“We just picked up our dog from his second visit with Caroline. As soon as I pulled up to her house to drop him off, he was tugging at his leash to go inside. He has so much fun there and Caroline offers so much love, attention and care for all the dogs she watches. She sends lots of pictures/videos and makes us feel so safe when we have to be away from our dog. Will definitely book again!”
“JoAnn was great! She took care of our Frenchie Winnie for a week and treated her like she was her own. She sent pictures and videos everyday. Winnie had plenty of playtime and walks. I would 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!”
“Jenna and family were perfect for our Aussilier Charli. We received pictures and updates throughout her 5 day stay. Our Charli came home happy, exhausted and a little more spoiled than she already is! 😊. We definitely recommend Jenna and will use her services again for our next travel.”
“There is a reason why Catherine is a Star Sitter on Rover, and we experienced that amply while boarding our 5-year-old Husky and 16-year-old senior Bichon with her for three nights. Both our dogs require medicines and special care, and with Catherine, they got it reliably and wholeheartedly. She took the time to understand our care instructions and went above and beyond our expectations. She asked questions, kept us closely posted, and was supported strongly by her husband and family, all avid dog lovers who provided a secure and loving environment for our pets. When we picked up our dogs, they seemed relaxed and happy. We'd rate Catherine higher than five stars if we could!”
“Teresa is the BEST dogsitter I have ever had. My dog has never seemed happier with a dogsitter than she does with Teresa. She is attentive, has plenty of toys to spoil your pup, and is very timely in her communications. 100% recommend for any owner that wants to give their pup a little vacation when they are away.”
“Lauren and Cris took excellent care of Bug. They sent regular updates, lots of cute pictures, and even sent him home with a treat and a new toy. I'd definitely recommend them!”
“Our lab husky was with Holland for almost 3 weeks while we were on an international trip. She was great with communication. Our dog was safe and happy when we got him back :)”
“YiTing is a wonderful care sitter! She kept me updated every day and always let me know if she had any concerns about my little Shih Tzu, such as when she wasn’t eating well. She sent me pictures regularly and even discovered what toys she liked to play with—without me having to say anything! This was my first time leaving my dog with her, and I felt very reassured. I will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
“Laura let me book last minute and has been so flexible with my unpredictable work schedule — I truly appreciate her! She does a great job making sure your dog feels comfortable and at home, and she reassures me with updates throughout the day, which means a lot. I honestly think my dog gets triple the attention and exercise when she’s boarded with Laura. Jersey always comes home super tired and content! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
“Sarah and her family were great! Treated our high energy Pembroke Corgi with lots of love and caring. She paired him up with just the right 4 legged friend and from what I understand they played nonstop. He came home well fed, exercised, and happy. She accepted us on short notice and gave daily status updates with pictures and/or videos. Nice touch! We would definitely use her again.”
“Absolutely incredible!!! Took such good care of our pup while we were away. Kept us updated on how he was doing with lots of pictures. Was such a great experience and made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We will definitely be using them again to watch Melo!”
“Our puppy Eleanor had a great time with Kayden! It's clear that Kayden loves and understands dogs. Lastly, Kayden was also extremely helpful and understanding, as we were rather forgetful with some items.”
“Dolly absolutely loved her stay with Katie and Travis! Our girl warmed up to them right away and I appreciate all the text updates I was being sent to ease my mind. Would absolutely love to use their services again in the future. Thanks for taking such good care of our baby.”
“Sarge had a great time staying with Amanda, and thoroughly enjoyed playing with the other dogs. He came home happy and healthy. We received regular picture and video updates, which everyone enjoys and is greatly appreciated. Would definitely consider again for future needs. Thank you!”
“Linda did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Theo. She took him for walks daily & sent lots of photos & updates. It’s always hard to leave him but she made it much easier for us. I would highly recommend her!”
“Here’s a polished, upbeat review you can use: Daniel was fantastic with our little dog, Chewie! From the moment we met him, we felt confident that Chewie would be in great hands. We really appreciated that he only cares for one guest dog at a time, in addition to his own two small dogs. It created a calm, comfortable environment and gave Chewie plenty of individual attention. Daniel kept us updated throughout Chewie’s stay with frequent photos and excellent communication, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Chewie was happy, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Daniel again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - South Lyon
Kristi & Jason were wonderful! They were so accommodating to allow a meet and greet prior to booking to ease or worried minds as we were new to Rover. While sitting they provided updates, photos and made sure to check in on some health concerns we were watching. They are clearly dog people & our dog came home so happy and smelling great. We would definitely rebook 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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in South Lyon is $48 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 1,598 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 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
