“This was our second time leaving both our dogs with Marija and we are just as happy as we were the first time. We’re very thankful for her and her family’s kindness and love for our dogs!”
“Holly made our first Rover experience a great one! She was super about responding to my initial questions and she kept me supplied with pictures and updates during Rapunzel’s stay.”
“Remi had so much fun at Caroline’s beautiful property!! He had so much space to run around and play and lots of friends to play with! I received so many cute videos, 3-4 a day!!! I would definitely bring Remi again!”
“Once again, Tiffani and her family took great care of my pup, Rosie, while we were on vacation! She had to help her through a couple thunderstorms for the first time, but I was happy knowing Rosie was extra loved. I appreciated the cute video updates and prompt responses. Rosie LOVES staying with Tiffani & her sweet family! They've become her "home away from home". 🩷”
“If you want to treat your dog for the spa / vacation while you are gone , do not look any other place ! They are so amazing and lovely . Zoe is also a sweetheart 😍My dog fell in love with both of them instantly! I can not explain how wonderful and lovely they both are . Will definitely bring my dog back”
“Karen was simply amazing. She took wonderful care of our dog, Daisy. And we would absolutely have her watch Daisy again. Karen offered Daisy healthy treats throughout her stay (after making sure it was okay with us). She sent pictures and updates everyday. Daisy was often cozy, comfortable, and snuggled up. Overall, it was obvious to us that Karen is a real animal lover. We are so grateful to have found her.”
“Our experience with JoAnn was exceptional. We just added Moxie to our family and were very nervous about leaving him while we went on vacation. This was our first opportunity utilizing Rover. JoAnn was patient with us as we learned how to navigate the app. From our very first encounter, Moxie's meet-n-greet, JoAnn asked us all the necessary questions to assure she followed Moxie's home routine closely. Prior to taking on any other pets during Moxie's stay, JoAnn scheduled time for the pets to meet which validates her focus was on the health and well-being of both pets. One of our favorite parts of every day was the photos and messages JoAnn sent. He looked like he had an amazing time. Our family would 100% recommend JoAnn to care for your pet. We will definitely reach out again when traveling.”
“Andrew was fantastic with our two dogs over the holiday. Making sure they had their walks and constant attention gave us so much peace of mind! So thankful for all the love our pups got!”
“Deana was great with Poppy! She is a dog lover and I knew Poppy was in the best hands while we were away for a long weekend. I could tell Poppy was right at home and I would definitely rebook in the future. I highly recommend!”
“Kristi and Jason are both very friendly and welcoming. They took Pebbles into their own home and kept her safe and happy while I was gone for a long weekend. It was great knowing that Pebbles was getting lots of attention, love, and play time with her new dog friend, Oli. Kristi and Jason sent me updates including pictures of them taking her out for a walk, which was very reassuring . I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them!”
“my dogs must have enjoyed it because they didn’t act any different getting in the car and going home. They barely missed us. I can tell this family enjoyed taking care of my dogs and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
“Michele was great with our dog, Boston! She sent pictures, played/walked with him, and met his needs really well. We would definitely have her watch Boston again!”
“Beth was so good with my 11-year-old dorkie! She responded quickly to my booking request and when I took Zoey over for a pre-meetup, I could tell Zoey already liked Beth. She’s normally a pretty low energy dog, but with Beth, she looked happy and got a little spring in her step! Beth sent me videos and pictures while I was gone and I could tell Zoey was in good hands. With how happy she was, I didn’t think she was going to want to come home with me! Thank you Beth for taking such good care of my baby! I will highly recommend you to everyone looking to board their fur baby!”
“We are so grateful for Jenna watching Maya and Hubert! She took excellent care of them both and treated them with such love. Our one dog enjoyed his stay so much, I don't think he wanted to leave when we picked them up :). Jenna sent pictures and brief updates during their stay, which was so appreciated. Would highly recommend Jenna and we would definitely use her again!”
“Matthew was great, he was very accommodating. Our dog had plenty of play time and attention: she went on walks and loved having a fenced in yard to explore. Matthew communicated well with us. He provided plenty of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated this having been our first time using someone for boarding!”
“Anne was wonderful. Porter liked her right away and seemed to feel comfortable in her home. She walked him twice daily and sent photos and videos. Anne was also prompt in responding to text messages. I will use her services again!”
“Lauren & Cris were very kind and sweet. They agreed to booking, even within a short time frame. They were very welcoming and kept me informed with many pictures of coco. Coco seemed to love her time with them as she had plenty of time and fun playing outside in their fenced in backyard. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Winston always enjoys his time with Teresa. Teresa takes excellent care of him and sends lots of pictures and updates. Teresa was available on short notice to help us out during an unexpected event. So appreciated. Thank you!”

Patti was wonderful with Ghost! She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She also took the time to let Ghost meet her pets, which I really appreciated. It’s clear Ghost had a great stay and felt comfortable in her care—I think he’s already looking forward to his next visit!
Rebecca was the best sitter we have ever had. She and her family genuinely loved and cared for Baxter. She provided awesome updates on his activities and interactions. We knew Baxter was well cared for and truly enjoyed his time there. I would highly recommend booking Rebecca for your next dog boarding.
Marija is fantastic! We were a little worried leaving Bella for the first time, but Marija was so reassuring. She sent the best daily updates, and seeing Bella so happy in the videos made our trip stress-free. It’s clear Bella loved her stay. We can’t wait to use her services again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Lyon on Rover is $44.4 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 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 August 2026, there are 1,619 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across South Lyon. 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.
96% of South Lyon 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 South Lyon 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 South Lyon 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 South Lyon.
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 South Lyon 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.
