“Raheid was simply amazing with Vito. His home is open and spacious and very conducive for a pet. His family is loving yard is an awesome playground and I love how he tried to walk Vito several times a day but I have a lazy dog who doesn’t like to walk I also was very impressed with his freshwater, feeding both that he has for all of his pets that he keep will highly recommend him and will definitely rebook.”
“It was not easy caring for my elderly Husky. Kelly exemplified care and concern. Texted me daily with updates and always kept a cheerful upbeat disposition. Very grateful to her.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Lavina & Herbert Sr (Starr Pet Sitting LLC). This being my 1st time using Rover, I was definitely nervous with leaving my new fur baby (3 months old) "Lola Bell" with anyone but family. The care Lola Bell received was exceptional. Lavina was very welcoming when I dropped Lola Bell off. I had to use Lavina's boarding service due to me working 12 hr midnight shifts. I was provided with updates that seem personalized just for my baby that yielded positive results. Their company displayed a high level of professionalism and made me feel extremely comfortable while my Lola Bell was in their care. I highly endorse Lavina & Herbert Sr for her excellent service and expertise.”
“Excellent service!! Yvette provides a real home environment for our boy. She even arranges “guest dog visits” for our little hyper-active boy, to keep him company and happy. Lots of pictures and videos were sent to us. We are very pleased with the service provided.”
“Our two pups enjoyed their recent stay with Susan and her husband very much. They’re very nice people and we never doubted that our dogs were being well cared for and getting lots of love. We received daily reports, lots of pictures and prompt replies anytime we checked in. It was a great overall experience and we definitely plan to use them again. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their dogs.”
“When I say my FurBaby was well cared for- he was!! They took exceptional care of Hendrixx. They sent numerous videos everyday- which I loved and appreciated. I highly recommend Mou and Yanling. I definitely will be using them for all of my boarding and sitting needs for Hendrixx.”
“angelina was super attentive and consistent with updates. i love all the pictures she sent of mowgli having the best time ever! and he got a ton of exercise with multiple walks a day. angelina is definitely going to be our primary dogsitter from now on.”
“Andrew & Linh did an outstanding job keeping me posted with Ruby’s care throughout her stay with comments, pics and videos! This was my first time having them watch her, and I will definitely ask again if I’m out of town!”
“Could not be happier with our experience with Emily and Jason!!! Completely professional, warm and friendly with the whole experience. We started with a casual meet and greet to ensure her baby Larry and my babies would get along ok. Then during their stay she sent us tons of updates and photos every day. My dogs came home so happy. Truly the best experience we have ever had on Rover. She even sent them home with little treats and a hand written card. Will absolutely be a repeat customer, couldn’t recommend them more!”
“Alison and Parmer cared for Max like he was their own! Communication was outstanding, Alison sent pictures and updates per my request. I knew Max was getting the attention and love he would have at home which allowed us to travel without worry. We’re grateful he was in such good care!”
“Sam was awesome! I would highly recommend her to anyone! I have difficulties leaving my dog with almost anyone, even my family! Sam kept in touch with pictures daily and provided a friendly message about the day they had! Thanks again, Sam!!!”
“Mariana was so communicative and sent tons of photos during our pup’s stay! She also was very flexible with us as our travel plans changed. We would definitely book again! Thanks!”
“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!”
“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.”
“All I can say is WOW!! Nicole spoiled my dog just like he was at home and I could not asked for him to have a better sitter. Joey came home happy and I will definately be using Nicole again! Thanks Nicole”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic! Hazel loved her time there. She was happy and tired (in a great way) when we picked her up. Carolina had excellent communication and took Hazel for a nice walk in the neighborhood, her favorite thing to do. Am definitely using Carolina again!”
“Rebecca and her husband took phenomenal care of my Millie, and she got along well with their children. It was evident she received lots of loving care and attention. On top of that, I received photos and videos. I would definitely board her at their home again. In addition, I feel comfortable recommending them to others. Millie's tail was wagging when I arrived to pick up and she was clearly very happy. In fact, she made a new best friend, Dixie. That's a big deal because she's a rescue dog and can often be shy around other dogs. If you're looking for quality boarding for your pet, look no further than Rebecca's. Thank you, Rebecca and Jim. Jeanette & Millie”

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!
Sydney was everything I could have asked for in a caring pet sitter! She watched my 2 special needs fur babies in her home for 6 days, and I was impressed from the moment she greeted me and welcomed me into her home! Sydney had pre-printed care sheets with my pets' names at the top, and we filled out questions together to get to know their needs and preferences. We did a slow introduction with the other pets that were there, and my babies were able to explore the house and yard in their own time. Sydney offered a pickup and drop-off service, which was very convenient on the days of my flights while traveling. She was responsible for giving medications daily and addressing my pets' comfort and safety. I received text and photo updates and she stayed in communication about how my pets were doing with their medical issues and emotional/social needs. Sydney is a professional and caring person and I highly recommend her services!
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.
Kadi is amazing and my sweet little old girly girl, Dolly, just loves her. ❤️ Dolly is 13 and doesn’t ever play with dogs but Kadi sent me pictures of Dolly having the best time playing with her dog. It made me so happy! I will definitely be using Kadi for doggy care the next time we travel.
Camille was great with my little Winnie!! After Winnie’s surgery 7 months ago, trusting a sitter to take care of her with her quirks has been tricky. Camille eased all of my concerns and was AMAZING with my lil girl and gave her lots of walks, cuddles and love. Will def be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Royal Oak on Rover is $40.66 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,587 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Royal Oak. About 93% of Royal Oak 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.
