“Caroline is the BEST petsitting experience I have ever had. She sent me multiple photos and videos per day and made me feel reassured as I was on my trip. She loved on my dog just as much as I do (maybe more!! Lol). Very responsive, communicative - I highly, highly recommend using Caroline for your petsitting needs! Will happily use Caroline again to watch Winnie in the future. :)”
“Holly was an absolute gem when watching our fur baby over the weekend! She made us feel comfortable and was very welcoming when we arrived! We could tell from the moment we met her that she loves and cherishes animals and our dog would be in great hands! Our puppers is our baby, so we are very picky when it comes to who will watch him when we need to travel. Holly exceeded any and all expectations and took amazing care of our fur baby! Thank you Holly for watching Benny and for treating him as one of your own, we can’t thank you enough!!”
“Debbie watched our 14 year old golden retriever Maggie for 11 days. She was great with updated photos of Maggie. Maggie was well cared for and we were very happy with Debbie.”
“Our dog had a wonderful visit with Barbara and Dirk. They have a great setup for dogs, are friendly, and are good communicators. They even put up with us being later than expected on pickup. We’ll definitely use them again.”
“Marija was wonderful with Angel! He can be timid around other dogs, but she kept a close eye on him until he was comfortable playing with the other pups. Her large fenced yard is a dog’s paradise. When my vacation got unexpectedly extended, Marija reassured me that Angel was safe and that she would have no problem keeping him until I was able to return. Overall, an excellent experience!”
“Joann is obviously a very experienced dog sitter and dog lover! Leaving your dog is so much easier when you feel confident he is in good care. She also sent lots of pictures which is always appreciated.”
“Andrew was a great choice to care for Toby. We went on a two-week international adventure, where cell reception would be spotty. It was good to know that Toby would be with very responsible sitters, given that we could not be in touch all the time. Thank you for peace of mind.”
“Karen was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter for our little Harley. Karen sent daily photos and was a great communicator. We know our little puppy enjoyed her time with Karen. We plan on using Karen in the future to watch our fur baby.”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter on Rover, and Christina made the experience wonderful! She was quick and easy to book on semi-short notice. Her communication was great, and she kept us updated throughout the week with pictures of our pup. We will definitely plan to use Christina for all our future pet sitting needs!”
“Amazing, super sweet and I appreciated how she sent alot of pics and vids of my pup with updates of what they were doing!!🫶🏾 would definitely recommend and will be a returning customer”
“Katie and Kristen were great! They sent photos of my dog Indi regularly and were quick to respond to any messages. Indi seemed really comfortable when I picked him up, and it looked like their dog Jasper and Indi got along well! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.”
“Kelly and Brandon were kind and communicative in helping us to set up our first dog sitting experience for our puppies. They kept us updated w photos all weekend and the pups seemed to have a great time!”
“Jenna did a wonderful job taking care of my Standard Poodle. After our meet and greet where I met Jenna, her husband and 2 dogs I felt they were an attentive and dog loving and dog centered family. I really appreciated their fenced yard and their flexibility and understanding that my dog was not perfectly trained, she still jumps and does not go for walks calmly. It was clear that Jenna's family was going to provide the same loving attention and lots of activity (playing with their dogs) my dog receives at home. Jenna was responsive when we communicated, she would answer within a few minutes. She sent pictures and updates. I could not have asked for a better sitter for my dog and I will definitely use them again in the future. My dog was happy and well cared for by Jenna!”
“My dog Sky did amazing at Anne's relaxing home. Anne provided pictures and updates often. Sky was very comfortable in the care of Anne. I would not hesitate to use Anne again.”
“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!”
“Scarlett is always well cared for by Michele. She gave Scarlett her meds, took her on walks, played with her, prepared her food and fed her, sent me photos and gave her plenty of love and affection. Michele is number 1 in my book!”
“Deana took amazing care of my dog, she and her husband are very friendly, comfortable with dogs, flexible with scheduling and responsive to communication. Their dog Shaggy is very sweet and friendly as well!”
“Brenda and her husband were the sweetest people that I’ve had watch over my dog due to my trip getting canceled. She kept my dog and took care of her until I had to get back safely. I highly recommend her. She was extremely kind and caring and sent me a lot of pictures and videos and kept me updated.”

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 $46.62 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 1,614 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.
95% 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.
