“Lia, Jonathan and their entire family are amazing! This was the first time I have used Rover, so I was very nervous. Jonathan and Lia sent updates, photos and videos throughout the day. They put my mind at ease and I was able to have a wonderful vacation. I think my sweet girl misses them, but we already booked her next two stays with them!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Winston came home a happy dog! He was well cared for. They loved all of his quirky habits. Having him stay at a place where he was comfortable allowed us to have more fun on our vacation.”
“Our two dogs were well cared for & loved while staying with Erin. She is extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do to handle our young dog who can be nervous in new situations. Not having to worry while on vacation because we knew our pets were in great hands was so nice!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Cynthia was a true gem and lifesaver when she helped us out when we were really in a pinch. House painter chaos, odors and noises became just too much for the two dogs and we humans even ended up at hotel (but no dogs allowed). Cynthia was able to really step in and provide wonderful care with lots of love for Buster and Bette. Trusting, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, excellent communicator, dog lover extraordinaire… that’s Cynthia.”
“Kristen is a 5-star sitter! As a first-time user and owner of a nervous Golden Retriever, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were communicative, caring, and made Katz feel comfortable immediately. Highly recommend for anyone with a “shy or anxious pup!"”
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.
“Communication was great! Ash looked happy in all pictures and it was clear he was well taken care of. He also ate all of the food I sent with him which has never happened which tells me he was a lot less anxious. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our furry friend!”

“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!”
“Sogol was so kind and caring and treated my dog as her own! I received the perfect amount of photos each day and a daily summary. highly recommend and I will definitely request Sogol again!”
“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!”
“Annmarie did a phenomenal job with my dog Xena! Her dogs were very friendly, and got along great. I came with very short notice, and she was very attentive, flexible and and communicative, and I'd 100% go back to her in the future. Extremely happy with my experience!”

I couldn’t be happier with Cynthia and the care she took watching my Shih Tzu Bodie. He is very attached to me and Cynthia took the time and patience to make him comfortable. It did not take him long to warm up and trust her. He loved her beautiful backyard and pictures she sent made me smile seeing him so happy. Will be using her again and again!
Erin and her family were fantastic. She replied quickly when looking for a booking, which makes you feel so much more relaxed when you can confirm asap. The meet-n-greet was easy to schedule, and allowed everyone to get comfortable. She sent pics and updates during the stay, enabling us to enjoy vacation knowing your dog is happy. Great experience.
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 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.
