“Susan was great with our girls! From the start, I could tell our fur babies were at ease with her. She sent pictures and updates while they were in her care! She was quick to respond and very easy to work with. We will definitely book with Susan again!”
“Vanessa was absolutely wonderful! She was so easy to communicate with, sent daily updates and pictures, and was always very responsive. Our dog had an ear infection when we dropped her off and she went above and beyond in helping her get the right level of care. We couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind she provided us with while taking care of our dog.”
“Dogs came home happy, and we got a much needed break. Alice texted me during the big storm and gave updates on how the dogs were doing. It was great to have peace of mind.”
“MICHELLE IS AMAZING!! She has house sat, done drop ins and has boarded our dog many times. She is so thoughtful and compassionate towards dogs. She has a huge fenced in yard that my dog loves. Michelle sends pictures and a daily review of activities and opinions of how my dog or her dog are viewing the visit. I laugh and look forward to reading the fun and lively updates. I HIGHLY recommend Michelle for any dog sitting needs!”
“Mandy was great! She kept my dog for over a week and was very flexible with drop off/pick up times. She sent daily updates and the cutest pictures! My dog was very spoiled by her family! I will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you Mandy!!!”
“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”
“We loved getting pictures and videos of our dog while we were away. We could see him getting more and more comfortable and happy with his pet-sitters every day. We would definitely book again with Victoria and Rishi.”
“Julie did an excellent job caring for my dog. This was my first experience boarding my dog through Rover. I will definitely try to book with Julie in the future. She sent text updates with pictures and videos. Thank you so much, Julie!”
“As a local rover sitter myself, so I’m setting the bar high, I was very pleased with Thalia. My 6lb baby lost his brother of 15 yrs a week before my unavoidable trip. I was beyond devastated, full of greif and unbelievable guilt at the thought of having to leave my little guy now, especially with the level of depression porky was in. Thalia took Porky all around with her the little dog bag I have so he wasn’t alone. She gave him the attention and love he needed to finally start eating again. After being gone 4 days I was so relieved to see Porky’s personality coming back and he’s eating normally again now that we’re home. I know this would not have ever been possible if he hadn’t been receiving the love, attenti & affection the entire trip I was gone. I will definitely use her again. Thank you Thalia for giving me the peace of mind to travel again and know Porky will be in good hands❤️”
“Christine did a great job with our dogs. Our greyhound got to play in the fenced yard with a couple of other dogs and our small elderly terrier got plenty of lap time with Christine’s mom. Would take our pups back here again.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since before I completed my undergraduate degree in Animal Science, taking part in rescue organizations and volunteering as a foster. I also have 2 dogs (7 and 4 y/o) that I raised since they were puppies. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats. If your pets have any special needs, let me know and we can discuss! I'm currently finishing up a PhD in animal science at MSU, so I have a somewhat flexible schedule that can be adjusted based on your needs. I am a graduate student, so my schedule is flexible as I build it myself. I can adjust based on pet care needs, as well as do check-ins throughout the day. Being an owner of two very different dogs, I understand that there are different requirements and needs for each pet, so I will take care of your pet based on any of the requirements you set.
“I can't say enough good things about Stephanie W.! She did an amazing job watching my Rottweiler, Rocky. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care—she’s top-notch!"”
“Kathy is a true gem. I was nervous to find a new sitter for Harriet because she spent her first 1.5 years in Ann Arbor with the same sitter who recently moved away. Kathy was communicative and friendly. Harriet sprinted to her as soon as we pulled up to her house, and then pulled back toward her house as I picked her up to leave. She was exhausted for the rest of the day back home! I’ve already booked her again!”
“This was the second time Tracey has watched our Bella and I was not disappointed once again. She sent daily updates with pictures which I really appreciated. I feel totally comfortable leaving my baby with her and am confident that she's in good hands! Tracey is a dog trainer, is very knowledgeable and even helped me with a trick I'd been trying to teach Bella! It's very obvious how much she cares for her own dogs but also my dog when she's in her care!! Thank you Tracey!”
“Brianna was very good at communication, made us comfortable that our dogs were doing well while we were out of town. She sent pictures of them and was quick to answer our questions. Highly recommend!”
“During the stay, Makayla provided regular updates with photos and videos, which put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was having a wonderful time and was being well taken care of. When I picked up my dog, he was happy, relaxed, and in great spirits. It was evident that he had received plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I highly recommend Makayla to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and dedicated pet sitter.”
“I have never left my dogs before. They have always been with family. Sarah made this effortless and was extremely accommodating in every aspect. Sending us updates and pictures and videos. It made our heart so full to know we had somebody that cared about our dogs as much as we did. Highly recommend!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mason
Brooke took great care of our Chiweenie, Benji! We couldn't have asked for a better person to leave him with. Benji is shy and quiet, and usually uncomfortable around other dogs. She slowly introduced him to her dog and they became good friends. Her backyard is perfect for getting some exercise and Brooke is amazing! She made sure Benji was comfy and happy. During our vacation, we were never concerned about our little buddy. She sent us updates and pictures! If you're looking for someone who does a great job and truly cares about your dog, we wholeheartedly recommend Brooke!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Mason is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 291 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mason. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Mason 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 Mason 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 Mason.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Mason. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Mason 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
