“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!”
“We found ourselves in a bit of a jam before a planned trip after our long-term arrangement ended. Luckily, we found Theresa and Adrian! We initially discussed our ask - a few days stay - and agreed to bring over our Lucy for a quick visit. They were very attentive with great questions about Lucy's needs and habits. Lucy decided to be very ill-behaved at the visit and we offered to connect them with our previous sitter to confirm her usual behavior, which they took us up on. When we dropped off Lucy for the stay, she was wagging her tail and went in without a pause! They sent us pics and updates while we were away, which was such a relief and let us enjoy our time with family. When we arrived to pick up Lucy, she barked at the knock like it was her house! A good sign. She was happy to be home, but so much less stressed than if we had boarded her at the commercial place nearby. We would absolutely request to have Lucy stay with them again if they'll have her!”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“Angela was great! She made Dobby feel comfortable, and kept me in the loop about how he was doing while I was away. Now he's home and crashed out from all the fun.”
“Natalia is a fantastic dog boarder! Both she and her husband were so welcoming and took excellent care of Whiskey. I especially appreciated how accommodating and flexible they were with my pick-up and drop-off schedule. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”
“Frankie came home tired and that’s a sign of a good stay. We got updates and pictures during our overnight boarding and we’re very pleased. Will definitely use Whitney & Samuel in the future.”
“Jess was great! Juni came back very happy and I had no worries when she was with her. I got pictures of Juni throughout the week and Jess was very accommodating of our travel plans - both of which were VERY appreciated! Would highly recommend :)”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Literally a God send!!! Azariah cared for our baby, like she was her own! I even extended her stay twice! She kept us updated on how our baby was doing. She sent pics & videos. She didn’t just “pet sit.” She LOVED our baby! Azariah was more than accommodating! I’m praying she’s available every time we need her in the future!”
“Whitley was absolutely phenomenal, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough! She cared for our senior cat, Panda Bear, for almost a month while we were relocating, and knowing he was in her care gave us complete peace of mind. Panda Bear is an older cat, so leaving him for an extended period was incredibly difficult. From day one, Whitley treated him as if he were her own. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, making sure he was comfortable, well-loved, and happy throughout his stay. One of the things we appreciated most was her communication. She sent us regular updates, photos, and messages about how Panda Bear was doing, which meant the world to us during such a stressful time. It was so reassuring to see him relaxed, receiving affection, and settling in so well with her. When we picked him up, he was healthy, content, and clearly had been very well cared for. It was obvious that he had received plenty of love and attention while we were away. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, and goes above and beyond for your pet, Whitley is the person you want. We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care she gave Panda Bear, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you, Whitley, for taking such amazing care of our sweet boy!”
“I recently boarded my dog, Marty, with Erika again for the 3rd time, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Erika's genuine love for dogs and her professional approach made me feel completely at ease. Marty came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared-for. Highly recommend Erika for her exceptional dog boarding services! we will be back!”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, and I sell baked goods every other Sunday, but I have time to be in and out on those days. I have a medium-small 3rd floor apartment with a very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.
“This was my pup's first stay with Sofia, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the holiday weekend, which really helped me relax knowing my girl was happy and well cared for. Sofia's communication was excellent, and I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave my pup. I'd absolutely book another stay and highly recommend her!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received while we were away. Steven went above and beyond to ensure Baylee was comfortable, happy, and well-loved. He was also very accommodating with drop off and pick up. We received regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. We returned home to a happy dog! We highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a awesome dog sitter. We'll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Manu was so gracious and helpful. Taking in my old puppy for a couple of days while I went to visit family. She gave a lot of updates and asked a lot of pertinent questions. I would highly recommend Manu and will definitely feel comfortable for Tegan to stay with her again in the future.”

Jeanette took such good care of Maverick, he had the best time and came home happy and healthy! She even accommodated special requests for him at the last minute. Great communication from start to finish, with lots of updates and photos. Will definitely be rebooking.
Jess was an absolute lifesaver to us. We had a last-minute trip out of Detroit and our dog could not fly with us. A friend of ours recommended us signing up for Rover and that’s how we found Jess. Our little fella took to Jesse immediately, and that put us all at ease, leaving our Furry Baby with a stranger. It was apparent he was very comfortable around her immediately. While we were gone she sent pics without us having to request them. We wish there were more stars to give! Thank you Jess!!
I had never left my dog Darcy with anyone except my stepson, so I was worried how she would react. Vanessa was great. We met up with her twice before the booking, so she wasn't a stranger to Darcy. Vanessa sent pictures, which really helped put my mind at rest. Thank you.
Kayla was incredible with Suko. I could tell he was well taken care of because he kept begging me for treats and to go outside, haha~ I love it because I wanted him to have a vacation too while I was away. He's a senior pup now and I get nervous/anxious leaving him with anyone, but family (couldn't this time because all my family was on the trip). I would trust Kayla again with Suko any time. She sent photos every day and kept me updated. You can't go wrong with her!
10/10 he took Evie in on a few days prior, that right there is enough for me, he sent beautiful pictures of my Evie. Not only that but Ekow is able to take care of hyper active dogs, who need to do alot, and sometimes have trouble listening. That is what you call a sitter, will definitely book with him again!!
Yelitsa did such a wonderful job with our dog Mia! I received so many updates, at least 2 a day. She did well with administering my dog’s daily medication and keeping up with our regular feeding schedule in her home. Overall, my dog looked super happy every day and Yelitsa went above and beyond with exercise, treats and play time. We will definitely be booking with her again and I’d recommend her to anyone in need of pet sitting!
Allesha did a great job, as always, taking care of Mylo. Even though it had been a long time since they last saw each other, Mylo's excitement said it all! I was kept updated throughout his stay and received plenty of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Allesha responded quickly to all my messages and made sure Mylo was comfortable and well cared for at all times. He came home happily exhausted, which showed just how much fun he had. I would definitely book with Allesha again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Detroit on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,566 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Detroit. 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.
94% of Detroit 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 Detroit 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 Detroit 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 Detroit.
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 Detroit 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.
