“This was Fergus’ first time with Felix and I felt assured the whole time that he was in good hands. The photos & videos were great & I could tell Fergus was having a good time. Highly recommend”
“I would definitely recommend Melvin and Sean! This was our first time leaving our baby Charlie. As someone who deals with anxiety it wasn't an easy thing for me to do. However they made me feel completely at ease and assured me that he was safe and well taken care of. The photo updates they sent throughout the stay helped so much and truly gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they provided! We will definitely use them again.”
“Ruth took great care of my anxious Toy Aussie! She sent several photos and updates of my pup and made sure she was well taken care of. Ruth responded in a timely manner and the communication was easy. I would let my pup stay with Ruth again!”
“Dan is great! He watched our 3 year old golden retriever, Jerry, in his home for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our pup. Jerry was able to play with another doggo, run around a fenced in backyard, and hang out with both Dan and his son. Dan was also an excellent communicator, and he took on our booking after a last second change in our travel plans. We will not hesitate to book with Dan again in the future. A+++”
“Sarah made drop off and pick up smooth and accommodating. Dog was happy at pick up and seemed to have awesome stay and socializing times with other dogs. Sarah will be the first choice the next time we need the dog sitter.”
“Renee always does a great job for us. She’s very dependable and communications with her are prompt and helpful. We can rest easy knowing Renee will take excellent care of Chewie while we are away!”
“I've written a few great reviews about Jenn but this last stay she really went above and beyond. Due to some winter storms and travel complications I was delayed 21 hours coming home from a short business trip. While my time stuck in an airport was anxiety inducing wondering whether or not Piper was okay was not one of the factors. Not only did I know Piper was happy and safe where she was but Jenn was very responding and completely understanding. I'm so glad we've found Jenn through Rover - Piper's home away from home!”
“Megan is very accommodating and easy to coordinate with! She is very active and keeps the pets busy playing. My pup always has a great time and comes home nice and tired!”
“Molly was extremely flexible, thoughtful, and took amazing care of our dog overnight. Her place is lovely and our dog was instantly comfortable. Her dog is very sweet and calm. Would book here 100% anytime we are in Grand Rapids!”
“Jenna is amazing! She was ultra responsive when it came to booking and she made it super easy. The boys absolutely loved her and had a great time. They came home all tuckered out. We can’t wait to see her again!”
“I am completely at ease when we leave our german shorthair pointer with this family. We get plenty of updates and it looks like Daisy gets plenty of playtime with their pet and plenty of attention from the humans. The second time we brought her there she ran right up to the house like she remembered the good memories she made there the last time.”
“Tatyana took care of Sam with very little advanced notice. The plethora of pictures made me see how well Sam was doing in her care. I will definitely consider her for future stays.”
“Jacob took excellent care of Kumi while I was away. She got plenty of exercise, friends to play with, and treats. I received regular updates accompanied with photos and video that put me at ease. She was boarded for 3 weeks and I would completely trust Jacob with her care again.”
“David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!”
“Our pups were so happy with Dan and Kelly! They kept us updated with photos and videos and could tell they were well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Susan was a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog Brody had a great time. We love that she has a fenced in yard. She provided updates and photos. We were at ease knowing Brody was in good care.”
“Pam is fabulous and our dog had the best time at her house full of other furry friends! Pam sent several photos and updates each day, ensuring that Taco was being well cared for and having a good time. Our dog came home exhausted after a weekend playing with the other dogs, chasing squirrels around the yard, and searching for the coziest spot in Pam’s house. We’ll definitely rebook Pam in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Rapids
Thank you for taking such good care of Scarlett. I felt confident that she would be treated well and given the same love like your own. Purchasing more snacks for her was above and beyond anything that I hoped for. So thoughtful, so gracious. I appreciate you so much. We will be back soon!
We had to travel to Brazil for 15 days to renew our visa, and we were nervous about leaving Lola with someone. Thankfully, Sarah was amazing—very flexible, kind, and attentive to Lola’s needs. She made the whole experience smooth and worry-free. We truly appreciate her and will absolutely bring Lola back to stay with her again
Shelby, her husband and dog Soma took amazing care of Moose while we were out of the country. Daily updates showed him going on adventures every day and that he had settled in with their daily life easily. I wasn't sure he would want to come back home since he was having so much fun! I had zero concerns that Moose was being taken care of. They treated him like part of the family. I would not hesitate to book again. 💜
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Grand Rapids
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 523 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Grand Rapids. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
91% of Grand Rapids sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Grand Rapids 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 Grand Rapids 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 Grand Rapids.
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 Grand Rapids 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.
