“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!”
“If you want to treat your dog for the spa / vacation while you are gone , do not look any other place ! They are so amazing and lovely . Zoe is also a sweetheart 😍My dog fell in love with both of them instantly! I can not explain how wonderful and lovely they both are . Will definitely bring my dog back”
“This was my first time using Rover and also the first time leaving my fear-aggressive dog with someone outside of family. I was honestly nervous, but Toni completely exceeded my expectations. From our first meet and greet, she made me feel comfortable and confident that my dog was in great hands. Toni is very professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra understanding. I truly believe she helped build my dog’s confidence around other dogs during his stay. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. I’m so grateful for the wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend Toni. If you’re looking for someone you can genuinely trust with your dog—especially one who may need a little extra care—Toni is the person to book. I would absolutely leave my dog with her again without hesitation!”
“Remi had so much fun at Caroline’s beautiful property!! He had so much space to run around and play and lots of friends to play with! I received so many cute videos, 3-4 a day!!! I would definitely bring Remi again!”
“Deana was absolutely amazing! She and her husband, James, took such great care of my dog, Henny, during a last-minute boarding. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such a loving and attentive home. Deana truly treats your pet like her own, and it shows in everything she does. Henny was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Plus, her dog Shaggy is adorable and has such a similar personality to Henny :) It’s also a huge bonus that she lives nearby, making everything so convenient. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she provided and would not hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: **Back to My Roots. Back to My Passion!** Former owner of KT Specialty Pet Care, I’m excited to return to what I’ve always loved most—caring for pets. I provide loving, dependable, and personalized care for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppy playtime and socialization, walks and exercise, senior pet care, medication administration, in-home visits, and in-home boarding. I also offer limited grooming services, including bathing, nail trims and more. With many years of experience in the veterinary field, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’m excited to get back to my roots and my passion for providing the love, attention, and care your pets deserve. I offer flexible pet care options to fit your needs, including morning and evening visits, quick pop-in visits, and walks. I also provide in-home pet care for those who want their furry family members to stay comfortable in their own home, along with limited grooming services such as baths and nail trims. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care while giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. My home has a separate, dedicated space where I can comfortably care for, board, and groom your pets. While I have pets of my own, they will never be exposed to your pet, providing a safe and comfortable environment during their stay. I have extensive experience with overnight stays, medication administration, and caring for pets with a variety of needs. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I will provide them with the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own.
“Sara was so wonderful! Our dog Jovie stayed with her for a long weekend when our plans changed and needed a sitter on short notice. She was so accommodating on meeting beforehand and Jovie took to her well. She got lots of walks and extra love with Sara. Jovie came home happy and we were so grateful to have lots of updates and photos during our trip for ease of mind! Thanks Sara!”
About: I have always loved animals and had pets my entire life. Currently have a dalmatian that loves to play and could use a friend to help them both burn energy. I work from home and would love to give my dalmatian, Bennie Mae, a walk with a new friend! Also, my schedule is very flexible. We have a dog-proof home with plenty of space to run and play. Nearby park with room to roam outside. Wonderful neighborhood to go on walks.
“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.”
“Tracey was very efficient and compassionate in caring for our dog. She understood and followed all instruction about our dog’s routine and special dietary requirements. In addition, she described our dog’s unique behaviors and asked excellent questions toward better understanding our pet’s personality. Finally, she sent periodic photos which further reassured us and gave us peace of mind. We would definitely request her services again!”
“my dogs must have enjoyed it because they didn’t act any different getting in the car and going home. They barely missed us. I can tell this family enjoyed taking care of my dogs and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
About: I grew up with dogs and I have owned a dog for 40+years. I raised German Shepard and Pitbulls. Sadly, I lost both my Pitbulls last year. I love to walk dogs and snuggle as well. I am a retired teacher. I am trustworthy and understand the importance of loving and caring for all dogs. I am retired so I have flexibility. I am very busy with my grandchildren, but again, I am flexible. I will keep pets over night. I live in a condo and the community welcomes pets and there are all kinds of breeds. There is a nice grass area to walk the dogs with a lovely paved 1 mile loop to walk through a beautiful community.
“Laura was amazing! My dog needed some extra love since his foot was injured and she took extra good care of him. She was very communicative and a pleasure to work with.”
“I can’t say enough about Kelsey and Kyle. Fantastic people, loved on my dog the whole time. Scout slept with their kids even❤️ we will absolutely be reaching out in the future”
“Sheila is very good at adjusting her care to our dog’s unique needs. She listens to us about her habits (like not wanting to go outside before bedtime even though she needs to take care of business), and works with her. She also asks questions about unusual behaviors to try and understand what our dog expects or needs. With a senior dog, this is invaluable! Thank you Sheila!”
“Bill and Sandy always take such fantastic care of Parker and he loves coming to stay with them. They keep us updated and always go the extra mile. We're so grateful they're such wonderful people!”
“My 2 year old cavapoo loved her first time at Laura’s! She came home happy & tired after playing with her new dog friends. Laura graciously accommodated a quick meet & greet before our first boarding visit so that my dog could sniff around. She provided daily updates & pictures of my puppers while we were away. I’d highly recommend her!”
“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!!!”
“It’s amazing to find people that care about and love our dog just as much as we do! We would recommend Stephanie to anyone :) Loki loves all the doggy friends he meets and always comes home very tired lol”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Howell 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 929 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Howell. 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.
96% of Howell 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 Howell 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 Howell 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 Howell.
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 Howell 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.
