“This was Toby’s first sleep over. I was surprised how excited he was to see Bailey again. It brought my wife and I comfort knowing how excited he was to be there. Bailey has been a lifesaver. I highly recommend her .”
“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!”
“Jessica and her family were amazing! During our time away, Jessica sent regular updates, complete with adorable photos, which brought us such peace of mind. It was clear that Belle was having a blast and being well taken care of. The level of communication and transparency was just outstanding. I highly recommend Jessica and her family to anyone in need of a dependable, loving, and professional dog sitter. Your pup will be in the best possible hands, and you can relax knowing they are being treated like royalty.”
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.
“Zayda loved staying with Melissa and Willow. She was easy to communicate with via the app, flexible with dropoff/pickup, and sent daily updates and photos. Zayda came home exhausted from her fun week of playing with Willow and happily slept all day. She was happy and content when we picked her up. 10/10 would reccomend, great location for those traveling from MI to Canada or vice versa!”
“Highly recommend Brittany! She’s been watching our Brodie since he was a pup and he was with her for his 7th birthday! She takes excellent care of him and made is birthday extra special! He gets plenty of play time and is treated like family! Brittany is always giving updates and takes the most awesome pics! Brodie loves it there!”

“Murphy Brown was very well cared for with Christina and Douglas and their adorable boys! Lots of communication and pictures were sent! Murphy had an incredible time and I would definitely have them care for her again!”
“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.”

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. 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.
99% of sitters in Yale 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 Yale 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 Yale.
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 Yale. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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 Yale 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.
