About: I had dogs growing up and our family had dogs when the kids were living at home. As seniors, we especially appreciated having senior dogs to care for. I will enjoy getting to know and taking care of your furry family member. I get up about 6:30 am and will let your dog out first thing. Since my yard is fenced in, they can run around and explore to find the best place to go. Then breakfast will be next. We can take a walk in the neighborhood and whenever I have errands to run, I'm happy to have the pup ride along in the car. Being retired but still active, I am able to spend lots of time throughout the day with your dog! Dogs are kept safe by being on a leash with me if we're away from home, either taking a walk in the neighborhood or going for a ride in the car.

“Kim took very good care of Willow and Bentley. She and her children love dogs. They walked my dogs, combed my dogs, fed them, gave Willow her medication, gave my chubby doxie a much loved tummy rub and took good care of them. She sent me photos of my dogs and they looked happy and well cared for.”

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet owner with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work 8-5pm M-F at y full time job, but I am available before and after those times as well as on the weekends. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean and safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular walks or playtime. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will provide updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors cats and dogs for the past ten years, while also loving and caring for my own pets. We currently have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, a veiled chameleon, and a betta fish, so I have experience caring for a wide range of animals! I am currently a senior at Wake Forest University who has a part-time schedule. My light course load allows me to spend ample time with your furry friends. The safety and comfort of my own/clients pets is of utmost importance to me. I love to spend time playing and grooming my own dog and will always treat every animal with the same care!

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, all shapes and sizes. I currently own a Husky, his name is Rollo, and a Chihuahua named Yoda. Both of them are age 6 and have been solely in my care since. I understand that every dog has their own personality, especially breeds like huskies. I’m comfortable handling their energy, attitude, and unique needs while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time but am also in between jobs so my schedule could change. However, because my job schedule can be slightly unpredictable, I will still try my best to help out. The only guaranteed day I cannot do is Monday. I live in a safe quiet environment that offers lots of nearby maintained county trails for dogs to walk in, including enclosed dog parks. My two dogs get along with others extremely well to provide company if wanted.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Pavilion

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 197 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pavilion. 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.

98% of sitters in Pavilion 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 Pavilion 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 Pavilion.

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 Pavilion. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 Pavilion 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.
