“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!”

“Dan was awesome to work with, and his dog Penny is a sweetheart that immediately welcomed my young, anxious rescue lab Goose into her home. He made sure Goose felt comfortable in the house, provided him with sufficient exercise, and sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. Highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of a sitter!”

“Ru watched our dog—Bailey—for us while we went on a trip abroad for a week and a half and she was amazing! She updated us and sent pictures of Bailey to us regularly, which made us never worry about if Bailey was doing okay. Ru was also very flexible in extending Bailey’s stay with her by a few hours when our flight back home was unexpectedly canceled. Overall, I highly recommend Ru to watch your companion animals—she’s wonderful!”
“Suzanne and her children were absolutely amazing with my husky! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, took my dog for walks, and had a huge backyard for her to run around in! Her children were very gentle with my dog which I appreciated! I’ve already booked more stays with her! My dog loves her and can’t wait to go back! Thanks, Suzanne!”
“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!!”

“Our experience with Sarah was great! This was our first time using Rover and Sarah was very accommodating. She invited us for a meet and greet before our pup’s stay, was very responsive and offered updates on how he was doing. She made us feel very comfortable and we knew our dog was in great hands.”
“Christina and her family took such great care of Oliver during our recent extended family vacation.

“Evvia was an amazing host. She kept in great contact and I felt very comfortable having her watch my dog while I was out of town. Would definitely recommend!”
“Felix did an amazing job with our big rescue dog who is so sweet, but needs reassurance that everything will be ok. We are also grateful that there were other dogs to socialize with, big and small. Felix has a beautiful, large fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around and get a lot of exercise. This was our first experience with Rover and having our dog stay with anyone other than our family. We will absolutely hire Felix again.”

David took such good care of my new foster pup. He was just getting used to me and my home when a planned vacation called for a stay with David for a few nights. He was absolutely wonderful with Goose and his shy demeanor. The texts and pics throughout his stay helped me feel confident that he was in the right place during my absence. Thank you David! I would trust my foster pup or a pup of my own with you anytime!
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!
I can’t say enough about how great Tatyana was for my dog while I was away for a long weekend. I received constant updates about the fun my dog was having and lots and lots of pictures. As a dog owner it can be stressful at times finding a sitter last minute and Tatyana was a perfect find! Terrific communication the entire time and made it a stress free weekend for myself knowing that my dog was in great hands while I was away. She also was watching over others dogs along with mine and they all became best buds as well. Very comforting to know I can count on Tatyana whenever needed in the future. 6 stars if it were an option.
Lindsay did a great job taking care of our new puppy for a week! I appreciated her thoroughness in doing a meet & greet before accepting our reservation request to make sure her pup & ours would get along. She sent photos & videos updates & was a great communicator. Our dog is definitely a people person and we could tell he got a lot of attention & felt at home & loved in Lindsay's home. We'd definitely book again. Thank you Lindsay!
Haley was fantastic! She was super quick to respond both before we dropped off our dog and while we were away. Our pup, who normally is too anxious to eat while we are away from home, ate all his meals when he was with her which I think speaks volumes to how comfortable he felt! We highly recommend Haley!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in East Grand Rapids on Rover is $41.07 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 519 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across East Grand Rapids. 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 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.
