“If I could give 10 stars, I would! Our dog Mabel had the time of her life. We received updates throughout each day with pictures and videos, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. They have a very spacious backyard where the dogs can run and play. I honestly don’t think Mabel wanted to come home after her stay! We can’t thank them enough and would absolutely book again!”
“Sarge had a great time staying with Amanda, and thoroughly enjoyed playing with the other dogs. He came home happy and healthy. We received regular picture and video updates, which everyone enjoys and is greatly appreciated. Would definitely consider again for future needs. Thank you!”
“We trust Cynthia completely with our two golden retrievers. She has a nice big clean yard for them to play in. She sends pictures while we are away and gives them love and attention. We will definitely book again.”
“Eunju was very caring for my senior dog Lemon and gave her TLC. She provided photos and updates and was understanding and accommodating. Lemon was in good spirits and very relaxed when we picked her up. I hope that Eunju will be available in the future to care for Lemon. Thank you, Eunju.”

“We had a wonderful experience leaving Rosie with Lyndsey and Justin for vacation. They were close to home, took one dog at a time, and gave us updates and cute pictures. Thank you very much!”
“Sogol was nice, kind, thoughtful helpful, caring.... I could go on and on. She not only took great care of O.C., she sent pictures regularly and informative updates almost hourly! "Thank you" is not enough. Sogol is wonderful.”
“Alexis is the absolute BEST! She watched our two dogs for 2 weeks while we were away for our wedding. We were so at ease knowing they were in such good care. Our dogs had the best time at Alexis’ and were actually sad to leave. Thanks so much, Alexis! Finn and Soph will definitely be back!”
“Briana did an amazing job taking care of our high energy hound, Bodie! Getting regular updates, including pictures and video, helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing he was well taken care of and enjoying himself, as well. I would highly recommend Briana and will be using her again! Thank you Briana!”
“Vinata and her family were amazing looking after our dog! They looked after him so well. They sent us constant updates and loved him like he was their own dog. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Elaine took care of our dog for a week and was incredibly kind and thoughtful. While we were away on our trip, she kept us updated regularly so we wouldn’t worry, which I truly appreciated. Thanks to her kindness and consistent communication, we were able to enjoy our vacation with complete peace of mind. I will definitely trust her with our dog again next time!”
“Sarah was a great host for our dogs while we went away for 2 weeks. She helped coronate an initial meet and greet to make sure the dogs got along and we were comfortable leaving them. She was also incredibly responsive to all texts leading up to our stay and during, as well as keeping us updated with pictures the entire time. She let our boys make themselves at home, which we really appreciated. 10/10 stay, would use her and family as a host again! Thanks so much!”
“My 6 year old pitty mix stayed 7 days with Laura and Joe while I was away on vacation. I couldn’t have been more happy with the great loving care they provided for my dog. Laura sent frequent photos and updates daily to let me know my girl was enjoying her stay. Huge fenced yard to run and play ball. And lots of cuddles on the couch. I love that Laura only sits one pet family at a time. I highly recommend Laura and her husband Joe and will definitely contact her again when in need for a sitter for my girl.”
“First time with my puppy. Jamie was super nice with her (and her energy). She was very happy with Jamie's dogs and had a great time. (was exhausted after) . Nina will come back for sure. THNX”

Memphis seemed to have a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in her care. I would definitely book with Daniella again and highly recommend her!”
About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
“We had a wonderful experience with Anirudhh! They were caring, responsible, and attentive to Simba’s needs. They kept us updated, made sure our dog was comfortable and happy, and treated our furry family member with so much love. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Simba was in such good hands. We truly appreciate their care and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dog sitter!”
“Grateful for many updates and pictures! It was clear someone was always at home with bug, that he was well cared for, and always kept an eye on. Much love given to him during this stay!! She alerted me on how his slept, his poops, and anything else! Kids were great with him as well!! Their dog was fun for Bug to play with! Did not go inside or see what home environment was like such as in a meet and greet.”
“Grant is a great guy. He treated my dog as if he was his own. Grant is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog adores him and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see him interact with your dog that it is not just a business to him, it is his love.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Auburn Hills is £45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Auburn Hills
I could not have been happier with our experience if I had stayed home with her myself!!! Moving to a new area is always a bit daunting when it comes to finding the right fit for your pet and I truly feel like I hit the jackpot of loving homes! My rescue dog was living her best life with Erin and her family while I was out of town. I received regular updates with photos, making my travels worry and stress free! I'm so incredibly grateful and will definitely be rebooking when I need a sitter in the future!!!
Cynthia B. was amazing. Cynthia was caring, reliable and attentive to our dogs needs. She treated our dog like her own, providing lots of love, attention and care. Communication was excellent and we felt completely at ease knowing our fur baby was being so well cared for. She updated and sent pictures of our dog every morning and I could tell from our dogs smiling face that she was in good hands. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their dog! Thank you Cynthia!!
I think Shivambika did a very good job with my 7 lb. Yorkshire Terrier. She learned about and respected some of his breed’s idiosyncrasies. She took him into her yard, on a leash, & to a nearby trail. No doubt he loved that. It was my fault that he had to be exposed to another dog for his last 3 days, as I initially got my return date wrong . But he dealt with that pretty well, it seems.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Auburn Hills is $45 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $105 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.

As of October 2026, there are 1,500 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Auburn Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Auburn Hills 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 Auburn Hills 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 Auburn Hills.
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 Auburn Hills 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.
