“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!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child and am first in line to take care of friends and families pets now that I dont have any of my own. I would love to show your pet the love and care they deserve while they are with me. I have expiriance with puppies and senior dogs and dogs and everything in between. I work remotely monday and Tuesday with the ability to take very regular breaks for walks and playtime. My weekends are free as well and I can take overnight stays easily. My apartment is first level and has easy access to the outside for walks and playtime. There are currently no other pets in my home, so all attention will be given to your best friend.
“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!”
“Nani had a longer stay with Cody and I had no concerns! He did a great job following additional instructions due to the longer stay and kept me updated throughout my trip. I feel confident in Cody and his ability to intervene and mediate between dogs in case any overexcitement or aggression happens. I feel comfortable leaving Nani with him knowing she’s in good hands!”
“David was amazing! We needed a last-minute overnight boarding for our puppy, Teddy, and he was incredibly responsive from the start. He was friendly, communicative, and immediately put our minds at ease about leaving Teddy for the night. We truly appreciated his kindness and flexibility, and we'll definitely be using his services again. 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.”
“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!”
“Five stars are not enough to praise Jeannette. I had to go into emergency surgery after I went to the emergency room. It was 4th of July weekend and I didn’t have anyone to watch my dog, Ellie. I contacted Jeannette who immediately offered to come to the hospital and get the keys to my home. Once she arrived she reassured me that Ellie would be okay. I was free to focus on the surgery and not on the wellbeing of my friend. I absolutely recommend Jeannette’s pet services. She is an absolute rock star!”
“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! :)”
“Tammy is the absolute best sitter I’ve ever encountered on or off Rover. She sends pics and videos, communicates throughout the stay and has been a lifesaver when it comes to emergencies/short notice situations. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“Vanessa was great with my dog Ivy. She made me feel comfortable leaving my dog for the first time and my dog took to her right away. She sent me pictures and updates everyday letting me enjoy a relaxing vacation without worry. I will definitely be using Vanessa every time I need a dog sitter!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cat ever since I was a child. We had dogs and cats, and I would baby sit my cousins dogs every time they needed me. I’m reliable and know how to take care of senior dogs and cats, as well as puppies and kittens. I have a cat of my own, and he’s well loved and cared for. I am currently in between jobs, so I have a lot of time. I am available almost anytime and any day. I will be studying from home, so there is no problem with my schedule. I live in an apartment with my cat, and he’s very good with other pets. I will take care of your baby, if you need any other accommodations like crate them or take them out in a specific time, I can do that.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 🐾”
About: I had a dog aggressive dog for six years and it was always hard to find a sitter. We want to make sure other people can find a place for their dog where they will be comfortable and the owners can enjoy their time away without worry. We are home starting Thursday evening and would be available to take care of your doggie so it will feel comfortable. We can take your dog on walks and because we have the weekend off we can spend as much time as needed to make your pet feel loved. Together we have experience walking a dog reactive dog in the UP and Detroit where anything could happen at a moments notice. We understand how important it is to avoid triggers, and what to do to help you dog when it's unavoidable. We also have experience with old dogs who need medicine and low impact play time as well as anxious dogs who aren't sure what's going on.
“I used rover for the first time and was very nervous and apprehensive about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. I chose Kerri because she was so positive and responded quickly. Kerri sent pictures and kept me up to date about my dog and his activities. When I picked him up she was just as friendly and my dog was happy. I would use her again in a heartbeat if I ever need a sitter for my dog.”
“An absolute Angel taking care of both of my babies for an extended stay! The ladies miss you and your family so much, I can tell! They had cuddles, play, and I had so many cute pictures sent my way that made me feel like they were safe, loved, and that they’d want to come back for more!! Thank you!!!”

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.
Jess was an absolute lifesaver to us. We had a last-minute trip out of Detroit and our dog could not fly with us. A friend of ours recommended us signing up for Rover and that’s how we found Jess. Our little fella took to Jesse immediately, and that put us all at ease, leaving our Furry Baby with a stranger. It was apparent he was very comfortable around her immediately. While we were gone she sent pics without us having to request them. We wish there were more stars to give! Thank you Jess!!
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!

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.

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.
