“We were nervous leaving our little pup for the first time. The care provider sent us pictures during her stay. Puppy was happy an well cared for during her stay. So comforting to now we have excellent options for puppy care.”
“Terry and his wife cared for our Winnie for four days. They kept us updated with texts and pictures, and Winnie seemed very happy and content. I’m sure he loved the attention and, of course, the big back yard to roam about. We would definitely never hesitate to leave Winnie with these nice folks.”
“This was Grace's first boarding experience. What a relief to know that she was well cared for. I received lots of pics and feedback. I highly recommend Susan!”
“Our pup was scheduled to stay with Tatyana over Memorial Day weekend. Last minute, we found out she was actually able to come up with us, so we no longer needed Tatyana to puppysit. Tatyana was AMAZINGLY understanding and incredibly flexible! She worked with us to figure out the best way to handle the reservation and I am so appreciative. If we ever need a puppysitter in the future, she will definitely be our go to! Thanks again Tatyana!”

Pet 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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Grand Rapids on Rover is $50.93 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 521 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Grand Rapids. About 93% of Grand Rapids 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.
