About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was 14 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, and other animals for friends, family, and neighbors, and I truly treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to feel confident and comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and loving while also following your pet’s routine and needs closely. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and safe presence, I’m happy to provide care that fits their personality. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m happy to communicate regularly with updates and photos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work part-time and am currently completing my master’s degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home often. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day rather than pets being left alone for long periods. When pets stay in my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and rest. I know consistency helps pets feel secure, especially when they are away from their owners. I provide plenty of attention, supervision, and affection based on each pet’s personality and comfort level. Whether a pet enjoys being active and playful or prefers a quieter, relaxed environment, I adjust my care to meet their needs. I also make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean environment, and a safe space to rest. I take safety very seriously and monitor pets closely while they are in my care. I am happy to follow any specific instructions, including medications, crate routines, or special care requests. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and reassured while they are away.

Willow, who is our sensitive pup, didn't want to leave and we could tell she was super happy with her stay. We will happily book with them in the future!”

About: Devoted and die-hard dog Momma over here! I have a Muttley crew of dogs including Labrador Retrievers and Pitt Bull mixes. My pack includes senior aged dogs through to young dogs. I have dedicated the last couple years to fostering dogs and absolutely fallen in love pivoting my world in the direction of companion pets. I have also worked at a local doggie daycare and volunteer often with my dogs as control dogs in a local dog training group's reactive rover class. I currently work part time in a local dog park as well. Needless to say, I encounter all types of dogs throughout my day and love learning their unique personalities. I have studied dogs at length with my personal pack, in training classes, with my dog centered jobs, and I continue to enjoy deep discussions on dog body language to learn even more! Dogs are fascinating animals to me, and I adore learning more to better communicate with them. I have a flexible schedule currently. I work part time at a local dog park in the afternoons during the week, and volunteer by fostering dogs. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs at home that are social and enjoy playing with new pups, proven with the foster pups I bring home. My pack is excellent communicators with other dogs and help draw out shy dogs and teach them how to dog. Dogs are welcome on the furniture (couch and bed) in my home. New dogs through foster or dog sitting sleep in a crate for naps during the day and at night out of an abundance of caution for safety.

“Wonderful experience. We were nervous to leave our puppies for the first time. Alexia made us very comfortable. She saw how nervous we were and gave us extra updates to calm our nerves. She put us at ease quickly. The pups seemed to have such fun . Her family played with them so much I was afraid they would want to stay! They came home well exercised and happy. Thank you again Alexia!”

“We were so grateful for finding Amy through Rover only a day before our trip. She made time to have our dog over for a meet and greet, and she had experience with dogs with a similar personality to our Mimi, so it felt like a good match from the start. Amy sent pictures and updates throughout our trip, and the drop off and pick up situations were easy. We would recommend Amy to anyone in need on doggy watching for up to one week! Thank you Amy!”

Kaity and family made the process very smooth. It was great to have a meet and greet in advance as well. I appreciated her quick responses to my messages, as well as having Zoey so warmly welcomed in her home. This is our first time using Rover for care and we will definitely do so again.

We cannot say enough good things. They have taken wonderful care of our two dogs and have been consistently amazing hosts. The dogs get excited when we pull in and seem genuinely happy to be staying with them. We appreciate the regular picture updates, giving us peace of mind. They’ve been flexible and helpful when we’ve had delays or travel disruptions. Overall, we could not recommend them more highly and plan to continue using them as our dog sitters indefinitely.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Parchment

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Parchment is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $68 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Parchment. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

97% of sitters in Parchment can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Parchment home-away-from-home, 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 Parchment.

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 Parchment 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 , 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 .

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.
