“Allesha took great care of my dog. Her house and yard are lovely and she sent me many updates and took care to get my finnicky dog to eat. Allesha's dogs are very friendly and playful, but she is perceptive of body language and sets up gates in the house if one dog needs a break. She was also flexible with our vacation plans when they changed. I recommend her!”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“I was nervous to leave my puppy with someone but Rachel did a great job. I got updates and videos. My little Max just loves her. I knew when she picked him up and he didn’t stop wagging his tail! Will definitely use her again!”
“To echo the others sentiments, I can't say enough good things about Karen! We are so luck to have found her. She is caring, detail-oriented and texted us pictures of our dogs. We have never left them with anyone before, but will be returning customers to Karen as long as she'll have us! She is an amazing pet sitter.”
“Thanks so much again Rahied! I love how much Jack loves staying with you! Thank you for being so awesome and sending so many pictures and video! It's so wonderful to get pictures of him when we're travelling!! You're the best!”
“Sam was awesome! I would highly recommend her to anyone! I have difficulties leaving my dog with almost anyone, even my family! Sam kept in touch with pictures daily and provided a friendly message about the day they had! Thanks again, Sam!!!”
“Kadi was so sweet and attentive. You can tell there’s a lot of love in their home for their dogs and leaving Oliver felt easy. She kept me up to speed with how the stay was going. Easy to communicate with and was flexible. Oliver had so much fun and was exhausted after his stay.”
“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!!!”
“This was our first time using a Rover sitter and we feel so lucky that we found Amanda! During our meet-and-greet, Amanda and her husband, Robert, asked great questions to make sure they knew what type of care our reactive dog needed. They truly took care of our dog, Dilla, like he was their own. ❤️ He spent his days playing with the basket full of toys waiting by for him by the front door and evenings curled up on the couch between Amanda and Robert. We received tons of pictures while we were away which made us feel at ease knowing Dilla was well taken care of, happy, safe, and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They will 100% be our first choice for dog sitting services in the future and we know Dilla will be happy to spend time with them again!”
“Christopher and Cassandra took such great care of our pup Raven! They were great at communicating and sent us photos and videos of her playing and having a great time.”
“Our dog Bear stayed with Dena and her family for the third time, and he had a great time! We will continue to be repeat customers because they are so kind and caring towards our dog. It is helpful to know that while you are gone, your pet is loved and cared for.”
“My experience was awesome. This was my first time using Rover and Sogol v made this the best experience ever. She was friendly, showed my pup and myself love. I felt so comfortable because she went above and beyond with her selfless personality. She sent pictures and communicated with me daily. I would recommend her to anyone looking to use this service. You can feel the love she has for animals and people. I can't thank her enough and will use her again.”
“Grace did a wonderful job of taking care of my Pug named Pugsley. She took her out for regular walks, took care of Pugsley special needs, and sent me numerous updates and pictures to assure me that Pugsley is doing just fine. Thank you Grace and will definitely use you next time. I would recommend Grace to whoever needs a sitter at any time. Thanks again Grace. Mike.”
“Maritza & Daniel did a wonderful job taking care of our Border Collie, Kaylee, while we were out of town for a few days. The updates and pictures they sent kept us informed as to how Kaylee was settling in and showed how happy she was to become a regular part of their day!”
“Tiffany was my main point of contact and she was so sweet and caring with my senior (14yo) husky mix Molly. I received updates each day morning, and night, and she took my Moll Doll on tons of walks. Molly got to sleep on furniture and I can tell she had the time of her life in the new comfy environment. It was such a relief knowing that she was so well loved while I was away that now I feel like I need to take her back for visits to her new favorite home away from home.”
“Blue had a great stay at Vicki and William’s house! They are both so kind and I felt no worries at all when leaving him in their care. The amount of communication, updates, and photos are amazing and are so helpful when I miss my pup. Their dog Bentley is also very sweet so I’m glad Blue has a friend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southfield
Heidi was my first sitter using Rover and made it a super easy and reassuring experience for both me and Reese! She was so great at sending photos, letting me know how she was doing with fun updates, and made sure that Reese was enjoying herself all weekend. Winston is also a great dog-host and so sweet to help host!
Rusty had a great time with Sarah. We loved getting messages with videos and pictures of him while we were away. He appeared to be having a great time in all of them. It was reassuring to see that he was being well taken care of (and spoiled 🙂 as much or more than we do). He's been asleep at my side since he came home. Will definitely look into booking with Sarah again when we need someone to watch Rusty.
Jennifer was great with Basil. She sent updates and Basil always looked like he was having a good time and getting lots of attention. It was really hard to leave our pup and Jennifer made us feel a lot better, knowing she was being so caring with him. I would recommend Jennifer and use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Southfield on Rover is $29.74 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,676 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Southfield. 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.
95% of Southfield 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 Southfield 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 Southfield 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 Southfield.
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 Southfield 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.
