“Michelle and Robert to great care of our dog! They were very responsive and provided a photo and updates while we were away. I would highly recommend them and would love to use them again in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Karen made the whole experience great! I’m happy we found her. She was wonderful with Coco and took great care of her while we were away. Her regular updates and photos were really appreciated, and it was great knowing Coco was in good hands. We’d definitely recommend Karen and would absolutely have Coco stay with her again if needed. Thank you, Karen!”
“I am so grateful to Gabrielle for taking great care of my Rottweiler and Pitbull. She allowed me to come see her home, get a feel for her property and have the dogs meet her prior to booking. Then when I was on my trip I got daily photos while I was away, she communicated often, and my dogs looked relaxed and happy when I picked them up. I will definitely be a return customer! Highly recommend!”
“Rich sent pictures everyday! My dog got plenty of outside time and play with other dogs! She came back so happy! Rich was very polite and responsive. 10/10 would book again”
“Carol was amazing. This was our first time leaving our boys with someone other than immediate family. I read through many reviews before concluding that Carol would be our best option. Carol suggested a meet and great ahead of time which we really appreciated. We could tell right away that she was an expert with dogs. My boys, who normally do not behave very well, were perfect angels in her home. I knew right away that we had made the right choice. Carol was kind and loving to my boys and often sent us updates and pics during our two week vacation. We felt completely at ease knowing they were being treated just as well as they are at home. I feel so thankful to have found Carol and know that I will always have the best care available for our two boys.”
“Our dog, Zoey, stayed with Dave over the Thanksgiving holidays. I was a little worried because Zoey has never stayed in someone’s home with other dogs and cats. It was a great experience for Zoey! Dave constantly sent photos of Zoey interacting with the other dogs so we were able to relax and enjoy our holiday. We will definitely use Dave again!”
“Colleen and her family were amazing! They took my dog in for a whole week as part of their family. I think my dog enjoyed herself so much that she slept for almost two days for recovery. She made drop off and pick up easy and it was overall a great experience!!”
“We had our 3rd booking with Bob & Vicky because they are amazing!! When we brought Trinket and Asa to stay again, they were so happy and excited they ran up to the front door! We had two out-of-town events which were practically back to back. Naturally, we booked Bob and Vicky each time. (So maybe that makes it 4x booking.) Our dogs had a blast with daily walks, play time, and cuddles. We receive pictures, videos, and daily updates! It is wonderful knowing that Trinket and Asa are in good hands and they are safe and loved.!! We highly recommend Bob & Vicky, and we will be booking with them again!!”
“Ashley, Charles and her kids are amazing with my senior dogs, and I'm so glad that I found this family. They truly do care so much about your pets. I love that I get updates from Ashley and so many photos during the day. Thank you so much for taking great care of them!!”
“Tyler was an excellent dog sitter, he took care of our elderly dog like he was his own! Very responsive and sent us photos throughout the stay. Thank you Tyler!”
“Dylan and Maddie were amazing! They took wonderful care of our dogs, and kept us updated with photos and messages! Our dogs genuinely looked so happy in every photo they sent us! We will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Beth did an amazing job with my 5 month old golden doodle. This was my first time leaving her but with Beth’s daily photo/video updates, my anxious heart was put at ease. Millie was happy when I picked her up. I will be using Beth again. 10/10! Thank you so much Beth!!!!”
“Jillian and her family were wonderful with our dog. They incorporated him into their lives and he had a great stay and was even sad to leave. While it was great to get home, he missed her kids and all their attention. I would definitely recommend Jullian.”
“Elise was so wonderful with our 3 year old Irish doodle and our 5 month old toy schnauzer puppy! It was our first time boarding them with anyone who isn’t family, and we weren’t sure how they’d do. I’m sure we were more concerned than we needed to be, but she was so great communicating with us beforehand and reassuring us. She was so sweet with them when they met her, and we weren’t surprised at all that they warmed up to her so quickly. We could tell that she really cares, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone for over a week. When we went to pick our pups up at the end of our trip, they were healthy and happy, and we were so appreciative of all her efforts. We would definitely rebook with Elise and also recommend her to friends in search of a pet sitter. Thanks, Elise!”
About: Hi! We're Jeremy and Mina. Jeremy works from home and Mina is currently working on her degree online, so we're both home and available to spend lots of time and give lots of love to your furry family members. We've always had pets growing up and couldn't imagine a life without them by our side. Our family consists of two dogs - a dopey but loving Great Pyrenees mix named Opal and a little Corgi with a big personality named Arlo - and an orange tabby cat named Marvin, who on rare occasions gets use of the coveted brain cell. We have a comfortable home with a fenced yard that we know your pet will enjoy as much as ours do! We're here to help whenever you need someone to watch your animals while you're away, and we'll care for and love them like they're one of our own while they're with us. :) We are both home throughout the week and have plenty of time to care for your pets while they're with us. Whether it's going on walks, playing in the yard, or just spending time with them and giving out lots of scritches, we'll either incorporate your dog into our pets' routine or can accommodate whatever schedule and lifestyle your pet is used to! We care for all animals as if they are our own, ensuring that they are comfortable, safe, and most of all - happy! Your pets will be in great care with our family and we are happy to send you updates as often as you need to feel comfortable with the care they are receiving.
“Ann was wonderful! Very responsive and attentive to our pups. With their veterinary backgrounds, we felt so at ease knowing they were in good hands. The best part was they allowed the pups on their furniture which is what they’re used to, it was a touch we sure appreciated. Thank you so much for all the love you provided our pups!”
About: We have a mini golden doodle who is almost 5 years old, and two teenagers who love dogs and can give our dogs boarding here lots of love. We have a backyard they can play in. I work primarily from home. It's important that the dog is crate trained for the few hours I work on Mondays and Wednesdays (I'm gone for about 4 hours) and we crate our dogs at night. Otherwise they're free to roam and I can take them outside/on walks daily. We love to snuggle and care for pets as a family. We can keep an eye on their behaviors to see if there are any concerns and update you with pictures and texts.
“Debi did great with our pug, and all the animals (dogs and cats) got along great. Received pictures and updates, and we felt he was absolutely secure in the home, all of which helped us enjoy our vacation worry-free. Plan on being a repeat customer when possible.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 537 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Allendale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Allendale 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 Allendale 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 Allendale.
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 Allendale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 Allendale 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 ID 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.
