“Beth was so good with my 11-year-old dorkie! She responded quickly to my booking request and when I took Zoey over for a pre-meetup, I could tell Zoey already liked Beth. She’s normally a pretty low energy dog, but with Beth, she looked happy and got a little spring in her step! Beth sent me videos and pictures while I was gone and I could tell Zoey was in good hands. With how happy she was, I didn’t think she was going to want to come home with me! Thank you Beth for taking such good care of my baby! I will highly recommend you to everyone looking to board their fur baby!”
“Katie and Kristen were great! They sent photos of my dog Indi regularly and were quick to respond to any messages. Indi seemed really comfortable when I picked him up, and it looked like their dog Jasper and Indi got along well! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Paula was so sweet and welcoming to our dog Bowie. He had a wonderful stay and enjoyed all the adventures. We will definitely book her again the next time we need someone!”
“Winston always enjoys his time with Teresa. Teresa takes excellent care of him and sends lots of pictures and updates. Teresa was available on short notice to help us out during an unexpected event. So appreciated. Thank you!”
“Our puppy Eleanor had a great time with Kayden! It's clear that Kayden loves and understands dogs. Lastly, Kayden was also extremely helpful and understanding, as we were rather forgetful with some items.”
“Renée took great care of my dogs. She sent regular check ins and pictures. She also picked up more food for them when they were naughty and stole their food. Highly recommend!”
“Natiely is a loving and compassionate person. She was incredibly conscientious and caring with my senior dog, Toby. She closely monitored his adjustment and responded appropriately, often putting techniques she had learned into practice to help Toby feel more comfortable and build trust with her. Her attentiveness and patience allowed Toby to relax and feel at ease much more quickly than usual, which, in turn, gave me tremendous peace of mind. I truly appreciated the care and understanding she showed toward him.”
“We couldn’t have found a better person to leave our 1 yr. Old Goldendoodle with during our first time away from him for 9 days. Caroline always sent daily videos several times a day. She interacts with the dogs in her care and you can see how well they are taken care of by her. She has the perfect set up in her home and yard. She and her husband make a great team. We missed our pup so much and it was nice to have reassurance and see for ourselves how he was doing good in the videos. He was having so much fun we were equally sad and happy when we picked him up. He will definitely be back. We can’t thank Caroline enough for her obvious love and care she has for canines. ❤️”
“Mengdongxue (Laura) was great. She took in my two dogs for 4 nights + and made it easy to drop off and pick up. Consistent photos and nice long walks. Felt very safe leaving my dogs there and will 100% utilize her again. Very sweet and good communication.”
“This was our dog’s second stay with Ariana and her dog Yogi. I was very impressed with our dog’s care during her first stay and I was equally impressed during her second stay. Our dog is not easygoing, and at one point I worried whether we would ever be able to find a sitter who would make her feel comfortable. Ariana is that sitter. She provides a loving, relaxed, fun environment and is exceptionally good at communicating with owners. She sets a new standard.”
“Jennifer was a fantastic pet sitter! She send daily updates on how Maple was doing like sleeping on her lap ❤️, it was reassuring to read how much she and her family cared. Thanks so much for your kindness 😊”
“Melissa was a great sitter for our dog Dusty. She sent pictures and kept us updated. She was flexible when we ended up being later than expected for pick-up. I'm sure Dusty had a great time and we felt comfortable leaving her in good hands. I would definitely call on her services again if and when the time comes.”
“Elizabeth was such a wonderful host for our dog! They went on frequent walks and I received plenty of photo updates. Our booking was very last minute after our original plan for care fell through, and she was so flexible working with us. Highly recommend!”
“Tanu was an amazing dog sitter for our dog Kevin. She was so attentive, sent very frequent updates and pictures, and clearly is a big dog lover. We will without a doubt, be asking her to dog sit our dog in the future!”
“Amy took great care of Leila. She was communicative and sent regular updates during our trip. When we arrived, Leila was coming back from a walk and seemed very happy and comfortable with Amy! Thank you!”
“Josiah was great and offered last-minute services when my original plans fell through for zazu. Their family took great care of my boy, sent regular pictures, and he came home happy and healthy!”
“Andrew was fantastic with our two dogs over the holiday. Making sure they had their walks and constant attention gave us so much peace of mind! So thankful for all the love our pups got!”
“Karen is the first dog sitter I left my puppy with and it went great! She sent updates, pictures, and my dog was so happy! Thank you, Karen for a great first experience! We will be in touch next time Violet visits Ann Arbor with me 💜”
“Abigail took great care of our pup while we were away! We could tell she has had lots of experience caring for dogs and welcomed our cuddly, spunky girl with open arms. Abigail is extremely responsive with messages, a plus for first time boarders. Would not hesitate to book again.”

Lyvia did such an amazing job boarding our dog, Gracie, while we were on our vacation! She was communicative, responsible, and loving. Gracie felt like she had a vacation too. I’m so thrilled to have found a trusted dog sitter nearby, and Gracie already can’t wait to stay with Lyvia again!
Natiely is a loving and compassionate person. She was incredibly conscientious and caring with my senior dog, Toby.

Lauren, Tyler, and their two kids watched Dottie for a week. This being my first time leaving Dottie with people that aren’t family, I was pretty nervous. Lauren and Tyler sent pictures and videos daily to ease my mind and she had a great time. During her stay, Dottie had an emergency and Lauren and Tyler took her to the vet, caring for her like she was their own. I was and am exceedingly grateful.
I cannot recommend Shannon highly enough. My rescue dog is usually reluctant to play with other dogs, but Shannon knows how to introduce animals and make sure they are safe and secure. She’s extremely knowledgable about animal behavior and training— I’ve had dogs for 40 years and had several dog classes, but I learned much that I didn’t know. Also, my dog has a restricted diet and meds and Shannon was very conscientious. You can’t go wrong with boarding your dog with her.
Melissa was a great sitter for our dog Dusty. She sent pictures and kept us updated. She was flexible when we ended up being later than expected for pick-up. I'm sure Dusty had a great time and we felt comfortable leaving her in good hands. I would definitely call on her services again if and when the time comes.
Deunna took excellent care of our sweet elderly golden retriever. Our dog is used to being in a family home and needed to be given medicine and treated gently due to arthritis and skin issues. She took the time to understand the special care that our dog needed. I would definitely bring our dog back to Deunna's house.
This was our first time using Rover for our 13 year-old Beagle mix, Vince. I went away for five days, so I was a little nervous about how Vince would do. Aylin too excellent care of him and sent photos almost everyday so I could see how Vince was settling in. She was very responsive and caring about Vince's little quirks and needs. She was also flexible when my homebound flight arrived early and I asked to change the pre-arranged pick-up time at the last minute All in all, this was a five-star experience and I would confidently leave Vince with Aylin again--in fact, I plan to.
My dogs stayed with Joseph over the holiday weekend. We got lots of updates during their stay. My one dog has a hard time with fireworks. He made sure she was comfortable and got all the loves and snuggles. My dogs were well loved and cared for during their stay. I would recommend Joseph and would have him watch our dogs again. 😊

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ann Arbor on Rover is $55.5 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 .

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.
95% of Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor 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 Ann Arbor.
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 Ann Arbor 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.
