“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”
“Alexandra did a perfect job sitting for my pet. She made my dog feel right at home, kept me updated throughout her stay, and was very accommodating and flexible. Would happily have my pet stay again!”
“Wow, Marissa is the best. We got photos frequently and reports of how our furry friend was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with our crazy work schedules. Best sitter ever!”
“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.”
“Jenna is amazing! She was ultra responsive when it came to booking and she made it super easy. The boys absolutely loved her and had a great time. They came home all tuckered out. We can’t wait to see her again!”
“Molly was extremely flexible, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dog overnight. Her place is lovely and our dog was instantly comfortable. Her dog is very sweet and calm. Would book here 100% anytime we are in Grand Rapids!”
“Felix has some of that 'dog whisper' magic. He was generous with sharing his home and love while watching our dog. We can tell our dog felt secure and relaxed while under his care and had some fun of his own while we were away.”
“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.”
“Pam did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! She was understanding of Aubrey’s needs and kept me updated with lots of wonderful pictures and videos so I could rest assured my puppy was having a great time while I was away. Aubrey came home very tired out from so much fun time playing with the other dogs!”
“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!”
“David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!”
“This was our pups’ second time staying with Dan and Kelly, and we couldn’t be happier with their stay. Dan and Kelly are communicative and accommodating, and we really appreciate them!”
“Melvin was so kind and took great care of our sweet girl, Mabel. He took her over 4th of July weekend and she can be a little anxious with fireworks, and there were absoloutely no issues. He had a plan to keep the pup as comfortable as possible! You can really tell that he knows what he’s doing, and loves it too!”
“We were SO pleased with how Erin and Brian took care of Willow! Even with little quirks that Willow had, they were willing to adjust to make her comfortable. We would highly recommend them to watch your fur babies.”
“A wonderful experience! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding our dog, but at the meet and greet Jacob had each of his dogs meet ours one on one. The dogs all got along, and I think ours was excited to have other dogs to play with! She was with them for three nights, and was well cared for. She came home happy and healthy - it is such a relief knowing we have a future resource for times we can’t bring her with us, and it was so nice knowing she was in a home with a big fenced backyard, instead of in a kennel. Thank you for taking such great care of our Daisy girl!”
“Lulu vacationed with Tatyana for a week while we vacationed in the sunshine. It was her first time away from home. Tatyana took the time to acclimate us to her home and her pup the week before we left. Lulu enjoyed being with Tatyana's puppy and from the pictures we received every day, she had a great time with her new puppy pal and other family members as well. Daily texts, pics and short videos assured us that Lulu was in good hands- So glad we found an alternative to a boarding kennel.”
“My Frankie loves to stay with Stephanie! He and Pickle get up to shenanigans on every visit. Knowing that my boy is in good, loving hands means so much to me.”
“I appreciated the quick responses and open feedback about how our dog was doing. She was very understanding of his quirks but had the experience to handle it. Our pup did great with Evvia.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in East Grand Rapids is $42

Fabulous experience! It was our first time being away from our puppy and it was an entire week, so we were anxious. He had a great time! Was happy to be there and happy to see us. We got pictures and updates, Lindsay was amazing. Highly recommend and will be using her again
I have a really hard time leaving my pup behind when I travel but I always feel comfortable when she is in Tatyana's care! Tatyana goes above and beyond and truly cares about the dogs that she watches. I have peace of mind knowing my dog is safe and loved when I'm away.
Puggy LOVES staying with aunt Pam. She takes the most AMAZING care of him while he’s there. This is the second time she has watched Puggy and Aunt Pam will always be our first choice! She is the VERY best!!! & she has the sweetest & most adorable pup crew that Puggy loves playing with and lounging with. Pam lets Puggy sleep in her bed and she spends a ton of time letting him sit in her lap. His favorite! Puggy loves her!
Emma was great with our dog, Blue! She was very responsive and reached out promptly with questions. Blue had a great weekend and came home exhausted from all the play. We received lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend. Highly recommend Emma!
Raven was absolutely amazing with maverick! Maverick can be super difficult at times and she made the experience amazing for all of us! She sent us pictures and he was always so happy with her. Raven was super flexible and came out of her way to pick him up and drop him off! She’s a great person with great vibes! We will be working with her any chance we get in the future.
Suzy took wonderful care of Misty! She was very reassuring and sent us updates while we were gone. She walked Misty every day and spent time with her in the yard. The personal attention was exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be having her care for Misty again!

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.
92% of East Grand Rapids 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 East Grand Rapids 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 East Grand Rapids 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 East Grand Rapids.
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 East Grand Rapids 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.
