“Danielle and her family had Fuji for a month long visit and they treated her like their own! She came back very happy. I got pictures and updates and Fuji even came back having been taught a new trick! They were flexible with me having to extend my trip, asking to pick Fuji up an hour early, and even jumped my car for me when it died in their driveway! I would definitely hire Danielle in the future and recommend her to anyone who is seeking a kind, reliable dog sitter.”

“Let’s just start by saying my puppy is not for the faint of heart! She is a gsp, so by nature is very hyper and energetic and let’s be honest…. Kinda crazy! Megan did an amazing job caring for her while I was away on vacation! I received daily updates which I loved because this was our first time away from her! And she has a friendly dog that kept her occupied the whole time!! Not once did I worry about my puppy while I was gone which is nice because this pup is like my baby! Also Megan has a fenced in backyard for additional play area which is also nice. Will definitely be booking again in the future!!! 😊🐶🐾”

About: I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, potty breaks, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry friend is doing well while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I work from home every day as a full-time remote employee, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime, and I can even care for pets while their owners are at work. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and have plenty of experience having my family dog come stay with me. I’m also a very active person who loves walking and running, so I’m happy to bring an energetic pup along for some exercise and adventure! When your pet stays with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home! I’ll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I’ll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. I’ll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while they’re staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. 🤍

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!

Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 508 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Grand Rapids. About 92% of East Grand Rapids sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
