“I am so grateful to have found Amanda. She is such a sweet person and her care of my dog was exceptional, administering meds and food at specific times. She sent photos and messages to keep me updated. I felt very confident that Carly was being cared for with the same love and concern I have for her. I will use her services again and highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for the best dog sitter in the area.”
“Alisa was awesome. She keeps you informed on how your pet is doing. My dog loved her and she took very good care of his needs. I would definitely use her again. And i recommend her to any pet owner. It was my first time using a pet sitter. It was a good experience. Our pets are family and it's comforting to know they are treated good. Thanks again.??”
“We found ourselves in a bit of a jam before a planned trip after our long-term arrangement ended. Luckily, we found Theresa and Adrian! We initially discussed our ask - a few days stay - and agreed to bring over our Lucy for a quick visit. They were very attentive with great questions about Lucy's needs and habits. Lucy decided to be very ill-behaved at the visit and we offered to connect them with our previous sitter to confirm her usual behavior, which they took us up on. When we dropped off Lucy for the stay, she was wagging her tail and went in without a pause! They sent us pics and updates while we were away, which was such a relief and let us enjoy our time with family. When we arrived to pick up Lucy, she barked at the knock like it was her house! A good sign. She was happy to be home, but so much less stressed than if we had boarded her at the commercial place nearby. We would absolutely request to have Lucy stay with them again if they'll have her!”
“Susan did a fantastic job watching our GSP, Missy. Missy is a little anxious & nervous, and Susan knew just how to handle her. Susan provided frequent updates and pictures which assured us she was in good hands. In addition, Susan was graciously flexible with drop off and pickup times since we were working around our DTW flights. Thank you so much Susan! We will definitely consider you again for watching our Missy!”
“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.”
“Karen was a great sitter. This was a return visit for us. She sent a lot of pictures and updates. She was able to handle my anxious dog with ease and even helped when our flight was delayed. Will use again.”
“This is my 2nd time having Honey stay with Kerri and she did wonderful as always! Daily updates and when I picked her up she had so much fun playing with her pup friends she passed out in the car ride home! Will use her again and again!!!!”
“Nadine and Mark were fantastic! This was my first time using them and I had no concerns before, during, or after my dog’s stay. Sprout was clearly very calm and comfortable staying with them. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing their services.”
“I want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such great care of Donatello! When we adopted him we had already had a family trip planned. We were nervous to find care for him but Anthony took it on with ease! We got so many pictures and videos we felt like we knew where he was at all times and we could see he was enjoying his puppy buddy. Would highly recommend Anthony!!!”
“Thank you, Sarah, for giving Piper a wonderful long weekend, and for making sure that she has friends to play with! Piper always enjoys staying with you, and we appreciate how accommodating you are with us. Thank you!”
“There are not enough wonderful things to say about Leslie. First time leaving my senior babies behind was stressful... until I met Leslie that is. She was wonderful with my girls. I didn't worry about them at all I knew they were in the best care possible. If you want someone who will care for your babies like they are their own than book Leslie! I will be!”
“Robert took such good care of my girl! I was so nervous at first about her being away but he made sure it was updated and she was comfortable and well taken care of. My dog even got a chance to make some new friends which is amazing. Thank you again so much! I look forward to the next time babygirl has to go somewhere”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Alia & Ian provided for my boys, Frankie & Marco! They were incredibly reliable, and sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It's clear they're experienced and truly love dogs. My boys were happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend their services and will definitely be booking them again!”
“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”
“Katie kept us up to date on how Pumpkin was doing. Dog was relaxed and happy upon her return home and in all the pictures sent. Communication was great. We have another booking later this summer.”
“Brooklyn seemed well adjusted to JoAnn’s house and additional dogs. JoAnn sent multiple photos and comments each day during different activities. JoAnn clarified any directions on Brooklyn’s schedule and needs. We appreciated the daily communication for peace of mind. I am sure we will use JoAnn again!”
“Lindsey was an incredibly caring and loving caregiver for my senior pug. She thoughtfully updated us with pictures and updates while we were away and she was very flexible with pickup and drop off times. So happy we found her. ♡”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“Día is fantastic! Ellie, my senior dog, looked so happy with her. She sent a lot of pictures during the day. Ellie stayed with Dia for 15 days and I couldn’t be happier with the way Dia took care of Ellie. Highly recommended.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Inkster
“My dogs recently completed a six-night stay with Megan while I traveled. This was our first experience using a dog sitter outside of our family, so naturally, I wanted to make sure they would be in caring and capable hands. Megan scheduled a meet-and-greet beforehand, which immediately made me feel comfortable and confirmed my decision to use her services. During their stay, Megan was very attentive to my dogs’ physical, emotional, and medication needs. She kept me updated throughout my trip and regularly sent photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Megan and truly appreciated the care and attention she provided to my dogs. I will definitely be requesting her services again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.”
Teddy just finished his stay with Jasmine, and I couldn't be happier. She was attentive, followed all his care instructions, and kept me updated. Teddy came home happy and relaxed. It’s a huge relief to find someone so trustworthy to watch him!I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
I was out of town and had an emergency boarding situation with my pup Coco -- Stephanie came through and made it as easy as possible. After just a few quick messages, she was able to pick her up and take care her without an issue. It was as good of an experience as I could ask for and Stephanie will definitely be the first call I make when I need to board Coco in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Inkster on Rover is $45.51 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 1,640 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Inkster. 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 Inkster 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 Inkster 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 Inkster 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 Inkster.
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 Inkster 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.
