“Allesha is a wonderful sitter for Spot I get videos and pictures on every day of Spot’s starts with Allesha Spot is so excited every time she sees visits Allesha is hands down the best!!”
“Steven looked after Dipstick with love and affection. From the videos, I could see that my dog enjoyed having lots of butts to sniff. 😂 I definitely will be using Steven’s services again.”
“I am so grateful to Lasya and Seshu for being such wonderful hosts to my beloved Sage. They went above and beyond to accommodate my last-minute booking during a family emergency, which truly meant a lot to me. Sage had an incredible time with Lasya, Seshu, and their adorable dog, Simba. It warmed my heart to see how well Sage and Simba bonded, bringing joy to each other throughout the stay. I can’t recommend Lasya and Seshu highly enough, they genuinely are the best. You can rest assured that your furry friend will be treated with the utmost love, care, and respect in their hands.”
“Could not be happier with our experience with Emily and Jason!!! Completely professional, warm and friendly with the whole experience. We started with a casual meet and greet to ensure her baby Larry and my babies would get along ok. Then during their stay she sent us tons of updates and photos every day. My dogs came home so happy. Truly the best experience we have ever had on Rover. She even sent them home with little treats and a hand written card. Will absolutely be a repeat customer, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABOVE & BEYOND If you are looking for a place to board your baby, stop scrolling right now. Seriously. You’ve found the best of dog boarding! Brandon doesn't just "watch" dogs—he basically invites them to a 5-star bootcamp where they also learn how to be the "Goodest Boys and Girls" in existence. Why your dog will love him (and you will too): * The Training Magic: The passion for training is real! * The Vibe: Most boarders are "drop-off and pray." Here? It’s pure love. * Best in Town: No competition. None. Zero. If you want your pup to have a better vacation than you're having, this is the spot. I’d give it 12 stars if Rover let me. Absolute legend! 🐾”
“Whitley took such great care of my senior dog. Shout outs for the last minute accomodation. I really appreciated the videos, reports and that her dog was such a good host too.”
“Provided great care to our Boston terrier who has separation anxiety. Replied very quick and was flexible with pick up/drop off times which was so helpful! Would book again for sure! :)”
“This was our first time leaving Vegas with someone and Ashley did amazing with her. We didn’t have time to do any pre-interview with Ashley, but she immediately made us feel comfy. Vegas had a great time — would definitely recommend!! Thank you!!!”
“I highly recommend Manu for any dog boarding. She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated with photos. Our shepherd/husky cross is a pretty big and energetic girl, but Manu kept her busy and happy. Manu made everything simple and clearly takes great care of our dog.”
“I had a great experience with Cody and would absolutely book with him again. Throughout my dog’s 6-night stay, I received updates and photos on days 1, 3, and 5, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog can be pretty anxious, especially in new environments, but Cody handled him with patience and care. When I picked him up, I could clearly tell he had grown comfortable and even formed a bond with Cody, which says a lot. He was nervous at drop-off, but it was reassuring to see how much more relaxed and at ease he was by the end of his stay. Cody created a safe, welcoming environment and was easy to communicate with throughout the process. I really appreciated the attention given to my dog’s needs and overall well-being. Thank you again for taking good care of him—I’d definitely trust Cody with my pup in the future.”

“I can’t imagine a better pet sitter than Lauren. She truly loves and understands animals and my dog took to her instantly. She sent daily photos and mgs about how he was doing, and he was a very happy boy. Plenty of attention, exercise and giving him his meds. Will definitely use her again. A+++”
“I had an amazing experience with Kadi! She was incredibly friendly, reliable, and showed so much love to my dog. Her communication was great and she sent regular photo updates which we loved. My dog came home happy and ready for a nap. I would refer her to anyone!”

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.
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 of Dog Boarding in Detroit is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,554 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Detroit can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Detroit home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
