“My dog Milo did very well with Caroline. She took very good care of him and sent several updates and videos. Caroline is very caring and loves dogs! We highly recommend her and will be coming back to her.”
“Lola loves staying with Toni! I never have to worry when she’s there — she’s treated like part of the family. Lola comes home happy, tired, and totally spoiled! Thank you!!”
“Another wonderful stay for Henry! So good we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home! 😂. Karen is living, spoils him, and sends us at least a picture a day! We are so lucky to have found her! Thank you Karen!”
“Catherine was amazing taking care of our Chewie, very communicative and caring and give us a lots of pictures/updates, and he looks always so well. I'll sure will book her again in the future.”
“This was my first experience leaving one of my dogs with a pet sitter. Before we would occasionally board our dogs with the vet. This was an excellent experience though and I prefer it over boarding with the vet. Rodney was great with my 2 1/2 month old puppy. His dogs, especially Murphy, played so well with Leroy. My little guy loves that big golden retriever. My puppy also came back a few lbs heavier and a bit taller, showing he was well cared for the whole time. When I wasn't going to be back in town until a bit later, Rodney was very accommodating about allowing my mum and sister to pick up the puppy for me. Overall it was an excellent experience and I highly recommend him.”
“Jennifer was an amazing sitter. I was nervous leaving Mochi for the first time, but Jennifer took great care of her. She sent pictures and videos everyday, and I could tell Mochi was having so much fun. Mochi enjoyed having other dogs to play with. Would definitely recommend and rebook with Jennifer.”
“Kaylynn and Andrew took good care of Higgins. He came home happy and loved playing with their dog, Mobie. Easy to communicate with them. Would definitely have them watch Higgins again.”

“Kristi and Jason are both very friendly and welcoming. They took Pebbles into their own home and kept her safe and happy while I was gone for a long weekend. It was great knowing that Pebbles was getting lots of attention, love, and play time with her new dog friend, Oli. Kristi and Jason sent me updates including pictures of them taking her out for a walk, which was very reassuring . I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them!”
“Winston loved Kris and fam. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, despite his anxiety. Winston seemed to really get along with her pug! She was very communicative and sent photos and videos. She even dropped him off and made sure he was settled because I had a red eye flight. She also gave him a Christmas stocking which was so sweet. He loved it!”
“We boarded Lily with Kasey when she she a 1 year old rambunctious puppy and we were so happy with her care. Now, post Covid we were lucky Kasey was available once again. Lily is now a 5 year old and a lot calmer. We were gone for 10days and Lily fit in well with Gracie and Dilly (kasey’s dogs) we didn’t have a worry leaving Lily and are grateful for Kasey. She is a gem! Thanks Kasey!”
“Olivia is super friendly and helpful. She kept my cat in good mood, so good that he kind of refused to leave her place when the time was up. I will certainly come back to Olivia if I need someone to take care of my cat in the future.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since before I completed my undergraduate degree in Animal Science, taking part in rescue organizations and volunteering as a foster. I also have 2 dogs (7 and 4 y/o) that I raised since they were puppies. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats. If your pets have any special needs, let me know and we can discuss! I'm currently finishing up a PhD in animal science at MSU, so I have a somewhat flexible schedule that can be adjusted based on your needs. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is flexible as I build it myself. I can adjust based on pet care needs, as well as do check-ins throughout the day. Being an owner of two very different dogs, I understand that there are different requirements and needs for each pet, so I will take care of your pet based on any of the requirements you set.
About: **Back to My Roots. Back to My Passion!** Former owner of KT Specialty Pet Care, I’m excited to return to what I’ve always loved most—caring for pets. I provide loving, dependable, and personalized care for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppy playtime and socialization, walks and exercise, senior pet care, medication administration, in-home visits, and in-home boarding. I also offer limited grooming services, including bathing, nail trims and more. With many years of experience in the veterinary field, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m excited to get back to my roots and my passion for providing the love, attention, and care your pets deserve. I offer flexible pet care options to fit your needs, including morning and evening visits, quick pop-in visits, and walks. I also provide in-home pet care for those who want their furry family members to stay comfortable in their own home, along with limited grooming services such as baths and nail trims.

My home has a separate, dedicated space where I can comfortably care for, board, and groom your pets.

I have extensive experience with overnight stays, medication administration, and caring for pets with a variety of needs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I will provide them with the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own.

The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 White Oak 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 White Oak 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 White Oak.
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 White Oak. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 White Oak 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.
