“Caroline was absolutely awesome. Very responsive and accommodating We knew our pups were in great hands. We would receive a video every morning and see that they were well taken care of and having a blast with the other dogs in her beautiful home with a fenced in yard. Would love to have her watch our dogs again, soon!”
“It was really wonderful having Amanda watch my fur baby. She kept me posted, sent pictures and went the extra mile to be sure Coco was taken care of as if one of her own. Amanda made sure all food and meds were taken and that Coco was loved. Thank you Amanda and family for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“Kayden did a terrific job with my 18 week old puppy. I'd been having significant behavioral problems with the pup and Kayden did very well with her and offered me guidance to help get the problems under control at home. Kayden was very responsive to my questions while I was out of town and sent photos as well. Kayden was extremely well organized in managing my dog's meet 'n greet and all the elements of her six day stay. I'd been worried about leaving a very young, not fully house-broken dog but she clearly had a great time. I'm not sure she wanted to return home! Kayden went above and beyond all my expectations.”
“They are fantastic! Bill and Sandy watched our little guy for over a week while we were on vacation, and we could tell he was happy and incredibly well taken care of the entire time. They have a lovely home and it’s very apparent how much they enjoy caring for dogs.”
“Rodney was great. He responded to my last minute request over the holidays promptly. He then made sure Zeno would fit in with his dogs and his boarders. Zeno had a blast and was nice and tired when he finally came home. Rodney has a great property for dogs that need room to roam. Highly recommend.”
“Kelly and Brandon were kind and communicative in helping us to set up our first dog sitting experience for our puppies. They kept us updated w photos all weekend and the pups seemed to have a great time!”
“Our dog had a wonderful visit with Barbara and Dirk. They have a great setup for dogs, are friendly, and are good communicators. They even put up with us being later than expected on pickup. We’ll definitely use them again.”
“Zachary was great for the whole experience! It was the first time boarding our new dog, and Zachary came out to meet us and Pepper, answered questions we had, and Pepper seems like he had a great time! Zachary sent pics during our trip, and was fast and easy to communicate with, both leading up to the boarding dates and while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Karen was simply amazing. She took wonderful care of our dog, Daisy. And we would absolutely have her watch Daisy again. Karen offered Daisy healthy treats throughout her stay (after making sure it was okay with us). She sent pictures and updates everyday. Daisy was often cozy, comfortable, and snuggled up. Overall, it was obvious to us that Karen is a real animal lover. We are so grateful to have found her.”
“Anthony is now for sure one of Maya's favorite uncles. He kept sending us photos of Maya during the whole stay every day, and the more particular thing you can see that all the dogs are having a wonderful time there. He also help us with a skin rash that she had on her belly and making sure she got better. Definetly coming back even just for day care so she can continue to have all that fun with all her furry friends.”
“My dogs (and I) love Marija and her family! She is our go to sitter whenever we’re out of town. It was super hot when she watched them and she had a kiddy pool set up that my dog Juice loved. She sends so many updates and videos during their stay. My dogs always come home exhausted from playing so much!”
“George was great with taking care of Zee. He communicated well, sending pictures along the way. She was very happy when we picked her up. Very reasonable rates. Will definitely book again. Thank you George.”
“Jane was amazing with Rue who is a Chihuahua and nervous by nature and not highly socialized. I believe that her calm demeanor and welcoming environment helped him to relax for his stay with her. I felt very comfortable with leaving my Rue with her and appreciated all of the updates and pictures.”
“Tiffani was excellent and took amazing care of our dog. Tiffani was extremely responsive, followed all of our instructions and made sure that Nutmeg had a fun visit while we were away. We really appreciated the photos every day and the video of her many adventures during her stay. I would definitely recommend Tiffani!!”
“Teresa did an awesome job taking care of Winston. She took him for plenty of walks and sent several pictures during his stay. Winston was a very happy dog at Teresa’s house, and we have already booked another stay.”
“Andrew was great! It was my first time leaving the doggy with a stranger, but he set up a meet and greet and kept me updated so that I barely worried my whole trip. He even convinced Dr. Pepper to take his meds, which is no small feet. If I ever need to travel again, I can say with confidence that Pepper will enjoy his vacation with Andrew too.”
“Coddy and Byron are amazing, they take such good care of Baxter when he comes! We never worry when we are gone. We would recommend them to everyone! Thank you guys, see you next time!”
“Wilco loved her stay! Loved the fact that there was an energetic boarder collie for her to play with. We received multiple photos and a video to help us know she was getting comfortable and was safe. Once we got her back she slept all the way to our next stop. If we're ever back in Ann Arbor with Wilco we know who to call :)”

Caroline was wonderful. She was able to watch my two dogs last minute for a week when other arrangements fell through and the boys enjoyed their time there. She is always responsive and the updates throughout the day put my mind at ease. She has my highest recommendations!
Zachary was great for the whole experience! It was the first time boarding our new dog, and Zachary came out to meet us and Pepper, answered questions we had, and Pepper seems like he had a great time! Zachary sent pics during our trip, and was fast and easy to communicate with, both leading up to the boarding dates and while we were away. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dexter on Rover is $38.85 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 883 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dexter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Dexter sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dexter landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dexter home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dexter.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dexter sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
