“I was so nervous about leaving Wrangler with a stranger. I felt like I was dropping my child off at daycare for the first time. I do know that Wrangler went right in. Emily seemed genuine and very sweet. I picked Wrangler up and the fact that he ate his food that I left with them told me alot. When Wranglers anxious he won't eat. Then He seemed like he got alot of energy out and ate his dinner. I didn't see ant signs of distress and am willing to continue bringing him back to her home in the future.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Even though we were her very first client, she treated our pup like absolute family from the second we walked in. She was warm, professional, and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Don't let her lack of reviews fool you, she is a natural at this and truly wonderful with pets. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have 20+ years experience of dog sitting. From bringing dogs to my home and going to other people’s homes. I am a passionate animal lover and will care for your dog like it’s my own. I work from home and have a large fenced in yard. Perfect environment for any pupper! I work remotely from home. So I can give your pet the attention love and dedication that it deserves. I have a senior dog who gets along great with other pups. We get up in the morning and start our day with a potty and food break. Then while I work, Louie hangs out with me. Taking as many potty and play breaks as he needs. I have a very large safe, fenced in backyard and another pup to keep your baby company. Again, I work from home so I am able to provide the dedication and attention that your pup might need. I have a young cat, but she’s grown up with dogs and does great with them. My daughter is also an animal lover, like myself and would be thrilled to have another baby around for us to spoil and love!
“Jessica is amazing with our new puppy! She was able to accommodate us on short notice, which we really appreciated. She walked him, fed him, played with him, and even introduced him to other little puppies so he could socialize. She greeted me warmly and treated both of us with such kindness. Our pup came home happy and tired from all the fun. We will definitely be coming back!”
“Mark and Nadine are a class act and do such an amazing job with our little pup. Our dog is excited to see them every morning that we drop her off. Thank you for being so amazing. I appreciate you!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Phoenix during his daycare stay, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was so kind, welcoming, and truly the sweetest person to work with. She kept me updated throughout the day and even sent me two videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious that Phoenix was well cared for and loved while he was with her. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely passionate about dogs. We will definitely be back!”
“Dena and her family did a great job with Biscuit. She was happy and content when I picked her up. It is clear that they provided her with loving care. We will definitely be back.”
“Simply the best! Vicki and William love the pups in their care and go the extra mile. They have been so good helping our puppy Hazel socialize, play, and grow into a happy teenage dog for the past year. She is always so excited to go to daycare and is a very happy, tired dog after.”
About: Passionate animal lover with professional pet care experience since 2018. Over the years, I've worked in veterinary clinics, grooming salons as an assistant bather, and in dog daycare settings, giving me experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I'm comfortable with caring for multiple pets at once, administering medications, sticking to an organized walking/feeding schedule, and providing individualized attention to each pet's unique needs. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, long walks, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'm committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and plenty of adorable photos that capture the best side of your pet's personality and daily adventures. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to providing dependable, compassionate care for your beloved companions I work part-time and pet sit part-time so my schedule is very flexible but it changes. I could be working 2 PM to 7 PM 9:30 AM to 3 PM or 9:30 AM to 7 PM. I can align best with parents whose pet is used to them going to work. I will always be off Friday and Sunday. I get my schedules on Wednesday that is the best time to book with me to know what my schedule for the next week is looking like. I do sometimes sit more than one pet at a time unless you let me know that your pet is reactive to other dogs or you are not comfortable with other pets being in the home, and I do make sure that they are separate while I am not in the home, but I do not have any other pets of my own so if that is something that you are adamant about, please let me know and try to book as soon as possible so I can decline other bookings on the dates that you are needing thank you so much for your patience and flexibility as well. I hope to work with you soon. I live in a pet friendly community in Midtown. The area includes designated pet relief stations with waste bags readily available, making it easy to keep the environment clean and comfortable. Im only a five-minute walk from a local dog park where dogs can enjoy additional activity and socialization, with owner permission. I prioritize safety at all times by keeping pets supervised, following their regular routines, and ensuring they have a clean, secure, and welcoming environment while in my care

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Detroit
I had a great experience with Pallavi! Bruno stayed with her for 3 days last week, and she took very good care of him. She was kind, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave Bruno. We would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have Bruno stay with her again!
Daniella is the best! She took amazing care of our little angel, Millie, on almost no notice when we visited Detroit for an event. We had searched high and low for a daycare center in the area before happening upon Rover.com. Daniella was extremely flexible and accommodating with our evolving schedule. Millie loved her at first sight and was well entertained during her stay. We can't say enough good things about Daniella!
We’ve had such a positive experience with Alyssa. She is attentive, kind, and truly cares about Teddy. He was relaxed and content when we picked him up, and we really appreciated the updates and cute photos throughout the day. We feel very comfortable leaving Teddy in her care and would highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.
Tajuana was fantastic! She frequently communicated how our pup was, his meals, where they went, and how well they got along. She took him to the dog park, and it made me laugh to see our pup spent most of the time by her side. That is so him. Happy to book with Tajuana again.
It was my first time using the app. I was in Detroit and was nervous about leaving my furry baby with someone I didn't know, but I'm so happy it was Michael. He replied to my messages to check on her and was super nice. He took her for a long walk, which I'm sure she loved, and when I went to get her, I could tell she was well taken care of because she was calm and worn out. Thanks a lot, Michael.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Detroit on Rover is $37.74 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Detroit commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,178 sitters in Detroit, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
