“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!”
“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.”
“Ariana is the only person outside of my own mom who I can leave my Viva with and drive away without the slightest worry- knowing that she will be happy, loved, and so well taken care of. This was our second stay with Ariana and her sweet pup Yogi and I always love getting picture updates throughout the day of lots of play time and cuddles. Viva had some tummy problems during the stay and Ariana went above and beyond to take phenomenal care of her and calm my anxiety while I was across the country. We are so lucky to know her!”
“Tanios was a fantastic sitter for Sophie! She took to him right away, and it was obvious they had a great time together. He was friendly, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was wonderful knowing Sophie was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention. We’d absolutely book with Tanios again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“Would not trust anyone else with our 100 pound lab. 7 days away and pictures and updates daily. Made our vacation pet worry free. Thank you for taking care of our girl!”
“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!!”
“Super kind and communicated with an update once a day. Definitely recommend to anyone that needs help with their four-legged family member. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again for future dog-sitter needs.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Anjana! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay. We truly appreciated her kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
“We absolutely loved the care and attention that Laura gave to our dog! She took her first walks, gave her baths, sent photos and updates! We really appreciate her and will gladly have her pet sit for us again!!”
“Lynn was really helpful and patient with our 5 months old puppy. She sent us detailed updates and pictures during the stay! It helped to make me feel relieved as it was my puppy’s first overnight stay. She was flexible with pick up and drop off time. Will definitely ask her to help out again!”
“Michael did a great job looking after our German shepherd, Kainoa. She enjoyed going on walks with him and playing fetch in his fenced backyard! Michael was very attentive to our instructions regarding Kai's care. Will definitely book with him again!”
“Zachary was great for the whole experience! It was the first time boarding our new dog, and Zachary came out to meet us and Pepper, answered questions we had, and Pepper seems like he had a great time! Zachary sent pics during our trip, and was fast and easy to communicate with, both leading up to the boarding dates and while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer and her husband did an amazing job taking care of our pup while we were on a two-week vacation. Jen would send me pics every day so I could see all the fun he was having! He really was on a wonderful vacation of his own! I highly recommend Jennifer!!”
“Teresa and her family were great! Baguette hadn’t done well at regular doggy daycare so we tried Rover for the first time. They made Baguette feel right at home and helped her adjust. I greatly appreciated Teresa’s communicativeness and kindness. Thank you!”
“Rachel and Michael were awesome!!!! I have never used Rover and urgently needed to when I was at a work conference. Rachel responded that same evening for an early drop off the next day. She sent me regular updates and pictures of Buster for the next 2 days and took such great care of my Senior Shih Tzu!!! I look forward to using her again, and I am so grateful!!!”

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!

There are 1,655 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in South Lyon. About 93% of South Lyon sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
