“Craig was great with my dog. I had to leave him for a week and Craig was very good with him taking him for walks and sending me pictures everyday. He is easy going and I will leave my pup with him if the need arrives anytime.”
“Samantha and Zachary are awesome. Unfortunately it was a last minute trip but they set up the meet and greet right away and right away I knew it was the right choice. Loved getting the pics and videos and I would highly recommend them. Plan on using them again.”
“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.”
“Katie did a wonderful job watching my pup! She sent updates with pictures, and I knew she was taking as good of care of her as I would! Will use her again, 10/10 would recommend!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving KodaBear with Dawn and her family. We received pictures and texts confirming he was doing well. Their daughter allowed Koda to snuggle at night! I think Koda misses Rambo!! We highly recommend this family!”
“Very communicative with daily check-in and lots of pictures and videos. Also went above and beyond by allowing me to pick up my dog later than Rover allows due to a flight delay. She is my go to boarding person.”
“Our family is so grateful to have found Kellie to watch our dog. He was well cared for and we enjoyed the daily pic Kellie sent us while away on vacation. It is reassuring to know our dog has a safe and loving place to stay when needed. Thank you, Kellie!”
“We booked last minute and she accepted. Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby. He really enjoyed the stay there. She sent pictures and videos to update us. She went above and beyond when zizi wasnt eating. She communicated and made us feel at ease. I would recommend her very professional 👌 our dog had fun. We will book her again. Thanks Rachael for taking care of zizi😊”
“Tracey was awesome! We left our dog with her for the weekend and he had a blast. She was very responsive and sent us photos and updates everyday. We will definitely be coming back!”
About: I have been rescuing dogs for almost 2 decades. Needless to say, I love dogs. I currently have a great Pyrenees and she would love Company. I work 100% remote from home., my yard has a 6 foot privacy fence am I Home is very dog friendly. I am also experienced in taking care of diabetic dogs, including testing and injections twice a day, monitoring food and making sure that all the dogs under my hair get daily walks, and lots of love. I work 100% remote. My day doesn’t start until nine, which allows me to spend time in the morning either playing with the dogs going for walks. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood around those days that the weather doesn’t permit us to go out I have what we call beauty time.. I walk my dog every evening for at least 30 minutes and if the day is nice, we try to get some time in during lunch as well My house and backyard are very pet friendly. I am not someone who gets upset if there’s an accident after all they’re pets, stuff’s gonna happen. I have a 6 foot privacy fence in my backyard. My dog prefers to sleep outside, but for the dogs that I’m sitting I prefer they be inside with me.
“Steven was very helpful and attentive! He always kept me updated on drop off and pick up times for my Lilo girl. She had so much fun playing with the other dogs.”
“Amanda was awesome! Our dog had a wonderful time! She sent updates and was available and responsive. He’s and energetic pup and he loved having a playmate and a fenced in yard to run around as well as daily walks. I would highly recommend her and we are planning on using her again in the future!”
“I appreciate Mou and Yanling because they did a wonderful job caring for my Belly Belle! They regularly sent photos and videos of my furbaby. She returned home as happy as the day she arrived to them.”
“Sydney made our first vacation without our fur child a breeze! We felt completely relaxed and worry-free leaving our pup with her. She provided consistent text and photo updates and was very proactive with her care. Our pup absolutely loved her and was clearly very comfortable around her. We look forward to booking Sydney again!”
“Britnie and her husband Steve were amazing with our little Lula! They took great care of her while we were gone! They sent us lots of photos and updates every day. Britnie even bought her a Christmas present. Britnie and Steve have so much love for our furry friends, I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.”
“Nathan and his family are excellent dog sitters. Duke had a great time. He was sending pictures so I can see how Duke was managing being away from home. I truly appreciate the great care they gave my dog. I’ll definitely use them again.”
“Monica is a perfect for boarding or watching your fur baby! She administers simple meds and sends photo updates. We left our fur baby with her for 16 days and was able to do that feeling confident that Mazie was getting care just like she would at home. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our Mazie Mae! We will definitely be rebooking soon!”
“Jessica was amazing with our pups! We've never used Rover before but decided to for a 9 day trip. We are worriers with our babies so we were nervous, but I am so happy we did because they had tons of play time/attention, and it was SO much more affordable than a boarding facility. We received daily pictures, updates, and some videos along the way. We will definitely be working with Jessica again!”
“Katherine was a fantastic accommodating host for our precious Bruno! We were running late to drop him off and then had a family emergency that delayed us picking him up a few hours later than planned. She sent us photos throughout his stay and asked us about taking him out. I appreciated her consideration. We will absolutely be using her again in the future if she will have us!”
“Gerrie was a wonderful caretaker and she provided amazing care for Max. She responded promptly to all my questions and gave timely updates on his situation. We are so grateful for all she has done. Thank you!”

I cannot say enough amazing things about Craig! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving my dogs with someone new, but was instantly put at ease. Craig kept me updated multiple times a day, which I appreciated. He went above and beyond with them-taking them for multiple walks a day that even included going to parks and the beach, giving them so much love and attention. He genuinely cared about them and wanted them to have a fun, happy stay. I came home to two very happy (and tired) dogs, and I’m honestly sad their stay is over because I know how much fun they had. I would absolutely recommend him and will definitely use him again.
Katie was great!! My dog had a blast staying with her and was well cared for. She gave regular updates and communicated throughout his stay. My dog has some special health needs and quirks about him as well, but she was awesome helping him. Would 100% book again with her! :)
Sarah and her family were awesome with our dog Wrigley. It's been years since we left him with anyone. We brought him to her house and immediately he was running around and didn't seem to care that we left him. We felt really comfortable when we left him and never worried about him. We received lots of updates, photos and videos. Wrigley always looked happy. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. I'm sure he got a lot more attention at their house. I will definitely use Sarah again; she is now our go to person for Wrigley.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saint Clair Shores on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,331 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saint Clair Shores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Saint Clair Shores sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Saint Clair Shores landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saint Clair Shores 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 Saint Clair Shores.
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.
You and your Saint Clair Shores 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.
