie out in my yard for potty breaks. I have a litter robot for our cat friends. However, I keep pets inside most of the time for safety and comfort.
“We are a faithful, loyal returning customer/family with Desirae. She’s been our furbaby’s sitter since he was 3 months (he’s a year & a half now) until we relocated to Austin 6 months ago. We took a mini road trip to Houston this weekend and of course booked with none other than Desirae. She really is amazing as all her reviews say! We had to book with sitter’s in Austin twice so far and boy was it hard trying to find someone besides Desirae. If you’re contemplating to book, this is your sign to stop looking. We love you Desirae!”
“Both of my pups had a great time with Breita and family as usual! Seeing how much fun they have always makes me feel better about leaving them behind when I have to travel out of town.”
About: I have had animals in my home for my entire life. And I do truly enjoy spending time with all animals, They keep me active. I'm currently not working which leaves me lots of time to walk, play & nap with my dog and other dogs during the day time. I have a nice grassy with cement area fenced in yard with ample shade & a friendly dog to play with & to keep other dogs company.
“Christine was fabulous with our dog, Tillie! Tillie can sometimes be a little nervous and it was easy to see in the many pictures that Christine sent that Tillie warmed up to her very quickly! She gave her a lot of personal attention and walks. When we picked her up, it was clear Tillie had bonded with Christine during her 5 day stay with her. We feel very lucky to have found her!”
“Ellen watched my two (older) dogs for a long weekend, one of which can be grumpy and slightly difficult with other dogs. Ellen was super patient and understanding with him. She gave me frequent updates and he ended up doing really well at her house. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“I’ve left Teddy with Samantha many times now, she is super helpful and is always willing to watch my pup when I have last minute requests. Teddy is always super happy and played-out after staying with Samantha and Tua and I can’t wait to use her again!”
About: I started on Rover a few years back, and have met so many amazing animals and families along the way! I love animals and giving them the attention they deserve, especially when their family is out of town and they don’t know what’s going on! I love making sure they don’t feel lonely throughout the day. I’m very familiar with separation anxiety and making them feel extra loved! I have experience with small dogs to dogs bigger than me. I have watched senior dogs with lots of limitations, puppies with so much energy they don’t know what to do with it, and special needs dogs that has additional requirements. I have watched 1 dog to 5 dogs at a time. I have also stayed and taken care of reptiles, chickens, etc. I live in Fenton and work full-time in Flint. I do work full time from 8a-4:30p. And if it permits, will stop during my lunch break to visit as well! I am available evenings and weekends. I have been utilizing my younger sister to help work schedules out as well. She’s been really awesome with the animals and is more available for frequent visits during the day. I would bring her with me for the meet and greet to ensure you your animals are well taken care of while you’re gone 😊 anything I cannot cover, she usually does! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for running around and playing! I love being outside, especially if it’s nice, so walks or visits to the dog park will be routine for us! I do work full time, 8am-4:30pm. I am available to stop during my lunch hour for potty breaks, walks, etc. I am most available after work and on the weekends! I know the importance of making sure your animal is getting the love they’re used to when you’re home. I always want to make them feel extra loved and special, especially when they’re in an environment they might be uncomfortable in because it’s a new space (if boarding at my house) or you’re not home. Stimulation is very important to I always make sure to pay them more attention than they probably even need! And treats and important too, if their diet allows :)

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Vernon 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 Vernon 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 Vernon.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vernon. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Vernon 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
