“Anthony is the best! Our dog loves to stay with him for daycare and boarding. Anthony provides a great environment, and has an amazing passion for dogs. We have now been taking our dog to Anthony for nearly one year. You can be confident your dog is in great hands, and will come home happy and tired :)”
About: What sets me apart is that I have real hands-on experience with animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve owned both big and small dog breeds, cared for puppies, and also have experience with senior dogs. Right now I currently own two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve also owned cats, ferrets, and other kinds of animals, which has helped me become very patient, attentive, and adaptable to each pet’s unique needs. I truly love animals and care deeply about their well-being, so I always do my best to treat every pet like they are my own. I currently work from home half of the week so I’m available Friday Saturday Sunday Monday all day and Tuesday-Thursday I have less time personally but both my mom and sister work from home so they would still be taken care of by then I have two of my own dogs one is a senior the other one just turned 1! We love animals in this house! And your fur babies would be looked after with the upmost care! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for whether they are in my home or in a client’s home. In my home, pets have space to play and get exercise since we have a fenced yard, and there is also a football field right in front of us where they can play too. We also take our dogs on walks often, so pets staying with me would get attention, activity, and lots of care. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. That includes feeding them on time, giving them fresh water, taking them on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I always try to make pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away.
“Nicholas has been very flexible and accommodating with our weekly day care schedule. Our 6 month old puppy, bruce, also loves hanging out with AJ and the other dogs! Highly Recommend!”
“Brenda was great. My dog is anxious with new people and she made him feel right at home without minutes. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day that made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands.”
About: I grew up around dogs all my life. I am confident with all dog sizes large and small. Dogs gravitate to me. I can sit or play or walk with any dog. Right now I have no dog of my own, but would love to share in the care of yours. Dogs are naturally migratory animals and I would love to spend time moving forward walking with your family member. I allow dogs to get to know me and win their trust with me at the dogs pace. The will have a calm confident caregiver to spend time with them.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have both experience with dogs ( all sizes) and cats as well. I am very active also, and I like to take dogs for a walk. I can play, hug, and give much love to your pet. In Florida, I used to be a volunteer at the local shelter and rescued organizations as well. I am also Bilingual English-Spanish. I work in the office and sometimes remote, finish by 5PM . When I am remote I have more flexibility -Mondays and Fridays usually. I have weekends for myself, but visit my grandchildren usually few hours on Saturday. I can walk dogs everyday in the afternoon and provide daily exercise. Just contact me and we can work it out. When I go to the clients home I will follow their directions. I will come happy to do what I love the most. In my home, I have an adult cat very friendly and lonely, but I can arrange the situation in case my service is needed to have the pet in my home. We can always study the situation and talk about it.
About: I have experience pet sitting for 20 years. I am familiar with dogs that require medication and can also administer insulin to non aggressive dogs if needed I work from home full time and can provide daily walks multiple times a day based on your dogs needs, frequent potty breaks, belly rubs, treats, and endless love to your dog. I own a home with a fenced in yard. I have three children between the ages of 8-13. I have yellow lab that’s approximately 2 years old and a 5 year old female Keeshond.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and bunnies since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to babysit, walk, and feed their pets. I work full time mostly from home. I own my own home, have a dog run, and designated potty area on my deck as well. I provide affectionate and interactive care. My home is pet friendly and my kiddos are very respectful and loving with our visiting furry friends! We have a cat and dog that do well with other animals.
“Sarah was wonderful with our puppy Oakley! She watched him for 3 weeks and he enjoyed every minute at her house playing with other pups. He couldn’t wait to go back the next day. If you’re looking for someone who will take amazing care of your pet you won’t be disappointed with Sarah. Thank you for taking such great care of our puppy!”
“This was the first time we had left our puppy with someone and we were a little apprehensive, however, Holly was awesome. After talking with her in person we were at ease about leaving Ruger with her. I will use Holly again and I highlighted recommend her.”
“We had a very good first sitting with Lynn and will definitely rebook in the future. Lynn clearly cared a lot about Blue’s well being, comfort, and safety. I knew without question that he was well cared for with her.”
“Ian and Alia,was great very patient with me being nervous about Rocko first day,definitely will be re-booking with them I highly recommend them thank you guys so much🤗🫶🏻”
About: I have my own doggy fur baby, and growing up, my family and I have fostered many animals from cats, bunnies, chickens, snakes, ducks, etc! My brother sometimes brings his black cat Tutu home from college (Tutu is a very spoiled and needy baby that also gets wet food everyday.) I live in a very animal-loving home! My younger sister is even an aspiring veterinarian (although she is only a teenager, lol.) I’m currently interviewing for medical school, so I have a lot of time within this next year to care for any fur baby until I matriculate! I’m at home most days, mainly doing work online, so adding on pet-sitting seemed appropriate. I have an unfenced yard, so if your fur baby is not an escape artist (mine is, and now he has an electric fence, quite unfortunate), there’s plenty of room to play! I have barriers in my home to separate floors in case there’s any tension between animals as well.
About: My family and I had our own dog for thirteen years. She passed away a couple years ago and we are looking forward to having some dog joy back in our house. We have a twelve year old daughter that loves dogs as well. We live in a subdivision with sidewalks and would love to take your pup on walks. Your pup will have free roam of the house and be allowed on furniture and our bed (if that is what you would like). Your pup will be the only pup at my house at the time of boarding. I only allow one dog at my house at a time. They will be my top priority. There is nothing I would love to do more than take care of your pup. I am a teacher and work school hours during the year (7-3:30) and am home on the breaks and summer vacation. I am available all week and weekend and am flexible. I will follow your directions. I have a large back yard. I will care for your dog based on the instructions you give me. Your dog is welcome on any surface of my home. Dog must be potty trained to go outside (not accepting pups that use pee pads) and dog must be non shedding (our daughter had allergies).
“Hosting a grad party we needed someone for our dog Darby to stay. She is almost 14 and has some anxiety in new situations. Darby appeared comfortable with Sam and even started to fetch a stick while she was there, so I know she enjoyed herself!”
“Shelly was so sweet to our dog Pookie. Our plans got cut short so she didn’t stay as long as we expected but I still got a pic from Shelly of Pookie all snuggled up on the couch”
About: I’m a dog and cat lover with a Golden Retriever and older cat of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I work from home part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide care when you need it. I’m happy to care for your pet in my home or yours—or simply stop by for some company, playtime, walks, and attention. Whether you need regular care, occasional help, or just want your pet to have a little extra love while you’re away, I’d love to help! I currently work part-time from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m available to provide care in my home or in your pet’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. I love spending time with animals and am happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and plenty of love while you’re away. I would prefer to take care of pets in their environment but I always treat them like family. I prefer complete honesty if a dog is fearful or tends to run or hide. Pets are like family and I take that responsibility very seriously.
About: Hi there! I grew up with a dog by my side, and my family had a beloved pup until last year. My kids have been begging for another, but for now, we’ve decided to channel our love for animals into caring for yours! My kids and I are here to provide plenty of attention, belly rubs, and care while you’re away. Think of us as the fun aunt and uncle (and cousins!) for your pets—plenty of playtime, snuggles, and treats (with your permission, of course!). We can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! Between my husband, who works from home full-time, and me being a stay-at-home mom, there’s always someone here to care for your pet. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, snuggles, or just having company throughout the day, your furry friend will never be alone for long. Our flexible schedules allow us to provide consistent care, making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. We have a spacious, fenced-in backyard, perfect for playtime and fresh air. Our neighborhood is also great for walks, offering plenty of safe and scenic routes. If your pet is crate-trained, I’m happy to accommodate that, but we also have the flexibility to let them roam freely in our home. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so whether they’re staying with us or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow your routines and rules to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walled Lake
Jomari took care of Cocoa for the day while my partner and I went to the Renaissance Festival. I could immediately tell that she was a pet person because Cocoa ran right to her and was excited to go inside. She was very responsive, and sent us cute pictures of Cocoa throughout the day. Cocoa came home happy and tired after a day of walks, playtime, and looking out her favorite window. I will absolutely book with Jomari again.

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 Walled Lake 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,311 sitters in Walled Lake, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
