“Katherine was great with our pup Sunny. She came home tired and worn out. I got pictures and updates regularly and she was quick to respond. Easy to communicate with about drop off and pick up! Would recommend!”
“Felix was AMAZING with our Rose! She is a big puppy and it was her first time away from home, but he was great with her. He took her on walks daily, and sent updates regularly to keep my mind at ease. Would definitely recommend and use Felix again!”
“Madelyn was very flexible and let our pup take his time in warming up. He was so happy to have the kiddos company and he even got a brushing so he didn’t mat from the snow/slush.”
“We were SO pleased with how Erin and Brian took care of Willow! Even with little quirks that Willow had, they were willing to adjust to make her comfortable. We would highly recommend them to watch your fur babies.”
“Wow, Marissa is the best. We got photos frequently and reports of how our furry friend was doing. She was very responsive and flexible with our crazy work schedules. Best sitter ever!”
“Terry and Chuckie took EXCELLENT care of Max during his stay. He needed additional care for his eye condition and they immediately stepped up to meet all of his needs. Terry sent several updates throughout the day which helped put this dog mom at ease. Looking forward to his next stay with them!”
“Repeat customer here. Goose loves hanging out with Christina, Michael and the family! They take great care of Goose and always send regular updates so I never have to worry while I’m traveling for work.”
“Teri was super helpful getting the critters settled and was quick to respond whenever I messaged her. Leaving my pets with Teri felt like leaving them with trusted family. I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my cat and rabbit. Teri went above and beyond caring for my beloved pets.”
“Kalee was an amazing sitter. She was accommodating and flexible to our schedules. Kalee’s home was clean and inviting. She regularly updated our dog’s status with pictures. She went up and beyond when she realized she was running low on food. Will definitely recommend and use Kalee again when we are in the area.”
“Mabel had another wonderful weekend with Melvin! We appreciate his communication and obvious love for dogs! We won’t hesitate to go to him again for our dog boarding needs!”
“Dan gave lots of feedback and sent pictures while Petoskey was there. Him and his wife do a real good job as my dog is a nervous Nelly and he did just fine while I was away.”
“Jacy was great. Sonny had a great couple days staying with Jacy and we’ve already booked his next stay. Sonny told me he’s super excited to go play with his new friends again”
“Jenn is PHENOMENAL. My Coco loved her the moment they met, and it was apparent in every single photo that Jenn was taking amazing care of my fur baby! I highly recommend Jenn and I personally will be going to her anytime I need to board my dog! The photos she takes of your fur baby should be on a poster; they’re THAT good! ♥️”
“Good people here! Trooper had a great time there. Sent pictures daily of my buddy on walks and snoozing. They are very flexible and communicate very well. Would highly recommend for your dog sitting. I will definitely be going back so trooper can see his new friends!”
“Ohara took great care of Foxy. She came home tired, relaxed, and happy - not at all stressed. Ohara was accommodating and easy to communicate with and sent updates during Foxy's stay. I would definitely book again and recommend.”
“Jenny took great care of our puppy while we were gone for the weekend. And taking care of a puppy is a lot different than taking care of an adult dog. She sent us lots of pictures, which was great because we all missed Stevie very much.”
“Blue had a great time with Dale and his dogs. His communication with us was great from the start, sending updates everyday of his stay. Made us feel comfortable from the first meet and greet. Will be booking with him again!”

Alexis took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were gone for a week on vacation. We were a little nervous leaving them with someone new, knowing we were traveling out of the country. She communicated promptly to my inquiries and sent us numerous photos and text updates throughout the week. We were thrilled to hear that our dogs got along great with her dog and had a fun week playing together. Thank you Alexis! We will be sure to reach out for any future vacation needs!
Kirstin and Cassie were AMAZING with Duckie! he loved hanging out with them and felt super comfortable right away at our meet and greet. they were so accommodating in bringing him to our other sitter we had lined up for the rest of the time we were away. we would highly recommend Kristin, and will definitely be ask her in the future to watch our Duckie again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Walker on Rover is $37.45 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 526 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walker. 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.
92% of Walker 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 Walker 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 Walker 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 Walker.
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 Walker 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.
