“We loved our experience with Caroline. She sends daily, sometimes more, video updates and you can see how much she cares for each dog! Our girl seemed very happy and well taken care of when we picked her up. We will definitely bring her back for any extended care! Thank you Caroline!”
“Marija and her family were wonderful! They were able to accommodate a last minute request and kept me posted with photos and videos of our fur baby having a great time with them. I highly recommend her.”
“Our Toby has boarded with Deana multiple times. We couldn’t be happier with how she lovingly cares for our senior pup and can’t recommend her enough for your furries! She clearly loves dogs, and her little dog Shaggy is very friendly and open to sharing his mom, dad, and home with visiting dogs. Our dog has become somewhat anxious in his advancing years and is on multiple oral meds. When I pick him up at the end of his stay with Deana, he seems relaxed and happy… not at all anxious, which is a very welcome surprise! I would highly recommend Deana as a trustworthy and loving carer for your dog when you have to be away.”
“Holly is an amazing woman. She welcomed Oliver into her home so warmly and lovingly. He is a little nervous around new people. She immediately made him feel comfortable. Within minutes he acted like he lived there! He was curious and very happy exploring. He was so peaceful snuggling with her and Lisa. I was confident he would be well cared for. Holly sent me regular pictures and updates which we really appreciated and enjoyed. I highly recommend her and will definitely ask her to watch him in the future.”
“Barbara and Dirk and Zoe were amazing! They welcomed Oliver into their home with love and affection. He was so comfortable and at ease with them. He settled right in and quickly became part of their household. They send me photos and updates while we were gone and I could see he was happy and relaxed with them. We highly recommend them we will definitely leave Olie with them when we need to travel in the future. They are the best!💕”
“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!”
“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.”
“Darcy and Danielle were outstanding sitters for Remy. They were very communicative and paid attention to all the details. I could really tell that Remy got so much love, and he really seemed happy when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend them and I’m looking forward to the next booking with 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.”
“Aisha was great. Very accommodating with my change in travel plans. She made the dogs super comfortable and was so kind enough to send pics of them during their stay. She’s a great communicator and responds very quickly to messages. I highly recommend her for your pet needs.”
“Shashank was great with Smokey, and his dog Chicoo (the same age as Smokey) was such a sweet and friendly companion! I received lots of pictures and updates, which made me feel very happy about choosing Shashank and Chicoo to care for Smokey while I was away.”
“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.”
“Teresa is the best!! She treated my dog as if she were her own and took such good care of her. Multiple walks per day, plenty of love, and lots of photos and updates throughout my trip! So grateful to have found her!”
“Brenda is awesome. We were hesitant to leave our Millie for so long but Brenda made us feel comfortable right away. She and her hubby took great care of her. Millie gets along well with her dog, too.”
“This an amazing family. My dog was so well cared for and loved. They sent me many pictures of what she was doing as it was so difficult to not have her with me. They deserve 10 stars!!!!!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care Alia & Ian provided for my boys, Frankie & Marco! They were incredibly reliable, and sent me regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. It's clear they're experienced and truly love dogs. My boys were happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend their services and will definitely be booking them again!”
“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!”
“Highly recommended!!! I recently boarded my dog Neo with Anthony and had an amazing experience. Neo had a great time at his home, and I could tell he was happy and well-cared for. Neo had access to a large fenced yard to run and play with his other furry friends. Anthony was incredibly reliable and kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. Overall, I highly recommend Anthony for boarding to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable place to leave their furry friend. I will definitely be using his services 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.
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - South Lyon
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Lyon on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,649 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.
