“We had one of the best boarding experiences on Rover! We had a sudden change of trip plan that put us in a tight scheduling spot but Tara and her family were extremely kind to accommodate a last-minute request for boarding our five-year-old Border Collie. Our family was able to enjoy our trip worry-free trip due to Tara's frequent text updates about Astor, accompanied by photos and videos of him looking relaxed and happy. We look forward to visiting Tara and her family again!”
“Christopher and Cassandra have been great for Diesel. They kept us updates about the stay, sending pictures and videos and letting us know how he was settling in as this was our first time with them. They were flexible with drop off and pickup times and will surely have them at the top of our list for next time.”
About: I started dog sitting when I was a young teenager, but I didn’t have my own dog until 2019. Since then I’ve been able to watch friends and family members dogs. I used Rover services for my own dog and realized it would be fun to care for others’ pets and provide play dates for my dog at the same time. I work from home Monday-Friday and we’re typically home on weekends. My dog is friendly and happy to play with others or relax all day. We have a fenced in yard and are very focused on safety. We have plenty of sidewalks to take walks on. I allow dogs on furniture and have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“I want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such great care of Donatello! When we adopted him we had already had a family trip planned. We were nervous to find care for him but Anthony took it on with ease! We got so many pictures and videos we felt like we knew where he was at all times and we could see he was enjoying his puppy buddy. Would highly recommend Anthony!!!”
“Megan did an amazing job taking care of our boy! She was always watching him and sending us pictures and updates. Bodoque loves her and her partner Greg. We will definitely book Megan again and recommend her to all our friends and family.”
“Dawn was great! We got updated with pictures and video. Bella really enjoyed her time. I highly recommend Dawn and I will be reaching out to her on our next trip away. Thank you, Dawn 🐾”
“Rubin seemed to really enjoy his stay! Beverly kept me posted about Rubin throughout the day with pictures and video, and she was very attentive. I would definitely leave Rubin with Beverly again!”
“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“Megan did a great job taking care of my baby while I was gone on a vacation for the long weekend. I received daily updates, pictures and videos of my dog playing with her puppy. She also bathed him and kept him in comfort during the Father’s Day fireworks. I am beyond impressed, thankful and appreciative to her love towards the fur babies!!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and had dogs in my own home for 10+ years. I have had experience ranging from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and diabetes. I work remotely from my home and will make sure your pet has all the attention that they need. While I have your pet I will ensure they are only left alone briefly for necessary errands. I have a fenced backyard and one well mannered if energetic pup. Your dog will receive as much love and care as my own. From snuggles on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and games of fetch in the back yard.
“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
“Kind, friendly, so easy to work with. Rahied made what was an anxious situation for me, completely worry-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. I knew my furry friend was in good hands right at the moment I met Rahied. I have no reservations about recommending him.”
“Laura was great with my dog Blue. Blue seemed to really enjoy just hanging out in the fenced in yard and lounging on the patio. Laura made sure she gave my dog plenty of attention and love and shared lots of pictures. We will definitely use Laura again!”
“We had such a great first Rover experience with Shannon! She sent updates and pictures of our dog several times a day, and she was professional from start to finish. We’ll definitely call on her again when we need dog-sitting!”
“Tiffany was my main point of contact and she was so sweet and caring with my senior (14yo) husky mix Molly. I received updates each day morning, and night, and she took my Moll Doll on tons of walks. Molly got to sleep on furniture and I can tell she had the time of her life in the new comfy environment. It was such a relief knowing that she was so well loved while I was away that now I feel like I need to take her back for visits to her new favorite home away from home.”
“Christina was amazing, she kept us informed the whole time, sent pictures and Forrest had a blast. Our flight was eight hours delayed and she was kind and patient. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting.”
“Amie was amazing for our Bellamy! I could always count on detailed daily reports and pictures. I knew he was being cared for and loved just as at home. And playing with her dogs and family made him so happy! I think he already misses being at their house. 🥲”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Dearborn Heights is $45

I'm giving Kerri a Roarrrring review!! She is a very warm sweethearted person. Who loves her "Wiggle Butt Committee" members. Tucker was so relaxed at her home. She sent videos of him running around with his new furry friends. Tucker had the best reaction to Kerri, her home and her lovely backyard. He was happy when I drop him off and content when I picked him up a week later! Thank you
Demi was the BEST! I would highly recommend her as a sitter. She sent me pictures and videos of my sweet Mercedes. Always responded to my questions and gave me updates on Mercedes day. Mercedes was very comfortable with Demi and her family. I think Mercedes want to adopt Demi and her family as her second family :) I loved that Demi house was very pet friendly and lots of room in the backyard for Mercedes to run around. Demi was very gentle and loving towards Mercedes. Which Mercedes loves because hugs and snuggles is her favorite.
Megan was an amazing dog sitter. She checked in with me regularly and kept me updated throughout my trip. I truly appreciated that her top priority was making sure my dog was comfortable, which gave me peace of mind during my vacation. Knowing that Bacon was well cared for and comfortable allowed me to fully enjoy my time away. I will definitely book with her again for my next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
This is the second time Finley was taken care of by Leslie. She sends updates and pictures of our Yorkie to us so we won’t worry about him. He is happy and comfortable staying with her. If we need a sitter for Finley in the future we know we can trust her to care for him.
Megan was amazing with Archie and took excellent care of him. Archie got regular walks and She kept constantly updated about him which I intern helped us relax on our vacation. She also went out of the way to boil some fresh chicken and turkey which Archie relished. Thank you Megan
Everything was amazing! Joanne is so amazing with everything and I know that my fur baby is in the best hands whenever she is watching him. The updates with pics and videos is so great to get when away and lets me know with certainty that our pup is doing well and having a good time. Thank you again for an amazing stay!

95% of Dearborn Heights 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 Dearborn Heights 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 Dearborn Heights 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 Dearborn Heights.
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 Dearborn Heights 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.
