“Pallavi was fantastic! She took great care of our puppy. She understood the needs of the puppy by discussing the requirements ahead of time, clearly explained the plan on how she plans to handle the puppy and provided regular updates on the status. I would recommend her anyone looking for a pet loving, professional pet caretaker.”
“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!”
“Karen was a great help with Luna when I unexpectedly had to leave the dog home alone for a VERY long day. She came over to give her cuddle and pee breaks and a trip to Barkside, Luna’s home away from home. 💕 Even went the extra mile to clean up a little dog mess. Thanks!!!!!”
“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!”
“Ashley was so easy to book with, and sent great updates and photos of my dog Harry. He came from the visit happy and rested, I will definitely book with her again if I’m ever in the area again.”
“Friendly, professional, compassionate, attentive,.courteous and so much more...Beverly is a phenomenal caretaker for my precious little furrbaby. She communicated with me regularly during her first visit and that put my mind at ease. I only have positive things to say about my experience and plan to rebook. Thanks Beverly 💎”
“Excellent communication. Expectations of what was needed from me was made very clear, constant response to text messages before, during and after the appointment. Would definitely recommend”

About: I have been with pets since I was 5 years old and I have had different breeds of dog in different phases of my life. Caring for a pet is the most natural thing that I could do. I am basically from India and I have not been able to get a pet after I reached Canada which is like almost 2 years. So when I heard about Rover, I just jumped at the opportunity to relive my old life that I was yearning for. Dogs are my favourite but I can take care of cats as well. We have a spacious apartment so your pets can enjoy running around. The neighbourhood is also a safe place. I proudly call myself a dog mom because thats how I care for the universe’s best species.
“Julianna was AMAZING. She responded quickly to our last minute request, made sure that we had a chance to tour her space and Potter could meet the other dogs before we left, and sent updates throughout the day. Everything went smoothly and our pup seemed happy. Thank you again for being a wonderful sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Detroit
Pallavi did a wonderful job taking care of my senior dog, Sadie. She kept me updated throughout the day and let me know how Sadie was doing by providing pictures and videos. On top of that, it was a super last minute request which she responded to instantly and she watched Sadie all day while I was at work. Pallavi is very sweet and I know she (and her husband) took great care of Sadie while I was away. I would highly recommend her to other pet parents, and would absolutely let her watch Sadie 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.
Deepika took very good care of Chili. She was lovely and calm in her interactions with Chili and myself. I was very appreciative of Deepika’s very timely response to my last minute request for an initial booking. She provided updates and pics and responded promptly to my queries throughout the day. Chili obviously had a great day with Deepika and her King Charles Spaniel. She expressed how much she liked Chili and that she would like to host her again. Chili will definitely be visiting Deepika again. Thank you Deepika!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Detroit
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Detroit on Rover is $36.63 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,192 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Detroit. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 1,192 sitters in Detroit, 84% 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.
