“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.”
“Janine was wonderful with Dixie and made him feel very comfortable. She kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos throughout his stay, and was incredible accommodating with our last minute schedule changes. Her kids were also so sweet and loved Dixie. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs & cats for as long as I can remember! I love taking them on walks, playing with them, & giving them plenty of pets, cuddles & snuggles. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful little puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. My friends & family have lots of dogs, so I’m comfortable and familiar with interacting with various breeds of all sizes & ages. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, & I enjoy getting to know them & making sure they feel safe, comfortable, & loved. I’ll also send plenty of updates & pictures of your fur baby throughout their stay to give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’m super flexible, so whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! :) I have complete open availability! I work occasionally on a per diem basis, which means I have a flexible schedule & can accommodate a variety of times throughout the day. Whether you need early mornings, afternoons, evening care, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work with your schedule & your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible, so don’t hesitate to reach out if something comes up unexpectedly! I can be home throughout the day to keep a close eye on your fur baby, give them plenty of attention, & make sure they feel safe, comfortable, & loved. I’m super flexible, so I’ll do my best to accommodate you and your pet! Your pet’s safety, comfort, & happiness are my top priorities! My apartment complex has a little gated park & a mini dog park where your pup can enjoy some fresh air, exercise, & playtime. I also live right off the Detroit River, so I can take your furry friend on a nice, relaxing stroll along the boardwalk & enjoy the beautiful scenery! My apartment is over 1,000 square feet, so there’s plenty of room for your pets to play, explore, & feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a 10-foot cat tree for any kitties who decide to stay, giving them plenty of space to climb, perch, & enjoy themselves! I always make sure to keep pets safe, supervised, & comfortable while following their individual routines & needs. Whether we're going for walks, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I’ll make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, & care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have to make sure your pet feels right at home.

About: Just like most people, I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I wouldn’t know what life would be like without pups in the home! I work full time approximately 15 minutes from my home. During the summer, I play softball locally and bring the pups with me to games. I have a decent size fenced backyard! It provides the pups plenty of room to run and play. I live in a spacious home as well which provided them room to play and eat.
About: I’ve raised and taken care of my own pets, friends and neighbors over the years. I work from home where I run my business and would be happy to attend to your fur babies. My home has a fenced in backyard and we also have a very walkable neighborhood. Our community is very safe and clean as well as my house. Our basement is the perfect indoor space for pets of any size so they can have their very own room in the house, but of course they are welcome anywhere. I create my own schedule and work from my house. I miss having a pet around when I’m not traveling so find this as a happy alternative. Whatever accommodations your pet needs I can provide it. We have space indoors and outdoors for any pet and I pride myself on being a very attentive caregiver.
“Susan did a fantastic job watching our GSP, Missy. Missy is a little anxious & nervous, and Susan knew just how to handle her. Susan provided frequent updates and pictures which assured us she was in good hands. In addition, Susan was graciously flexible with drop off and pickup times since we were working around our DTW flights. Thank you so much Susan! We will definitely consider you again for watching our Missy!”
About: I grew up having dogs in my home and in my family. I’m experienced in caring for dogs that are diabetic or pre diabetic. I will care for your fur babies like they’re my own and make them feel at home. They will get plenty love and attention while they are in my care. I currently work on Monday through Thursday and at home on Fridays. I will always make sure your fur baby is cared for as directed. I have a fenced in yard and we will also go on walks. I like to get dogs out even if we go for treats.
“Ginsberg had a great time while we were gone. Teresa made her a part of the family letting her warm up at her own pace. She loved hanging out in the huge backyard with friends and lounging on the couch watching household activities and sleeping. Highly recommend Teresa. She’s sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see Ginsberg was happy and relaxed.”
“George and his team watched my puppy Tommy over the weekend and took great care of him! Tommy had previously stayed at another boarding facility and he came home very depressed and just wasn’t acting like himself so we were a little nervous about his stay - but we had no need to be - Tommy came home so happy and energetic from his stay with George, his usual self! George sent us photos and an update of Tommy exploring their property and he was always available by text. Very grateful for him & his team - we will definitely be using his services again! Thank you :)”
“Very communicative with daily check-in and lots of pictures and videos. Also went above and beyond by allowing me to pick up my dog later than Rover allows due to a flight delay. She is my go to boarding person.”
About: Starting 5 years ago, I began working in the pet care field as a kennel technician. I have now added veterinary assisting to my repertoire, going on 2 years. This abundance of nuanced experience has allowed me to effectively to care for all pets sick or well, young or old, and small or large! I am currently a full time vet technician, but I can definitely fit in pet-sitting, walk-ins, and or dog walks throughout the week. I usually am home for free time and love to keep busy so I have flexible availability. I usually let my dog free roam the house when we are winding down after a walk or fetch. Interaction is key to a healthy mindset for pets, so I try to entertain them as much as possible!

Megan was wonderful with our elderly dachshund! Piper is finicky and gets grumpy and Megan was absolutely wonderful with her. She is very intuitive and tuned in to animals, what they need and what they are comfortable with. Piper loved staying with her. When we picked her up her tail was wagging at the house and she was very comfortable and settled in. Megan is a gift to all of us!
As always, Millie received phenomenal care during her stay at Kerri's. Without a doubt, she goes above and beyond to ensure my dog is happy, safe, and healthy. My shy girl actually looks forward to spending time at her star sitter's house. Thank you again Kerri, for all you do! Jeanette M.
Aaron and Andrea were so highly reviewed and recommended, and now we know why! They were so terrific with Pecan and I was surprised that she did not act happier to see me, LOL. I'm pretty sure she was spoiled with love, attention and fun, she wasn't sure she wanted to come home! We are looking forward to having them sit for Pecan again.
Lisah was wonderful with our dog! She was very responsive and sent us pictures while we were away. He looked like he was the one on vacation, playing and cuddling on the couch! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. We’d definitely book with Lisah again!
Andy was great with our Remy! We were in a pinch because of a late cancellation (family emergency) by a different sitter, and Andy was super accommodating and understanding. Andy knew how to easy Remy into her new environment. We received great communication and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend and will definitely use Andy again!
We had a wonderful experience with Tanios! This was Sparky and Milo’s first time staying with him, and they stayed for 5 nights. Milo has a little separation anxiety when we leave him, especially when staying with someone new, so on the first day he was a bit unsettled and was whining/whistling for us. He’s also a picky eater and wasn’t very interested in eating at first. To top it off, there was a thunderstorm and even a tornado warning during their stay, which made him a little more uneasy. Tanios was incredibly patient, caring, and understanding with Milo. He made an extra effort to help him feel comfortable and even gave him chicken so he would eat. By the second day, Milo had settled in beautifully and was feeling completely comfortable. Tanios was wonderful with both Milo and Sparky and consistently sent us updates, which was very reassuring, especially since this was their first stay with him. Both pups came home super happy and well cared for! We truly appreciate the care and attention Tanios gave them and would definitely trust him with Sparky and Milo again. Highly recommend!
They were recommended to us by a previous guest. We did an overnight stay to test run a longer trip in the future. She was very communicative, receptive, and sent pictures and pupdates without me asking. Definitely recommened if you are looking for a comfortable stay for your pet!
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.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,730 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Dearborn Heights. About 93% of Dearborn Heights sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
