“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“A major part of any trip is feeling at peace knowing your pet is well taken care of. I knew my Penny was in good care with Gillian. I so appreciated all the pictures and updates while I was away. Thank you so much! 🤍”
“Emily did a great job caring for my pup while I was on spring break vacation. Her communication was timely, friendly, and clear. She provided complete information on what to expect while my pup was in her care- there was no second guessing and everything she said she followed through on. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.”
“We are really lucky to have found Angelina and her husband. They are excellent caregivers. The dogs are walled multiple times a day and they send pictures and communicate throughout the day. It’s always nice to see my dogs happy and loved while I’m away. Thank you!”
“Jess was amazing with Misty, and I could tell that Misty was so excited to arrive at her house for doggy day care/boarding. Misty being a newly adopted puppy for us, Jess offered insights into her behaviors while Misty was there and even brushed her. Overall, Jess was great and Misty will certainly be excited to go back in the future.”
“Gabrielle was a total sweetheart! We loved her 2 gentle labs & appreciated her meeting us twice before our stay. She's kind and gentle, and so sweet with my little Sr toy poodle. She sent pictures and genuinely cared for my dog. Would definitely book again! Thanks, Gabby!”
“I am very thankful for Tanuja for taking my Lucy on a last minute request to board. She was so flexible and very accomodating and it was a very pleasant dealing with her. On the day of boarding she will give constant updates, she will send plenty of pictures (great pics of Lucy together with their cute dog Mochi). Her husband Kumar helps her out with the doggies and they treat your dog like their own. They are not only great dog sitters but also really nice persons. I will definitely have them take care of my Lucy if the need arises . I would highly recommend Tanuja and Kumar (plus Mochi) to take care of your fur baby.”
“Jill took such good care of my dog on his visit to her home. We had contacted her a couple of days prior to her watching him and she was really responsive, accommodating and attentive to him while he was injured in a cone and administered his meds and provided extra care. We will definitely be coming back to Jill! Thanks so much!”
“We were so happy with all aspects of working with Rebecca. From communicating with her about our booking, our meet and greet, to the care and love she gave our dog while we were away, everything was easy and wonderful. Rebecca is a gem!”
“Zenon loved her stay with Angela! She was so great and communicative, and I could tell Zenon was very comfortable right away from the meet and greet. She went above and beyond to make sure Zenon was feeling at home, even with other dogs staying at the house at the same time. Will definitely be back. 🙂”
“Jenna did a great job with our high energy border collie/blue heeler mix! She was very easy to coordinate and communicate with. She sent regular updates, kept our dog busy with fetch and playing with other dogs in the backyard. Our dog loves being around people so it’s really nice to be able to leave him with someone when we’re out of town. We will definitely book with Jenna again!”
“Susan and her husband took amazing care of our 2 dogs, Rosie and Barley, last week while we were on vacation in California. We received pictures and updates regularly, and we knew that they were in kind hands in their home, and enjoying the backyard romps! Thank you so much, Susan!”
“Yvette was fantastic with Spring Roll. She took the time to go through his schedule and made sure he got all his quirks down. Sent frequent daily updates which was much appreciated. Would highly recommend”
“Megan was nothing short of AMAZING. I have had the opportunity to use many wonderful sitters on Rover over the years but Megan is definitely an 11/10. I could write a novel as to how wonderful our experience was, but I will stick to the highlights; She communicates extremely well, and it is beyond obvious that she loves dogs from the moment you step into her lovely home and you meet her adorable and well trained Hamilton (who my Greyson just adored). She will send you updates throughout your pups stay to not only let you know your pup is in the best hands, but she will also send you the most adorable photos along with those updates to assure you as well. Megan is accommodating, kind, and I can not recommend her highly enough. If you are fortunate enough to book her - DO IT!!”
“We had a great experience leaving our young dog with Samantha over the weekend! Our pup loved her right away and we could tell she would be in experienced and caring hands. While we were gone, Samantha kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos. We took home a tired and happy dog! We will definitely be using her again and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Kelly is a GOD SEND. I travel a lot for work, and am a single mom. She has taken amazing care of my dogs every time she has watched them, and they always come back happy and exhausted from all of the fun. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Alison and Parmer are excellent as always! You know your dogs are receiving fantastic care when you arrive for pickup and your dogs are at ease and seem perfectly at home.”
About: As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I bring compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. Growing up with dogs — and now being completely obsessed with my own — has taught me how important routine, safety, and genuine affection are. My background in healthcare means I’m dependable, highly attentive, and comfortable handling special instructions or medical needs. Your pet’s well-being and comfort will always be my top priority. Your dog will be treated like family, with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently have a hybrid work schedule I would be gone working Monday-Wednesday for up to 4 hours total in the mornings between 8am and 12pm but home with dogs the rest of the day after that. I work fully remote Thursdays and Fridays and then home all weekend. If I do have to leave or run errands I make sure dogs are not alone for too long and have never left my dog alone for more than 5 hours max. I have a large fenced in yard and 2 dogs who love to run and play. There is no furniture that is off limits, dogs are allowed anywhere they would like. Caring for the pet would mean working around the dogs schedule and routine. Dog would receive lots of exercise, treats and cuddles.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Royal Oak is $45

Susan and her husband Alan are amazing! They took incredible care of our two dogs, gave them so much love & attention and provided tons of cute updates frequently throughout my dogs’ stay. It was so comforting knowing my dogs were in excellent hands! I can’t imagine leaving my pups anywhere else!
Kimberly was super kind and accommodating!! My pup is people shy but he warmed up to her pretty quickly. She even had different toys and treats to gauge his interests. You can tell her heart is in this. I got consistent updates and i felt like my dog was in good hands. I will definitely book with her again!!
Sydney took exceptional care of our 7yr. old, mini golden doodle. She is prompt, courteous and wonderfully warm with people and pets alike. From our first meeting, I knew our dog was in great hands, which made our time away relaxing and worry-free. Her communication and photo updates were top-notch throughout the stay. This was our dog's first time staying with Sydney and we look forward to booking with her again!
Andrea was amazing and I cannot recommend enough! She helped me out when I was in a last minute bind and took my dog with one day notice. She sent me pictures and updates daily and kept me in the loop on how my dog was doing. Andrea is the most kind and my pup came home happy! We will absolutely use her in the future.
Jackie cared for my pup, Obie, so well while we were gone! She was extremely responsive, sent tons of pictures ans updates and she went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable. Will book with Jackie again 1000%! Her dog, Pinky, is also such a sweetheart and very welcoming!
I can’t say enough good things! I have a geriatric dog with respiratory allergies. Shree was able to accommodate the additional care without question. Videos were provided daily and I felt so comfortable with Ruby in Shree’s care. Shree will be my go-to pet sitter moving forward.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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.
