“Wow, Marissa is the best. We got photos frequently and reports of how our furry friend was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with our crazy work schedules. Best sitter ever!”
“Thank you Felix for taking such good care of my boy. He sent me videos throughout my trip that made me so happy to see my Ollie having a good time. We already have our next stay booked.”
“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”
“Ru was amazing with our dog Max. She sent us pictures and opened her home when we had a last minute need. Thank you so much. Without any hesitation we would use her again.”
“We were SO pleased with how Erin and Brian took care of Willow! Even with little quirks that Willow had, they were willing to adjust to make her comfortable. We would highly recommend them to watch your fur babies.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Jenn was amazing with our pup! This is the longest we have ever left him & I never was worried about him! I missed him for sure but that was helped with updates & pictures from Jenn! I also had so many changes I had to make to my boarding because of not knowing when our flights were going to be exactly & Jenn was so happy to help. My dog also ended up being on a 5 day course of antibiotics & she had no problem giving them to him. She was understanding of the whole situation. She was also very understanding with our pick up time not being set in stone because we were coming from the airport! I will forever recommend her & continue to use her for when we need a sitter!”
“Stephanie took my dogs pretty last minute. I had absolutely no worries about them while we were gone. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Thank you so much for watching Gus and Theo! They loved their stay and we loved all of the updates, photos, and videos sent! Thank you for making us feel so comfortable while we were away. We can’t wait for them to stay with you again!!”
“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!”
“We were apprehensive about a long stay with a vacay out of the country. So we decided on a meet/greet overnight to be sure Alexandra’s household was a good fit for our sweet but sometimes sassy girl:) From the start, Alexandra was so warm and welcoming. And to our relief, our dog got along with hers and they’ve since had a 13 night stay together. Alexandra sent some cute pics and kept us updated. She is such a lovely person and was able to put our minds at ease. She took great care of our dog and we will definitely book with her again. Ohhh….the fenced backyard is a bonus cuz our dog LOVES to run! 😊”
“Katherine was great with our pup Sunny. She came home tired and worn out. I got pictures and updates regularly and she was quick to respond. Easy to communicate with about drop off and pick up! Would recommend!”
“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!!”
“Pam always take awesome care of Mila and we feel at ease knowing Mila is living her best life. Extra big shout out to Pam for being flexible on our recent stay. The morning of pickup, I had to take my wife to the ER and Pam didn’t even hesitate and let Mila stay over until we got my wife taken care. She is great to work with.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Rapids
Luna had a fantastic 2 night stay with Jacy! Jacy communicated the whole weekend with pictures and updates since we have an anxious Aussie. The first night she was understandably nervous and not eating much but Jacy kept offering her food and treats. By the second day she started eating and was seeming much more calm about her stay. She was excited to go home but was happy and tired! We'll continue to use Jacy for all of Luna's pet stays in the future! Thank you Jacy for taking great care of our girl!
Kate was AMAZING! She was quick to communicate the little details, she not only watched our dog Ziggy, but really made him part of her family! When she wasn’t sure on a special treat she asked first which we really appreciated and she sent pictures of our healthy thriving boy!!! We will absolutely book with Kate again- she really goes above and beyond!
Marissa did a fantastic job watching our dog over the weekend! She was great with communication and sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout his stay. She made him feel very comfortable and it was clear that she gave him plenty of attention and care. There was one slight issue where he swallowed something he wasn’t supposed to, but Marissa acted very quickly and communicated with us right away, which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience with Marissa and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog!
We had a dog sitter lined up for a long trip that fell through a month beforehand. We're so happy we found Renee! We have two dogs with different quirks and were nervous about leaving them with a new sitter for a longer trip, but after meeting Renee she put us and our pups at ease! They were instantly comfortable around her. She provided lots of updates and it looks like our pups had a blast. Would not hesitate to book with Renee again or recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Grand Rapids on Rover is $51.06 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 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 September 2026, there are 513 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.
92% 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.
