“Jessica was amazing! She gave me consistent updates, was very kind and nurturing, and has a very sweet and pleasant demeanor that made me feel confident she would take great care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again :)”
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.
“Pattie was amazing!!!! She was very communicative and sent daily photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated her care and attention, and I hope to book with her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Sogol was a wonderful sitter for our scaredy cat, Topanga. She made sure to give Topanga her own quiet space and spent lots of time with her while she acclimated to her new surroundings. She sent lots of videos and pictures throughout her stay. We are so happy we opted for Sogol, Topanga had a great time!”
About: There’s nothing more stressful than finding someone to take care of your pets while your away. As a member of your family, you want to know that they will be well taken care of while you’re away. Let me give you peace of mind knowing that your animals are being taken care of, the way you would. As a owner of two dogs, I know how to properly care for animals. I love all animals, and there’s nothing I like more, than knowing that your pets are safe and being taken care of while you’re away. I would give your pets the same care, love and affection that I would give my own. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets. I currently work part time. So I have a very flexible schedule. Lots of time for checkins and walks. Does your pet like looks of potty breaks. No problem. I’m happy to let them out as much as needed. My home has a 6ft privacy fence. My yard is completely enclosed. I always monitor the dogs from the window or go out with them. I also have two very friendly pups.
“Our dogs had a great time with Shree and her dog Zusa. She made us feel comfortable and at ease with all the update videos and great communication. Our dogs were treated as if they were parts of her family. Definitely recommend Shree!”
“My dog absolutely loved her stay with Rachel! Rachel and her husband Jeff treated my dog like she was one of their own. Rachel was great about providing daily video updates, and every video I got my dog’s tail was nonstop wagging! Rachel finds creative and thoughtful ways to keep the dogs entertained. I was away for a week and felt so comfortable knowing my dog was well cared for and having such a fun time.”
About: Professional housesitter, LGBT+ND Friendly. My homebody routine means tons of time with your pet. I'm very tidy, and a good fit for clean nonsmoking homes. Over 200+ nights per year petsitting! Your place is my home, not just short visits. I love multiple pet households of 2, 3, 4 or more. I normally schedule only one family at a time, to give your pets focused attention. I am patient when it comes to your pets' anxiety or special needs. I love written instructions, and take medication seriously. Since I WFH, I can plan my day around tons of 1:1 time with your pets. I also offer daytime care in your home via Housesitting even if you don't need overnight, or you can book Drop Ins. I usually send you 2+ updates with photos per day. I'm mature, sober, nonsmoking; I don't vape or use drugs, not even caffeine. I have decades of experience caring for houses and pets. Note: All of December will be at Rover Holiday rates. After our initial visit, it is standard to do cold swaps: I arrive after you leave, and depart before you return. This means smoother transitions for pets and humans. One of the most common questions I get from new inquiries: Yes you can book multiple Drop Ins or Walks before your sit so we can all get to know each other better. This works really well. I keep one slot open on a weekday morning for Rover Meet and Greet. If that time does not work, you can absolutely request a day and time for a Drop In that fits with your schedule. Nonsmoking and nonvaping, clean homes only. A comfortable guest bed (or your bed) with fresh clean sheets is very important to me. Start times before 8am, end times after 8pm, drives over 15 minutes are each $30 additional, not included with your Rover estimate. Your home is my home base. I "move in" and bring my groceries/book/yoga mat/work things. Playtime, downtime, and sleepytime are spent with your pet, for tons of attention. My commitments are important to me, and I genuinely care. I am responsible, and a great communicator. I will send photos and updates, and always respond.
“Maritza & Daniel were absolutely AMAZING!! They clearly love animals and know how to spoil the fur babies that they sit. Will be using them again in the future, thank you both so much!! ❤️”
About: I grew up with various kinds of animals of all ages. I'll prioritize giving your dog consistent potty breaks, play time, and enough walks throughout the day so they feel comfortable and enjoy their stay, or watch out for any special instructions like timed medicines or special dietary restrictions I have no time restrictions, I am available at any time of the day, full time, and including overnight stays to care for your cat. I have a fenced yard, a safe and comfortable space for your pet to roam around, an area to walk them, and a comfortable spot for them to sleep.
“Jess did a fantastic job taking care of our 6 month old puppy. We had to find her on short notice and that was no issue. The price is very reasonable and we knew our dog was in good hands for the weekend. We highly recommend Jess and look forward to her watching Popcorn again in the future!”
“I’m so happy that I found Suzanne to watch my pup while I went on vacation. She was very responsive and proactively sent me updates and pictures during his stay. Highly recommend”
“Keira was AMAZING! This was the first time I left my dog with a stranger. He is very skiddish but can be a Stinker at the same time. Keira made him feel so loved. She went above and beyond meeting Oscar’s needs. She took him for walks, let him sleep with her, played and snuggled with him. After a brief time, I was so relaxed to enjoy my trip. Keria provided me with frequent updates and pictures. She was very understanding about my over protectiveness. She calmed me. Oscar doesn’t like many but he loved Keira. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you so much Keira for giving Oscar so much love and attention!”
“Chetoya was great with our puppies. She had a fenced yard and ample space to keep them separated. They come home very relaxed and didn’t show any signs of stress or anxiety. We will definitely book with Chetoya again.”

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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Detroit is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,603 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
