“Tara was great. We were nervous to leave our dog since it was the first time she was ever away from us. Tara provided daily updates and pictures which eased our minds. I will use her again.”
About: I have had a dog my whole life until our dog passed away. I have decided to care for other people’s dogs to help fill the void of ours. We are empty nesters who would love the companionship of an animal to snuggle and care for. We love to walk and go to parks which we will do for your fur baby. I work 7 am to 6 pm but come home during the day for lunch so your fur baby will be able to go outside a few times a day. Also, home in the evenings and weekends if you were to choose us to care for your dog. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of grass to run on. Our home is not huge but we allow dogs to roam and if a kennel is needed we would ask you to bring yours to our house so the dog has a familiar place to go. We are loving dog people.
“Our dog Bear stayed with Dena and her family for the third time, and he had a great time! We will continue to be repeat customers because they are so kind and caring towards our dog. It is helpful to know that while you are gone, your pet is loved and cared for.”
“Chris and Cass were great! Very patient, kind and flexible. As sweet as our pitbull is, sometimes it’s hard to find a sitter because of the stigma that surrounds the breed. They even had our back when our flight was cancelled multiple times, forcing us to extend our dog’s stay. I’ll definitely be rebooking with them when needed and highly recommend them.”
“Shannon was very good with our dog. She kept us posted on how he was doing with posts through Rover and lots of pictures. I could tell our dog felt at home with her and we found her communication and service with our dog to be top notch!! We will definitely use her again. A+ and very grateful.”
“Chelsea always takes care of Benny with so much love!!! He gets so excited now when he realizes we’re headed out of town because that means he gets endless attention from Ms Chelsea ❤️”
“Molly loves going to Mark and Nadine's, and we love sending her there. Mark and Nadine are very easy to work with. They spoil Molly with love and treat her as part of the family. They are our go to sitter. We highly recommend them!”
“Amie and her family were wonderful! They made our dog Bentley feel like part of the family. He came home perky after his vacation with Amie. I loved all the pictures we received. He was very happy with them. We would definitely book with her again.”
“Kerri Took amazing care of my dog, with daily updates and pictures- She is one of the best Rover sitters I’ve had, and I can’t wait to board my dog with her On my next trip (and judging by how happy my dog was, I bet she can’t wait either!)”
“Amazing amazing!! Took such great care of our puppy!!! And such a sweet family!!! They were all in on taking care of pup! Loved the picture updates & appreciate quick responses! Thank you!”
“Dawn was/is great!! I’m just moving to Michigan and she was able to take Spinks short notice. I really appreciate her. Spinks had the time of his life and enjoyed playing with her dog Callie. She is very responsive and will send pics and videos of your pet.”
“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!”
About: I grew up with pets and are familiar with their special care and cues. I will take good care of them for sure with previous experience. Hi! You can call me Eva! Shiyuan is my legal name and super hard to pronounce but I can teach you to pronounce it if you want. I’m working hybrid (90% from home) currently and have plenty of time to play with your pets it would be my pleasure to pet walk/sit your pet soon! If I am in office/ unavailable at times during your house sitting/ dog walking session, I will ask my boyfriend Tanner to sit for your pet/ be my helper. He will be happy to meet and greet as well for you to see if he is a good fit. He grew up with dogs and cats and love animals very much and is also great at training doggie walks. If it’s a house sitting session, only I will be staying the night and he will not be there and he will mainly help me cover times I’m not available! I will care for pet in my client home by being attentive and considerate toward their specific’s pet’s needs and care. I will be able to do a good job giving them consistent care and make sure they are never left along for long periods of time and will find a cover if I am not available for long periods.
“I can’t thank you enough for helping me last minute watching Chelsea last week. The energy of your person and your home space is so grounding and calming was the immediate presence that I was relieved with upon meeting you. I needed my baby somewhere safe and peaceful and you provided that thank you beautiful human would love to work with you again! Tipped you in cash.”
“Alexandra & Georgi were amazing with my dog, Izzy. We had to leave her for 2 weeks and we have never left her that long before so I was nervous. Izzy was so loved and well taken care of I would not hesitate to do it again. Their daughter was perfect with Izzy, too. Very loving & gentle. I don’t think Izzy wanted to leave them :). Thank you so much!!!!”
“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!!”

Chelsea was great with my boy. He is a little quirky so she did a meet and greet beforehand and put my mind at ease that he would be fine. He was well taken care of and I saw photos and got updates every day. Ty Chelsea for giving us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation with no worries for him!
Cheryl is a very good communicator and our small dog was happy and relaxed after her recent stay with her - and it was easy to keep in touch with Cheryl. We were happy with how smoothly and straightforwardly everything went throughout this whole process with Cheryl and we would be happy to use her services again.
Kimberly and Charles were the sweetest! Our dog Bobi was a little nervous at the beginning and I was worried he wouldn’t adapt well, but by the second day he became comfortable with them and you can just tell that they’re the kind of people animals feel safe to gravitate towards. Without a doubt I would leave Bobi in their care again!
I am so thankful for the care that Beth provided for my baby boy, Maxwell. She went above and beyond in caring for him. She spoiled him rotten! I'm sure he misses her and her home. She took him for multiple daily walks and that's not an easy task! He loves to sniff everything. She cared for him like he was hers. I definitely recommend Beth for your fur baby!
Anjana truly is the pet whisperer. My wife and I were worried about our animals being away (it was our dog’s first time), but Anjana made them very comfortable right away and sent us regular updates. We especially loved the video updates. We will definitely book her again when we go on future trips.
Second time booking with Dawn. She has taken such great care of my dog. When we first pulled up to her house my dog was squeaking and crying to go inside. It was very nice to know that my dog was so excited to be back with Dawn and it made me feel good knowing she was happy and cared for while I was away.
So happy that Mark and Nadine were able to watch Cora on our weeklong vacation. We received frequent l updates which we liked, and we were really comfortable leaving her with them as they love dogs and are very attentive. Definitely would use them again to watch our dog!
Anne is awesome! It's a super lucky dog that gets to stay w/ her. There's walks, sometimes long ones, backyard explorations, and hanging out on the couch watching tv together time. I always felt guilty when I boarded my dogs. There's no guilt when they get to stay w/ Anne.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Livonia on Rover is $44.4 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 1,693 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Livonia. 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.
94% of Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia 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 Livonia.
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 Livonia 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.
