Kristopher is hands down the very best option for us when it comes to boarding and sitting our dog Kurt. We’ve tried several different sitters in the area and although they were all great, Kristopher is our go-to from now on. We trust him and his family to take care of Kurt and never stress or worry about his well being. Communication is clear and concise, and always positive. Kurt gets so very excited and happy to go hang out with Kristopher and his family, especially their puppy Zeus, who is pretty much his BFF. 10/10 would recommend any time.

Emily was absolutely amazing with my puppy! She is only four months old (needs extra attention as most do!), is on a medication, and this was my first time having to leave her with someone else to care for her. When I got there, Emily already had a space set up for my puppy with a large play space and puppy pee pads (just in case haha). Emily sent me pictures and updates every day so that I could see how well she was doing. It made me happy to see her so happy. Then on my way home, I had flight delays, and Emily and her husband were MORE than accommodating to help me pick up my puppy from them quite late in the evening. I can’t recommend Emily enough. I will definitely look to her first when needing a sitter in the future.

Averi took great care of my Remy boy! She is a kind and thoughtful sitter and very easy to communicate with. She sent pictures during Remy’s stay at her home and assured me he was happy and well taken care of. Prior to Remy’s overnight stay, we met up for a meet and greet. Averi listened to my explanations of Remy’s needs and had no issues understanding and managing his anxiety and reactivity. She made me feel at ease. We will definitely be reaching out again!

Dan gave lots of feedback and sent pictures while Petoskey was there. Him and his wife do a real good job as my dog is a nervous Nelly and he did just fine while I was away.

I couldn’t be more thrilled to have found Tatyana, Nikki, and Biscuit to keep my little Bear company while I’m away. Daily check ins and communication were so helpful and eased my mind during the week plus multiple pictures to keep me posted on how he was doing. We look forward to knowing our Bear is safe and cared for when we aren’t able to take him with us in the future! Thank you again Tatyana!

Ruth was fabulous. My little 7lb Maggie was a new rescue that I only had for 2 months. She was so scared of EVERYTHING. Ruth has a nice small and quiet home. She was able to give my little doggie the individual and personal attention she really needed. I felt completely confident that Maggie would be cared for very well. We even received pictures and updates regularly while we were away. I'll definitely be calling Ruth, if we go out of town again.

Christine and her crew were incredible and did a great job. Thor came home exhausted and without any bad habits (begging from the table, attempting to get on furniture, etc). Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.

Christina was great with our dog Asher! She was great at communicating and sent pictures of him to us while we were on vacation and showed us how he was loving spending time with their dog. They even sent us home with a new dog toy for Asher and he loves it. Thanks for helping us out! We will definitely request to book with them again.

I've written a few great reviews about Jenn but this last stay she really went above and beyond. Due to some winter storms and travel complications I was delayed 21 hours coming home from a short business trip. While my time stuck in an airport was anxiety inducing wondering whether or not Piper was okay was not one of the factors. Not only did I know Piper was happy and safe where she was but Jenn was very responding and completely understanding. I'm so glad we've found Jenn through Rover - Piper's home away from home!

Laura and her husband came through again! On Frieda’s second stay, she hopped right out of the car and moseyed happily up to the door without hesitation, a clear sign she felt comfortable and safe. If she hadn’t, we know she would have stayed put in the car. The photo updates showed the same story: a happy, smiling Frieda. I really appreciate Laura and Mark’s flexibility and their willingness to welcome her back on short notice.

couldn't be happier with the help Melvin and his partner gave us, we were at a bind and they came to the rescue! On top of that our Moka was treated like family and they sent pictures regularly, we will definitely ask for their help later on. 1000% recommended !

Terry and his wife were excellent, they have the cutest house and a very big backyard for dogs to play or walk around. Tita (my dog) enjoyed her time with them, she seem so happy to be there when I picked her up. Thank you so much for giving her so much love. I will definitely rebook with them again.

Maggie and her family were incredible while taking care of Teddy for a week while we were on vacation. They treated him like one of their own, and we could tell Teddy was completely comfortable being at their home. She provided excellent communication, and sent us daily updates on how our little guy was doing. Teddy loved playing with Luna, and he'll probably miss that interaction. We would absolutely recommend Maggie and family!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Alto

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alto on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 485 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alto. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

91% of Alto sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Alto landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alto 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 Alto.

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.

You and your Alto 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.
