“Ellie stayed with Patty as our regular sitter was unavailable. Ellie can be a bit of a handful as she is very energetic, talkative and quite the foodie. She also needs meds for allergies. Patty had no problems taking care of Ellie and she came home exhausted from playing with Patty's own puppy. We also got a picture update of Ellie while we were gone.”
“I’m so grateful that Marigold and Darla took care of Norman while we were on Spring Break! He was very tired when we got home. They sent pictures every day. That eased my mind. They have a great back yard and take the dog’s safety and security very seriously.”
“So happy we found Melissa to care for our two boys! We had a week long vacation and it was their first time staying with her. She was so great about sharing updates with us, it put us at ease! Melissa is clearly a dog person and just gets it 😊 Our pups got along great with her dogs and left in good spirits. Would definitely use her again for future care!”
“My dog Bruno seemed to enjoy his stay. He loves other dogs and people. Gentry was very welcoming and very much a dog lover. She sent pictures for reassurance, which I really appreciated.”
“It was an amazing stay for our pet. We had to find a sitter last minute and Melissa was incredibly welcoming and helpful. She took wonderful care of our dog and even took her on adventures (walks, fishing, and sunbathing on the spacious patio). I can’t recommend this experience enough!”
About: I don’t have “professional” pet sitting experience but I do have personal experiences. My grandmother had puppies that I helped caring for them. She had two shih Tzu puppies that I loved like they were my own. Sadly, they both passed away around the same time. I know how important it is to take care of your pets because pets are more like family than animals. So, I hope that you will trust me enough to take care of your family. I will listen to what you need to me to do. I can be flexible and go beyond the call of duty if necessary. I am open to learning whatever is necessary to be a great caretaker. I hope you choose me. Thank you very much❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾. I work in the evenings. So, I’m free every morning. I can take your pet out for walks or dog sit overnight. My schedule can be flexible I can take your pet out for walks or I can dog sit at night. If your pet needs a companion, I can do that also

“Jamie and her family were fantastic and Pfeifer had a blast. Jamie kept me updated and shared photos of the fun Pfeifer was having. She kept her active and tuckered out as well as a welcome part of their family.”
“Christopher did an incredible job caring for Hachi. He kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was so reassuring to see Hachi happy, bonding with Jasi and the rest of his family. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to others looking for a reliable sitter!”
“OUTSTANDING!!!! We were so happy knowing that our dog was so well cared for. Michelle provided daily pictures and videos which made us so very happy knowing he was in good hands. He got more than enough exercise every day and just had a blast being there. We were afraid he wouldn't want to come home. Should we travel again we know where we want him to be and will definitely recommend Michelle to anyone we know who needs dog sitting services. We are just so very pleased and happy!!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Muskegon
Michelle was amazing with our very high energy lab puppy, Roland. We left him with her for a long afternoon/evening while we attended our nephew's wedding and he had a great time playing fetch and going on several long walks. So glad to have found such a wonderful and welcoming caretaker - we will definitely use her services again!
Paige is the BEST! She took magnificent care of our bulldog, Darla who requires a lot of attention and lovies. Paige sent daily reports, funny anecdotes about Darla’s and sweet pics of our pudgy princess. She’s also very attentive and gives expertise in her care. I would highly recommend her and hope to book her again. Thank you so much, Paige!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Muskegon is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $60 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 175 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Muskegon. 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.
99% of sitters in Muskegon 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 Muskegon 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 Muskegon.
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 Muskegon 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.
