She sent me pictures and updates all weekend long. She is professional, kind, fun and truly loves animals ?☀️!! I highly recommend Katie and will definitely use her services again when I travel.”
“Booked with Steven for a week long boarding booking while I went out of state. He was super quick to respond to my questions and I felt my dog was well taken care of! He even made new friends while boarding. He’ll definitely be my go-to for boarding. Thanks, Steven!”

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!
“Chetoya was great! I needed someone last minute and she was anle to work with me. My dog can be a little antisocial, she's an older dog of 13yrs, and Chetoya was able to bring her out if her shell. She even had her playing with her own dog. Chetoya was very responsive and sent updates with pics. I highly recommend!”
“Jessica is lovely, she was patient and friendly, and sent tons of photos and puppy updates throughout my doggo's stay. Would recommend and will def hit her up for future boarding needs!”
“Christopher was the perfect host for my small dog. She fit in perfectly and was completely comfortable on first meet. His pets and my dog played well together. Christopher sent plenty of photos and provided updates. Thank you for taking my last minute request! I will definitely make Christopher my 1st choice when I need boarding services”
“Emily, Jason & Larry were excellent hosts!! Upon my request for a sitter, they suggested a meet & greet between our dogs. They were welcoming and caring about insuring the dogs were compatible. We agreed on letting Nanook stay. They were very communicative about what our dog was up to, how he was getting along with Larry and they sent photos too. After the stay we were surprised to have received a thank you note and a personalized treat in our bag. That was such a sweet touch! We would definitely book with Emily & Jason again! Nanook enjoyed his stay with them and Larry!”
“Luka had a great time with Sydney! She made sure to update us and let us know how he was doing regularly, which made us very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. He was very loved and cared for. I look forward to booking with her again!”
“my dog had a short weekend at their house and they were great with updates! she had some separation anxiety and made sure she felt comfortable throughout the night ❤️”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, so I have the most free time during mornings and evenings. I live in an apartment with my very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.
“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!”
“Abbey was wonderful! I’m always nervous about leaving our sweet Goldendoodle with people but I felt completely comfortable during our time away and knew Abbey was taking the best care of him. Ford is pretty great too!”
“We had a great experience! Niko was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates and photos. He had a wonderful time! Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. I would definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“Ashley was an absolute DREAM to work with. I have a shy, sometimes reactive, very particular pup and Ashley listened to all of my concerns and tips and instantly became one of Bear’s BEST friends. This was my first experience ever leaving my pup with anyone and I do not think I will ever have a better one. If you have any hesitation leaving your pup leave them with Ashley!! She lives on a beautiful farm and takes advantage of all of its beauty with your pup, Bear got daily walks around the farm and I was updated with the cutest pictures. Thank you so much Ashley, Bear and I cherish the time you to spent together.”
“Omg (Z) was the best. This was my first time having to leave my son with a stranger. She treated him like her son, she walked him daily, sent pictures, she communicated properly, she let me know how he was reacting to the environment. Overall at 10 plus. I have found my new sitter. Thank you Z you’re great.”

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!

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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
