About: I’ve taken care of pets including cats and dogs for about 3 years now, not including the cats and dogs I grew up with! I currently have a cat who loves cuddles and going on walks in his stroller! I currently work fully remote so I’ll have a lot of free time to tend to and play with your pet! I go on daily walks, perfect to give your pet time to stretch and get some fresh air I have ample space for pets to roam and play in my home. There’s also space to crate your pet if preferred. There is a walking path right outside my door that we can use for walks and potty *I walk cats as well! - in stroller*
“Chris and Cass were great! Very patient, kind and flexible. As sweet as our pitbull is, sometimes it’s hard to find a sitter because of the stigma that surrounds the breed. They even had our back when our flight was cancelled multiple times, forcing us to extend our dog’s stay. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them when needed and highly recommend them.”
“Sam is the BEST! My dog Luke absolutely loves him. He gets so excited when we turn down his street he whines with so much excitement. Sam truly loves and cares for your pup like it is his own. My dog loves his backyard too! Seriously book Sam for the next time you need a dog sitter. He’s the best!”
“Allesha is a wonderful sitter for Spot I get videos and pictures on every day of Spot’s starts with Allesha Spot is so excited every time she sees visits Allesha is hands down the best!!”
“Wonderful experience with Alia & Ian. Nugget came back happy and relaxed. Great communication and genuine care. She’s already looking forward to her next visit!”
“Our golden doodle Miles had a great time with Amanda and we were able to enjoy our three days away knowing that he was in such good hands. Amanda sent us numerous pictures and kept us I up to date on how he was doing. We' look forward to having her care for our pup when we travel again.”
“I am originally from Sterling Heights and moved to Farmington hills. I am very used to my rover borders in at Claire shores but needed to find someone close by. Then I found Karen! We scheduled a meet and greet and I was very impressed with her. She read through my profile which I don’t think many people do and basically studied my pets description. She is very knowledge and you can tell she has been doing this for a long time. She told me about how when she was fostering before and I knew my dog will be in good hands. When it came to picking him up after being gone for almost a week, he seemed like he wanted to stay haha. He went right to sleep when going into the car, I know he had a great time! I was very pleased with my decision to go with Karen and her husband is very nice too, I know he helps sometimes.”
“Dena was fantastic! Potter had the best time with her and her family. He played hard and was so well loved during his entire stay. Dena also did a great job with updates and photos which we appreciated so much, as it allowed us to get a glimpse into the amazing time potter was having. I couldn’t recommend her and her family enough! THANKS DENA!”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“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!!”
“Stephanie and Brenton took wonderful care of my pup, Rosie! From the meet n' greet to the end of our trip, they frequently communicated with us. The daily pics and updates gave me peace of mind knowing Rosie was happy and settled at their home while we were away. It warmed my heart to see their cute kids loving on Rosie as well. They are a kind, animal-loving family who will take excellent care of your pet! 10/10 would recommend them! 😊”
“I can’t speak highly enough of Jennifer’s in-home care of our Bernese Mountain Dog during our week’s vacation. Her loving attention to dog sitting coupled with great communication was so appreciated. Jennifer’s wonderful!”
“Pancho loves to stay with Anthony! He is so excited when arriving, and sometimes doesn’t even want to come home! We appreciate the great care given by Anthony! Pancho really loves to play with Buddy, Smokey, and other friends who may be there as well. Thank you so much!”
“Makenna was AMAZING with our precious pups. I’m always very hesitant dropping them at a new sitter; that apprehension lifted quickly. Makenna is knowledgeable about all aspects of doggie behavior and their care. She was patient and kind with our high energy and sometimes anxious herding doggies. Her backyard is lovely, but beyond that, it’s large and completely fenced. Our fur babies were very pleased with their stay with her and so were we. Thank you, Makenna.”
“Andrew is great with Nava. Andrew is professional, through and follows all care instructions. Nava enjoys his walks with Andrew to multiple parks and spending time together on the deck. We really appreciate his timely updates with multiple photos. Highly recommended and definitely book with him again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Farmington is $45

Makenna watched my pup while we were on vacation for a week. She was prompt in our communications and flexible. Rosie seemed to be well taken care of and I'm sure she loved exploring Makenna's vast backyard. I appreciated the updates and felt like my pup was in good hands!
Thank you Brit for taking amazing care of my Diesel. I appreciate how Brit personalized care of my almost 15 year old yorkie. The updates were great and allowed Diesel to get his exercise in and make new fur-friends! I will definitely reach out the next time I need boarding for Diesel.
Rohit has been nothing short of wonderful! Benji stayed with him for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel like Benji was still close to us even while we were out of town. It was clear that Benji was well cared for, happy, and loved throughout his stay. We highly recommend Rohit to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to watch their pet. We can’t wait to book with Rohit again in the future!
Great stay for Kenzy! She took really amazing care of my little man! He really enjoyed himself! She kept me up to date with pics and videos. Since we have been home he misses his interactions with CoCo! I would highly recommend! We will be returning boarders with her!
Felisha was so kind to take our pup last minute! We appreciated her flexibility and friendliness. She communicated with us in a timely fashion while we were away on our trip. She seemed to know how to read dogs' behavior, and was very attentive to Rosie's needs. My pup even had a built in playmate with Freya 😊. Rosie came home happy and well-cared for. Thank you Felisha!
Karen and her husband were honestly the most kindest people I’ve ever met. My family normally takes our dog Lola everywhere we go but wasn’t allowed to bring her to Florida with us for our daughter soccer tournament so she stayed with Karen for 8 days. I didn’t worry about Lola at all because not only was she happy to be at Karen’s I knew she was completely safe.
Julie and Ari got along great. So did Julie's dog Ernie. Julie was very able to handle our timid dog's special care and meds. Very affectionate w Ari, and sent pictures of Ari's daily life which showed a relaxed dog. She was also accommodating to our schedule needs which changed before the boarding. I felt comfortable w Ari in Julie's care and will not hesitate to hire her again.
She was amazing with my Ivan pup needing a last min sitter for new years eve!! I received multiple pictures throughout the night and next day as well as updates how he was doing! She took him on multiple walks and he actually ate a lot of his food!!! He normally eats almost nothing when we travel with him. The multiple walks wore him out and he's done nothing but nap since we've gotten home with him! I will always use Ivona anytime I'm in the area and need a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Farmington on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,746 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Farmington. 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 Farmington 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 Farmington 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 Farmington 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 Farmington.
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 Farmington 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.
