“We can't wait to take Stella back! She loved her stay and I loved the communication and pictures we got! I've already rebooked three additional stays. Our experience could not have been better!”
“Alan was very positive.He sent pictures and comments, and he also was patient with our change in plans. We hope that he'll be able to watch Hershey again sometime because it was a great experience for our dog.”
“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.”
“Jayden did a great job with the drop-ins over the long holiday weekend. He communicated well, was easy to work with, and both pups looked happy after each check-in. We’ll definitely book Kayden again!”
“She watched my two dogs while I went Out of the country. She did a great job keeping me updated and sending photos. My dogs were very well taken care of and happy when I saw Them. She’s someone I trust with my dogs and would use her again :)”
“Absolutely the BEST! Kili enjoyed herself and we loved all the updates and pictures. She cares for Kili like her own and she even got more cuddles from her family. Always appreciate that!! Will definitely rebook with Paige!!”
“My wife and I were traveling and needed to find boarding for our dog Chloe. We found Arling and Mary, and our experience with them was nothing short of wonderful! We met them for a meet-and-greet, where we discussed boarding expectations and Chloe's needs while Chloe had the opportunity to explore their residence. We were impressed by Arling's questionnaire sheet, which he used to take meticulous notes about Chloe and her needs and routines. We felt at ease and very confident that Chloe was in good hands. Drop off was smooth, and we received regular picture updates throughout Chloe's stay. When it was time for pick up, Arling and Mary helped bring Chloe and her stuff out, and also helped load things into my vehicle. They are very kind and personable people, and it is reflected in how well they took care of Chloe. I'm pretty sure they spoiled Chloe more than we do! I would 100% recommend them as Rover providers, and look forward to booking with them again!”
“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.”
“Cindie is very attentive and detail-oriented, and she made sure we were 100% comfortable about leaving our puppy with her for the weekend. She also was kind enough to send us updates and photos while we were away, which was a really nice touch! I definitely recommend her as a dog-sitter!”
“Leo seemed to feel right at home with Sandy. Her house is very well maintained. She is very friendly, and took good care of Leo. I will consider Sandy to watch Leo again with no question.”
“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!"”
“Barb was not only accommodating to my last minute needs but she kept me posted daily with photos (per my request) and brief texts letting me know my dog was adjusting to an unfamiliar place. Her house was very dog friendly and having a fenced in yard and neighborhood for walks was perfect for my senior dog. This was my first experience leaving my dog with anyone outside of family and she made the process as comfortable as possible. I will be using her services in the future if I find myself in need, and have already recommended her to friends and family. Thanks again for everything, Barb!”
“Bosco always enjoys his time with Breanna and Clay. This was his first overnight and they kept us well informed on how he was doing. We'd have no problem boarding there again. Thanks!”
“Rachel took fantastic care of our Chesney! She sent daily updates and photos. Made our vacation more enjoyable knowing our baby was so well taken care of. Looking forward to our next visit!”
“Oreo loved Birdie, and I can tell she loved him back! She sent me a lot of pictures and I could tell my Oreo was loving her always cuddling and playing with her. We are definitely coming back to Birdie. It was the first time we ever left Oreo with anyone outside family and he did great.”
“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/”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ottawa Lake on Rover is $55.5 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 .

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.
