“Our dogs had a great time with Shree and her dog Zusa. She made us feel comfortable and at ease with all the update videos and great communication. Our dogs were treated as if they were parts of her family. Definitely recommend Shree!”

“5-plus stars! Nadine and Mark were awesome with our 4 yr old cockapoo, Molly. They took great care to make her feel comfortable at their house. They are also very knowledgeable about dogs in general, which made me feel very comfortable. I received updates during her stay. Highly recommend! Thanks, Nadine and Mark!”

“Tory was absolutely wonderful! I have always had great experiences with Rover. When the person I used the last time was not available, I contacted Tory. It was obvious from the first meeting - her love for dogs and that she would welcome them into her home as if they were her own. She took such great care of my two little pomies while I was out of town for 3 days. She sent many photos and I knew when I picked them up that they had been in a happy place! I will definitely use her the next time! I highly recommend her!!!”

“George is the best of the best! It was apparent I made the right decision on who I was leaving my dog with within a couple minutes of meeting George, he’s very well knowledgeable and clearly knows how to handle doggies! (my pup literally listened better to him then he does me ha!) It was obvious through the pics I was sent that my pupper Callaway had the best time while my boyfriend and I were out of town for the week! There’s plenty of room at george’s place for the pup to run around and play, which was priority since I have a very energetic dog! Callaway frequently experienced separation anxiety so it was such a relief to find a place for him to go where he feels comfortable enough to be his playful self! He settled in almost immediately and barely whined while he was left alone in his kennel there, which was very out of the ordinary for our dog. and now back at home he’s been wayy less stressed when we have to leave him alone to go to work! I think he built some confidence there for sure, which wouldn’t have been possible without him having that comfortable environment. Thank you George for your awesome services, 10/10 recommend and will 100% be back the next time we have to leave town! :)”


“First time booking with Angela and it won’t be our last! She was incredibly kind and considerate when taking on Wade. The meet & greet went great and the stay was even better. It’s clear she cares about animals and their needs. Wade had a great time! Great communication throughout his stay and very accommodating! Highly recommend.”

“Teresa and her husband were especially attentive to our dog. They took care of her as she was their own. We are so appreciative to have someone so caring. Thank you being there when our dog needed you the most.”

“Queeny was so gentle and kind to our Albus. She shared pictures and videos of their time together and we were reassured that our fur baby was in safe hands. It was our first time away. Queeny is the best and definitely recommend!!”

“Kadi was soo sweet and accommodating! Definitely recommend her if anyone is looking for a good and loving pet sitter! I will ask her to watch my dog Millie again in the future!! 😍😇🥰”

“We had an amazing experience with Sofia. She was incredible with our puppy and kind and flexible with us. A joy to work with, extremely professional, and full of love for our dog! Thank you SO much Sofia! Would 100% ask her to watch Dove again.”

“We recently moved and were looking for a new dog sitter. We are so happy we found Michelle! Our dog Niko made fast friends with her and felt right at home. She even repaired one of his favorite toys when it ripped. We look forward to continuing to work with Michelle!”

“My dogs Nimbu and Sona have stayed with Vicki and her husband multiple times and they always have the BEST time! They are so kind and respectful and always go above and beyond for us and our pups! They send the best photos and we absolutely love them! If you need to board your dogs you should ABSOLUTELY go with Vicki!!!”

“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.”

“A C was able to accommodate my last minute request to watch Obie and they sent pictures and took really good care of him while we were away. Will definitely book again with them!”

“Laura and Manuel were perfectly communicative and great with my anxious dog who is wary of new people. She had fun and warmed up quickly to their own dogs!”

“Best dog sitter in town! Excellent communication. Tons of walks and pictures. Our dogs weren’t even that excited to see us at pickup time. They love staying over at Angelina’s house!”

“Amazing!! Our doodle loves going to Kellie’s to hangout with her doodle and her kiddos. She does a great job accommodating and keeping us updated with pics. We’ve used her twice now and will continue to do so!”

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 August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,641 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. 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.
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.
