“This was our first time using a pet sitter on Rover, and Christina made the experience wonderful! She was quick and easy to book on semi-short notice. Her communication was great, and she kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of our pup. We will definitely plan to use Christina for all our future pet sitting needs!”
“Highly recommend Patty! She gave our slightly anxious, very large dog a great week and took care of him like her own! She also sent pics of him while we were gone- loved to be able to see how he was doing!!”
“Nicholas was so kind and patient with my 4 month old puppy. I was nervous leaving her for 5 days but Nicholas sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. My pup bonded instantly with Nicholas’ dog, AJ, who was so careful and patient with her. Would 100% recommend.”
“I’m so grateful that I found Jennifer! She is THE BEST! I was reluctant to leave my dog with anyone- but she loved on him, and took him for walks, and gave him lots of snuggles…and sent me lots of pics of his visit! I will DEFINITELY be using her again. ❤️”
“Aisha was great. Very accommodating with my change in travel plans. She made the dogs super comfortable and was so kind enough to send pics of them during their stay. She’s a great communicator and responds very quickly to messages. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”
“My dog was well taken care of with plenty of playtime and walks, also kept me updated with lots of pictures and messages. From the pictures I knew my dog was having a good time!”
“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!”
“Michele is a very warm and caring person. She took our dog on several walks and was very attentive during his stay including him as part of the family. She also provided daily updates. I will be using her soon because our dog was well cared for and she is a pleasure to work with.”
“Andrew did a fantastic job! After a short adjustment period (he never stayed at a strangers house), my dog really enjoyed the stay. Communication was excellent and I loved receiving morning and evening updates with pictures—it gave me great peace of mind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“My husband and I just got a new puppy, we had to go out of the state for the weekend, so we decided to use Rover app to book for a sitter that could take good care of our puppy. Dana and her husband did an amazing job at taking care of our dog, she went out of her way to make him feel good. Our doggy was having some trouble getting used to his new environment and he wasn’t eating, we left worried but Dana did such a good job that for the next morning our puppy was feeling a lot more comfortable with the environment. I definitely recommend her. She will take good care of your dog.”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
“Julie and family were simply amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have been happier. We’ve never let our dog stay with anyone besides family before but some things came up and we had to find alternative care in a pinch. Julie sent daily photos and updates on our senior dog who was living his best life! Could not recommend her enough!”
“Latasha was fantastic snd caring. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and was very communicative about how my sweet pup was doing. I would def trust my pup with her again!”
“Susan was great to communicate with and easy to work with. Even when unexpected things came up, she was upfront and worked out a good situation for our dog. She was also flexible with pickup when our flight was an hour delayed getting back.”
“Makenna and Josh were great with Cashew! He was a bit timid with other dogs at first but I was super happy to see he gained his confidence and loved playing with Echo and Strider. I really appreciated the video and photo updates I got while I was away!”
“AMAZING!!! We had already scheduled a vacation and I was a bit apprehensive leaving a small puppy but Felisha was absolutely wonderful ?. She sent frequent pictures and updates to keep me from worrying. Ginger has a great time in a home setting that kept her “potty training” on track. I will definitely recommend her and use her again. ?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Walled Lake
Melonie was wonderful! She was very friendly, understanding, and accommodating with our last-minute request. She took great care of Simba, kept us updated, and even shared videos while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend Melonie!
Brenda and her husband Adam were amazing with our pups! My Greater Swiss Mountain Dog can intimidate some people because of his 150 lb size, but they didn’t even bat an eye. And my Havanese became her bff for the week. Brenda works from home and I knew that would be good since they would need extra attention while we were gone. She went out of her way to make them comfortable and help the feel safe. Pictures showed them lounging around just like they were at home. I will definitely book with Brenda again next time!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Walled Lake is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,750 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Walled Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Walled Lake 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 Walled Lake 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 Walled Lake.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Walled 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 , 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.
