“This is the 5th time Rahied watched Cobra for at least a week each time and every time he goes above and beyond! I absolutely love his family as well! They treats him like he's their pet! I hope they continue to be available for him because I can't imagine trying to find anyone better! 🥰🤗”
“We were a little nervous using a sitter we didn’t know for the first time, but Kadi put us completely at ease. From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Both of our pups instantly took to her, and throughout our time away, she sent regular updates, pictures, and lots of sweet moments that showed just how happy and comfortable they were. It truly felt like they were on their own little vacation! When we picked them up, they were giving her kisses goodbye, which says everything. We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Kadi gave our dogs, and we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Steven looked after Dipstick with love and affection. From the videos, I could see that my dog enjoyed having lots of butts to sniff. 😂 I definitely will be using Steven’s services again.”
“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.”
“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”
“Cody was so great with our golden retriever, Snoop! His dog seemed to get along well with Snoop and it was great to know he was in a good environment being well taken care of!”
“I cannot recommend Nicole enough! ❤️ She watched my two dogs, Luna and Leo, for a week and a half while I was having construction done on my house, and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She treated my dogs like they were her own and kept me updated throughout their entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative! Leaving your dogs for that long can be stressful, but knowing they were with Nicole made it so much easier. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were safe, loved, and being very well taken care of. I would 100% trust her with my pups again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their pets! 🐾❤️”
“My medium labradoodle seemed to be very happy staying with George and I'll definitely book with him again in the future. He was great at sending pictures and videos to keep my mind at ease. He went above and beyond to make sure Butters was able to eat in peace away from the other dogs. Leaving him at a person's house for the first time is really stressful so I thank you George for making it as easy as possible for me and taking great care of Butters.”
“Emily, Jason & Larry were excellent hosts!! Upon my request for a sitter, they suggested a meet & greet between our dogs. They were welcoming and caring about insuring the dogs were compatible. We agreed on letting Nanook stay. They were very communicative about what our dog was up to, how he was getting along with Larry and they sent photos too. After the stay we were surprised to have received a thank you note and a personalized treat in our bag. That was such a sweet touch! We would definitely book with Emily & Jason again! Nanook enjoyed his stay with them and Larry!”
“Susan was very sweet and caring. Our dog, Marty had a great stay with her. She cared for him as if he was part of their family. She was a great communicator, and sent regular status and photo updates. She was very accommodating and did everything she could to help Marty feel more at home. We will definitely be rebooking next time we head out of town.”
“I had a wonderful experience with Lavina & Herbert Sr (Starr Pet Sitting LLC). This being my 1st time using Rover, I was definitely nervous with leaving my new fur baby (3 months old) "Lola Bell" with anyone but family. The care Lola Bell received was exceptional. Lavina was very welcoming when I dropped Lola Bell off. I had to use Lavina's boarding service due to me working 12 hr midnight shifts. I was provided with updates that seem personalized just for my baby that yielded positive results. Their company displayed a high level of professionalism and made me feel extremely comfortable while my Lola Bell was in their care. I highly endorse Lavina & Herbert Sr for her excellent service and expertise.”
“Krystle was warm and welcoming during our Meet & Greet, and she took good care of Oakley during her overnight stay. Unfortunately, she let me know the following morning that she was unable to continue caring for Oakley for the remainder of the stay. She contacted me promptly, and we were able to make alternate arrangements for the rest of Oakley’s care.”
“rachel is very attentive to not only my needs but my dog’s as well. she did a phenomenal job keeping me updated with videos and pictures during my dog’s boarding with her. rachel enjoys caring for dogs and it is evident with her work with them. i will use her services again and will also recommend her to my friends.”
“We couldn’t thank Jess enough for watching over Teddy and Bear!!! She was great and very informative. She kept us updated and sent us photos of them while we were away which was very comforting. We will definitely ask for her services in the future!”
“Our dog ran to Mariana’s door when we arrived for drop off. I knew he was happy to stay with her. He was all smiles and tail wags when we picked him up. Thanks for loving our Alan while we were away.”
“catherine is amazing! she is so sweet, super attentive, sends frequent updates and is quick to respond. my dog dobby absolutely loves her. 10/10 would recommend. will definitely be booking with catherine again!”

Rahied was PHENOMENAL! He is incredibly friendly and welcoming. He provided lots of updates and fun pictures which put my mind at ease and I could tell that both him and my dog, Winter, were having a great time with each other. I look forward to booking with him again soon, his service was excellent in every way. Thank you again Rahied!! 😊
Our Doodle boys had the perfect stay with Alexandra, Georgi and their little girl. We knew they would be in the best of hands and we could tell they had a great time staying with this family. We recieved very quick responses and the cutest video updates throughout. We will definitely be back!
"I am so glad I found her to watch Simba! She provided amazing in-home care, took him out for great walks, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and professional. I felt so relieved knowing Simba was safe and happy in his own home. I will definitely be booking her again!"
I highly recommend Rachael for dog sitting. She took the best care of Gatsby - she sent pictures daily and took him for lots of walks.Now that he is home, I can tell that he misses hanging out with her goldendoodle, Rosie. They were very cute together. Thanks, Rachael!
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 of Dog Boarding in Southfield is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 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 1,653 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 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 Southfield 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 Southfield 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 Southfield.
<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 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 , 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.
