“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.”
“Renee took very good care of Bean for eleven days while my husband and I took a cruise. It was so nice to know Bean had company and was in good hands while we were away. This was my first experience with boarding a cat and the Rover app was a great help. I searched offers in my area, read Renee’s profile and we exchanged information. Bean enjoyed the meet and greet and that sealed the deal. Renee sent pictures and kept us informed. I highly recommend her service.”
“Kayden is very friendly and knowledgable about dogs. Milo, our dog, is elderly and I was a bit worried about the interactions between his energetic dogs and mine. But all went well and Milo came home healthy and happy after a full week with Kayden, his partner and their four-legged friends. The second concern I had was the small outside area he had available for the dogs to do their business. Milo is picky about where he goes potty and, since there was no grass, I wasn't sure how that would go. Again, Kayden handled it well, taking Milo out for walks when needed. I would take Milo back for future visits if the need arises.”
“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!”
“Toby had so much fun with Ariana that she didn't want to come home! It's great knowing that my dog has a home away from home whenever I need to go out of town. Ariana was able to devote a lot of her free time to give Toby tons of love and care. Toby came home more happy than when she left. I will most definitely rebook Ariana every time I go out of town. Thank you again Ariana!”
“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.”
“Caroline was a fantastic and caring house for our dog! She has a wonderful, large fenced-in yard for the dogs to run and play. She also sends multiple video updates each day. She clearly loves dogs and shows them lots of affection!”
“Our dog had a good stay with Laura. She provided update photos of how he was doing and fed him on schedule. He seemed happy and well-taken care of on his return.”
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Ariana! I'm a loving and caring person who has always had a huge love for animals. I have two dogs of my own at home, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets. I love spending time with dogs, whether that's going on walks, playing, or just giving them lots of attention and love. I'll always treat your dog like they're one of my own and make sure they're happy, safe, and well cared for! I’m in my pen friendly apartment a lot throughout the day so having a dog to take care of/play with will be an amazing thing to look forward to. I have two dogs of my own back at home, but while I’m at school I sadly don’t have any with me. That being said, I can read there needs and wants pretty easily and will make sure that your fur baby has the most comfortable stay/time.
“Amy did great with Figs. she paid attention to how he reacted with dongdong, and made good modifications. she fed him well and did great with playing and sending cool pics of figgy lounging! love it!”
“Catherine and her family took wonderful care or our dog. Lucie felt immediately at home and had a great time. Great place for dogs, who like family around. We will surely book again with Catherine.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Andrew was great! He is quick to respond to questions and kept us updated on how our pup was doing. We had some travel glitches and Andrew was incredibly flexible to help. Our pup loved his yard and we will be sure to book again.”
“Yitong was an excellent caregiver for our Berner. He communicated well, sent us pictures, and handled walking our big and sometimes jumpy dog multiple times per day. We wouldn’t hesitate rebooking. Highly recommend!”
“Monica and Razvan were awesome. They were very diligent up front, making sure my dog was fully vaccinated and would get along with other dogs; as a result, you can be sure your dog will be safe and happy. They have a great yard for dogs and live near good parks. While our dog stayed with them for a week, they sent plenty of photos and updates. And they were very flexible about drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend them and will use them in the future.”

Amy was amazing! She watched my 13 year old active senior dog and took great care of him! From daily updates and photos, to handling his senior needs of pills, toothpaste, and water additives, to handling his issues with other large dogs, to taking him on long walks, Amy did it all! My pup was so pooped out from having a great time that he went to bed early when I got home. I would absolutely trust any to watch my pup again!
Natalie was fabulous. I hesitate to leave such a good review, because I want to make sure she can take care of our dog next time we are in need. She is obviously very caring and loving. She was very attentive to our dogs needs, and wanted to be sure she understood his schedule ahead of time. Great communication and send frequentupdates while we were away.
Makenna did a wonderful job watching our dog JJ over the weekend. She sent me photos and kept me informed with how he was doing. Jj can be a bit anxious and she helped him feel so safe, he even ate a meal the first day (he doesn’t always do that). Jj got to go on a lot of walks with her too. I highly recommend Makenna and I would definitely use her services again when we are in the AA area. 5 stars
Elka never boarded with a family before... and she clearly LOVED Jenn and the family! I couldn't have found anyone that was better for her to be with... the boys played with her, she hung out with the family - and seemed to be so much at home. When I brought her home yesterday - she started to go into different rooms looking for something.. I really think she was looking for the boys to play with. The daily pictures with Elka hanging with and playing with the family gave so much peace of mind. I certainly recommend them! Roz
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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 .
As of September 2026, there are 1,056 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ann Arbor. 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.
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.
