“Kim was great with our pup. He came home very happy. Trusting someone you don’t know well with part of your family isn’t easy. But from the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew instantly he would be loved and cared for. I had no fears leaving him and would absolutely recommend Kim as a sitter/boarder. My family does a lot of traveling and I would be more than pleased to have her watch him again!”
“My older lab had a great time with Burgandy! I really appreciated the great communication, photo updates, and schedule flexibility! Looks forward to using Burgandy again!”
“Ralph was great! I felt very confident leaving my elderly dog with him. He was able to administer eyedrops and oral medication to her and I never had any doubt that she was in good hands. I would absolutely re-book with him. :)”
“Kathy was very patient, loving, & understanding with my 12 yr dog Rocki. It was wonderful to know he was safe & secure with reassuring pictures & notes she sent. Her dog Kiri was so calm & welcoming to mine. We are So blessed to have found them. Rocki's missing them already 🥰”
“Dog had a great time. Easy drop off and easy pick up. Kayti is very nice and very professional. Didn’t have to worry about anything while we were good. Seemed to be in good hands after dropping off!”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“Bella loves going to Jessica’s house (we wonder if she really wants to come home). She is treated like her own. It’s so nice to leave her and know she is so well taken care of! ❤️”
“Alisha was very communicative and sent many updates and pictures. From the pictures, it was clear our pup was comfortable and making herself right at home! We will be leaving our pup with Alisha again!”
“Michelle did an excellent job watching my puppy Levi. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated every time I texted her. (Which was A LOT) I could definitely tell Levi enjoyed playing with the other dogs and her two girls. She also took time to bathe levi before coming home so he definitely was happy, clean and tired when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone who needs an animal sitter.”
“Just picked up our girl Remi from a wonderful experience with Jerri and Rover. She is definitely a dog lover and took great care of Remi. She kept in contact with me on how Remi was doing as this was our first time using Rover. I would highly recommend Jerri to take special care of your pet. She exceeded my expectations! Remi recieved a swag bag and a doggie neck bandana with her name embroidered on it too. Thank you Jerri for taking care of our special girl.”
“Kelly honestly couldn’t have been better with our Maya. Maya is 18 yrs old and has a few special considerations. Kelly made our little buddy feel right at home, sent us pics and updates on what she was doing, how she was settling in and Maya even made some little friends along the way. Do not hesitate to let Kelly host your dog. She was absolutely the best we could have asked for.”
“Lynda and her husband Walter took great care of our two dogs. She made it a priority to send pictures and videos at least every day. The dogs came home tired so we know they thoroughly enjoyed their time. We would trust them again in the future! Thank you for taking great care of our babies!”
“Nikki was absolutely amazing!! She not only cared for our Stella but calmed all my worries about leaving her. Nikki has a true compassion for animals and it shows. Thank you Nikki for taking such good care of our baby girl!”
“She was kind and loving with my 2 big girls, and even tho there were some accidents (not used to a home without a doggy door) she was kind and understanding. She also sent frequent pics and updates so I didn't worry. 10/10 would recommend.”

Kim was absolutely wonderful with our beagle. She went above & beyond to make him feel at home. He is naturally nervous & anxious but had zero problems staying at her home. He even got along nicely with her dog. I would definitely recommend Kim as a sitter for your fur baby. We’ll be using her again! A+++ 🌟🌟🌟

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Essexville on Rover is $36.49 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 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 August 2026, there are 87 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Essexville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Essexville 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 Essexville.
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 Essexville 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.
