“Super easy and informed stay with Jess. Even on short notice, she was accommodating and very helpful with pre-visit communication. Will happily have Mitchell visit again!”
“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!!”
“If you have a small dog, Beverly is unreal. My frenchie loves going to her home. She is given so much love, care and attention the entire time she is there. She has her own bed and rest area during the day with lots of toys. She never goes in a crate or cage, and plays all day long. At night Beverly lets my cookie sleep in the bed. If you are reading this go no further, Beverly provides unbelievable care. I would never consider an overnight kennel and once you try Beverly to babysit you wont either. Thank you Beverly for caring for my baby.”
“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.”
“I would trust leaving my dog here any time. He was loved and cared for by this amazing couple like he was their own. This was my first time trusting anyone with my dog and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. Received daily pictures and updates, was able to enjoy vacation worry free. Highly recommended!”
“my dog had a short weekend at their house and they were great with updates! she had some separation anxiety and made sure she felt comfortable throughout the night ❤️”
“Kayla was great with my geriatric dog! The time my pup spent with her did her good, she came back with so much life, and energy, like she went on a relaxing vacation! I'm very grateful for the attentive care she provided to my fur baby.”
“First time booking with Angela and it won’t be our last! She was incredibly kind and considerate when taking on Wade. The meet & greet went great and the stay was even better. It’s clear she cares about animals and their needs. Wade had a great time! Great communication throughout his stay and very accommodating! Highly recommend.”
“Allesha has been an exceptional host for Rex. She fully understood his requirements and provided care tailored to his needs. I highly recommend her without hesitation.”
“Our Arthur had a great time. Natalia sent is updates and photos during his stay. It was great, he was so tired when he got home. I will 100% use her services again and I would recommend her to anyone. Arthur was in great hands and company.”
“Yelitsa took exceptional care of my pet, Enoki. I was totally comfortable knowing that my pet was in good hands. The daily update pictures informed me that Enoki was happy. Excellent service!!!”
“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!”
“Sofia, thank you so much! Sofia was fantastic. Communication was perfect, and much appreciated. We had a good meet and greet to start, which led into a very comfortable and fun stay for Ara. The pictures said it all, I coudl see my dog smiling in every photo as she was so happy. When a pet owner is away for 8 days for work, it precisely this that makes it a tad easier. I would highly recommend Sofia, and hope to have Ara stay with Sofia again in the future.”
“Omg (Z) was the best. This was my first time having to leave my son with a stranger. She treated him like her son, she walked him daily, sent pictures, she communicated properly, she let me know how he was reacting to the environment. Overall at 10 plus. I have found my new sitter. Thank you Z you’re great.”
“Lasya was so accommodating on short notice. We were going to be away for a long day and realized we should have a pet sitter. Lasya was kind and accommodating. We really appreciate the care and photos that are sent. And our dogs getting along is a bonus! Thank you again so much!”
“Steven was a great sitter. I was a little nervous at first but Steven sent daily pictures and videos, I was able to see Raven become more relaxed and comfortable each day. I was very satisfied and would definitely book Steven again and recommend him to others.”

Lasya and her family took great care of Posey! Posey liked them right away when they first met. They sent us many photos and videos during the stay, and it was clear that they spent a lot of time playing with her and keeping her happy. We really appreciated the care, updates, and attention they gave her. We would definitely recommend them!

Mitchell always has a great attitude and energy coming back from stays with Jess, meaning he had a great stay =). Jess continued to meet the high expectations she sets for herself ever since Mitchell's first visit. We will continue to seek out her services when needed!
Carson was so great to my Jackson. He took great care of him and made him feel right at home. Carson sent great communications before and while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving Jackson with Carson and will be so happy if he is able to keep him any time I need to be away.
5/5, 10/10, A+ care from Aaria! I had boarded my 7 year old anxious rescue with her and she was extremely accommodating and even on a shorter notice. He was very comfortable with her and at her place, she also kept up great communication while I was out of town. I will absolutely be going back to her if I need care for him again! I can’t recommend enough, she provided such great care for my dog! :) Thank you agaiN Aaria!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,619 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.
95% 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.
