“Millie had a great time with Marija! I could tell she was fed, happy, loved, and played with. I love that she had a huge fenced yard! We got regular updates. We will definitely use Marija again!”
“JoAnn took excellent care of our Yorkie Poodle. There was frequent feedback about his stay and how he was doing including pictures and videos every few hours which made us not worry about him while we were on vacation. He got more care than at home when we are normally busy with our work. He looked comfortable in JoAnn's house and looked happy to hang out with other dogs. We would definitely book again when needed in future.”
“Holly & her family are a welcoming home for any pet but for my finicky boy he sure loves it there. We can rest easy while he is there under her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Holly. She is so kind and caring. Thank you again for your time and patience with our little troublemaker.”
“My 2 year old cavapoo loved her first time at Laura’s! She came home happy & tired after playing with her new dog friends. Laura graciously accommodated a quick meet & greet before our first boarding visit so that my dog could sniff around. She provided daily updates & pictures of my puppers while we were away. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Deana and her husband were great with my dog! Amazing house with great outdoor areas and their little dog is wonderful. Deana was also very flexible and accommodating for scheduling. True dog lovers - Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I left my dog Koda with Andrew for a week and had zero worries. I was able to enjoy my vacation and not stress about my pet. He sent lots of pictures and Koda definitely was enjoying himself in the backyard and on walks. He was definitely a happy boy!!!”
“Debbie did a great job with our Sheltie Liam. They have a clean, comfortable home with a nice fenced in backyard. Their two Scotties are very friendly towards other dogs. Highly recommended.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Kelly and Brandon are fantastic sitters - I couldn’t ask for them to do anything differently. My pup was safe, well cared for, and tired out by all the fun she was having.”
“Our dog had to get stitches on her paw just a week before her stay with Laura and Manuel, so I let them know about the situation and they were totally on board with following whatever was needed to help her heal. She had a great time as always with the dogs that were there and they did a great job caring for her with her special instructions. I’m so glad we were able to still go on our trip and know she’d be well cared for!”
“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”
“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!”
“My dog seemed to have a great time staying with Mina. She likes to be out in the sun and got to spend a lot of time in the fenced backyard. Mina sent many pics and video so I never had to worry about what my dog was up to. Very pleased and would not hesitate to use her as a sitter again.”
“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.”
“Anne was a God send! We have two dogs that both had meet and greets with her before our weekend away. Both dogs loved Anne, but we had to make some plan adjustments when one of our dogs developed a rather bad eye infection. Anne was super flexible with our plans and schedule and helped watch one of our pups, Sakari, for the weekend. She provided ample updates throughout each day, accompanied by lots of pictures and videos!! We knew our girl was in terrific hands and never had to worry while we were apart. Sakari is a bit of an anxious dog, especially with new people and settings, but she was instantly comfortable around Anne. She was taken on plenty of long walks and got all the cuddles her little heart desired while we were away. We cannot recommend Anne enough!!! We will most definitely be asking her to sit for our dogs again in the future!”

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in South Lyon can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
