“Kristen took great care of Toffee while I was away for a few days! She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. I didn't have to worry about Toffee at all!”
“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
“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.”
“First time we used Rover.com and first time we were away from our dog. I think he had some anxiety but Lyndsey and Justin were great with the whole process.”
“Andrew was seriously the BEST! I was super nervous because I had never tried boarding my cat anywhere, but Andrew provided a great place for Tomato to spend the day...so much so I don't think he wanted to leave! 😅”
““Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bhairoo! We received so many photos and videos that it honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation 😄 Bhairoo is usually nervous around strangers, especially men, but he got comfortable so quickly and was happily following Jonathan around asking for pets and cuddles. Seeing our gentle giant so relaxed and happy meant everything to us. Highly recommend — caring, patient, communicative, and clearly amazing with dogs!””
“We had a great experience with them and we will definitely be using them again! They offer a really welcoming space for your pets and you can tell that they care about every one that they take care of. My dogs stayed with them and I could tell by the pictures they had a great time. They weren't even excited to see us when we picked them up after being gone for a week! I was slightly offended but so happy they enjoyed their stay.”
“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!”
“We had such a great support from Mayrannie. She sent us Dingdong's picture everyday and seemed Dingdong was also happy. Definitely we recommend Mayrannie. Fence wall is completely surrounded at her home and it's spacious so any energetic dog can be best fit. Mayrannie's dog Kiara is also very nice. We will ask her help again.”
“Jessica & Matt are amazing! They updated me everyday with photos and how my pup was doing. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dog sitter. Thank you again, to both of you for taking such good care of Charlie, I never worried once while I was gone, knowing he was in your care😊”
“I'm so happy to find you Diane. Diane followed my notes and suggestions to the letter. My Rocky was not stressed out, very calm, and relaxed this evening. I highly recommend Diane's services. Just praying she can always fit my boy into her scheduling. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my boy.”
“Can’t thank Cheri enough for taking such good care of Denali while we were out of town! She provided frequent updates and spoiled Denali with lots of playtime. It is nice to have someone you can trust with your pets while away. Will most definitely use Cheri again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“My 6 year old pitty mix stayed 7 days with Laura and Joe while I was away on vacation. I couldn’t have been more happy with the great loving care they provided for my dog. Laura sent frequent photos and updates daily to let me know my girl was enjoying her stay. Huge fenced yard to run and play ball. And lots of cuddles on the couch. I love that Laura only sits one pet family at a time. I highly recommend Laura and her husband Joe and will definitely contact her again when in need for a sitter for my girl.”
“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.”
“Beanie was so happy to stay with Teryn! She sent photos daily and was prompt to respond. Look forward to having our Pup stay with her in the future, it’s nice to have confidence she’ll be well cared for in the event of our absence. Thank you Teryn!”
About: I've had pets my entire life. It has been quite some time since I have owned a dog. I had the best dog of my life and since she passed away I don't think I can endure that loss again. However, I still crave interactions with man's best friend. I very recently lost my 19 year old kitty which has been difficult but I still have a 12yr old rescued cat with bad behaviors lol. I am experienced with providing oral medications and injections. I owned a diabetic cat that unfortunately died from cancer. I also have fish and cardene shrimp. I have cared for reptiles, birds, rats, mice, and other small furry friends. I am an RN but need to spend more time with critters to make my life more balanced and enjoyable. Sure, overtime as an RN pays better, but time spent with animals brings me joy. I have experience training both cats and dogs. I am a remote worker and therefore have a great deal of flexibility. Let me know your needs. I will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs. I keep my cat in the bedroom due to bad behaviors and extreme anxiety making it easy to care for another animal in our home if needed. I do not have a fenced yard but I live in a beautiful subdivision for long walks. I prefer to watch pets in their home to reduce anxiety but if your pet is very social and you prefer they stay in our home, our home is very pet friendly. Our whole family has cats and dogs and they always come to visit and get spoiled. Animals are allowed on furniture and run of our large home.
“Thank you Greta for taking care of our sweet boy. After meeting her, I knew he was in good hands and would be well taken care of. Taz is a 14 year old Morky that loves to be around people. Greta took great care of him and sent me pictures throughout his time with her. He doesn’t like to eat when he is not at home and she even tried to hand feed him❤️?. We definitely found the perfect sitter for our puppy whenever we come to Flint.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Imlay City on Rover is $41.63 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 727 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.
