“Laura was an amazing sitting. Our cats loved her and her family. She regularly sent updates with pictures. Fast reply and got our cats ready before we came to pick them up. Will definitely will return. 10 stars!!”
“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.”
“Soooo happy to have our fur baby stay with Lindsey and Justin and family! Our boy has never been so calm as he was after his stay with you guys. Thank you for caring for our boy like your own!!!”
“Annmarie was excellent and I trusted her 100% with my dog! She had great communication with me and was very quick to respond to me through the app! My dog looked happy in the photos and updates she sent and when I picked him up! She has years of experience with dogs and you can tell! I do highly recommend her and feel lucky to have another safe pet sitter for the future!”
“Tanner loved his sleep over and his new friend Rocky. Tetyana was great and sent pictures throughout Tanners stay, this helped a lot . This was our first time leaving Tanner over night and we plan on using Tetyana again in the future for sure. Pam and Fred”
“Ted, was amazing — he watched Odin for us on very short and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We’ve gotten to know him and his dog Maizey in the neighborhood over time (Maizey’s always so friendly with other dogs!), and he’s just a genuinely kind person. He took Odin on regular walks, sent us photos throughout the stay, and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter!”
““Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bhairoo! We received so many photos and videos that it honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation 😄 Bhairoo is usually nervous around strangers, especially men, but he got comfortable so quickly and was happily following Jonathan around asking for pets and cuddles. Seeing our gentle giant so relaxed and happy meant everything to us. Highly recommend — caring, patient, communicative, and clearly amazing with dogs!””
“Amanda was very accommodating for our anti-social, lazy senior dog. He had his own private space in her guest bedroom where he could retreat when he needed some quiet. This was our first time using Rover and we were pleasantly surprised — would definitely recommend Amanda for any future pet sitting needs.”
About: I love dogs! I have 2 small dogs who are very friendly and loves to play with other pups :). I have a fenced yard and a lot of toys! Me and my husband work both work from home, so your pup would be with me all day! I play with my dog several times a day in my backyard, and your dog will be part of it :D I have a nice fenced yard for your pup's potty breaks, I will make sure he has fun being safe. I will be with your dog the whole time!
“Elaine sweet and accommodating. She accepted our last minute request to spend time with our pup. He played all weekend and is still sleeping as I am typing this review. We hope to see her in the future again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities for years. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while away. I’m patient, reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies, shy pets, and senior animals who need extra care and attention. If you’re looking for someone you can leave your pets with and truly not have to worry about while you’re away, look no further. I own my own business, so I make my own hours. If I am away during the day, it is for a very short period of time. I keep my own animals on a very predictable schedule. I have a fully fenced in yard and a clean, pet-friendly home where animals are treated like family. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and love while sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, reliable, and attentive to both the pets and the home. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Annette was AMAZING with our dog! We were a little hesitant leaving her for a week, but Annette and her dog Ethel soon made us very comfortable with being gone! We received many pictures and updates throughout the week!! Our girl looked so happy and well taken care of! Annette made such an effort to make sure our dog felt loved while we were gone - and it showed!! We will definitely be using Annette again in the future!”
“Amazing, definitely highly recommend. Our dog and cat are very social and need a lot of attention and they were very happy and comfortable from the start. Very responsive, friendly, provided a lot of updates and pictures. We found our go to for any future need for watching our pets.”
“Rachel and her family did an amazing job watching Drake while I was out of town! He had a blast, they took the best care of him, she communicated great and sent plenty of pictures while I was away. Highly recommend and I will definitely be booking with her again next time I go out of town!”
“We had such a great support from Mayrannie. She sent us Dingdong's picture everyday and seemed Dingdong was also happy. Definitely we recommend Mayrannie. Fence wall is completely surrounded at her home and it's spacious so any energetic dog can be best fit. Mayrannie's dog Kiara is also very nice. We will ask her help again.”
“April was absolutely wonderful! First off, she's an incredibly sweet and nice person. Second, she was able to accommodate a last minute boarding for my puppy who had just gotten spayed. Her dogs also made sure to become friends with mine, which Daisy definitely needs. I will most likely be booking with April again!”
“Nirusha was amazing and very flexible. Our dog Lulu was very well taken care of and very happy to see us. We appreciated the walks she took Lulu on and the great photos and videos she sent. We will definitely be rebooking!”
“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.”
“Thea took excellent care of our dog, Joey, while we were away. That makes for an even better vacation knowing that your pet is safe and in such wonderful care. We're looking forward to working with Thea again soon. Thank you!”

Ted, was amazing — he watched Odin for us on very short and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We’ve gotten to know him and his dog Maizey in the neighborhood over time (Maizey’s always so friendly with other dogs!), and he’s just a genuinely kind person. He took Odin on regular walks, sent us photos throughout the stay, and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing a trustworthy, attentive sitter!
Annette watched my dog Daisy for 3 days and 2 nights in her home, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Daisy has a lot of anxiety, and Annette went out of her way to make her feel safe and comfortable. She gave Daisy plenty of cuddles, took her on walks, and was very patient and caring throughout the stay. Annette also has a very sweet dog named Ethel, and Daisy really enjoyed playing with her, which helped Daisy relax and feel more at home. Annette kept me updated during the stay and sent pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It’s clear that Annette genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Yvonne and Bert were great with our 13 year old dog. They made sure she got her meds daily. They stayed in contact with us with pictures and text messages. They have a doggy door that I really didn’t have high hopes for our dog to use, but she did with some coaxing. I would highly recommend Yvonne and Bert. They are definitely dog people and pretty laid back.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Clarkston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clarkston on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,412 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clarkston. 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.
96% of Clarkston 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 Clarkston 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 Clarkston 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 Clarkston.
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 Clarkston 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.
