“OMGGGGG! I’m new to having pets. My daughter had an OFSAA tournament in Sarnia. We know no one in Sarnia. It was my first time using Rover. Angie responded quickly. Her rate and reviews are GREAT! She kept our minds at ease by sending pics, videos, notes throughout the day. She made the cutest posts. It was our first time away from Toby. There was a lot of anxiety but Angie put us at ease. She has a park next to her home to walk Toby. Not only is Angie great…but so is her family! So welcoming and friendly and kind. I know where to go if I’m back in Sarnia. Angie is 100% dependable kind and patient and just loves animals! 100% recommend Angie!”
“We did a meet and greet initially. Mary kept us informed of Hunter and how he was doing as we started the process. She was excellent and Hunter seemed to enjoy himself once he was settled. Thank you Mary!”
“This is the third time my dog has stayed with Alissa, and it’s always a fantastic experience. Alissa is incredibly attentive and loving, making me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Alissa takes excellent care of my dog, who always comes back happy and well looked after. She regularly sends photos and updates, keeping me informed. Alissa is also very accommodating with schedules, which is a great help. I highly recommend Alissa’s Dog Day Care for anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their pet!”
“Jocelyn took excellent care of our fur baby Bella. She kept us updated on how she was doing with lots of messages and photos too. We were very comfortable while we were away knowing she was in great care. Thank you so very much. Highly recommend!”
“Liz was great with my baby! She sent pictures every day and was flexible about our drop off and pick up times. She made sure to keep my girl safe and comfortable and I could not be happier with her service! We will be back!”
“We use Brittany and her husband for doggy daycare so it was a no brainer to leave our pup with them while we were on vacation. It was great to have the peace of mind the our pup was safe and well cared for. I thought he wasn’t going to want to come home with us- as it appeared he had a blast!! He was probably better behaved there then he is at home. I cannot recommend Brittany and her family enough!! They are wonderful to work with, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and really care for all the animals they take responsibility for. 10 stars!!”
About: I have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I was a devoted owner of my Chihuahua for 13 years, which gave me extensive experience with long-term, attentive care and the needs of an aging dog. I also have experience with neonatal puppies. I helped care for a litter of 8 puppies from birth through adoption, assisting with feeding, handling, cleaning, monitoring their development, and providing consistent care until they went to their forever homes. I continue to help care for young puppies belonging to family and friends, giving me experience with puppy routines, supervision, and the extra patience they require. Additionally, I gained professional experience working at a doggy daycare during college, where I helped care for multiple dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention I would want for my own dog. My Availability 🐾 I’m unavailable Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, but I’m available after 4 PM on those days. I’m fully available Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with flexible availability throughout the day. Have a specific schedule in mind? Send me a booking request or message me with your dates and your pet’s routine, and I’ll be happy to see how I can help! 🐾 Every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I like to learn what works best for them before each booking. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, medication if needed and within my comfort level, and plenty of attention and companionship. For drop-in visits and walks, I can follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you know how they’re doing. For overnight care, I do not stay overnight in clients’ homes. I’m happy to discuss extended drop-in visits or multiple visits throughout the day and evening instead. For boarding or overnight stays in my home, arrangements need to be discussed and approved in advance since I live with my family. I’ll make sure the setup is a good fit for both your pet and my household before confirming the booking. My goal is to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
About: I have volunteered and worked over 10 years with an animal rescue. I have a lot of experience with different dog breeds, ages, personalities, and special needs. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I currently have one dog, a 9year old lab/heeler mix. She is friendly and loves to meet new friends! I currently work part-time from home which allows me to care for your dog full-time. I'm very open and flexible with schedules. I'm available for short or long term stays. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I do have 3 acres for your fur baby to run around and play. I will also akways keep your dog on a leash outside if needed. My home is a caring and loving environment where your dog will feel safe and loved. My husband and I treat our dogs like our kids and will treat yours the same!
About: I offer a boutique, low-volume dog care experience designed for dogs who thrive in a calmer, more personal environment. With 15+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels—including high-energy breeds like huskies. My setup is intentionally small (only a few dogs at a time) so each dog gets individual attention, structured play, and a stress-free environment—nothing like overcrowded daycare facilities. Dogs in my care enjoy: • Supervised indoor & outdoor time • Daily walks and structured play • A cozy, home-style environment • Optional fresh, homemade meals • Consistent routines to reduce anxiety I focus heavily on reading dog behavior and creating a balanced, safe group dynamic. Whether your dog is playful, shy, or needs a slower pace, I tailor care to them. This is ideal for owners looking for something more intentional, calm, and personalized for their dog—not a chaotic daycare setting. I offer flexible scheduling for daycare and boarding with a consistent daily routine to keep dogs comfortable. Because I keep my numbers low, each dog gets plenty of attention, structured playtime, and rest throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with drop-off and pick-up times arranged to keep transitions calm and stress-free. Dogs in my care are kept in a safe, structured, low-volume environment designed to reduce stress and overstimulation. I carefully manage group dynamics and only accept a small number of dogs to ensure compatibility. Pets are always supervised during play, with designated rest areas for downtime. I can accommodate crate routines if needed and follow each dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Cleanliness, safety, and a calm atmosphere are always my top priorities.
About: I’ve been in love with cats for as long as I can remember, there has always been room for a cat in my home, I grew up with three cats. I have personal experience of taking care of my cats since I was ten years old. I’ll be happy to meet some new kitty friends. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to visit your kitty whenever suits their schedule. I usually have weekends free, and during the weekdays, I’m free after 2 pm. I’ll gladly send you pictures and video updates of your sweet kitty! I have a good space in my apartment. Unfortunately, I don’t have my kitty here, so that I can focus all my time and affection on your kitty.
“My dog had an amazing time and was well taken care of. He made sure to update me often and he really cared about the health and well being of my pup. He treats your pup as his own and has a great area for the dogs to walk. Will be using him regularly, it’s so nice to drop off your pet without having to worry.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, I have a black lab who has diabetes and is now blind so I’m very patient with her 😊 I’m a stay at home mom with two daughters so my schedule is wide open. I’m always around if someone needs me to help out I have a fenced in yard for my dogs, I’m very trustworthy and have fun with any animal. I enjoy being outside with them as well

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 West Tappan home-away-from-home, 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 West Tappan.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your West Tappan 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 , 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 .
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.
