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.

“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.

About: Dogs and cats have been part of my life for almost 20 years, and caring for them is honestly one of my favorite things. I take their routine seriously: meals and meds on time, plenty of walks and playtime, and I'll catch it if something seems off and let you know right away. I'm easygoing, fun, and pretty much always up for whatever your pet is in the mood for, whether that's a long walk or a lazy couch day. Tell me all their weird little habits. I want to know them. You'll get updates and photos, and your pet gets someone who actually likes hanging out with them. I have a hybrid office work schedule, so I’m pretty flexible for drop ins and full time routines. My cat personally is an indoor/outdoor cat, so he gets the stimulation he needs when I’m not there. At my home or yours, I care for other animals how I care for my own— with love, responsibility, and deep care. It’s as simple as that.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and proud pug mom who would love to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 I grew up with dogs and have experience caring for puppies, potty training, and looking after senior dogs. For the past three years, my husband and I have been raising our own pug, Pupo, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your dog. We recently moved to Michigan for my husband's work, and while I finish my master's degree in Computer Science online, I'm home throughout the day. Here's what you and your pup can expect: 🏡 Lots of love and attention: I'm home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of company, cuddles, and supervision. 🌳 Fenced backyard: Plenty of room for supervised playtime and potty breaks whenever needed. 🐕 Daily walks: We're located just off Mack Avenue, on the border of Grosse Pointe Farms, and love walking through the nearby neighborhoods and green spaces. 🧩 Toys and activities: We have plenty of toys, puzzle feeders, and other activities to keep dogs entertained. 🐶 A friendly playmate: Our pug, Pupo, loves people and other dogs! We're happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand and can keep dogs in separate areas of the house if needed. 📸 Photos and updates: I'll keep you updated so you know how your pup is doing while you're away. Every dog is different, and I'm happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, and potty schedule to help them feel comfortable during their stay. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! ❤️ I'm currently finishing my master's degree online, so I'm home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule. This gives me plenty of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and potty breaks as often as needed! I enjoy taking breaks from studying to spend time outside with Pupo, and we'd love to have another furry friend join us! I'm happy to follow your dog's usual feeding, walking, and nap schedule to help them feel right at home. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities! 🐾 🏡 Clean, dog-friendly home: I keep our home clean and the floors clear of small objects, food, and anything dogs might be tempted to chew or eat. 🌳 Fenced backyard: Dogs have plenty of room to play and enjoy supervised outdoor time in our fenced yard. 🐶 Safe introductions: Our pug, Pupo, is friendly with other dogs, but I understand that every dog is different. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before booking to make sure everyone is comfortable. 🚪 Separate spaces if needed: We can use gates to keep dogs in separate areas of the house when needed, whether for feeding, rest, or personal space. ❤️ Personalized care: I'll follow your dog's usual routines and any special instructions you provide, including feeding schedules and other preferences. 📸 Regular updates: I'll send photos and updates throughout your dog's stay so you can feel confident they're happy and well cared for!

Not only did she respond right away & meet us same day, but she absolutely treated our fur baby as one of her own. Between the constant pics & video updates, we knew our baby girl was in great (and knowledgeable) hands ☺️ we couldn’t have dreamed of a better sitter! Our pup loved her pups & we’ve already decided we’ll use Gabrielle again & again. Thanks for making our trip worry-free!!!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of personal care and attention I give to every pet. I treat them as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies who need training and extra patience, as well as senior dogs who may require gentle care, medication, or a calmer environment. I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs—whether they’re full of energy and love long walks, or they prefer quiet cuddles and companionship. Clients appreciate that I communicate often, send regular photo updates, and always go the extra mile to make both pets and owners feel at ease. For me, pet care isn’t just a service—it’s something I truly love to do. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I plan my days around feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel happy and cared for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday checkins, afternoon playing or evening cuddle time, I always make space in my schedule to prioritize their needs. On a weekly basis, I balance my routine so pets get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I treat their care just like I would for my own pets - with patience, reliability, and lots of love. Taking care of animals isn’t just something I add into my day—it’s truly part of my lifestyle and what makes me happiest. When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, my priority is always their comfort, safety, and happiness. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and special needs so I can make them feel secure and loved. In my home, pets have a calm and safe environment where they are treated like part of the family—with plenty of playtime, exercise, and cuddles. I make sure their feeding, walking, and sleeping schedules are followed exactly as instructed. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to minimize stress. I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel connected and reassured while they’re away. Every pet is unique, and I always adapt my care to what makes them feel happiest—whether that’s extra play, long walks, or simply quiet companionship.

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!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Detroit

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 1,614 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.
