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!
“Both of our dogs had an amazing time at Kellie’s while we were out of town! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures during their stay and in every one we could see them having a great time with her dog and kids! We will definitely plan to use her again for any future trips 😊”
“This was my first time using Cody's services and I couldn't be happier. He was great with communication and sending pictures. My fur baby came home happy and tired from all the play time and attention he got. Will definitely go back. Thanks Cody”
About: Exceptional care, personalized attention, and peace of mind while you’re away. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home environment where your dog receives the same level of care and attention I would expect for my own. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and am comfortable with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and individual needs. I work from home, so your pup receives consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. My home also features a private, securely fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and fresh air. I’m attentive to routines, special meals, behaviors, and the little details that make each dog unique. Whether your pup is energetic, vocal, or simply loves being spoiled, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. They’re welcome to relax on the furniture, sleep in the bed, go on walks and adventures, and most importantly feel completely at home. My priority is simple: keeping your dog safe, happy, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you have complete peace of mind. 🐾 ************************************************************Diesel is unfortunately no longer with us, so there are no dogs in my home at the moment. *************************************************************I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent, one-on-one attention throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with plenty of time for walks, playtime, outdoor breaks, meals, and companionship. I’m able to be attentive to each dog’s individual schedule and needs while maintaining a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I especially enjoy incorporating dogs into my day through walks and adventures, so they’re never simply left sitting around waiting for their next interaction. 🐾 Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and secure home environment with a private fenced-in yard, and I’m able to offer close supervision throughout the day since I work from home. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding instructions, medications when needed, exercise, and any special preferences or accommodations. I treat every pet as an individual and take the time to understand their personality, boundaries, and needs before they arrive. I’m also respectful of each client’s home and instructions when providing care there. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and completely at home—and for their owners to have total peace of mind while they’re away.
“Theresa and Adrian met me at a hectic time in my life! I had a broken foot and was trying to coordinate a trip out of state while remodeling my kitchen. I was overwhelmed and scattered brained but they were both so kind and understanding. They even came to pick up and drop off Pep, a huge help with my broken foot. They took excellent care of my girl, who had a great time. We'll definitely use them again!”
“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”
“We are so thankful to Erika and her family for looking after our Dexter so well! We got daily updates and pictures of all the fun he was having. Erika did an amazing job administering his medicine. It was such a relief to have Dexter in such good hands. Thank you so much!”
“Kadi is amazing and my sweet little old girly girl, Dolly, just loves her. ❤️ Dolly is 13 and doesn’t ever play with dogs but Kadi sent me pictures of Dolly having the best time playing with her dog. It made me so happy! I will definitely be using Kadi for doggy care the next time we travel.”
“Frankie came home tired and that’s a sign of a good stay. We got updates and pictures during our overnight boarding and we’re very pleased. Will definitely use Whitney & Samuel in the future.”
“We had an amazing experience with Sofia. She was incredible with our puppy and kind and flexible with us. A joy to work with, extremely professional, and full of love for our dog! Thank you SO much Sofia! Would 100% ask her to watch Dove again.”
“Updated me on a daily basis, was friendly and competent during our meeting and greet. Dogs were dropped off happy and came home happy. They were outside alot and seemed to get alot of exercise while there. Daily pictures was really nice during my time away and see was very organized.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Grosse Pointe Shores is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grosse Pointe Shores
Angela was great! Gus was happy and healthy when I picked him up. He’s a reactive dog so we would be aware if something was off in his care. He clearly liked being with them. Angela has lots of experience with animals and I have total confidence that she can handle anything that might arise.
Megan was wonderful with my senior girl Olive Oyl! She was so attentive and caring, kept me updated the whole time, and I could tell Olive Oyl was comfortable and happy. It's hard trusting someone with an older dog, but Megan made it easy. Would absolutely book again — highly recommend!
This was our first time boarding our two dachshunds. I was nervous at first but Nancy allowed us to meet her & her dog Betty before booking. Her dog Betty is a gentle giant and was nice to my dogs. Nancy did a great job at providing updates and sending us pictures. We will definitely be booking with Nancy in the future. Thank you!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Grosse Pointe Shores can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Grosse Pointe Shores 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 Grosse Pointe Shores.
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 Grosse Pointe Shores 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
