“I recently boarded my dog, Wolfie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He was walked every day, and it was clear he had a fantastic time. The picture updates were a wonderful touch; they showed just how happy he was. Jayden and his family who took care of Wolfie was truly wonderful, providing exceptional service and demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The quality of care was excellent, and the price was very affordable for the outstanding service received. Overall, I highly recommend this dog boarding service. Wolfie had a great time, and I appreciate the peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”

“Our dog had a great stay with Allan and his family. He was flexible, sent daily updates and photos, and our pup came home happy, stress free, and healthy. We would have our dog stay with Allan again anytime.”
“Jennifer has been very professional and on the top of everything, including keeping me updated with pictures and sending me timely text updates. Her diligence and communication has been excellent.”
“Janelle was a great dog sitter for our two pups. She sent me pictures and videos every day so I never had to wonder how my dogs were doing. She has four dogs so my dogs got plenty of playtime. I highly recommend Janelle. I look forward to using her again in the future. Thank You!”
“Ashley was awesome! Our dogs were very comfortable and she even provided photo/video updates throughout their stay. She treated them like family and we'll definitely use Ashley's services again!”
“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“I had never had Paige as a dog sitter before, so I was little nervous when I left out of the country for two weeks. She was very attentive during the process, and made sure to send me updates over the app so I could see how he was doing since I wouldn't have access to my cell number. Buddy and her dog Eddie became fast friends, and I was always happy to see what misadventures the pair was getting up to. She made him feel right at home. Thanks Paige!”
“We absolutely LOVED having Skip & Mary watch our Scarlett. We booked them for an extended stay (11/14 - 12/3) and she was super spoiled and so well taken care of. They were very responsive and sent regular updates/photos which only showed she was well loved in their care. Scarlett even had new experiences while in their care by going shopping at Cabela's. Scarlett felt right at ease in their home and had the run of the house just like at home. I couldn't have asked for better sitters for our little fur baby. I don't think Scarlett wanted to leave which just shows how great they were with her and how comfortable Scarlett felt. We will definitely be booking again! Thanks you so much Skip & Mary!!!”
“LaTonya was so easy going! And even provided a cage for my puppy to be in. I have a 6 month pit mix who has tons of energy she made sure he was able to get the energy out and was patient with him. I would definitely reach out to her again to keep Zeus I was stress free while having him in her care/”
“Sandy did an amazing job! She gave daily updates and photos. My dog definitely looked like she enjoyed her stay. I highly recommend! Will be requesting again in the future!”
“Once again Birdie was wonderful with our little Maggie. She sends pictures and videos often. I think Birdie really enjoys having a little house guest. I know Maggie is spoiled when she goes there. I’m thankful I found her!”
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Mina! She took absolutely amazing care of my dog, Kipp, while I was away. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Kipp and her dog Billy became instant best friends — honestly, I think Kipp liked her house more than mine! 😅 Mina went above and beyond with daily updates, photos, and videos, which made me feel so connected and reassured the entire time. Kipp isn’t always the easiest dog, but she handled him like a total pro with so much patience and love. It’s clear she truly cares, and I will 100% be booking with her again. Kipp came home happy, healthy… and maybe a little bummed to leave! Thank you again, Mina, for everything 💛”
“Kristin, you were so great with Daisy! The pictures and texts you sent on how Daisy was doing made us feel really good. When we picked her up, she was all smiles and excited! I highly recommend Kristin to anyone needed a dogsitter!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up in a home filled with pets of all kinds. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including those with special medical needs or health conditions. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience and attention, I’ll provide compassionate, reliable care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, experienced hands. I currently own a business and have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to care for my furry friends! I live with my husband and two boys ages 10 & 15; who are also very helpful with any pet needs especially play time and walks. I prioritize every pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by providing a clean, secure, and loving environment. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, a pet-free home with no other animals, and I always maintain close supervision, follow routines, and give each pet the individual attention they deserve.
“Maria and Augustine are wonderful! They are incredibly friendly, highly responsible, and took amazing care of my dog. I had complete peace of mind knowing my pup was in such safe and caring hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!"”
“Definitely recommend Madison to watch my pup. She has few other dogs and I was not sure how she would react with other dogs as she likes to play but can sometimes be a handful. Madison was nice enough to meet Nala before I even booked and let her meet her dogs so we could see how they would react. She put my mind at ease by sending videos and pictures during Nalas stay showing me how Nala was getting along with her pups and just having a grand ole time. She has plenty of field for dogs to run around and enjoy/ tire themselves out. Will definitely be trusting her with my pup again and can not recommend her enough.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ottawa Lake on Rover is $55.5 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 415 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ottawa Lake. 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.
98% of Ottawa Lake 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 Ottawa Lake 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 Ottawa Lake 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 Ottawa Lake.
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 Ottawa Lake 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.
