“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!”
“Caroline took such great care of my dogs. I like the fact that they were able to socialize with other dogs that matched their energy levels (chill) and temperament. I also very much appreciated that she would send videos throughout the day, and respond to my requests. You can tell she really loves dogs and that dog really love her back!”
“Teresa was amazing! She took great care of my little guy! I felt very comfortable and you can tell she loves the animals she sits for and treats them like her own pups! She sent me a bunch of pics while I was away which reassured me he was well taken care for! Would 100% book again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Kristi and her family took amazing care of our pup while we were out of town. They were very accommodating and communicative. We received updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well exercised, and clearly well loved. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! We will definitely be using them again.”
“Michele took care of our Scarlett as if she were her own. She sent updates and photos. Scarlett takes anti-anxiety meds and has stomach issues. Michele gave Scarlett her meds twice a day and even cooked chicken and tilapia to entice Scarlett to eat. She walked Scarlett and brushed her. We already have Michele booked for our next trip!”
“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.”

“Karen was a wonderful boarder for our 3 year old, high energy “puppy”! We got daily pictures and updates. Her home is clean and dog friendly! Henry had a wonderful time! She even got him to eat during the week which usually doesn’t happen in our absence. We appreciate her care so we could visit family! THANK YOU!”
“Deanna and her husband did an excellent job taking care of our dog Bernie during his week long stay with them. He is an older dog with mobility and other health challenges. They went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for and felt secure. I highly recommend them!!”
“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.”
“Debbie and her husband took great care of Phoebe and she enjoyed playing with their dogs! I got daily picture updates which made it easier being away from her for a week knowing she was having fun and being taken care of so well. Thank you!!”

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!”

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.

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.
