“Caroline did a great job with our pups. She made every effort to keep us updated with videos and our dogs were exhausted from playing when we picked them up! Thanks so much, Caroline!”
“Katie and Kristen were so attentive to Ziggy. They sent alot of pictures, and we could tell Ziggy was getting such great care. Ziggy is normally so happy to come home, but this time we think she kinda missed being at their house!!! Thank you Katie and Kristen!”
“Catherine and her family took wonderful care or our dog. Lucie felt immediately at home and had a great time. Great place for dogs, who like family around. We will surely book again with Catherine.”
“Darcy and Dan took wonderful care of my pup! They asked very thoughtful questions during the meet and greet and are clearly huge dog lovers. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in their care. Darcy and Dan provided updates, photos, and a video throughout the stay. I already booked my dog's next stay.”
“Deanna and her husband did an excellent job taking care of our dog Bernie during his week long stay with them. He is an older dog with mobility and other health challenges. They went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for and felt secure. I highly recommend them!!”
“Beth was so good with my 11-year-old dorkie! She responded quickly to my booking request and when I took Zoey over for a pre-meetup, I could tell Zoey already liked Beth. She’s normally a pretty low energy dog, but with Beth, she looked happy and got a little spring in her step! Beth sent me videos and pictures while I was gone and I could tell Zoey was in good hands. With how happy she was, I didn’t think she was going to want to come home with me! Thank you Beth for taking such good care of my baby! I will highly recommend you to everyone looking to board their fur baby!”
“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.”
“Zachary was fantastic hosting Spooky for an extended stay. He was very patient with Spooky building up his confidence in his temporary home and sent lots of photos and updates about how he was doing. I can tell from the photos Spooky became quite comfortable with Zachary and in his house. I would definitely request Zachary watch Spooky again.”
“Fantastic experience with Coddy and Byron! Our 1-ish year old Austrlian shepherd, Wes, stayed with them for a portion of July. Coddy and Byron were very responsive to messages, sent updates (and pictures/videos of Wes), and genuinely, thoughtfully incorporated Wes into their home for 2 weeks. Two weeks! We miscalculated Wes's food and, when it become apparent it would run out a few days before, Coddy and Byron rationed and mixed it with their own dogs' food in a way that didn't negatively affect Wes's digestion. If that's not top-tier dog watching, we really don't know what is. Would highly recommend and would book again!”
“Josiah was great and offered last-minute services when my original plans fell through for zazu. Their family took great care of my boy, sent regular pictures, and he came home happy and healthy!”
“Our dog has stayed with Ariana three times, and we are so grateful to have found her! Our dog loved her instantly, and has been very excited to go back each time. We would give her 6 stars if we could! She is very communicative, caring, and flexible. And with so many sitters on this site overloading themselves with pets to care for, it's great to know that with her one-dog policy, our pet will be a priority when he stays with her. Would highly recommend Ariana!”
“Teresa is the best!! She treated my dog as if she were her own and took such good care of her. Multiple walks per day, plenty of love, and lots of photos and updates throughout my trip! So grateful to have found her!”
“Couldn't have worked out any better. Kelly and Brandon were amazing care givers for Maverick. They made us feel completely comfortable by taking care of our dog in a personable way. We were updated frequently and received photos letting us know all was well. Maverick has a new best friend in Arvon.”
“The best! Got plenty of updates and I could tell that my buddy Teddy was being treated like family. Absolutely recommend unless we’re in town and need a sitter again!”
“We feel like our dog got a mini-vacation when she stayed with Paula! She went above and beyond to take our dog to some fun places and show her a great time while we were away. The pictures and video she sent regularly reassured us that our fur baby was is great hands. Highly recommended!!!”
“Oscar and his family were amazing hosts for our energetic pup. I really appreciated knowing the dogs were enjoying the shady, fenced-in backyard. The daily videos were a great way to check in and know he was having fun. Thanks again!!”
“Tanu was fantastic with our dog Daisy! She sent updates every day and kept Daisy comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Tanu took Daisy on walks every day and let us know how she was doing with food and water and the weather. We were so impressed and happy that Tanu was able to put our minds at ease and care for our pup in the same way we would. Great experience, we would love to work with Tanu again!”
“Renee took very good care of Bean for eleven days while my husband and I took a cruise. It was so nice to know Bean had company and was in good hands while we were away. This was my first experience with boarding a cat and the Rover app was a great help. I searched offers in my area, read Renee’s profile and we exchanged information. Bean enjoyed the meet and greet and that sealed the deal. Renee sent pictures and kept us informed. I highly recommend her service.”

Caroline is excellent, excellent, excellent. My sweet heeler can be overwhelmed sometimes, but she always runs right to Caroline at drop off, and comes home calm and happy. Caroline regularly updates and her home is immaculate. Such a relief to have found a sitter to trust!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 906 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.
97% 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.
