“Leah was THE BEST sitter we ever had. She is knowledgeable and most importantly, loving towards my little babies. We will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your babies like they were her own.”
“Andrew and his wife were amazing hosts to my 114lb husky. They provided pictures everyday and walked her as much as she wanted! She barely wanted to leave their home- highly recommend!”
“This couple was fantastic! They sent regular photos and updates on our boys. They had took our 2 pitbull boxers for the weekend and handled them so well. My husband and I would absolutely hire them again for our pet needs!”
“Lyndsey and Justin went above and beyond for our dog! I could tell from the first meeting that our dog was going to be in great hands! It certainly made our 10 days away much easier not having to worry about our girl! We received communication and many cute pictures of their young daughter giving our girl lots of love!! We Would highly recommend them for your dog, And we will certainly use them again! A huge thank you to this very sweet and loving family!”
“Rachel and her family did an amazing job watching Drake while I was out of town! He had a blast, they took the best care of him, she communicated great and sent plenty of pictures while I was away. Highly recommend and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go out of town!”
“Toni is accommodating, friendly and very knowledgeable about dogs, in general. Her facility is wonderful., spacious kennels, clean, orderly and dog oriented. I would highly recommend Toni.”
“Stephanie was great with our two dogs! You could tell from the moment we walked in for our visit that she loves animals and would look after them with great care. When we dropped our dogs off after our visit, you could tell they were excited to be back for their stay! She sent us daily pictures with updates and I have no doubt that our pups had a great vacation with Stephanie while we went on our vacation. Will definitely book with her again. Thanks again Stephanie!!!”
“Jenna did a wonderful job taking care of my Standard Poodle. After our meet and greet where I met Jenna, her husband and 2 dogs I felt they were an attentive and dog loving and dog centered family. I really appreciated their fenced yard and their flexibility and understanding that my dog was not perfectly trained, she still jumps and does not go for walks calmly. It was clear that Jenna's family was going to provide the same loving attention and lots of activity (playing with their dogs) my dog receives at home. Jenna was responsive when we communicated, she would answer within a few minutes. She sent pictures and updates. I could not have asked for a better sitter for my dog and I will definitely use them again in the future. My dog was happy and well cared for by Jenna!”
“Marie was absolute perfection with my German Shepherd! She has a natural gift with animals, and it showed from day one. I loved getting regular photos and updates throughout the stay; it gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and in great hands. I will definitely be rebooking with Marie and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!”
“Taylor and family are always such a blessing for us! I know I can always leave our fur baby with them and feel 100% confident that she is in great hands! Taylor provides continuous updates and pictures throughout our pet’s stay giving us constant peace of mind :)”
“If you want to treat your dog for the spa / vacation while you are gone , do not look any other place ! They are so amazing and lovely . Zoe is also a sweetheart 😍My dog fell in love with both of them instantly! I can not explain how wonderful and lovely they both are . Will definitely bring my dog back”
About: I've had pets my entire life. It has been quite some time since I have owned a dog. I had the best dog of my life and since she passed away I don't think I can endure that loss again. However, I still crave interactions with man's best friend. I very recently lost my 19 year old kitty which has been difficult but I still have a 12yr old rescued cat with bad behaviors lol. I am experienced with providing oral medications and injections. I owned a diabetic cat that unfortunately died from cancer. I also have fish and cardene shrimp. I have cared for reptiles, birds, rats, mice, and other small furry friends. I am an RN but need to spend more time with critters to make my life more balanced and enjoyable. Sure, overtime as an RN pays better, but time spent with animals brings me joy. I have experience training both cats and dogs. I am a remote worker and therefore have a great deal of flexibility. Let me know your needs. I will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs. I keep my cat in the bedroom due to bad behaviors and extreme anxiety making it easy to care for another animal in our home if needed. I do not have a fenced yard but I live in a beautiful subdivision for long walks. I prefer to watch pets in their home to reduce anxiety but if your pet is very social and you prefer they stay in our home, our home is very pet friendly. Our whole family has cats and dogs and they always come to visit and get spoiled. Animals are allowed on furniture and run of our large home.
“Margaret was an exceptional caretaker of our dog Macie. She doted on Macie with long morning walks and lots of pets. Beautiful natural setting. Macie was safe and happy. Macie will be back and highly recommend.”
“My doggies were happy and relaxed under Mayrannie's care. She did amazing with them even with one of my dogs having tummy troubles. She was patient and took great care of them. We are very happy with her care.”
About: Hello! I am a licensed veterinary technician and have been for 20 years with a primary focus in surgery and dentistry and management. I love animals and have worked my entire adult life with them in some capacity. I have a 15 year old female spayed Chihuahua, 10 year old male neutered Portuguese Water Dog, and 2 cats, all indoor. I do not have the time or room to have more animals of my own which is why I would love care for your fur babies as my own when you are unable. This will allow me to enjoy more animals, of all breeds/sizes, but on a part-time basis...which is more accommodating to my lifestyle. Because of my veterinary experience and knowledge basis; you will not only be getting an amazing pet sitter, but one who can recognize a problem and address it appropriately if needed. I have the ability to bring your fur baby to a near by vet clinic if needed. I am currently working from home, so I have the ability to provide 24/7 care to your fur baby. I'm currently working remote, so I am available to provide pet care 24/7. I would rather late morning visits, drop offs....but can accommodate early morning with notice. I have a yard with an invisible fence and extra collars for dogs that use them. Otherwise I have a tie out in my yard for potty breaks. I have a litter robot for our cat friends. However, I keep pets inside most of the time for safety and comfort.
“I am incredibly grateful and humbled by the outstanding care Coryn and Kyle provided for my two dogs. They handled everything perfectly, from reliably administering medications to ensuring they got plenty of walks. What truly gave me peace of mind was their amazing communication; they kept me completely in the loop the entire time with frequent photos and video updates. It is clear they treated my pups like family, and they come highly recommended by myself for anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“Simon was part of their family for a week and that made us very happy. Thea shared pictures of him feeling right at home! We would highly recommend her to everyone who believes their dogs are part of their family!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rankin is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 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.

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.
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 Rankin 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 Rankin 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 Rankin.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rankin. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Rankin 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
