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!”

Highly recommend Christine and will definitely have her watch our pup if needed.”
“If you must leave your dog for the day, why let it be bored in a cage somewhere when they can stay with Theresa & Val at their incredible dog kingdom?! My dog had a blast! and was kept busy all day with obedience drills, walks, agility exercises, and miracle of all miracles! learning to sit calmly and not go ballistic around other dogs! (I kind of don't want to give Val & Theresa a good review because I want them always to be available for me and my dog!) What's more, they're magicians at getting good behavior out of my wild & crazy, rambunctious, energetic, outta control poochi pooh! Imagine my surprise to receive a video of my dog sitting calmly within feet of another dog, I shed tears of astonishment and joy! then more videos of her doing amazing feats of obedience and agility. It gives me such great peace when I have to leave my dog, knowing that my dog is in excellent, professional hands and that her needs and wellbeing is at the forefront of their minds. I also appreciate that they know cool tricks to teach my dog, and interesting ways to challenge her body & mind. Val & Theresa are truly amazing at their skill with dogs, they're all heart, and it means the world to me that my dog has a safe, exciting, stimulating place for her to go when I'm away. Beyond grateful to Val & Theresa!! <3 <3 but shhhhhh! please don't tell anyone!”
“Michaela did an excellent job taking care of our puppy! She sent pics and updates on our two days away from our new girl. She came home tired and enjoyed playing with the other pups. She also gave Riley a bath before sending her home. She was safe, happy and clean -- what more could anyone ask for? Thanks so much!”
“Absolutely fantastic! Richie is very professional and sent updates with great photos. Knowing that our dog was in a safe place AND that she was getting the enrichment and exercise that she needed made my partner and I feel so at ease while we had to be away.”
“We could tell right away that Brooke is a total dog person--our dog was immediately at ease with her and her two adorable dogs. She was in communication with us our entire trip and we could tell our dog was getting lots of love and attention, and that Brooke was keyed into her personality. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch our dog again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Lansing
We had a wonderful experience boarding our Great Dane mix, Rosemary, with Christine. She got lots of walks, attention, and love, and we really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout her stay. It was clear that Rosemary was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely recommend Christine and would happily board Rosemary with them again!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in East Lansing on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of September 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 264 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in East Lansing. About 95% 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.
