“Natalia is a fantastic dog boarder! Both she and her husband were so welcoming and took excellent care of Whiskey. I especially appreciated how accommodating and flexible they were with my pick-up and drop-off schedule. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter!”
“Azariah's wonderful - she made sure we and our dog felt comfortable with her and was respective of our dog's reactivity to other dogs. She posted updates & pix and was very responsive and punctual.”
“Super easy and informed stay with Jess. Even on short notice, she was accommodating and very helpful with pre-visit communication. Will happily have Mitchell visit again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter in Whitley! Our dog, Pepper, had the best time and was so well cared for. The communication was fantastic, and we loved knowing she got to play with Ollie the whole time—they became the best of friends! We’ll absolutely have Pepper stay again. Highly recommend!”
“Vanessa was great with my dog Ivy. She made me feel comfortable leaving my dog for the first time and my dog took to her right away. She sent me pictures and updates everyday letting me enjoy a relaxing vacation without worry. I will definitely be using Vanessa every time I need a dog sitter!”
“I will absolutely be letting Tara watch Raz again. Like other reviewers mentioned, when I brought him home he could not stop sleeping, so I know he had a great time. She communicated wonderfully and sent so many pics which I loved. My pup felt right at home. Very kind and caring family as well, I’d highly recommend to anyone!”
“I am so happy to have found Megan! She is truly a loving, responsible, and committed animal caregiver! Not only that, but she lives close to my home. On a daily basis, Megan provided me with updates regarding my penny’s status, including photographs. I definitely will use her services again.”
“Allesha has been an exceptional host for Rex. She fully understood his requirements and provided care tailored to his needs. I highly recommend her without hesitation.”
“We have used Steven several times for our pet boarding and he is excellent with my Spinks. Spinks is always happy and exhausted from all the exercise he gets at Steven’s. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting/boarding needs.”
“Andrea was the best. I have been using rover for over 5 years and she has by far been the best with my pup and in every other aspect. Great communication. Daily photos and updates. Walked my pup daily.”
“Ashley was our life saver with watching our new puppy! We had a family trip planned long before knowing when we’d get our puppy and the timing was such that we needed help! She met with us prior, and learned after that she needed to give two medications (which she was not troubled by in the least!) Ashley sent us regular photos and videos and we could tell our new fur baby was in excellent hands! She also accommodated our very late arrival to pick up. She has set the bar high, as this was our first experience! Your pet will be well loved with Ashley.”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, so I have the most free time during mornings and evenings. I live in an apartment with my very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.
“Meredith was super kind, lovely and made my little Bichon Frisé felt totally at home. She updated me with videos and pictures constantly even describing how my little one was feeling each day. Definitely I’ll book Meredith again, she is the best!”
“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.”
“I can’t rave enough about the care our dog Stella received. Pallavi and her husband provided tons of feedback, photos, videos of our dog while under their care. Our dog was well cared for and loved. Highly recommend”
“Gave us regular updates and helped make what was a chaotic weekend for me and my girlfriend, a nice peaceful getaway with no worries. Can’t thank them enough!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - River Rouge
Beverly made me feel beyond comfortable leaving my Lilo in her care. She sent multiple videos and pictures. She treated Lilo as I do. I knew Lilo was comfy and safe when Beverly sent me pics of Lilo doing things she only does with me. Beverly communicates timely and was very kind and sweet. After 2 overnights, I’ll be booking for daycare next.
I was beyond impressed with how much I could tell that she loved dogs. I was actually pretty nervous about leaving Tonic with a pet sitter, first time jitters. But I'm extremely pleased to say that those fears were unwarranted. I would gladly rebook her and I will definitely be recommending her to my friends.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in River Rouge on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,630 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in River Rouge. About 93% of River Rouge sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
