About: I started dog sitting when I was a young teenager, but I didn’t have my own dog until 2019. Since then I’ve been able to watch friends and family members dogs. I used Rover services for my own dog and realized it would be fun to care for others’ pets and provide play dates for my dog at the same time. I work from home Monday-Friday and we’re typically home on weekends. My dog is friendly and happy to play with others or relax all day. We have a fenced in yard and are very focused on safety. We have plenty of sidewalks to take walks on. I allow dogs on furniture and have plenty of dog beds and toys.
“Megan was awesome! This was the first time my pup has been away from me. Megan went above and beyond what I expected. She gave me regular updates and pictures. I will definitely have her watch my fur baby again. I recommend her 100%!”
“Dawn was great! We got updated with pictures and video. Bella really enjoyed her time. I highly recommend Dawn and I will be reaching out to her on our next trip away. Thank you, Dawn 🐾”
“David was awesome. Great communication, responsive. We felt really good about the way he took care of our little dog. He’s certainly going to be our first choice next time.”
“Tara and Gary were able to accommodate my last minute request. Sending me pictures and video keeping me in the loop of little rockys first time away from home. She treated rocky like her own and he was tired out from the fun he had. You can tell they really care. Thank you again for taking care of my fur baby!”
“We had such a great first Rover experience with Shannon! She sent updates and pictures of our dog several times a day, and she was professional from start to finish. We’ll definitely call on her again when we need dog-sitting!”
“Kerri did a great job watching Bella. We always miss her when she is away, but knowing she was in a kind home made us rested.Kerri gave us daily texts and pictures. We will definitely be taking Bella back.”
“Christina was very communicative and accommodating, keeping us updated on everything we needed to know throughout the stay. She even let us know about a last-minute schedule change on her end so we were fully aware. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and will definitely book again!”
“Wonderful people! I couldn’t be happier that I found them. My dog is a rescuer and doesn’t like everyone. He immediately loved them and I trust them completely. They give the love and attention pet resorts do not give. I have no interest in even trying another sitter. They are perfect.”
About: I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pet! I love dogs and cats, and have one cat of my own. :) I currently care for family and friends pets when they are out of town, but would love to add a few more pets to my schedule for boarding/drop-ins or walks. I am responsible & reliable and will treat your pet with much love and care! My current availability is evenings after work and weekends. During the summer months (mid June, July, August) my availability is open and I can provide pet care any time. I will follow all directions and give your pets the same love and care I give my sweet babies at home! I am reliable and respectful of others home & pets. You can count on me to take excellent care of your pets!
“Chris and Cass were awesome sitters! They are really kind, cool people who love dogs. My Sammy had a blast staying at their place and I know he loved it. I actually felt bad taking him back home because he was having so much fun :) My pup Sammy is a pretty nervous and anxious dude around strangers, but not Chris and Cass. He loved them both and I’m so happy to have met them.”
“Ginsberg had a great time while we were gone. Teresa made her a part of the family letting her warm up at her own pace. She loved hanging out in the huge backyard with friends and lounging on the couch watching household activities and sleeping. Highly recommend Teresa. She’s sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see Ginsberg was happy and relaxed.”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She took great care of Cosmo, sent pictures every day, played fetch with him, and was happy to let him hang out outside as much as he wanted. She has a great backyard for dogs. We will definitely send Cosmo to Lindsey again!”
“I can’t begin to express the love my Romeo and I have for Jailyn! My pup had to do an extended stay since we’re moving and she took care of my baby as if he was her own!! Always keeping me updated with texts and photos! She will always be his sitter!”
“Ms. Beverly was awesome with everything, from when I first sent her a request about keeping my dogs ,the meet and greet, keeping me updated with videos and pictures, everything ran just so smooth with her and I didn't worry about my dogs at all and was able to enjoy my trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER”
“Luna LOVES going to Lauren & Kevin's. As soon as we arrived she was so excited to see them, she jumped to give them both kisses then immediately started to play with Chani. I always have piece of mind when she's with them.”
“Megan did a great job taking care of my baby while I was gone on a vacation for the long weekend. I received daily updates, pictures and videos of my dog playing with her puppy. She also bathed him and kept him in comfort during the Father’s Day fireworks. I am beyond impressed, thankful and appreciative to her love towards the fur babies!!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and had dogs in my own home for 10+ years. I have had experience ranging from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and diabetes. I work remotely from my home and will make sure your pet has all the attention that they need. While I have your pet I will ensure they are only left alone briefly for necessary errands. I have a fenced backyard and one well mannered if energetic pup. Your dog will receive as much love and care as my own. From snuggles on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and games of fetch in the back yard.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Inkster is $45

Megan was amazing with Archie and took excellent care of him. Archie got regular walks and She kept constantly updated about him which I intern helped us relax on our vacation. She also went out of the way to boil some fresh chicken and turkey which Archie relished. Thank you Megan
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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Inkster on Rover is $44.67 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,684 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.
