“Kristen is a 5-star sitter! As a first-time user and owner of a nervous Golden Retriever, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were communicative, caring, and made Katz feel comfortable immediately. Highly recommend for anyone with a “shy or anxious pup!"”
“Amazing, definitely highly recommend. Our dog and cat are very social and need a lot of attention and they were very happy and comfortable from the start. Very responsive, friendly, provided a lot of updates and pictures. We found our go to for any future need for watching our pets.”
“Shivambika was very responsive when our dog was with her for three days. We received updates daily and our dog was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Diane took wonderful care of Rosie for us. You can tell she truly loves caring for fur babies. Her very large fenced in back yard is wonderful for safe outdoor play time. She texted pictures and responds very quickly to texts which gave me great piece of mind knowing our pup was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use Diane in the future!”
“This was our first time having Lia & Jonathan watch our dog, Ringo. His stay at their home exceeded our expectations. Ringo had a great time on their large property and went for walks regularly. There was daily communication with photos and videos so we could see how he was doing. It was a great immersive experience for him playing with the other dogs for the week, and he's definitely tired... in a good way! We have already rebooked!”
“Chelsie took great care of my little guy, Finn. I met her before my trip and felt comfortable leaving him with her right away. You can tell she put a lot of thought and love into making her home a great place for dogs to stay. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Finn was in good hands. I'll definitely board him with Chelsie again.”
“Great communication and flexibility, beautiful home, and well cared for pets of their own made me feel at ease with leaving Maeve for a week (the longest ever!). Highly recommend their services!”
“We had a wonderful experience leaving Rosie with Lyndsey and Justin for vacation. They were close to home, took one dog at a time, and gave us updates and cute pictures. Thank you very much!”
“This was one of the best experiences I have had while using rover. She regularly sent updates and pictures which was great to see. Her and her family took wonderful care of my dog, taking him on many walks, playing, and just relaxing. I cannot put into words how much peace of mind it provided and how sweet it was that they cared for my senior dog in all the perfect ways. Thank you so much!”
“Winston came home a happy dog! He was well cared for. They loved all of his quirky habits. Having him stay at a place where he was comfortable allowed us to have more fun on our vacation.”
“Andrew and his wife were incredible! Super friendly, took our pup for plenty of walks and showed her lots of love. I really appreciate their attention to detail and care. Will definitely be using them in the future!”
“Couldnt be happier with love and care provided to our Daisy. Daily pics/ videos of both playing in yard and quiet time put our mind at ease. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Cheri and her family were warm and welcoming of Vinnie! She gave plenty of pupdates during the stay. He was well taken care of with treats and toys and had a great time! I felt at ease while he was away knowing he was getting the best!”
“Eunju was very caring for my senior dog Lemon and gave her TLC. She provided photos and updates and was understanding and accommodating. Lemon was in good spirits and very relaxed when we picked her up. I hope that Eunju will be available in the future to care for Lemon. Thank you, Eunju.”
“Bella recieved excellent care during her stay enjoying walks and company of other pets. Annmarie was able to get Bella settled in comfortably and kept us updated. Highly recommended and Bella has now found a second home.”
“Carolina was absolutely amazing with Dixie. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in caring and capable hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and gave so much love and attention to my Dixie —it was clear she genuinely care about dogs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a tidy space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”
“Laura and Joe were beyond my expectations! This was my first time having her stay with people outside my family and I couldn’t have had a better experience. They updated me throughout my weekend away and cared for her more than I could have asked. My girlie had a cyst on her tail that popped on her visit, and not only did they keep it clean, they wanted a follow up after. I wasn’t sure if Bella was going to want to come home after her visit… and my daughter even wanted to stay because they are that sweet and caring! I would recommend them over and over again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Imlay City on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 740 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Imlay City. 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.
95% of Imlay City 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 Imlay City 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 Imlay City 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 Imlay City.
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 Imlay City 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.
