“I was very happy with Kristen taking care of my dog! He had a safe space to run around and not take off and had playmates for the week. She sent us updates so we knew he was having a fun vacation also! Very accommodating with drop off and pick up 👍🏻”
“Lyndsey and Justin went above and beyond for our dog! I could tell from the first meeting that our dog was going to be in great hands! It certainly made our 10 days away much easier not having to worry about our girl! We received communication and many cute pictures of their young daughter giving our girl lots of love!! We Would highly recommend them for your dog, And we will certainly use them again! A huge thank you to this very sweet and loving family!”
“Jessica and Matt are AMAZING sitters! We could tell that they truly love dogs! They sent pics and updates daily and made us feel at ease about leaving our baby for 9 nights which is a record for us. We were fully able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about his safety or well being. We highly recommend them!”
About: Recently retired couple. Animal lovers. We've been dog owners (of all sizes) our entire lives. After the passing of our last dog, we're looking to spoil and love other's fur family members (so we can still have our dog fix) but also allow us time to enjoy our retirement years. Trust us to give your dog(s) a loving and stress free get away! We're retired and have a very flexible schedule. This allows us plenty of time to play and spend time with your dog(s). We're used to early morning potty calls, feeding schedules, and administering meds if needed. We live in the country on 5 acres. There's plenty of room for us to monitor your pup to walk, run, and explore. We want your dog to be relaxed, whether its a spot on the couch or in the comfort of their crate.
“Paula and Manny took great care of Bentley, my black lab mix. Paula sent videos and pictures often which allowed me to enjoy my vacation even more knowing Bentley was having fun too!”
“Amazing care for my Tito and highly recommend for any future care for your pets! She and her family made me and my family feel very comfortable and trusting for the safety and caring of our Tito in their home! I am very thankful! She will always be my go to for future stays!”
“Beth took excellent care of our dog, Ellie. She sent pictures and replied to our texts promptly. This is the first time in 6 years, since we adopted Ellie, that we have left her. After the meet and greet we had no problems leaving her with Beth”
“Teryn was professional, polite, and overall amazing. She gave updates every 1-2 days and whenever I asked. Our cats did amazing in her home and loved being there for our vacation. Teryn even went out of her way to help our cats coexist with each other! We will definitely be rebooking whenever our cats need a place to stay.”
“Great pet sitters! Jin and Brian, along with their sweet kids, took amazing care of my cat. They kept me updated with photos every day, played with him, and made sure his food and all of his conditions were perfect. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he had the best possible experience. This was my cat’s first time being around another cat since he was a few months old, so I was nervous at first since they already have a cat. But they handled everything so well — my cat was never scared and felt comfortable right away. I truly appreciated their care and attention. I definitely recommend them!”
“Eunju was amazing with Penny. She gave me daily detailed updates on her day. She sent ocurriere and videos. You can definitely tell Penny was enjoying her time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Sydney stayed with Krysia for a weekend. As she is an older dog and I was anxious about her having to do too many stairs. During our meet and greet session, Krysia asked great questions about Sydney’s personality and habits. She addressed my concerns about her doing too many stairs and willingly showed us her full house so we were assured Sydney would not be doing too many steps throughout the weekend. She had a fenced in yard which is exactly what we were looking for. Daily updates throughout the time in her care with new experiences reassured us that things were going well. I would use Krysia again and recommend her to others.”
“Margaret was an exceptional caretaker of our dog Macie. She doted on Macie with long morning walks and lots of pets. Beautiful natural setting. Macie was safe and happy. Macie will be back and highly recommend.”
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.
“Simon was part of their family for a week and that made us very happy. Thea shared pictures of him feeling right at home! We would highly recommend her to everyone who believes their dogs are part of their family!”
“I am incredibly grateful and humbled by the outstanding care Coryn and Kyle provided for my two dogs. They handled everything perfectly, from reliably administering medications to ensuring they got plenty of walks. What truly gave me peace of mind was their amazing communication; they kept me completely in the loop the entire time with frequent photos and video updates. It is clear they treated my pups like family, and they come highly recommended by myself for anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“Elaine is a wonderful dog sitter! Our dog spent 9 nights there and every photo she sent us he looked happy and “at home”. Her daily communication was excellent and made it so much easier to be away from him. She is professional, listens carefully to all special instructions, takes time to learn your dog’s personality and gives wonderful heartfelt care! I highly recommend Elaine!”
“Ted, was amazing — he watched Odin for us on very short and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We’ve gotten to know him and his dog Maizey in the neighborhood over time (Maizey’s always so friendly with other dogs!), and he’s just a genuinely kind person. He took Odin on regular walks, sent us photos throughout the stay, and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter!”
“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”
“Shivambika took care of my dog like her own. She sent me timely updates and kept me informed about my dog’s wellbeing. My dog was a little sad and wasn’t eating very well but Shivambika tried different things to make sure she eats well and she succeeded too. Her house is very clean and beautiful. I would definitely leave my dog there again.”
“Alexis is the absolute BEST! She watched our two dogs for 2 weeks while we were away for our wedding. We were so at ease knowing they were in such good care. Our dogs had the best time at Alexis’ and were actually sad to leave. Thanks so much, Alexis! Finn and Soph will definitely be back!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lapeer is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $69 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.

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.
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.
96% of sitters in Lapeer 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 Lapeer 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 Lapeer.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lapeer. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Lapeer 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
