“Rebecca and her husband took phenomenal care of my Millie, and she got along well with their children. It was evident she received lots of loving care and attention. On top of that, I received photos and videos. I would definitely board her at their home again. In addition, I feel comfortable recommending them to others. Millie's tail was wagging when I arrived to pick up and she was clearly very happy. In fact, she made a new best friend, Dixie. That's a big deal because she's a rescue dog and can often be shy around other dogs. If you're looking for quality boarding for your pet, look no further than Rebecca's. Thank you, Rebecca and Jim. Jeanette & Millie”

“Tara is a fantastic Dog Sitter. It’s the first time my dog is away from here for a long time and she was very happy being at Tara‘s house. I enjoyed getting the photos. She also adjusted to my change in the days that I scheduled to be with her, which is very helpful for me during this time of my surgery”

“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”

“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.”

“A C was able to accommodate my last minute request to watch Obie and they sent pictures and took really good care of him while we were away. Will definitely book again with them!”

About: Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, your dog (s) will receive the same level of care I give my own pets—fresh food and water, regular meals, exercise, playtime, affection, and close attention to their individual needs. Further, I have experience with administering medicine such as eye drops, ingestible liquids/pills, and shots. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you're away, giving you peace of mind that they're in capable hands. I’ve been surrounded by furry friends my entire life! When I was a kid, my family had two dogs along with other animals, providing me with a foundation for loving and caring for pets. Since then, family and friends have trusted me to provide pet care services including pet sitting- feeding, play, and providing overnight company. I have 24 years of experience with small and medium sized dogs. Care for dogs is my only profession, allowing me to give your dog my full attention. My home is safe, welcoming, and open, and my friendly dog loves having dog visitors to play with. Your dog will be free to roam my home- welcome on the furniture- and have plenty of space to run in my large fenced in yard. Additionally, I am located near the heart of Dowtown Royal Oak for dogs who are excited by people and other dogs, as well as several parks with open spaces within walking distance. I currently have a four dog limit for boarding and pet sitting. I’m home full time, so I’m able to provide pets care with my full attention. Whether morning, afternoon, or night I’m available round the clock to fit you and your pets schedule and needs. I’m happy to provide care in your home or mine! My home is safe, welcoming, and cat-friendly, and my friendly dog loves having canine visitors to play with. I have a large fenced in yard dogs both small and big can enjoy and many local parks within walking distance!
“Veronica was simply amazing! From start to finish; Excellent communication, very attentive and transparent with expectations. Home very neat and clean and kept us updated daily with adorable pics and videos of T3ddy (Teddy) having a great time. I felt our pup was in a safe, warm, clean loving environment. Veronica is highly recommended that your fur baby will be respected and cared for.”

“We recently moved and were looking for a new dog sitter. We are so happy we found Michelle! Our dog Niko made fast friends with her and felt right at home. She even repaired one of his favorite toys when it ripped. We look forward to continuing to work with Michelle!”

“Cody (and Sersi) was amazing for our boys. Being a group of three Aussies made it that much better because everyone got along great and we got great pictures of our boys! Would absolutely bring our dogs to Cody again!”

About: I have taken care of my dog since I was 10. Whenever I visit friends and family, I always show the dogs all the love, because they deserve it 🥰. I can handle anything from big dogs as well as the little ones with small dog syndrome! Im currently in medical school so I can spend plenty of time and walk between study session. My family is also often home to provide extra love and care for your pet! I always respect and follow any directions from the dogs’s owner. The well-being of all animals, including dogs of course, is very important to me.
“What a great visit. Julie was very attentive to all Odin’s needs and gave him a lot of much needed snuggles. Her 2 greyhounds were great play pals and it seemed like he had a lot of fun with them. Highly recommend!”

“This was our first time using Rover, and Kelly was happy to meet with me and my dog before we booked. She is so warm and friendly, and her dog Suzie is a such a sweetheart. All on my part, but I did not realize my young dog would have separation anxiety with a very upset stomach, and Kelly handled things like a pro. I called my vet after our stay to see what calming options I could use in the future, and she told me Kelly was an excellent Rover host if she was able to get my dog's stomach back to normal. Kelly went above and beyond, feeding my dog a bland diet and trying home remedies we discussed over the phone to get her back to normal. She sent photos and communicated with me daily. I would absolutely recommend her to others!”

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 Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,713 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Southfield. About 93% of Southfield 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.

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.
