“We took both of our dogs for 4 days to Dan. Our one dog had been to camp Bow Wow and hated it, the other had never been boarded. Both seemed happy (via daily pics sent). We would use them again”
“Lyndsey and Justin went above and beyond for our dog! I could tell from the first meeting that our dog was going to be in great hands! It certainly made our 10 days away much easier not having to worry about our girl! We received communication and many cute pictures of their young daughter giving our girl lots of love!! We Would highly recommend them for your dog, And we will certainly use them again! A huge thank you to this very sweet and loving family!”
“Amanda is wonderful! Kept in regular communication, and she sent regular updated with pictures and videos which we appreciated. Our dog was welcomed into her pack without any issues. Thanks Amanda!”
“Arrow stayed with Miranda and Erica over his birthday and they went above and beyond to give him an amazing birthday!! they really are the sweetest and will treat your pet like their own”
“Elaine was great with our little goldendoodle, Daisy! She was available for a meet-and-greet before Daisy’s overnight stay, which helped us feel confident and comfortable. Elaine sent updates about how Daisy was settling in and doing, which we really appreciated. Her fenced yard was perfect for Daisy, who loves to run and play. She was also very friendly and welcoming—which helped Daisy since she was a little nervous at first. Elaine had lots of supplies on hand like bowls, toys, and crates if Daisy wanted or needed them. Communication was super easy—Elaine was quick to respond and kept us in the loop. Daisy also enjoyed having occasional playmates during her stay—it added a little extra fun to her time there. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’ll definitely book again!”
“This was our first time having Lia & Jonathan watch our dog, Ringo. His stay at their home exceeded our expectations. Ringo had a great time on their large property and went for walks regularly. There was daily communication with photos and videos so we could see how he was doing. It was a great immersive experience for him playing with the other dogs for the week, and he's definitely tired... in a good way! We have already rebooked!”
“Tetyana is the best of the best! She goes above and beyond each time to love on my dog and make sure he feels safe and relaxed. She sends pictures and tells us about his day, which makes leaving him a little easier.”
“Bella recieved excellent care during her stay enjoying walks and company of other pets. Annmarie was able to get Bella settled in comfortably and kept us updated. Highly recommended and Bella has now found a second home.”
“Kristen took great care of Toffee while I was away for a few days! She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. I didn't have to worry about Toffee at all!”
“Stark had the best time with Mayrannie. This was our first time trying Rover and we are very happy with the entire experience. We would definitely consider Rover and Mayrannie for next time.”
“Annette was AMAZING with our dog! We were a little hesitant leaving her for a week, but Annette and her dog Ethel soon made us very comfortable with being gone! We received many pictures and updates throughout the week!! Our girl looked so happy and well taken care of! Annette made such an effort to make sure our dog felt loved while we were gone - and it showed!! We will definitely be using Annette again in the future!”
“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! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Krysia was AMAZING! She truly loves pups and it shows. From walks in High Park to how she welcomes them into her home. I highly recommend her! Will definitely be asking her to watch our Murph again.”
“April is fantastic!! She takes such good care of my dog that I can enjoy my vacation and do not have to worry!! My dog enjoys her time with her family and dogs. April sends pictures and is great at communicating. We have used her multiple times. Lily comes back happy and tired out. We are so happy that we have found a wonderful sitter!!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She sent daily photo updates and kept us informed about everything Koda was up to, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious from the pictures that Koda was having the best time. Rachel was so present with her and took her on lots of fun adventures. She was very accommodating and a great communicator throughout the stay. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable Rover sitter!”

Elaine did an exceptional job watching our dog, Flash! Her level of responsiveness and the regular updates she sent us while we were away gave us total peace of mind. Her home is clean, safe, and has a great, welcoming vibe. She and her daughter went above and beyond to make Flash feel comfortable—her daughter even slept with him so he wouldn't feel lonely! We felt completely confident leaving Flash in her care. Even though Elaine lives over half an hour away from us, she is 100% worth the drive, and we will most definitely have Flash stay with her again. Highly recommended!
Finn had such a good time with April and her pack! He loved having other dogs to play with! He came home one tired pup! April sent videos and pictures throughout Finn’s stay and let us know how he was doing each day! I would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
My furbaby, Lilly, loves Amber. If she is available. She is always our number 1 choice. She sends photos or videos daily and is easy to get a hold of if needed. Lilly also gets super excited when we get to Amber’s house which is a huge win in our book! Lilly often has anxiety so this is a huge peace of mind for us. I highly recommend Amber to anyone who has a furbaby they want to have a good time while they are gone.
Annette watched my dog Daisy for 3 days and 2 nights in her home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Daisy has a lot of anxiety, and Annette went out of her way to make her feel safe and comfortable. She gave Daisy plenty of cuddles, took her on walks, and was very patient and caring throughout the stay. Annette also has a very sweet dog named Ethel, and Daisy really enjoyed playing with her, which helped Daisy relax and feel more at home. Annette kept me updated during the stay and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It’s clear that Annette genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Yvonne and Bert were great with our 13 year old dog. They made sure she got her meds daily. They stayed in contact with us with pictures and text messages. They have a doggy door that I really didn’t have high hopes for our dog to use, but she did with some coaxing. I would highly recommend Yvonne and Bert. They are definitely dog people and pretty laid back.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterford 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 1,500 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterford. 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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford 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 Waterford.
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 Waterford 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.
