“Absolutely amazing. I've never boarded my dog before so I was nervous but I got pictures and updates and that put me at ease. And when I went to pick him up, he was like "Oh, Hi Mom! This place is great!" And tried to go back in the house! 😂😂😂 We will definitely be back. Thank you!”

Grand Rapids dog parents share their Rover experiences
Lisa did an excellent job watching Mac overnight. She was very welcoming of Mac into her home, and even provided him with treats and a little food topper. Mac is a stubborn eater and she was able to get him to eat both meals. She let Mac snuggle up in bed and gave him plenty of attention. Highly recommend Lisa for an overnight stay!
We had such a wonderful experience leaving our fur baby with Emily. From the moment we met, I knew my dog would be well loved and she was! The daily updates and pictures were great and I could tell she was so happy! She went for daily walks, exploring the neighborhood and backyard, and had fun playing with Emily’s dogs. I would highly recommend Emily and will be using her in the future.
