“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!!!”
“David is awesome! He took such great care of Piper! She had a great time, I don’t think she wanted to come home. He sent lots of pictures, which was so nice because I always miss her when I leave. Very grateful for David:)”
“Meredith was super kind, lovely and made my little Bichon Frisé felt totally at home. She updated me with videos and pictures constantly even describing how my little one was feeling each day. Definitely I’ll book Meredith again, she is the best!”
“Have left our pups with Tammy a few times now over the summer. They always come back happy. We love seeing all the photos while we’re on vacation. Tammy was even kind enough to bathe the dogs (with our permission) before we picked them up. Highly recommend!!”
“Lukis was fantastic with my cat! Very experienced with cats, and sent regular updates during boarding. My cat was so happy to stay with her! Will definitely recommend Lukis and look to book with her again.”
“Cody was very responsive and Nico seemed very happy during his first stay there. Cody helped Nico acclimate to a new place and Nico had lots of fun playing with the other dogs.”
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.
“Rafael and his partner took fantastic care of my senior dog, who was still recovering from recent surgery. They were incredibly attentive, providing daily updates and photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. They’re a super communicative and genuinely kind couple — I could tell Mistral was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended!”
“Kira's been our rover since we moved to Detroit, and our dog's hung out with her and her dog many times at this point. Our dog clearly loves staying over, which is rare for her, and it speaks to Kira's ability to care for animals and be responsible and present. Will continue to trust her with my dog for as long as she's willing!”
“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“Our boys always have the best vacation with Kerri! We feel so comfortable leaving our crazy furballs as they enjoy the very best care. We cannot thank you enough for your amazingness!!!”
“Jeanette was great. She totally spoiled and took such great care of my little one. She sent the BEST pictures throughout my dog's stay and provided regular updates. It was such a relief to know my dog was in great hands while I was away.”
“Puja was amazing with our Spotz. She was very accommodating of our drop off and pick up time. She took super care of Spotz and was very detailed about knowing instructions in order to help Spotz have a good stay. She updated us regularly with pictures and emails which helped to put our minds at ease since this was a long stay (8 days). Spotz got lots of exercise and outdoor time daily and all the love and cuddles he enjoys. We will definitely board Spotz with her in the future. It’s become his home away from him. Thanks Puja!”
“Lee and Linda did an absolutely wonderful job caring for our dog, Fluffy! We consider Fluffy another member of our family, so leaving her in someone else’s care is a big deal for us. From the moment we met Lee and Linda, we felt completely comfortable and confident that she was in great hands. They were excellent communicators throughout her stay, sending us regular photos and updates and always responding promptly whenever we reached out. It was such a relief to see how happy and comfortable Fluffy was with them. Their home is exceptionally clean, organized, and welcoming, and they have a beautiful yard with a secure fence, which gave us even more peace of mind knowing Fluffy had a safe place to play and enjoy some outdoor time. We were extremely impressed with the care, attention, and love they gave Fluffy. We would absolutely recommend Lee and Linda to anyone looking for wonderful, responsible, and caring pet sitters. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Lasya and her husband took such wonderful care of Whiskey, and I’m genuinely so grateful. They were kind, attentive, and clearly treated him like family. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. They kept me updated, made sure he was comfortable, and it was obvious Whiskey was happy and well looked after, he came home really happy. I’d absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving caregivers for their pet.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾”
“Kadi was amazing!!! This was Nina’s first boarding experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. Kadi was very kind and professional. She kept us informed with pictures and updates throughout Nina’s stay. She even made Nina the cutest bandanna !! My family will be booking with her in the future for sure!!!”
“Vanessa is wonderful!!! She took care of Baker for two nights. Lots of walks and photos throughout his stay. She treated him like her own with lots of snuggles. We are so grateful, and we’ll definitely stay with her again!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Detroit is $45

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!
Jess was the perfect sitter for our baby Cooper. I got a really good vibe from her during the meet and greet. She sent updates and pictures while my family was on vacation, so we felt a great sense of security. I could tell from the pictures that Cooper had a blast and that she was treating him like her own. She was very professional, welcoming, and friendly. Cooper was really in great hands. Jess was the best!
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 Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,605 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Detroit. About 93% of Detroit sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
