“I had a great experience boarding my pup for a few days with Victoria & Rishi. They were responsive to my chats and friendly when dropping off and picking up my dog. I would recommend and board with them again!”
“One of my favorite local Rover watchers! Clean environment for my dog and great at communicating while she is staying there. Reasonable price and is very friendly. Always my first choice!”
“MICHELLE IS AMAZING!! She has house sat, done drop ins and has boarded our dog many times. She is so thoughtful and compassionate towards dogs. She has a huge fenced in yard that my dog loves. Michelle sends pictures and a daily review of activities and opinions of how my dog or her dog are viewing the visit. I laugh and look forward to reading the fun and lively updates. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for any dog sitting needs!”
“Jacqueline did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. She provided regular updates with photos and videos of his stay. I was pleased to know he was in safe hands and being cared for. Will use Jacqueline’s services again.”

“Ziggy loves boarding with Mandy 😊 She sends daily pics and updates, which is so relieving and it’s nice to see him enjoying his stay while I’m away. She is flexible, responsive, and takes great care of Ziggy. Thanks Mandy!”

“Brooke is Awesome and we are so Blessed to have found her for our Sparky !!!!! We have booked with her 5 times over the past year and the most recent trip Sparky stayed with Brooke for 13 nights. It is so comforting to know Sparky is loved and very well taken care of !!!! We look forward to our daily updates and pictures that Brooke always sends us showing Sparky happy and having fun with Brooke, her husband Ben and their puggles Buddy and Tobi !!!! Sparky has separation anxiety but each time she stays with Brooke, Sparky adapts easier and quicker ?!!! Sparky's first couple stays with Brooke were doggy day care. When we booked Sparky's first overnights, Brooke was so very flexible and kind to agree to stay in our home overnight with Sparky for 2 nights and then transitioned Sparky to her home for the remaining 3 nights to help Sparky ease into staying away from home with her anxiety for the first time. With Brooke's help Sparky is a champ now and each drop off is easier !!!!! We are so Thankful for Brooke and her Family !!!!!!”
“Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our Great Dane mix, Rosemary, with Christine. She got lots of walks, attention, and love, and we really appreciated all the photos and updates throughout her stay. It was clear that Rosemary was well cared for and treated like part of the family. We would absolutely recommend Christine and would happily board Rosemary with them again!”
“Alice B. Is the best dog sitter. Alice’s care translates to the pet owner that Alice cares for your pet as if she is the owner. Alice sent pictures of my 4legged baby every day and kept me updated. I was able to enjoy my visit with family because Alice B. Gave me so much comfort.”
“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“Julie did an excellent job caring for my dog. This was my first experience boarding my dog through Rover. I will definitely try to book with Julie in the future. She sent text updates with pictures and videos. Thank you so much, Julie!”
“Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!”
“Kim is a fantastic pet sitter who cares for my fur baby exceptionally well. She is friendly, trustworthy, and caring. This is already our third visit, and my dog has enjoyed his stay each time.”

Chris gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. He was confident and poised when it came to caring for our busy puppy, which made it so much easier on us to leave her in his and his family's care. We received beautiful pics of our dog playing and snuggling, and reassurance that she was doing well regularly.
We don’t leave Lincoln very often so we were very happy with her level of comfort with Michaela. She came home happy and Michaela said she was great during her stay. If we need care for our dog again, we will definitely be happy with booking Michaela in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Okemos on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 280 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Okemos. 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 Okemos 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 Okemos 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 Okemos 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 Okemos.
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 Okemos 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.
