“Katie was great! She and her husband took amazing care of Titan for 5 nights and treated him like he was their own. Great communication and regular updates, lots of walks, plenty of love, and they were very flexible with my drop-off and pickup schedule. I felt completely comfortable knowing Titan was in great hands. Would absolutely recommend Katie and use her again!”
“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”
“Beth and Tracy were absolutely wonderful with Duke. Beth communicated often and took lots of pictures. They took wonderful care of our pup, which made us feel really good and allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“Luke was extremely kind and has a nice fenced in backyard that Henry was able to play in all day. He was also very communicative and went the extra mile to make sure Henry had fun. I would highly recommend!”
“Trina was the first dog sitter we left our pup with for a week. I was a bit nervous, but that was silly. Trina was so easy to work with, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. My dog is shy with new people, but she was at ease with Trina. When I came to pick her up, it was clear that my pup was well cared for and comfortable with Trina. I will happily leave my best pup friend with Trina for trips in the future.”
“Kelli is a great host and took very good care of our dogs overnight. She gave us the opportunity to do a meet & greet and sent us loads of pictures of them running around her spacious (& fenced!) backyard. We're grateful to have her help.”
“Amy is an excellent "dog sitter" & is always very attentive to our Filson, who is a Wire Fox Terrier & expects a lot of "attention" :) He loves going to their home! We highly recommend Amy & her environment....which is peaceful & calming.”
“Christine was a great sitter for Alfie. He had such a fun time running the yard and having a buddy to hang out with. Christine gave good updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend!”
“Franny had the BEST time. Kailee and her kids were so incredibly sweet with our puppy, and they were so welcoming and accommodating to her young puppy needs. 10/10 recommend! Franny absolutely loved their huge backyard too.”
“First time using this service and Jordan made me feel very comfortable about my dogs care he kept me updated and took great care of my dogs if I ever use this again I definitely would want him to watch my dogs again he was amazing”
About: I have many years of experience both cat and dog sitting for families in West Palm Beach, Florida, as well as around Gull Lake. I have cared for many animals of all different ages, with all different care needs. Big time animal lover! I am currently a stay at home mother and wife. I am home quite a bit and able to care for animals in our home, and our completely fenced in back yard which is quite large and great for animals. I am a reliable, attentive and nurturing mum. I love to care for kids and animal. I am trustworthy and reliable, easy to get in contact with, and flexible with to help meet the needs of any animal at any age.
“Chex and Penny cam home happy, well fed and full of energy! John is excellent! He was responsive, flexible and great to my dogs and they loved being there and playing with John's dog too! Highly recommend.”
“My pups loved their weeklong stay with Janelle (and Kevin!)! Janelle went above and beyond with my somewhat “special needs” and raw fed dogs (a puppy and a CHF dog with a strict medication administration routine). Despite a week of nasty humid and stormy weather, Janelle managed to get them outside to play when it cleared up, but they were also content snuggling or napping. I was sent daily reports and pictures. My dogs usually take a bit to warm up to strangers, but this was not the case with Janelle- they were immediately comfortable and returned home happy and well fed. This is the second time with her and I won’t trust anyone else to care for them moving forward!”
“Deb was great with our dogs, as always. She was available with short notice and took great care of them. Our little Puffy was recovering from a knee surgery, and Debbie was amazing caring for her. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“I couldn't have been more pleased and happy with the love and care this family has shown my puppy Molly! Its the 1st time we have had to leave her and I was so nervous about it but they really made me feel Totally at ease & kept me well informed the whole time! I could see from the pictures they sent me that Molly was as happy as could be! Will definitely be using Jayme & John again!!! They truly ARE dog loving people- no doubt about that!!!”
“My pup had some issues while boarding but Chelsea was great taking care of him while we were away and handled the situation professionally and lovingly. Thanks Chelsea!”
“Shawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Plainwell
Wow, what can I say… Jill ( & Sunny :))was amazing with our 4 yr old yellow lab, Callie! She was so loving and all about making a great experience for Callie. Her home was perfect and such a nice setting back near a nice river with a large yard with a fenced in area as well. Our dog could use her doggy door (once she got the hang of it ;) )and go outside to the fenced in yard and play/potty/whatever ….as she needed. Jill was great about taking walks, letting her swim in the river at her property, having playtime and providing constant attention and love. And her dog Sunny is so loving and was a great playmate for Callie. :). Such a reassuring feeling to have her with Jill while we traveled. Knowing she was getting constant attention, love, care, exercise, and play. I will never use a kennel or doggy care center again as long as Jill is available, thanks Jill ! :-)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Plainwell is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $48 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 461 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Plainwell. 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.
96% of sitters in Plainwell 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 Plainwell 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 Plainwell.
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 Plainwell 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.
