“Holly is THE BEST!! She’s excellent with our little pup and goes above and beyond for us. She treats our dog like she’s her own child, as do we, so we truly appreciate all the kindness, love, care and attention she receives in Holly’s care! And as always, thank you for doing a superb job for us!! Scott, Melanie and Ivy!”
“Our fur babies had the best care at Kelly and Brandon's home! They are the kindest, caring, most loving family. Kelly sent daily pictures and updates that put me at peace knowing that they were having the time of their life playing with Arvon or relaxing. Definitely home away from home💕🐾 Thank you again for your exceptional care!”

Michele gave Scarlett her meds twice a day and even cooked chicken and tilapia to entice Scarlett to eat. She walked Scarlett and brushed her. We already have Michele booked for our next trip!”
“Laura was an amazing sitter! She watched our corgi for 2 weeks and kept us very informed of how he was doing. Our little guy has a bit of aggression, but Laura is very knowledgeable and she worked with him every day. She also sent us multiple photos along with our updates! I felt our dog was very well cared for and I would definitely book with her again!”
“Laura and Manuel were friendly, easy to communicate with, and took great care of our dog. They sent some photo updates too. We would love to work with them again!”

“Jaimee took excellent care of my dog Duna while I went to Colorado for a long weekend. She was easy to work with vis-a-vis setting up drop off and pick up and provided regular updates and pictures of Duna's time with her. Duna is a bit quirky but she seemed happy and relaxed in Jaimee's care. I recommend Jaimee without reservations.”
“Debra was a great sitter for our French Bulldog Tina! We felt like Tina was treated like family during her stay. Debra was a timely communicator and provided lots of pics of Tina. We would definitely recommend.”
“We had another great experience with Alia, Ian and family. They took amazing care of my dog Cleo and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and knowing she was in such a loving, safe environment. It’s never easy leaving your dog, but they made it so much easier. I’m so grateful and will continue using them in the future!”

“Seana has consistently been the best host sitter for our pup Ollie. Her dogs are friendly and she has a great yard for running around. She communicates and responds to questions quickly. She also sends a few pictures every time she watches him.”
“If I could give Kristin more than 5 stars, I would! She has watched my Pearl a couple of times before and always does a fantastic job of taking care of my pup and keeping me posted with pics and great communication. Pearl loves playing with Kristin’s dog Willow and always comes home a sleepy pup after having so much fun at her house. She is always my first choice for day care and dog sitting! Thank you Kristin and Willow!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Whitmore Lake
Deana was absolutely amazing! She and her husband, James, took such great care of my dog, Henny, during a last-minute boarding. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such a loving and attentive home. Deana truly treats your pet like her own, and it shows in everything she does. Henny was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Plus, her dog Shaggy is adorable and has such a similar personality to Henny :) It’s also a huge bonus that she lives nearby, making everything so convenient. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!
Another great experience with Rebecca! As a second-time customer, it was clear that Kinzie was at ease when we arrived, recognized the surroundings, and barely noticed as I was heading out the door. As usual, I received regular updates and photos during the time away. We will be booking with you again!
Rebecca, you did a great job with Kinzie and I can tell she was very well cared for (she told me!) We'll be repeat customers, you can count on it. Thanks for keeping me posted during her stay with pics & message updates. It put my mind at ease so that I could fully engage in my out-of-town travel. Until next time !

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Whitmore Lake is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $42 and $77 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.
95% of sitters in Whitmore 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 Whitmore 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 Whitmore 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 Whitmore 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.
