“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.”
About: I grew up with a shetland sheepdog and medium haired house cat. As an adult I've walked large and small dogs of different breeds. I have boarded and pet sat at owners house with dogs that needed meds or had special needs. I currently work part-time Monday to Thursday. This leaves me with plenty of time to spend taking care of your dogs, whether walking or playing. I have a fenced yard and no animals of my own. If I need to crate (you have to supply) your dog, then my house has plenty of space.
“My pups loved their weeklong stay with Janelle (and Kevin!)! Janelle went above and beyond with my somewhat “special needs” and raw fed dogs (a puppy and a CHF dog with a strict medication administration routine). Despite a week of nasty humid and stormy weather, Janelle managed to get them outside to play when it cleared up, but they were also content snuggling or napping. I was sent daily reports and pictures. My dogs usually take a bit to warm up to strangers, but this was not the case with Janelle- they were immediately comfortable and returned home happy and well fed. This is the second time with her and I won’t trust anyone else to care for them moving forward!”
“Had a great experience with Megan! She was so sweet and took great care of my cat while I was away. She was very accommodating. She sent picture updates of my cat too. I couldn’t have asked a better person to watch my cat :)”
“Renee and her dog Dutch were wonderful. She sent videos and pictures. Kiowa had a great time. He had lots of exercise and really enjoyed playing with Dutch. Renee took great care of him. Lots of walks and trips to the dog park. Will be using Renee again.”
“Brenda did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog. My dog has epilepsy and he was so comfortable at her house she had no problems. I recommend Brenda to everyone. My dog got walks and lots of love. She received her medication on time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“My husband and I had to go out of town for a quick sat-sun trip and Kristina made us feel so comfortable leaving Mabel with her. She shared several photos throughout the weekend and we appreciated the one on one care she gave to our puppy. We hope to book with her again in the future! 😄”
“Lauryn is amazing! I had another sitter cancel on me a few days before I was leaving for a month. She is a life saver 2 days before my trip she said she could take in my cat and my dog. She has pets of her own so I believe it was a great fit. She walked him everyday sent loads of updates. Very happy! ❤️”
“Teri went above and beyond to make sure our dog was loved, cared for, and comfortable. Their thoughtfulness, attention, and genuine care gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s such a relief knowing our dog was in such good hands. We truly appreciate everything you did and recommend to anyone looking for someone who treats their pet like family!”
“David is always phenomenal with my dog! He sends regular updates and follows all the care needs. He communicates well and is flexible when needed! Highly recommend!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hamilton is $65 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 420 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hamilton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Hamilton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hamilton home-away-from-home, 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 Hamilton.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Hamilton 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 , 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 .
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.
