“We had a wonderful boarding experience with Lia and Jonathan when Orla stayed overnight at their home. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They did an amazing job keeping us updated on how Orla was adjusting, sending photos and videos that really reassured us she was happy and settling in well. It was clear that they genuinely care about the dogs they host and treat them like part of the family. One thing that especially touched us was how gentle and sweet Orla was with their 18-month-old son. It was so heartwarming to see their son completely fall in love with her, and it showed how calm and well-handled the environment in their home is. We are very grateful for the care and attention they gave Orla and would absolutely trust them with her again. Highly recommend Lia and Jonathan to anyone looking for a loving, attentive place for their dog to stay.”
“Shivambika took care of my dog like her own. She sent me timely updates and kept me informed about my dog’s wellbeing. My dog was a little sad and wasn’t eating very well but Shivambika tried different things to make sure she eats well and she succeeded too. Her house is very clean and beautiful. I would definitely leave my dog there again.”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
“Erin did a wonderful job boarding my dog. I could tell that my dog was comfortable and happy, and it made me feel at ease on vacation knowing that my dog was in good hands. I would definitely book with Erin again and highly recommend her!”
“Kristen took great care of Toffee while I was away for a few days! She was very flexible with pick up and drop off times. I didn't have to worry about Toffee at all!”
“Mayrannie took care of my 9 month old pup for 3 weeks, while I had to travel. She was wonderful in doing multiple meet-and-greets to slowly introduce him to her environment. She took great care of my pup, sending me pictures almost every day. I highly recommend Mayrannie.”
“This was our 1st Rover experience & it was very positive. We've always relied on friends & family since we got him in 2021, but this time no one was available. We won't board him cause he is a rescue from the shelter. I did 5 or 6 different meet & greets & this was the best fit. I was super nervous to leave him with complete strangers, but they were so sweet & chill during the initial meeting, it just all fell into place. 3 of the highlights for me was their fenced in yard, they worked from home & their dog was very good with ours. Our dog is big, usually small dogs are intimidated by him. Not their doggy! He was so happy to have a buddy for the week. They sent pictures daily & allowed him to sleep wherever. I would absolutely book with them again.”
“Marissa did an awesome job taking care of my dog for 10 days. This was the first time we left him for a long period of time and he did great. He got a lot of attention and love, and he hesitated coming back home since he had so much fun! She also took care of him for a few weeks in the past for daily day care, and he had a blast! He used to get so excited going into the car every day to go to her house.”
“We took both of our dogs for 4 days to Dan. Our one dog had been to camp Bow Wow and hated it, the other had never been boarded. Both seemed happy (via daily pics sent). We would use them again”
“Thank Eunju, the 📸 and the consistency to care for my fur babies is very comforting. Eunju will greet you and help out immediately upon arrival. My dogs enjoyed their stay once again.❤️”
“Thank you DelLisa. 12 days is a long time to be away from our girl. But, with your pics and updates we knew that she was well cared. She had a ball with her new doggy friends. And, thanks for bathing her too. She was a happy as can be when we picked her up!”
“Amanda is wonderful! Kept in regular communication, and she sent regular updated with pictures and videos which we appreciated. Our dog was welcomed into her pack without any issues. Thanks Amanda!”
“Cynthia took amazing care of our dog. She was communicative and very understanding of his various needs. Our dog is high anxiety and has dealt with a lot of change recently; Cynthia was so sensitive to this and made sure that he was well taken care of physically and mentally while in her home. She treated Biscuit like her own dog and he was very comfortable with her as a result. We cannot say enough amazing things about Cynthia and her way with dogs!”
“Margaret was great with Jack. We asked for a special favor and she accommodated our request without hesitation. I can tell Jack had a great stay with her and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
“This was Mayas first time staying at someone’s house besides our family. They were super responsive and sent pictures of Maya while we were away. Bailey seemed like she had a great system for getting Maya comfortable when she first arrived. Also, they have an awesome fence that gave us such peace of mind. Maya was in great hands! We would totally book with them again in the future.”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m 30 years old and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up in a house full of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—my mom always had rescues and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels. Today, I have my own adopted 16 lb mixed-breed dog, and caring for him has only deepened my love and experience with dogs. I’m confident handling puppies and energetic dogs, and I truly enjoy walks, playtime, and giving them attention and care. For safety reasons, I prefer not to work with dogs that are overly aggressive or difficult to manage. My experience is focused entirely on dogs, so I’m not the best fit for cats or other types of pets. I’m available to foster small dogs in my apartment. I work from home and I’m able to walk him/her 3/4 times a day. I’m also available for drop-in visits between 6 AM–8 AM and anytime after 5 PM. I live in an apartment with a fenced area, which is great for safe outdoor time. I’m also happy to take your dog on walks outside around the neighborhood. I can feed, play with, and walk your dog, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
“Bella recieved excellent care during her stay enjoying walks and company of other pets. Annmarie was able to get Bella settled in comfortably and kept us updated. Highly recommended and Bella has now found a second home.”
“What can I say about Tim and Alexis I have not already said. Chase absolutely loves going there and loves the two of them. And her dogs are the perfect playmates for him and his vacation away from home.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Auburn Hills is $45

Thanks to Cynthia for another happy and fun boarding visit for our Abby. We received such fun and interesting updates each day about all the excitement our girl had with Cynthia and always such incredible quality pictures Cynthia took of our girl while we were out of the State. We never felt anxious or worried about leaving that far away with Cynthia taking care of Abby for us. Honestly, we can't imagine anyone else taking care of her. Even though we moved over an hour away from Cynthia, we don't mind the drive to provide peace of mind for our travel needs. Thanks so much, Cynthia!!! You help make things so easy when traveling. We enjoy our personal travel and our doggy enjoys her little vacation with YOU! See you again soon. A+++++
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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Auburn Hills on Rover is $46.62 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 1,517 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 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 Auburn Hills 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 Auburn Hills 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 Auburn Hills 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 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 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.
