“Kiana was amazing She make sure she sent lot of updates along with pictures! Kiana understood how hard is was for me to leave my baby for the first time and keep me at ease! She is definitely part of the family now! Anytime I have to travel I know he'll be okay with his now "Auntie" ...lol”
“Christopher was our first pet sitter and he exceeded all of our expectations. He kept our puppy busy and happy while we were away. We also got updates and photos practically daily which was so encouraging! We couldn’t have had a better experience.”
“I honestly was worried about leaving Lilly for the first time with anyone other than a family member that she knew, never having done it before. Patty invited us over for a meet and greet before Lilly stayed there so we could get her familiar with everything. Then Patty did a great job making her feel at home during her stay so that Lilly acted totally normal when I picked her up just like she was hanging out with old friends while I was gone. I would definitely ask Patty again.”
About: Hi, I’m Jessica! I was born and raised in Montague, MI and love everything about it. I have four crazy dogs, four wonderful cats, two guinea pigs, and a 7 year old son. I have 10 years of animal experience, working at two Muskegon County animal shelters and as a vet assistant. I am licensed and insured through my personal business, Muskegon's Poopin Scoopin LLC. With my knowledge, experience, and above all passion; I guarantee the best service possible. I'm currently working part time during the week, so I have extra time to love on your furry friend! I do most of my pet sitting without my son but if you have a pet that loves children, my son would love to join. Your home is my home and I will take care of your home as so. In my home, your pet can have free access to outside with the doggy door. All cats are kept separate from the dogs. All dogs are fed separately. Detailed lists of your pets routine are helpful to ensure each pet is cared for to your expectations.
“Michelle was exceptional. We were in a last minute bind and found Michelle on Rover and Michelle’s Muddy Paws LLC. She provided exceptional care for our 5 yr old Springer Spaniel, Scarlett. Scarlett enjoyed her daily walks in the woods, the special TLC of the fam, and the comfort of having such awesome doggies companions. I would use her services anytime and highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Daniel immediately hit it off with my boy Blue, normally Blue likes people but as soon as Daniel took his leash he was see ya later Dad. Daniel sent updates and pictures which I wasn’t expecting but appreciated. Also I loved the fact that blue got lists of exercise to to point he sleep for 12 hours. Highly recommend Daniel.

“Derek did a great job watching our dog for a week. He has an awesome place with a nice fenced in back yard. We felt totally comfortable leaving our dog with him and will use him again in the future.”
About: I’ve owned multiple dogs during my life and come with 11 years in dog care expertise. From puppies to seniors and from small to large dogs. I can provide you and your furry friend with walks, visits, baths, boarding, and overnight care. I’m a teacher and am currently off for the summer, so my schedule is completely flexible to best suit you and your furry friend’s needs! I have a fenced in patio and a friendly puppy to keep your furry friend company. I’m also able to accommodate any crating needs if necessary.
About: Experienced with all kinds of dogs. I grew up with an 8lb maltese and went to boarding school where I frequently took care of a golden doodle and a pitbull/boxer puppy. Spent a summer with my brothers dog (pitbull mix), dogsat 2 older dogs for a summer (golden and mini doodle) and also have some experience taking care of cats. I’ve had experience with over hyper dogs and anxious dogs so I know how to adjust their environment to make them most comfortable. I live in a small apartment but I am right next to a park and enjoy exercising/being outside. I am currently working Monday through Friday from 7-4:30 so I am not generally available till 5:30 on a weekday. I’m available on the weekends! I have no pets of my own so your pet will be getting my full attention. I live down the road from a large park and there are many walking paths nearby. For overnights, I do have a smaller apartment so I wouldn’t want to take any dogs larger than ~40lbs as it likely would not be enough room for them.
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 did an amazing job watching our baby. She made me feel comfortable and Sutton warmed up to her very fast. I highly recommend her and will be using again. Sutton I think misses Jamie’s family as well now that we have her home!”
“Christoper was fantastic with our two dogs. We use rover regularly and he has been one of the best so far. We had to book last minute for a trip to GA and he was nothing but helpful. We got regular updates and felt like the dogs were in great hands while we were miles away. They came back to us happy and in probably in better shape than when we left them. Highly recommend Christopher and his kids.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Muskegon on Rover is $44.4 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 186 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 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.
100% of Muskegon 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 Muskegon 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 Muskegon 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 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 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.
