About: I have had various pets of my own my entire life including dogs, cats, and reptiles so I have worked with all these at various ages and with all different needs. I am currently studying zoology in school, specifically animal behavior, so I am also currently gaining more education with working with animals in that way as well. I am currently a student and I work part time but I am never gone for more than 4-6 hours at a time and I do a lot of work from home so all pet care would be given plenty of time and attention for any animal in my care. I also already make time for personal exercise to be out and about so that time transitions to walks or time in the park to get out energy. I currently live in a one-bedroom apartment with just me so any pet would get plenty of space to exhibit whatever boundaries they need without interference of other animals or people. I also live very close to various parks that have fenced in areas for dogs and walking trails to walk or run on whenever they need
“Alexandra and her family spoiled my dog with attention in the best way possible. Alexandra gave me frequent updates and photos so I could know my dog was in great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a safe, fun, welcoming home for their doggo to crash at!”
“Alice was amazing with our pup! Her house and yard set up is perfect to allow dogs to run and play. Alice was very communicative and patient as this was our first Rover experience. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for and safe while we enjoyed a Michigan State game. Will definitely use Alice again and highly recommend her! Her dog is also super sweet and friendly.”
“I can't say enough good things about Stephanie W.! She did an amazing job watching my Rottweiler, Rocky. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care—she’s top-notch!"”
“Lauren and her sister, Geneva, were so amazing when caring for our 2 adult cats! They were loving, great with providing pictures, offered solid, clear communication, and were so incredibly flexible when we needed to make changes to our reservation! We can tell our girls had a great time and were so loved while we were away!”
“My dog Duke’s visit with Ann was very good. She regularly sent pictures and updates, and took very good care of my fur baby. Ann said they had a nice time watching Duke. I will book with them again when the need arises. Thank you, Ann!”
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“We don’t leave Lincoln very often so we were very happy with her level of comfort with Michaela. She came home happy and Michaela said she was great during her stay. If we need care for our dog again, we will definitely be happy with booking Michaela in the future.”
“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Cari has 5 star reviews for a reason! She loves your pet so you can travel without worrying. Our Frenchie has a lot of personality and is kinda spoiled so finding the right fit for everyone is important. Cari is my first time booking a pet sitter via Rover and it was pretty easy and straightforward process. Axl and Kari will have an extended stay soon.”
“KellyAnna was awesome to work with. Quick to respond initially. She was gracious enough to let us come over and get acquainted. My first visit I wasn't able to bring my dog with me. I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!”
“Madison was amazing, my Little dog Benny just loved her. She took him for lots of walks which he loves. I feel she took excellent care of my dog. She sent me pictures everyday and made me feel so comfortable I could enjoy my vacation and not worry about Benny.”
“Rylee was taken care of and so happy when I picked her up. I didn't have to worry at all on my trip. I appreciate that even though it was last minute ask, it didn't matter. Im so grateful to Reana for taking good care of Rylee.”
“My dog’s first boarding with Baleigh was a success! She had stayed for doggie daycare many times, but not an overnight. She loves playing with Baleigh’s dogs and had a great time. I appreciated Baleigh sending me pictures and keeping me updated. Sadie was tired and content when I picked her up.”
“Our first time using an in-home boarding, must say that we were apprehensive about leaving our puppy with someone…but WOW! We feel SO fortunate to have found Val and Theresa for Vero (& us)! They are a wonderful combination of being knowledgeable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about dogs; providing such a nurturing environment. We cannot wait to use them again- already have the next stay booked! Thank you!!”
About: Hi there! My name is Taniya and I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for the past 4 years for families in my neighborhood. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine I absolutely love dogs! I have a sweet pup of my own named Pepper. She’s a 2 year old toy poodle and Yorkie mix with a big personality in a small body! While she stays at home with my mom, I bring all that love and experience with me when I care for other fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, a walk, or just some cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work at Michigan State University, but my schedule is flexible, and I’m available Monday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and cuddles! If you’re located near MSU’s campus, you’re in luck there are so many beautiful trails and green spaces I can take your dog to for fun, safe, and enriching walks. I’m all about making sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, some fresh air, or a long walk to burn off energy, I’m here to help. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel at ease. In my client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely from feeding schedules and walk times to any special care needs. I always make sure pets feel loved, whether that means extra belly rubs, playtime, or simply keeping them company. If I’m caring for a pet in my own home, I make sure they have a cozy, safe space to relax. I keep a clean, pet-friendly environment and offer plenty of attention, walks, and play throughout the day. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Lansing
Priscena was absolutely wonderful with my cat! She is incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I could tell that she really cared about pet and enjoyed spending time with him, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and pictures every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She was also super flexible and accommodating when I needed to change the drop-off time, which I really appreciated. Priscena is such a kind and responsible cat sitter, and I would absolutely trust her with my pet again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for and love their cat!
Christine was fabulous with our dog, Tillie! Tillie can sometimes be a little nervous and it was easy to see in the many pictures that Christine sent that Tillie warmed up to her very quickly! She gave her a lot of personal attention and walks. When we picked her up, it was clear Tillie had bonded with Christine during her 5 day stay with her. We feel very lucky to have found her!
Chris gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. He was confident and poised when it came to caring for our busy puppy, which made it so much easier on us to leave her in his and his family's care. We received beautiful pics of our dog playing and snuggling, and reassurance that she was doing well regularly.
We don’t leave Lincoln very often so we were very happy with her level of comfort with Michaela. She came home happy and Michaela said she was great during her stay. If we need care for our dog again, we will definitely be happy with booking Michaela in the future.
This was the first time using Rover and Alex was just a great choice. She and her family were delightful, sending me pics and keeping me posted. It was a great decision to opt for personal care rather than a kennel. She was flexible, and I would seek her services again based on the good vibes.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in East Lansing on Rover is $42.18 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 252 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Lansing. About 93% of East Lansing 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.
