“Once again, Tiffani and her family took great care of my pup, Rosie, while we were on vacation! She had to help her through a couple thunderstorms for the first time, but I was happy knowing Rosie was extra loved. I appreciated the cute video updates and prompt responses. Rosie LOVES staying with Tiffani & her sweet family! They've become her "home away from home". 🩷”
“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“We would definitely recommend! I really appreciated the communication we received during booking and later the communication + photos we received during Charlie’s overnight stay. It helped us feel reassured he was in good hands. In all the pics he seemed like he was having a great time. Drop off and pick up was also very smooth. I’ll definitely book again in the future when we need help with dog sitting.”
“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!”
“Mayrannie took care of my 9 month old pup for 3 weeks, while I had to travel. She was wonderful in doing multiple meet-and-greets to slowly introduce him to her environment. She took great care of my pup, sending me pictures almost every day. I highly recommend Mayrannie.”
“Very accommodating for our dog, Kona! Shelly is experienced and made the meet/greet and reservation a breeze! She was our first Rover since moving to Michigan and we’re glad she took such great care of our active dog!”
“Our dog Bear stayed with Dena and her family for the third time, and he had a great time! We will continue to be repeat customers because they are so kind and caring towards our dog. It is helpful to know that while you are gone, your pet is loved and cared for.”
“Bill and Sandy were fantastic and took care of Parker like he was their own. I loved their frequent updates and pictures and it was so nice to see Parker so calm and relaxed when we came to pick him up. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Angela was great and sent pictures on a regular basis to keep us updated! Cooper felt right at home and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe place for your pup.”
“Amanda and her family treat Faith as their own. I love the morning and evening updates. Faith had a wonderful time over the weekend. Again, I give 5 starts because I can't give 6! Thank you, Amanda!”
“Meredith was super kind, lovely and made my little Bichon Frisé felt totally at home. She updated me with videos and pictures constantly even describing how my little one was feeling each day. Definitely I’ll book Meredith again, she is the best!”
“Lindsey was amazing! I was worried about my senior shizhu being around big dogs. If he was uncomfortable she brought him in with her. My other dog is terrified of fireworks and she made a comfortable bed for him to lay in. And made him as comfortable as she possibly could. She constantly sent me updates with pics and any concerns she may have had. The pics she sent me showed my babies having a great time. She is the best. She is sweet, caring, and really takes the best care of them. I will from now on bring my babies to her when we go away. She treats your furbabies as her own. Thank you so much Lindsey”
“My boy Chauncey stayed with Dan and Clare for three nights four days. I was sent multiple forgraphs to show how he was faring including him eating and sleeping. I had a GPS collar on him which showed the amount of play time and rest time he was given. (A LOT)!! Their yard is huge and fenced. Unfortunately my dog has learning to jump over cyclone fencing the week before staying with Dan and Clare; therefore, I put his GPS collar on him. They watched my sweet naughty (sporting dog - very concentrated on looking for creatures and can lose his mind by only having those thoughts in his head ;-) ) and I could tell much attention was given to watching out for him and guaranteeing he was safe. Their three dogs - after they bark upon your arrival - are very sweet and very accepting of newcomers. I would use them again in a heart beat. I travel on the road with my dog and also spend time in Texas so it will be hit and miss when the need arrives. However, should you want a safe, clean, dog "resort" for your pup go here. Lots of new smells, critters to chase and great hosts for your four legged family member, Thank you Dan and Clare!”
“Lynn was great with my little pup. My dog is skittish but Lynn met all of her needs. She is very conscientious about the little details, and I appreciated all the extra time a pictures she sent. Thank-you, Lynn!”
“Our first time using Rover was with Tory and we had a really nice experience! Tory was super nice and kept sending us pictures at least 3 times a day of na’vi. Our dog clearly enjoyed her time staying with Tory. We will definitely ask Tory again to take care of na’vi for any future event. We definitely recommend her!!!”

Amanda is amazing! If you are looking for someone who is warm, friendly and will take the best care of your furry family member Amanda is it! 😊She kept our 3 dogs Thursday through Sunday and sent lots of pictures and videos of them having a good time! She took excellent care of them. Thank you again Amanda for everything!.
We would highly recommend this sitter! He watched our dogs, Alpa and Marty, and did a wonderful job. We really appreciated the photos and updates he provided — it gave us peace of mind knowing our dogs were well cared for. Dogs came home happy and healthy! We would not hesitate having our dogs stay with Emil again.
If I could give 10 STARS I would!!! Coryn and her husband went above and beyond when caring for my baby Georgie! Georgie was a rescue that we found in a dumpster, he was treated horribly, very emancipated with severe conjunctivitis that required surgery in both eyes! Therefore I am very selective with whom I l eave him with! Coryn was the PERFECT CHOICE! I cannot thank you enough, every picture she sent me. I could tell how comfortable he was, with zero anxiety. He had a wonderful time, which made my vacation stress free, knowing that my baby was being taking excellent care of! Thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️
Misty was such a great dog sitter for our girl, Trudy! She was extremely responsive, very flexible, and kept us updated with pictures throughout the week. Trudy had so much fun playing w/ Misty’s two dogs :) we did a meet & greet beforehand, and I automatically felt comfortable keeping Trudy there while we were gone. We would recommend her to family/friends and will rebook in the future! Thank you Misty :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sylvan Lake on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 1,635 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sylvan Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
94% of Sylvan Lake sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sylvan Lake 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 Sylvan Lake 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 Sylvan Lake.
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 Sylvan Lake 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.
