“Felix is great! He was fantastic with our dog. He is caring, kind, and loves dogs. We are happy to find another great dog sitter! Riley has been super happy when returning from her time with Felix.”
“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.”
“Roman was fantastic watching our little Lilo. This was her second time staying with him and his family. They always are excited to have her. She gets walked and they send photos daily. Highly recommend”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover and had a great experience. Sarah took wonderful care of our dog for three days in her home. She was so kind and accommodating (and super easy to communicate with!). Her home had a great fenced in yard and from the pictures she sent me while we were away - could tell my dog was very happy and content. Highly recommend, Sarah!”
“Dan and his wife are absolutely amazing! Our doggy always has an incredible time with them. They send photos and videos of your pup so you don’t miss them too much when you’re away. 1,000% recommend!”
“Susan was a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog Brody had a great time. We love that she has a fenced in yard. She provided updates and photos. We were at ease knowing Brody was in good care.”
“Pam is a delight. I highly recommend. She is professional, kind, thoughtful, detailed with care needs, ensured Toby's safety, preferences had been provided and comfort. Pam was very prompt with responding. Provided timely updates with pictures. From our initial meet, drop off and pick up, I experienced such a loving environment and felt Toby was very much welcomed, cared for and had fun running with Pam's little fur babies. Pam's dogs and two cats are very social and adorable. Pam let him sleep in her bed at night knowing he does same at home. Toby returned home very relaxed and showed no signs of being stressed. She truly welcomed and cared for Toby as if her own. I already booked his next stay. Thank you Pam!”
“Brenda did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog. My dog has epilepsy and he was so comfortable at her house she had no problems. I recommend Brenda to everyone. My dog got walks and lots of love. She received her medication on time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“I am a repeat customer. Kalee is an absolute GEM! Our first time with Kalee, she was very professional. She offered a meet and greet then once we arrived she spent additional rime with Buster and I just reviewing his care and allowed Bust we to explore and get used to his surroundings. I have decided that Kalee is our one and only sitter, Buster loves her and his new fur baby brother! I definitely recommend Kalee as a professional, caring and flexible sitter!”
“Gabrielle is very attentive with my dog make sure he is always comfortable and she also communicates with what’s going on with my dog makes me feel like it’s at home away from home”
“Libby and her family were FANTASTIC! Our little one had so much fun playing with her kids and she actually came back happy, tired and ready to nap! Libby was attentive to her needs, sent us daily updates with pictures, and over all we felt she was well taken care of. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her services again! ☺️”
“Mark and Leah were absolutely wonderful. This was our first time using Rover and they made Pepper feel right at home. Great communication and sent picture updates during her stay. Will definitely be booking with them again!!”
“Clover got the best treatment during her boarding with Caroline! She was well-loved and cared for, and updates helped us relax while we were away. Will definitely be booking again with Caroline!”
“Maggie the beagle did a "test run" day visit prior to an extended stay to ensure that she was a good fit for Tatyana's household and vice versa. The visit went well, with Maggie receiving love and snuggles from a caregiver who's doing this for all the right reasons. Tatyana truly loves dogs and is sensitive to the environment she creates in her home, wanting it to feel like home for her visiting guests. This is thankfully balanced with expectations so that Maggie will know how to be a good guest in Tatyana's home. Tatyana's own senior golden, Biscuit, is a wonderful addition to the household and Maggie seemed to enjoy his low-key, but very welcoming camaraderie. Additionally, Tatyana's level of organization and professionalism gives me added confidence that Maggie will be well cared for, and the texts and photos sent throughout the visit were wonderful! It was great to see that Maggie was enjoying her time with Tatyana and Biscuit.”
“Our pup’s third visit. Perfection as always, Evvia always takes extra special care of Ender and we always know he will be well loved while he is with her. We will be back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walker
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Walker is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $50 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.

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 Walker 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 Walker home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
