Trish was so kind and always available for communication. I received tons of pictures of my Dolly that kept me feeling in touch with her. Dolly received lots of play and cuddle time. She didn’t want to leave!

My 12 year old mini-whippet received lots of attention and love and comfort staying with Kristen on her small farm. Her other pets (and the occasional barn cat or chicken) are friendly and healthy as well. My wife and I will definitely be trusting her again to watch Marko if she is available.

Jessica was amazing with our puppy Doug. I was quite nervous leaving him as he’s just a puppy and is quite a bit of work, but Jessica made me feel so comfortable. She gave updates, sent pictures and videos. Doug fell asleep as soon as we picked him up and put him in the car to take him home. I would absolutely recommend Jessica to anybody needing a pet sitter!!

About: I have been a pet owner my entire life and have adopted many rescues. Advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves is important to me! I continue to participate in fundraisers for the Humane Society, the Annex Cat Rescue and the Canada Cuba Pet Rescue. I have extensive experience in dog walking, drop-in visits, doggie daycare and boarding services. I have also waked dogs for the Humane Society. I was fortunate to have a pet sitter/ dog walker that I could trust and I am excited to be able to provide that for others now that I have time! I will care for your pet as I would my own and I fully understand how difficult it is to leave your loved one in someone else's care. I don't take this trust lightly! I will work very hard to ensure your pet is safe and happy. I am also committed to communicating frequently throughout your pet's stay with me so that you can have peace of mind while away. My schedule is flexible on weekdays, weekends and holidays. Now that I am retired I have plenty of time to spend with your loved one! My home is clean, safe, smoke free, and pet free. I am able to provide one-on-one attention. I have a good neighbourhood for walking and a fenced-in backyard.

Scharol kept our Shadow, short notice, over the weekend so we could get to a hockey tournament. She did great! Kept us updated on how Shadow was adjusting the entire time. Shadow came back home tired and happy!

Fantastic Pet Sitting Experience! I couldn’t be happier with the care our Maggie received from Sophie and Alex! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. We got regular updates, and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She came home happy, and clearly well loved. This was our very first experience with a dog sitter and we are so happy with our choice. Thank you Sophie and Alex!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Sault Ste. Marie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sault Ste. Marie on Rover is $44.77 per night (as of July 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 .

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter 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.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Sault Ste. Marie 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 Sault Ste. Marie.

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 Sault Ste. Marie 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.
