“Emily and her family were so great with my dog. It's very nerve racking to leave your furry baby with unknown people but Emily made me feel at ease and my dog seemed to really love her family. She sent me lots of pictures and updates.”
“Rizz was a family member for a short while. She felt the love and came home satisfied. Kristopher and Lisa and Andrew were welcoming, and gave Rizz just what she needed. When I need a place for her in the future when I'm away, I will be assured that this is the right place for her. Thank you!”
“Todd & Maureen were (once again) great to take our hyperactive dog Raven for these days. Since their road was having some work done they actually came and got her and left her off. We have full confidence in their care of our dog and highly recommend them.”
“We absolutely love Sheri and her family! They take such good care of Junebug and we feel she is in such good hands! Puggy is a wonderful bonus as well! We can truly relax and enjoy our time away knowing that Junebug is so happy!”
“Ruth was fabulous. My little 7lb Maggie was a new rescue that I only had for 2 months. She was so scared of EVERYTHING. Ruth has a nice small and quiet home. She was able to give my little doggie the individual and personal attention she really needed. I felt completely confident that Maggie would be cared for very well. We even received pictures and updates regularly while we were away. I'll definitely be calling Ruth, if we go out of town again.”
“Janelle is outstanding. We have used rover in many states during our travels through the last several years as full time travelers and Janelle is the best!! Great communication and care. Would seek her out whenever possible.”
“Erin and Brian were great communicators and took good care of Cedar. They clearly love animals and have created a space where pups are welcome. Cedar enjoyed having playmates for the weekend and came home to us in a chipper mood. We’ll definitely plan to hire Erin and Brian again when we have future pet sitting needs.”
“Wendy and her family were amazing! Sailor had so much fun being able to run around the farm, swim in the pond and play with the other dogs. She sent multiple photo updates throughout the weekend which was greatly appreciated”
“Jenn was great! I had a little emergency and She was able to board Ella the same night that I requested. She sent me pictures of Ella both days. Ella seemed happy when I picked her up. I would definitely board Ella with her again.”
“Matthew and Paige were awesome! They were super accommodating of our three boys, sent me lots of pictures and made sure the pups were cozy and loved. They also helped with training our new puppy - he’s noticeably less mouthy and jumpy! Thank you again, Paige & Matthew!”
“Sabrina was a great sitter for our one year old boxer. Her fenced in yard, experience with many dogs, and kindness made the experience very comforting for a first timer.”
“Stephanie went above and beyond to take care of our medically fragile dog. She was so kind and communicative. We were very worried about leaving our baby, but she eased our worries immediately. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone considering a dog sitter!”
“Jake was excellent. He was very thorough introducing Griffin to his dogs and they took very good care of our dog too. I really appreciated his feedback on how the stay went as well. It is clear that he is very passionate about providing a caring environment for all dogs.”
“Donna was great with our senior dog. Our dog stayed for 3 nights in total. Our dog is a little anxious going to new places but Donna made her comfortable pretty quickly. She also sent regular updates without being asked and was much appreciated. Would recommend Donna for any dog sitting needs!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Saranac is $40 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $51 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.
95% of sitters in Saranac 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 Saranac 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 Saranac.
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 Saranac. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Saranac 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.
