“I had to find a last minute sitter because the one I initially booked had a family emergency. Kerri to the rescue! To say I was nervous is an understatement since I don’t normally have my dog stay with a sitter that watches other dogs at the same time but she communicated great throughout the stay and made sure that the dogs all stayed safe. I’ll definitely be using kerri again in the future!”
“Teddy had such a great time with Tara, her family, and her pups! He made friends and had a blast with them. She sent me pictures and a video while we were away which we appreciated so much. Tara is so amazing with animals and I would totally have her watch Teddy again! Thank you so much Tara.”
“Chris and Cass were awesome sitters! They are really kind, cool people who love dogs. My Sammy had a blast staying at their place and I know he loved it. I actually felt bad taking him back home because he was having so much fun :) My pup Sammy is a pretty nervous and anxious dude around strangers, but not Chris and Cass. He loved them both and I’m so happy to have met them.”
“I appreciated Dawn’s flexibility and compassionate care for my little Chico. She kept me informed of his activities and also updated me with pictures. Definitely will be rebooking with her if I need a sitter.”
“Megan watched my 12yr old Maltese for 5 days, and was a wonderful sitter. He came home happy and tired from all his play time with new friends. Bentley looks forward to visiting with Megan and Milo.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Anjana! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay. We truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda and her husband are wonderful animal lovers! My Gidjit stayed with them for 4 nights. Amanda sent many pics of my dog enjoying her doggie vacation with them! I will definitely have Gidjit stay again!!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!!”
“Chelsea was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! She was super communicative and we got picture updates everyday. With a last minute ear infection two days before our stay, she kept up with medications and made sure to check if it was healing! Wonderful stay for our two pups!”
“Dena was fantastic! Potter had the best time with her and her family. He played hard and was so well loved during his entire stay. Dena also did a great job with updates and photos which we appreciated so much, as it allowed us to get a glimpse into the amazing time potter was having. I couldn’t recommend her and her family enough! THANKS DENA!”
“Shannon was very good with our dog. She kept us posted on how he was doing with posts through Rover and lots of pictures. I could tell our dog felt at home with her and we found her communication and service with our dog to be top notch!! We will definitely use her again. A+ and very grateful.”
“Cheryl was great with Dixie (18lb Yorkie-Poo). We left her for a 5 night stay; Dixie settled in quickly & bonded almost immediately with Cheryl. We recevied daily updates & photos. We will definately leave our Dixie with Cheryl again.”
“Great overall! She communicates (sometimes a bit often), but you can tell it’s in her caring nature. She was able to go to rescue my baby after a Rover sitter left him home alone while I was out of town due to an “emergency”. Beverly was there step by step and I wouldn’t know what I would’ve done without her stepping in to get a ride to my place, pack him and his things, and take him in for boarding. She sent me pics and videos to ensure he was well taken care of. I would book with her again!”
About: I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pet! I love dogs and cats, and have one cat of my own. :) I currently care for family and friends pets when they are out of town, but would love to add a few more pets to my schedule for boarding/drop-ins or walks. I am responsible & reliable and will treat your pet with much love and care! My current availability is evenings after work and weekends. During the summer months (mid June, July, August) my availability is open and I can provide pet care any time. I will follow all directions and give your pets the same love and care I give my sweet babies at home! I am reliable and respectful of others home & pets. You can count on me to take excellent care of your pets!
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.
“Will definitely be returning! Sent so many picture updates, played with my dogs, brushed them, spent quality time with them and always answered my messages at any time, day or night.”
“Thanks so much again Rahied! I love how much Jack loves staying with you! Thank you for being so awesome and sending so many pictures and video! It's so wonderful to get pictures of him when we're travelling!! You're the best!”

I am so happy to have found Megan! She is truly a loving, responsible, and committed animal caregiver! Not only that, but she lives close to my home. On a daily basis, Megan provided me with updates regarding my penny’s status, including photographs. I definitely will use her services again.
Demi was absolutely amazing! She was very professional, caring, and went above and beyond while watching my pet. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my pet was surrounded by a loving family who helped provide plenty of care and attention. I could tell my pet was treated like family, and I truly appreciated the love and dedication. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dearborn Heights on Rover is $39.96 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 1,727 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dearborn Heights. 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 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.
