“Charles, Casity and family did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! He felt comfortable from the moment he entered their home. Communication was great and they kept us updated with videos and pictures throughout the stay. We highly recommend them!”
“Christopher always does an amazing job with our dog Ryder. He loves the outdoor space they provide him as well as playing with all the other dogs. We love how they send us updates throughout Ryders stay with pictures and messages. Highly recommend!”
“Megan was great updating us with her observations of Gypsy (our Doberman) along with pictures of activities they were doing. We will definitely be a return client and recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable caring sitter for your fur baby!”
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our Lincoln! She was very responsive and sent updates each day. Lincoln seemed happy and relaxed - which speaks volumes. Would definitely recommend Hannah!”
“Will definitely be booking with Danielle again. Her and her family did a great job with my little guy. He came home happy and healthy and the communication between us while gone was great. Loved all the pics she sent us as well.”
“Leslie is so patient and kind! It sounded like my dog was a little more rowdy than usual (suspecting due to new medication she was placed on) and Leslie appropriately reached out to check if I had tips or tricks to make her feel more comfortable. She reassured me many times to not worry, which was nice to hear she had the situation under control! Would definitely trust Leslie again to watch my dog!”
“Our Happy had a very successful and positive stay with Tracy. As a first time user of Rover, we were very fortunate to find Tracy! She arranged a meet and greet, explained her set up, introduced her family and pets to us and our dog, and answered many questions for us (this was Happy's first boarding experience). All went very well, she sent daily reports and fun pictures. This allowed us to enjoy our time away even more, knowing our pup was in good hands (and laps) 😊. We plan to reach out to Tracy each time we need boarding for our Happy, highly recommend!”
“Great sitter. Lily was happy and cared for well. Lily raced happily around in her backyard, went for walks, played with her dog, and had some good couch cuddles. I would highly recommend Megan.”
“110% recommend!! Lindsay and her family loved our puppy like he was part of their family! We got daily updates and pictures and it felt great to know that our puppy was safe and having a blast while we were away!! I will definitely book again with Lindsay anytime we need help with our puppy!!”
“THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I would give a 10000 star review if possible. I cannot stress enough how great of a sitter Stephanie is. We are forever grateful for her and the loving care that she provided our puppy ❤️”
“Chad is always so pleasant and takes great care of my quirky dog Murphy. He sends plenty of updates and debriefs me on how the stay went. Murphy always comes home tuckered out after a weekend of fun. I highly recommend booking with Chad!”
“Angie and her family have watched my dog a couple of times, and it’s very clear she and the kids give him all the attention and care he needs. During our most recent stay, we had a snow storm, that delayed our pick up, and Angie was understanding and responsive. Thanks Angie!”
“Ohara and her family took great care of our baby dog! He was so happy and content all the time in the pictures. We are very thankful for the love and care you gave Levi and would come back again. Thank you!”
“Kelsey took such great care of our pup! She was communicative, kind, and clearly cared for him like he was her own. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter!”
“We left our pug with Sherri and her family and were so happy we did! Sherri took exceptional care of our pet and we could tell that she was in such good hands. I highly recommend Sherri. She was exceedingly conscientious and caring and Junebug came back to us happy and healthy!!”

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!
Megan was so amazing. We dropped our cat Pepperoni off at her place and we knew she would be in good hands for our trip. We got pictures and videos and daily updates about pepperoni. It was such a nice feeling knowing that someone was taking good care of her. Thank you Megan for loving our pepperoni 😺
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in East Grand Rapids on Rover is $41.73 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 519 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
