“Jenna did a wonderful job taking care of my Standard Poodle. After our meet and greet where I met Jenna, her husband and 2 dogs I felt they were an attentive and dog loving and dog centered family. I really appreciated their fenced yard and their flexibility and understanding that my dog was not perfectly trained, she still jumps and does not go for walks calmly. It was clear that Jenna's family was going to provide the same loving attention and lots of activity (playing with their dogs) my dog receives at home. Jenna was responsive when we communicated, she would answer within a few minutes. She sent pictures and updates. I could not have asked for a better sitter for my dog and I will definitely use them again in the future. My dog was happy and well cared for by Jenna!”
“We had another great experience with Alia, Ian and family. They took amazing care of my dog Cleo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such a loving, safe environment. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but they made it so much easier. I’m so grateful and will continue using them in the future!”
“Second time looking after my dog Remington for a weekend and it was a great experience. Consistent updates and pictures were greatly appreciated. Will be my first choice for future needs.”
“Daniella and her family were so kind to our older dog, Josh. We had a family wedding out of the country and they took such great care of him. We loved getting the updates every day and meeting this special family! I’d recommend Daniella to anyone needing dog care.”
“We contacted Aaron the day before a holiday weekend and he responded immediately and made it possible for our two Bernese Mt. Dogs to stay with him. He and his wife work as a team, caring responsibly for the dogs under their charge. The accommodations are terrific, a roomy house and sizable fenced-in yard. Aaron sent photos and videos which showed our girls, who are shy and a bit nervous, content and having a good time. We were able to relax and enjoy our nephew’s wedding without “puppy worry”. Would not hesitate to board our four-leggeds with Aaron and Misty again!”
“Jen was amazing!! I was super comfortable with leaving Charlie in her care. She sent pics and updates which is so comforting when you have to leave your fur baby in the care of someone else. I would 100% book her again!”
“Maureen is amazing! She took care of our dog, Chutney, for almost three weeks in her home and she treated him just like her own. She sent regular updates and photos and make sure to take him for daily walks. Chutney is nervous around new people, in but he definitely took to Maureen immediately. She is a natural with taking care of dogs! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Shelly took great care of the pups! I have one old girl and one young, energetic boy and handled them both like a pro. Got daily pics of them too! Will definitely use again :)”
“Debbie and her husband took great care of Phoebe and she enjoyed playing with their dogs! I got daily picture updates which made it easier being away from her for a week knowing she was having fun and being taken care of so well. Thank you!!”
About: Hi, im Winnie! I’m so excited to meet your furry family members. I’ve been a devoted dog and cat lover my entire life and truly believe our pets deserve all the love, kindness, patience, and respect we can give them. I’ve personally cared for my own dogs from the time they were puppies through adulthood, and I’ve also pet sat for friends and clients, treating every pet like they’re one of my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing outside, cuddles on the couch, or sticking to their usual routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care at home. I have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run and play, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m also a Registered Occupational Therapist and a proud University of Michigan graduate—Go Blue! My healthcare background has taught me to be dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to each individual’s unique needs. I can’t wait to get to know you and your pet, and I’ll care for them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work part-time, with Fri-Sun weekends, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care, whether that’s morning walks, midday potty breaks, playtime, or overnight stays. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so daily walks and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals has always been a rewarding part of my life, and I love making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. Your pet will be staying in a safe, loving, and spacious home with plenty of room to relax and play. Our home has wood floors throughout and a private room available if your pet would ever need a quiet space to decompress or feel more comfortable. Outside, we have a fully fenced 1-acre yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and play. We also live in a quiet, safe, and walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures. Your pet will be welcomed by a home full of caring adults who genuinely love animals.
“Michele was a warm, welcoming host to our doodle. She sent daily updates with the cutest photos and made sure he got lots of outside time. We appreciate her attention to detail, would definitely rebook!”
About: I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter who started my own dog-walking business and has been caring for pets since age 10. I have over 2 years of consistent dog-walking experience, have dog-sat while owners were away,and have cared for guinea pigs, including their daily needs and medications. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection! 💕🐶😊 I’m currently a college student at Michigan State University, so my availability during the school semester is limited. However, Im available on certain weekends, college breaks, holidays, and other scheduled time off to provide loving and reliable pet care while you’re away! My home is a welcoming, open environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home! I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for one-on-one attention and care! I have a non-fenced yard, so pets will always be kept on a leash during potty breaks and outdoor playtime to ensure their safety. Pets are welcome both upstairs and downstairs, and they are allowed on the furniture and in my bedroom to relax and feel at home!
“My husband and I just got a new puppy, we had to go out of the state for the weekend, so we decided to use Rover app to book for a sitter that could take good care of our puppy. Dana and her husband did an amazing job at taking care of our dog, she went out of her way to make him feel good. Our doggy was having some trouble getting used to his new environment and he wasn’t eating, we left worried but Dana did such a good job that for the next morning our puppy was feeling a lot more comfortable with the environment. I definitely recommend her. She will take good care of your dog.”
“Amie and her family were wonderful! They made our dog Bentley feel like part of the family. He came home perky after his vacation with Amie. I loved all the pictures we received. He was very happy with them. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Teddy had such a great time with Tara, her family, and her pups! He made friends and had a blast with them. She sent me pictures and a video while we were away which we appreciated so much. Tara is so amazing with animals and I would totally have her watch Teddy again! Thank you so much Tara.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and love playing with them and walking them. I always make sure they have enough food, water, and are let outside enough. I also make sure that they are behaving well and praise them when they are being good. I am looking to either help by walking your dog or by sitting, whatever service is needed. I have a Golden Retriever but I won’t have him around your dog unless you are comfortable with that. I am a full time software developer, so this will be just a side gig but I will put full effort into make sure your dog receives the best attention and care. If you need to receive updates about dog, I will make sure to keep you updated as well.
“JoAnn was amazing! We recently adopted a dog and were a little nervous about leaving her in a new place for the first time. We immediately felt so comfortable with JoAnn during our meet and greet visit and our pup had so much fun during her stay. JoAnn took great care of her and sent us many photos and videos every day. She went above and beyond. We will absolutely bring our dog back when we need a sitter and would highly recommend JoAnn.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walled Lake
Melonie was wonderful! She was very friendly, understanding, and accommodating with our last-minute request. She took great care of Simba, kept us updated, and even shared videos while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend Melonie!
Brenda and her husband Adam were amazing with our pups! My Greater Swiss Mountain Dog can intimidate some people because of his 150 lb size, but they didn’t even bat an eye. And my Havanese became her bff for the week. Brenda works from home and I knew that would be good since they would need extra attention while we were gone. She went out of her way to make them comfortable and help the feel safe. Pictures showed them lounging around just like they were at home. I will definitely book with Brenda again next time!

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.
95% of sitters in Walled Lake 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 Walled Lake 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 Walled Lake.
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 Walled Lake. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Walled Lake 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.
