“Melissa took such good care of my Ziggy while I was away for work. She was kind, flexible (with my travel schedule/delays), and communicative during his stay. I could tell Ziggy really enjoyed himself. Thanks Melissa!”
“KellyAnna was awesome to work with. Quick to respond initially. She was gracious enough to let us come over and get acquainted. My first visit I wasn't able to bring my dog with me. I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“Alice was amazing with our pup! Her house and yard set up is perfect to allow dogs to run and play. Alice was very communicative and patient as this was our first Rover experience. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for and safe while we enjoyed a Michigan State game. Will definitely use Alice again and highly recommend her! Her dog is also super sweet and friendly.”

She sent pics and updates every day. Responded In a timely manner and even helped us feel less anxious while being away. She follows directions and uses good discernment. Highly recommend Christine and will definitely have her watch our pup if needed.”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Makayla to watch over my goldendoodle Oliver, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, she was professional, kind, and clearly a dog lover. She took the time to get to know my dog’s routine, quirks, and preferences, which put my mind at ease. During the stay, Makayla provided regular updates with photos, showing my dog happy and well-cared for. It was clear that my dog was in excellent hands and received plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I returned to a content and well-looked-after pet. I would highly recommend Makayla to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’m definitely planning to use her services again in the future! She truly exceeded my expectations and gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“McKenna cared for Charlie as if he were her own. He had a wonderful time playing with Togo and Grizzly, and she kept us updated several times a day. The huge backyard gave Charlie plenty of space to play, and he slept like a baby when we brought him home. We would be happy to use her services again!”
About: I took break a year ago but now I am back and available for your pet needs for 2026! I have grown up working in and out of all kinds of pet rescue agencies along with vet offices. I have owned all types of animals my whole life and it’s something I’ve always been extremely passionate about! I also don’t mind snuggling your animals too ♥️ I currently work from home and have all the time in the world to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I specialize in all kinds of animals! I own three indoor cats but have also had a lot of training on how to handle dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes! I work from home and happen to have alot of free time and a open schedule I answer calls and texts very quickly so you can depend on me to have last minute scheduling needs or wants. I treat every pet like my own. I've taken care of many different animals all shapes and sizes. I take lots of notes on what they want or need and always ask questions if I ever have any.
“Alsacia took care of our cat Monty and dog Bear while we were out of the country and we couldn't be happier with the job she did. Both are a handful to take care of and she was more than up to the task. She was communicative, reassuring, professional, flexible, and a delight overall. We will be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Cody helped us out in a pinch, and it was the best possible outcome! Cody was so professional in how he manages the dogs in his care and made both me and Maggie feel at ease. Maggie had the best time. I highly recommend.”
“We had a last minute hospital visit and needed some care for our puppy again. And once again, my pup had another great time -- she came back happy and relaxed after a fun couple days at the puppy spa! Thanks so much! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waverly
We highly recommend Jennifer! Our dog doesn’t usually like being away from home, but he loves staying with her. Even though it had been over a year since his last visit, he knew exactly where he was as soon as we pulled in—he ran right up to her door, eager to go inside! He looks so happy in the pictures she shares and always comes home happy, too. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s comfortable, happy, and so well cared for while we’re away. We’re so grateful to Jennifer!
They were an amazing dog sitter! They were incredibly understanding and accommodating throughout the entire process, which made everything so much less stressful. It was clear they genuinely cared and made sure my dog was well taken care of. Communication was great, and they were flexible when needed. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and would definitely trust them again in the future. Highly recommend!

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

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 Waverly 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 Waverly 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 Waverly.
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 Waverly. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Waverly 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.
