About: Hello! My name is KellyAna, welcome to my page ! I offer pet care with flexible availability and many different options! I have been pet sitting for a couple years now and I love what I do, I have a experience with dogs Both big & small and it’s always so much fun to be able to look after them and learn more and more about dogs, different breeds and be able to grow along side many of my returning & new clients ! I’ve looked after many dogs and have experience administering medications please just let me know if your pet has any special accommodations beforehand so we plan accordingly and make sure your pet gets the best care possible I am always willing to work with a client in whatever I can do to make them feel the most comfortable with their pet being left in my care so please feel free to set up a meet and greet so we can go over anything you feel is necessary to know about your pet! If you you do not feel a meet and greet is necessary please leave me your best detailed message about your pet and their day to day routine/schedule Owners should bring bowls, bed for their pet ( I have extras to an extent) & anything they feel their pet will need that will make them feel the most comfortable during their stay, I do ask that Pet Parents please label their fur babies property so that I can return everything to their rightful owners at pick up and to help avoid any accidents. I frequently take dogs on walks/rides with me & sometimes to the park, if you prefer I do not do so please just let me know! Though I do my best to always be the one meeting you for pick ups & drop offs sometimes I do juggle multiple pets & I do not only work in my home but I watch clients pet in their homes as well sometimes just to let their dogs on potty breaks so please stick to your pick up & drop off times and do your best to let me know ahead of time if you are running late or anything changes, I know my clients would like to see me but I do have family here that many of my clients are familiar with now that help me with pick up/drop offs when I can’t not be there right at the moment. Thank you so much for choosing & trusting me with your pet! I will provide you with pictures/videos & keep you updated about your pets well being & just to send over any cute pictures of course. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions at any time! We get that sometimes your pet may be more comfortable in their own home which is perfectly fine! Can’t come to us? I can come to you! We offer house sitting/drop in visits/doggy daycare & walks ! Please feel free to let us know if you would rather have house visits so we can go over every detail when it comes to the safety of your pet & home ! My at home & work schedule is pretty flexible So I can always work something Out to Make proper accommodations & I also have family members with verified rover accounts if I ever need help We usually have anywhere from 1-3 pets with us a week and will make proper accommodations when planned accordingly, (please contact me a week in advance if you pet is to be kept alone/away from other pets)
“Melissa went above and beyond while taking care of my dog Amaya. She is an excellent caring person. I was nervous about the process because it is my first time on Rover. She helped me so much and put my mind at ease. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Cori had a wonderful day hanging out at Victoria and Rishi’s place. He got to go on a nice long walk and came home a very happy (and tired) pup. We would definitely send him back for future visits.”
“Very highly recommend: I dropped my deaf dog off unsure of how she would interact with others, as I typically try to keep her away due to my uncertainty. However, Sarah provided constant updates with pictures and videos of my pup interacting with others, which put my worries to rest. I very much loved having my pet here and I’m sure my pup did too.”
“Cody did a wonderful job providing day-care for our two dogs! Lots of pictures sent and they both came home and fell right asleep from all the fun they had. Definitely will be reusing and highly recommend!”
“Susan was such a wonderful puppy sitter for ginger! I can tell ginger really enjoyed her time 😊 we would recommend Susan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. We will definitely be back! Much appreciated!”
“We took our two dogs to Alice for a day trip - we were headed to Lake Michigan, and wanted to be sure the dogs were well cared-for. Alice was very cordial and her instructions clear. The dogs seem happy and content, and I couldn't believe the report on the dogs I received by email! It was a wonderful thing to see that they were doing well. Nice touch! No doubt a lot of work for Alice, but it is appreciated. We'll definitely book with Alice again. Happy dogs are very important to us.”
“Brianna has watched my puppy a few times and naturally, as puppies can be, she was pretty hyper and crazy, but Brianna did such a great job with her and my puppy was so happy when I went to pick her up! She’s very kind and I’ll definitely be using her again?”
“I can’t say enough good things about Jessica! My boy went to doggy daycare for the day, she was very communicative. She worked with him on some training and sent videos and pictures of him playing, resting and doing some training. She went above and beyond! My pup came home happy and tired out!”
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs throughout my entire life. I’ve had the blessing of entirely raising a dog a cat and even a snake, from months of age to adulthood and throughout their elder years on my own. I am currently on summer break from school and work full-time as a Behavior Technician in Okemos, MI ! Other than my day-job I have a complete open availability on nights, afternoons and weekends. Plenty of time to smother your fur-baby with love and affection ! I have an upstairs apartment with two cats and a pet snake. There are no stairs inside my apartment so there is easy access for disabled and senior fur-babies. My bedroom and guest room also reside all on the same floor.
“Makayla was wonderful with my 7 year old lab! She was communicative and sent me pictures of Ollie enjoying his time with her. She even took the time to talk to me about his behavior patterns and needs as identified by me. I will certainly be booking again!”
About: I’ve been caring for and surrounded by animals my whole life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or just getting extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow their normal routine and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I work from home most days, which allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I work in the office and am home by 5:00 p.m. I enjoy staying active with the dogs and usually take them for a walk after dinner. Since I’m home most of the week, they’ll also have plenty of time to play, relax, and go outside throughout the day. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play, and they’re welcome on the furniture and free to make themselves comfortable in my home. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, and bedtime habits. I want your dog’s stay to feel as normal and comfortable as possible.
About: Had dogs and cats since I was a kid. Currently have 2 senior cats of my own. Home often and open to frequent walks. Dogs must be relaxed around cats if interested on boarding Im a Full time student, at uni mon-thurs from 10-2, otherwise home to take care of and play w/ pets all day most days Safety oriented. Live in an apartment so outside time will always be leashed. Depending on the dog we will play indoors or, if they can be trusted, at a dog park
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 19 years old I love dogs I currently even check up on my in laws dog when they go on vacation. I have a very open schedule I’m a at home taking care of my daughter and my 2 dogs. So I do have a very open schedule might as well use it. Play with them give them attention give them treats when I can take them outside take a walk on the neighborhood especially when it’s warm out.
“Duke seemed to enjoy hanging out with Mackenzie and her fiance. Mackenzie was quick to respond to my messages, and was very pleasant to interact with. I'd have her watch Duke again! Thanks.”
About: I've always had a pet in my home. Whether it be a dog, cat, fish, rabbit, turtle, or lizard, they are always treated like family. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most days. An animal can never be "bad" in my eyes, and will never be treated like it is. Your pet will be treated like it's one of my own and part of this family. It will be given endless patience and love. Our family would love to have our own pet right now, but we just got a new home, new jobs and we have three younger boys so we are taking the time to get settled. Using the Rover app is perfect for seeing how our life will be when we do have a pet, and what kind we would like. Thank you for considering me, and I hope to hear from you and meet your pets! Perfectly. Our lifestyle is lax, and focused on family and happiness overall. Everyone here loves animals, and appreciates the opportunity to get to know your pet! Your pets safety is VERY important to us and is always at the forefront of my mind. I treat them as if they're someone's child.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Waverly on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Waverly 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 183 sitters in Waverly, 91% 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.
