“Oh my gosh, I couldn't list all the positives of Kelly and husband Eric. As a first timer, in my 45 years, they made this situation stress-free and allowed me to be able to focus on the reason why I needed a sitter in the 1st place. The love in my Queenie eyes through the picture updates show the bond and love Delevoped between them. Plus, I was nervous about leaving her at a crucial training period in her puppy stage, but Kelly's knowledge had Queenie's training still on track and her behavior was even better than before.”
“Diane took wonderful care of Rosie for us. You can tell she truly loves caring for fur babies. Her very large fenced in back yard is wonderful for safe outdoor play time. She texted pictures and responds very quickly to texts which gave me great piece of mind knowing our pup was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Diane in the future!”
“Soooo happy to have our fur baby stay with Lindsey and Justin and family! Our boy has never been so calm as he was after his stay with you guys. Thank you for caring for our boy like your own!!!”
“Julie was great with my pooch. I appreciated how they introduced my dog to the other dogs and cat and had a gentle demeanor towards the pets. I will definitely book with Julie again.”
“Beth took excellent care of our dog, Ellie. She sent pictures and replied to our texts promptly. This is the first time in 6 years, since we adopted Ellie, that we have left her. After the meet and greet we had no problems leaving her with Beth”
“Victoria did an absolutely amazing job watching our young puppy. She sent the best updates that kept us reassured he was having a wonderful time. She clearly loves dogs and cares about taking great care of them, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. I already have another booking with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She sent daily photo updates and kept us informed about everything Koda was up to, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the pictures that Koda was having the best time. Rachel was so present with her and took her on lots of fun adventures. She was very accommodating and a great communicator throughout the stay. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable Rover sitter!”
“Our dog had a great time. He looked comfortable the moment we dropped him off. We received lots of communication and pictures throughout. They clearly are very enthusiastic and caring for the pets they look after. Will definitely use them again.”
“Haley hosted our 10yo golden retriever in her home for 5 days. They have an excellent fenced in backyard and two kiddos to keep pups busy! Haley also did home visits for our cat, who needs insulin shots with his food. She came over once before our vacation to see how to care for our cat and we returned to a healthy and happy feline! The daily photos we got were such a reassurance that our pets were in great hands. We definitely will use Haley again for our future trips. Easy to communicate and coordinate with!”
About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
“Ted, was amazing — he watched Odin for us on very short and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We’ve gotten to know him and his dog Maizey in the neighborhood over time (Maizey’s always so friendly with other dogs!), and he’s just a genuinely kind person. He took Odin on regular walks, sent us photos throughout the stay, and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter!”
“Sarah provided frequent updates and photos and she responded very quickly anytime I reached out. She took great care of our pup, ensured he was safe and provided a great space for him to enjoy her home and family. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Daria was a 5-star, fabulous sitter. She took great care of our little guy and built a great relationship with him. So much so that even when we picked him up, he went back to her for some goodbye love. Daria was in regular contact with us and shared lots of pictures. We'd definitely recommend Daria and she'll be watching our little guy, Riley, again.”
About: I’ve had a vast experience from helping foster cats to personal dog ownership and training. My calm, loving demeanor sets me apart from just a pet sitter. A flexible schedule is ideal, considering I am primary caregiver to my two children. Looking for a part time schedule during school hours. I value being responsible and reliable for you and your pet’s needs. I would love to establish our home as a safe boarding environment for your bestie. We have just under two acres- not fenced- of beautiful land for your best friend to run and play! Lots of space inside, with option of storing a crate, if needed. Our children will not be part of the boarding experience as they are not home on weekends. Our dog passed unexpectedly this year of cancer and it wrecked us. Although we cannot replace her, we would love to provide a happy place for your beloved pet to stay and be loved while you are away or need a break. 🩷
About: Professional care for your best friend! With over seven years of professional, hands-on experience at industry-leading organizations like Leader Dogs for the Blind, I provide specialized canine care that goes far beyond basic pet care. As a Certified Professional Groomer with professional training experience and canine medical support, I offer a safe, structured, and enriching environment for dogs of all life stages—from newborn litters to high-energy adults. When your dog is with me, they aren't just being watched; they are being trained, enriched, and cared for by a credentialed expert. I also have experience in caring for cats as well as distributing medications. I love caring for animals! It’s my biggest passion! I’m always trying to learn something new! My schedule is pretty open , I work completely from home, and I’m available to supervise 24/7 and give as many potty breaks as needed. My goal is to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible! Even if that means thinking outside the box and being a little creative!!
About: I started on Rover a few years back, and have met so many amazing animals and families along the way! I love animals and giving them the attention they deserve, especially when their family is out of town and they don’t know what’s going on! I love making sure they don’t feel lonely throughout the day. I’m very familiar with separation anxiety and making them feel extra loved! I have experience with small dogs to dogs bigger than me. I have watched senior dogs with lots of limitations, puppies with so much energy they don’t know what to do with it, and special needs dogs that has additional requirements. I have watched 1 dog to 5 dogs at a time. I have also stayed and taken care of reptiles, chickens, etc. I live in Fenton and work full-time in Flint. I do work full time from 8a-4:30p. And if it permits, will stop during my lunch break to visit as well! I am available evenings and weekends. I have been utilizing my younger sister to help work schedules out as well. She’s been really awesome with the animals and is more available for frequent visits during the day. I would bring her with me for the meet and greet to ensure you your animals are well taken care of while you’re gone 😊 anything I cannot cover, she usually does! I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room for running around and playing! I love being outside, especially if it’s nice, so walks or visits to the dog park will be routine for us! I do work full time, 8am-4:30pm. I am available to stop during my lunch hour for potty breaks, walks, etc. I am most available after work and on the weekends! I know the importance of making sure your animal is getting the love they’re used to when you’re home. I always want to make them feel extra loved and special, especially when they’re in an environment they might be uncomfortable in because it’s a new space (if boarding at my house) or you’re not home. Stimulation is very important to I always make sure to pay them more attention than they probably even need! And treats and important too, if their diet allows :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbiaville
We are so happy with the service Paula provided for our chocolate lab. Pick up and drop off was exactly on-time and went off without a hitch. Paula came and did a meet and greet first which helped make our dog and us more comfortable. We received pictures and updates throughout the week and could tell our dog was so happy and being treated like a queen. We will definitely use Paula again and highly recommend her services!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Columbiaville is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 247 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Columbiaville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
98% of sitters in Columbiaville 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 Columbiaville 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 Columbiaville.
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 Columbiaville 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.
