“Erica watched our little Shih Tzu lady for eight days and sent us frequent pictures and videos so we could see how our pup was doing. Communication was easy and stress-free; we recommend her!”
“Alice was amazing with our pup! Her house and yard set up is perfect to allow dogs to run and play. Alice was very communicative and patient as this was our first Rover experience. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for and safe while we enjoyed a Michigan State game. Will definitely use Alice again and highly recommend her! Her dog is also super sweet and friendly.”
“Sara was so wonderful! Our dog Jovie stayed with her for a long weekend when our plans changed and needed a sitter on short notice. She was so accommodating on meeting beforehand and Jovie took to her well. She got lots of walks and extra love with Sara. Jovie came home happy and we were so grateful to have lots of updates and photos during our trip for ease of mind! Thanks Sara!”
About: I have had various pets of my own my entire life including dogs, cats, and reptiles so I have worked with all these at various ages and with all different needs. I am currently studying zoology in school, specifically animal behavior, so I am also currently gaining more education with working with animals in that way as well. I am currently a student and I work part time but I am never gone for more than 4-6 hours at a time and I do a lot of work from home so all pet care would be given plenty of time and attention for any animal in my care. I also already make time for personal exercise to be out and about so that time transitions to walks or time in the park to get out energy. I currently live in a one-bedroom apartment with just me so any pet would get plenty of space to exhibit whatever boundaries they need without interference of other animals or people. I also live very close to various parks that have fenced in areas for dogs and walking trails to walk or run on whenever they need
“Awesome experience with Makayla! Daily updates with Rocky. Pictures & videos, she was very informative since this was my 1st time using Rover. I definitely recommend her, very professional and great with pets!”
“Thalia was AMAZING! She took such great care of our pup. Thalia was easy to communicate with, very thoughtful on the needs of our dog, and even spoiled our sweet pup with a gift and treats. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Lauren and her sister, Geneva, were so amazing when caring for our 2 adult cats! They were loving, great with providing pictures, offered solid, clear communication, and were so incredibly flexible when we needed to make changes to our reservation! We can tell our girls had a great time and were so loved while we were away!”
“Colleen was incredible with our dog! She kept me informed throughout his stay, took him on long walks, played with him and more importantly cared for him. I would highly recommend her and we will definitely use her services in our future!”
“Sara and her family treated Kiwi like a true family member while we were away for 4 nights!!! She absolutely loved all of the attention from the kiddos, and Kiwi got treated to walks, trip to the park, and family time. We received daily updates with the cutest pictures. We will definitely be coming back to Sara for future needs when we are out of town!”
“Wow! I’m honestly so impressed with Damoan and how she treated my baby boy. He is a 12lb rescue and I’m always a bit nervous leaving him. Not only did she provide a ton of photos and updates throughout his stay, but also helped him learn how to socialize with other dogs. I’ve already booked her for another session and I know my Waylon will be ecstatic to stay with her again, and this mama can take a real vacation and know my baby is safe and having the time of his life!”
“We are so happy with finding Jordan! Our lab looked so happy in all of the pics - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! We will definitely be booking with Jordan again! He was super flexible and a great communicator. Highly recommend!”
“Both of my pups had a great time with Breita and family as usual! Seeing how much fun they have always makes me feel better about leaving them behind when I have to travel out of town.”
“Dexter always has a great time with Mandy and her family! He gets lots of love and hangs right with them. Mandy has always been helpful when we needed anything!!”
“Pete and his family did an amazing job with Winnie. Loved getting picture updates as well so I could see how she was doing. Very happy with my first time using Rover and boarding at all and would definitely use again.”
“It was our first time booking with Toni. She gave a great, detailed overview of her boarding facilities and answered all of our questions. She was very warm and kind. We were particularly impressed by how clean her kennels were and the fact that the space was nicely air conditioned. She responded to messages quickly while we were away. We would definitely use her again. Very professional!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Okemos is $40

Priscena was absolutely wonderful with my cat! She is incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I could tell that she really cared about pet and enjoyed spending time with him, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent me updates and pictures every day, so I always knew how he was doing. She was also super flexible and accommodating when I needed to change the drop-off time, which I really appreciated. Priscena is such a kind and responsible cat sitter, and I would absolutely trust her with my pet again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for and love their cat!
Christine was fabulous with our dog, Tillie! Tillie can sometimes be a little nervous and it was easy to see in the many pictures that Christine sent that Tillie warmed up to her very quickly! She gave her a lot of personal attention and walks. When we picked her up, it was clear Tillie had bonded with Christine during her 5 day stay with her. We feel very lucky to have found her!
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.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Okemos 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 273 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Okemos. About 93% of Okemos sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
