Dog Boarding in Great Lakes

Sarah was amazing with our pup Mago! This was his first time being boarded, and she was kind and patient. We could tell Mago was well cared for and happy. Highly recommend Sarah—we would absolutely book with her again!

Jennifer is reliable and incredibly trustworthy! I can’t say enough good things about her :) I always know my dog, Coco is in good hands when she is with her!

Kim did an excellent job with our 2 pups. They had a great time hanging out and running around her large fenced yard. She gave them lots of snuggles and they looked very comfortable in her home.

Swagata is a phenomenal sitter. She went above and beyond caring for Lady! I love all the videos and pictures she shared everyday! I had no reservations about leaving my furbaby in her care and would absolutely book again!

Our dog took an immediate liking to Dee. She's a very good sitter. We especially appreciated the frequent texts and pictures Dee sent us while we were gone. We recommend her highly!

Chisato was very proactive and reassuring with her daily videos and pictures of Grayson. She communicated very well and Grayson seemed to fit in just fine with her. I would definitely use her services again.

Having never needed a dog sitter (family loves to take them), I was understandably wary. But Jacob had such great reviews and lived about 8 minutes from me - so I figured I'd meet him. First, he's lovely. Warm, empathetic, and so, so good with dogs. His home is gorgeous, and there are dog beds and toys everywhere. And it DOES NOT SMELL. I didn't know it at the time, but he only takes dogs of a certain size - little - so my two were not forced to defend their honor with big dogs. (I don't know about you, but my dogs could care less about little dogs - it's the big ones they want to take on.) Both of my dogs take medication, which wasn't an issue - and one of them is geriatric - blind, deaf and with vertigo. Jacob handled him better than I ever have. While I was gone, I got lots of pictures and videos, texts about the fun they were having - and unexpectedly, an interest in how I was doing. The texts/messages were just so, so heartfelt and special. I was gone for two days, and honestly, my dogs wanted to stay with him, I think. Finally, true story - before we decided to hire him, Jacob asked if my kids and I wanted to come over for a "meet and greet." We did, and obviously, decided he was perfect. We left feeling secure in our decision. As we were getting in the car, a couple with an older son who were walking their large dog across the street spoke to us. The woman said, "Is Jacob going to watch your dogs?" I told her that he was. She said, "they're very lucky. He's a hidden treasure." Selfishly, I want him to remain hidden. But he deserves to be found by as many people as possible. I can't thank him enough.

Our original dog sitter fell through two days before we needed to leave on a business trip and I decided to look on Rover.com to see if anyone matched my mine/my dogs' needs. I had reviewed other options, such as a family member coming in several times a day and local, larger dog boarding facilities and I just knew that neither of these situations was going to work for me or my dogs. We have a pair of 3 year old Shih-Tzu's who are used to being around me all day (including at work and at bedtime) and I wanted them to have more personal attention. I found Patricia on Rover.com and she was miraculously available on such short notice. After contacting her and then speaking with her, I felt I had found a home care provider where Max and Maizy could feel comfortable (and less lost and overwhelmed). I was initially nervous to leave them in a new and unfamiliar situation (especially without the usual meet and greet beforehand...due to the short booking notice). However, upon meeting with Patricia, I knew I had found a warm and relaxed person to care for our dogs. Her house was great, very dog centered and they were welcome to sniff everywhere and get acclimated right away. They stayed with her for 5 nights, and I'm positive they were happy to be with a dog loving individual in a home. I was so happy to see how comfortable they were in the photos she sent. I'm very relieved to have found an excellent dog sitter through this site. We will be using her again! I think it is really important to read the reviews, talk with the dog sitter, and then do a pre-stay meet and greet with the selected dog sitter. It's good to see the house set up in advance, and also observe how the sitter interacts with your dog. It is also very important to fill out the profile on your pet as completely as possible.

As a first time user, I was a little nervous but I hit the Rover jackpot when I found Mary & Norm! They are wonderful people and took amazing care of Tink! The daily updates and pics were so appreciated and showed how much fun Tink was having. She can’t wait to visit them again!

Yesenia is such a sweetheart, I was so nervous with leaving my puppios because I wasn’t sure how ppl will take 3 pit bulls. But Yesenia was a superstar with them and they obviously loved her. She takes really awesome pics too, THANK YOU FOR CALMING MY CRAZY MIND😂❤️

Veronique took wonderful care of my little dog, Nutella, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was very friendly, attentive, and clearly has a natural way with animals. Nutella enjoyed her company, the new friends she made, and the fun walks they went on together. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I highly recommend Veronique to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

Ethan did a wonderful job watching my dog Winston, who is extremely anxious and not comfortable being away from home. Ethan has a very calm and low key personality which I think was very soothing for Winston and helped put him at ease.

Jayne was amazing!! She accommodated a lot of extra request for us, sent tons of photos and more walks than we even do!!! Loved loved loved her help

My goodness! Where do I start? Jordan is so welcoming and attentive. She sent me updates during my vacation as well as pictures and I couldn’t be happier. Jordan has a wonderful spirit that instantly makes your feel safe and comfortable. Her puppy is also very adorable and sweet. Jordan is now my go to sitter and I will recommend her time and time again. Thank you Jordan for being so hospitable and wonderful to my peanut.

Deidre is basically the host of dog summer camp! She's watched Winston twice and both times he comes home happy and exhausted. He gets tons of cuddles and love, but also great playtime in her fenced in backyard. Deidre is the best!
