“Andrew took amazing care of our dog!! He was extremely proactive ahead of time by doing a meet and greet and accommodating specific requests. He communicated regularly during the stay with pictures and videos. He went above and beyond by reinforcing our dog’s training during his stay. Andrew took it in stride when our dog rolled in something smelly and returned him to us bathed and happy :)”
“Guinness loves coming here. He enjoys the other dogs in the house and the play time in the backyard. He always comes home exhausted from all the fun he’s had with Tonya.”
“Rachel and her partner Michael were super patient with our anxious pup on his first boarding experience with non-family. Rachel sent helpful updates and pics that set our whole family at ease. And our pup had his first upclose encounter with cats - and it went well! Rachel was also accomodating with some last-minute changes - thank you! Would definitely recommend and look forward to our pup's next stay with Rachel.”
“Snickers hadn’t stayed at a “stranger’s” house in years but she adapted well at Paula’s. Snickers thinks that she is too old to play but apparently she LOVED Paula’s big back yard. Snickers was in good spirits when I picked her up and I would definitely use her again.”
“JoAnn did a great job of caring for Tico, while we were on an extended vacation. She set pictures every day, always knew when Tico had his daily walks. She also ensured that Tico’s nail recovered from its injury. I highly recommend JoAnn.”
“Andrew is amazing with my five month old puppy! He gently teaches him and provides excellent care. Jasper gets lots of play time and cuddle time. I highly recommend Andrew!”
“We love Irma & Daniel! This was our second time using their boarding services for our dog, Sakari, and it is obvious she had a fabulous time and loves them too! We received frequent updates and pictures that let us know Sakari was getting tons of attention, playtime, walks, and love! She can be very weary of newer people, but she warmed right up to them. We will definitely be using their service again in the future!”
“Ariana took amazing care of Murphy for us. As a senior dog he has his quirks and Ariana worked to make sure he was happy and content. Lots of communication that made us feel at ease knowing Murphy was well cared for. We highly recommend Ariana to watch your fur baby.”
“Anthony was so sweet with my anxious baby girl! I got lots of pics and videos while she was with him which was very appreciated. Would definitely love to use him again!”
“Andria and Mike were wonderful with Oakley! They were warm and welcoming from our first Meet & Greet, and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. They sent a couple of updates during her stay, including photos of walks and cozy couch time, which gave me a nice glimpse of how she was doing. Everything went smoothly, and Oakley came home happy and well cared for. I’d definitely be happy to have her stay with them again!”
“Cortez and Jessica took such good care of my 2 dogs. They sent video and photos of the dogs doing various things that helped to calm my anxiety about leaving them. They have the cutest little dog who seemed to get along well with mine. They were fast to respond to my booking request and set up a meet and greet and very easy to work with. I felt that my dogs were well taken care of while I was gone and will definitely use them again! Thank you Cortez and Jessica!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Jax while we were out of town! We really appreciated all the photo updates they gave us peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Faith to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“This family cares. They care about pets. About communication. About making travel and pet care as stressed as possible. I think my dog had a better time during my vacation than I did. He was so well loved and cared for. And we were kept in the know with daily reports and photos that brought joy to each day. We are so delighted with the care our dog got from this living family.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Allan and his family. He was flexible, sent daily updates and photos, and our pup came home happy, stress free, and healthy. We would have our dog stay with Allan again anytime.”
“Debbie watched our 14 year old golden retriever Maggie for 11 days. She was great with updated photos of Maggie. Maggie was well cared for and we were very happy with Debbie.”
“We have a very needy senior dog and Heather did a great job with him. He can be high maintenance but she was very kind and patient and sent updates and pictures and said he was welcome back. We were very happy to have found her.”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She took great care of Cosmo, sent pictures every day, played fetch with him, and was happy to let him hang out outside as much as he wanted. She has a great backyard for dogs. We will definitely send Cosmo to Lindsey again!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carleton is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $64 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.

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 Carleton 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 Carleton 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 Carleton.
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 Carleton 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.
