“Kimberly was very informative from the moment she met Rylee. I appreciate how she sent updates throughout my week long trips. The photos she sent often put me at ease. Kimberly was very patient with Rylee as well. Thank you again for taking care of her!”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“Ellen was so attentive and accommodating with our dogs. One loves to play with other dogs and the other doesn’t. She juggled them and their needs and happiness with ease. We loved all the pictures she sent and could tell that they were as relaxed as possible while being away from home and our family for the weekend. Will definitely try to use Ellen again when we need a dog sitter if we can.”
“Rosemary always seems to have a great time and comes back happy. Chris is friendly and easy to work with - really happy to have a place we can count on to board Rose and know she's in great hands. Thank you!”
“Lashiya responded quickly and was great to communicate with. And I knew when I met her my dog would be in great hands! Thank you again for taking such great care of my big baby.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Thanks to Jason and Kristen for taking such great care of Chanel - - my one year old miniature golden doodle. They supplied daily updates and pictures. I would definitely book with them again.”
“So glad to have found Rishi and Victoria. Tino enjoys his stays there. We started with day sitting first and then overnights. They are always flexible and accommodating. Most important Tino gets lots of attention and neither of us have to feel anxious.”
“Lily had a great time with Olivia. We were away over 2 weeks and could tell that Lily felt safe. We knew she was well cared for. Lily developed an ear infection and Olivia handled the vet and giving Lily her meds which isn’t the easiest thing to do. When picking Lily up she was happy to see me but still ran back to Olivia to say goodbye which is always a good thing. We definitely will have Lily stay with Olivia again!”
“We boarded Lily with Kasey when she she a 1 year old rambunctious puppy and we were so happy with her care. Now, post Covid we were lucky Kasey was available once again. Lily is now a 5 year old and a lot calmer. We were gone for 10days and Lily fit in well with Gracie and Dilly (kasey’s dogs) we didn’t have a worry leaving Lily and are grateful for Kasey. She is a gem! Thanks Kasey!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4 years old, mainly my own until about age 11 when I started to help out taking care of family and friends dogs as well! I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, sit, and bathe their pets since then. I’m great with pets, and enjoy playing with them as well! I’m currently working a part time job that is very flexible. I typically work 8:30am-3pm Monday-Thursday, but I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pups needs. If your pup needs constant supervision I’m free Friday-Sunday for boarding! When I pet sit in my home it just depends on what the owner and pet is comfortable with. I’ll follow the instructions on how to care for their pet because each one if different. Each one will be cared for to my best ability!
“Haley provided EXCEPTIONAL care, from the meet and greet to Milo’s sleepover! I appreciated the attention to detail, communication and the picture you printed of Milo’s stay is now hanging on my fridge! THANK YOU for the special touches you provided. 💗”
“Stephanie was terrific! She kept great communication and was very attentive and gave the utmost care while watching my pitbull Dino while I was away. I felt confident leaving her to be responsible for him. She is reliable and trustworthy! Hope Dino can board again with her in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Alex and her wonderful family! They took such amazing care of my dog, Rose, and made her feel right at home. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave her, and I was so grateful for the updates and photos throughout her stay. Rose came back happy and relaxed, and I know she had a great time. I highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving sitter. I’ll definitely be booking 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.”
“Christine and Hendrik were both outstanding sitters for my Maltese, Kasie. Kasie is generally afraid of men, but she warmed up to Hendrik and loved them both very much. She was very happy there, and that's unusual for Kasie because she is so attached to us. I think she's going to miss them since we brought her home. They took great care of her. She was safe, secure, and having the time of her life at their wonderful home with a fenced back yard. I will book them again and again!”
“Crystal is the first rover sitter that kept both of my 7 month old puppies. I really appreciate the care that she showed towards my babies and would highly recommend and will request her again if she is available 🥰”

Kim is absolutely amazing! This is the second time we've used her and she'll always be our #1 choice. Our older dog got sick while we were away and she took him to the emergency vet to get treated on the weekend. She goes way beyond to treat our dogs as if they were her own. I cannot say enough good things about her and her quality of professionalism. Thank you, Kim, for taking such good care of our dogs.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 282 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.
