“Samantha was great! It can be a little nerve-wracking when you need to find a new pet sitter but we could tell Roxy was in good hands with her. Roxy seemed comfortable and happy and Samantha kept us updated and informed during her stay. We would be happy to use Samantha for pet sitting again when the need arises.”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic! Hazel loved her time there. She was happy and tired (in a great way) when we picked her up. Carolina had excellent communication and took Hazel for a nice walk in the neighborhood, her favorite thing to do. Am definitely using Carolina again!”
“This was the first time my puppy Mocha stayed with Vinata . I was so anxious but she and her family looked after our fur baby so well. We used to get daily pictures and videos which showed that Mocha was loved and taken care of well. Thank you so much for your excellent service.”
“Eunju spoiled our labrador completely! She took her to various parks for long walks and puppy adventures. Eunju makes it easy to travel with peace of mind, sending daily updates & taking care of our dog so lovingly.”
“We had great experience with Kadi. She is very loving and caring person. Our dog Milo enjoyed at her place and was very happy as he got friends there to play with ( Kadi’s 2 dogs) . She kept sending updates and pics. She followed all the instructions perfectly. We love her.”
“Steven is great with Prince. Always welcoming and hospitable even when last minute care is needed. Definitely recommend as we’ll continue utilizing his service for our boarding needs.”
“Danielle and her family were so great with my high energy, high anxiety border collie. She was super communicative in advance and was flexible with my crazy travel hours. When we got to their house to drop Callie off, she immediately took off into their huge, fenced in backyard, and I knew she’d have a great time there. Not only did Danielle and her family play with Callie, but even the neighborhood kiddos came to throw frisbees for her. I know she’d love to go back, and I’m happy to recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a fun time for their pup!”
“Lindsay was GREAT! She sent multiple pictures and kept me informed of how my pup was doing during the entire duration of her stay. You can tell she has a true love for dogs and takes her job as a sitter very seriously!”
“Watney loves visiting Anna and her dog Ruby! He always has a buddy with him throughout the day and Anna keeps an eye on him too. Ruby is kind enough to share her lounging bed and blankets. Couldn’t ask for a better stay!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter in Whitley! Our dog, Pepper, had the best time and was so well cared for. The communication was fantastic, and we loved knowing she got to play with Ollie the whole time—they became the best of friends! We’ll absolutely have Pepper stay again. Highly recommend!”
“Alison and Parmer cared for my scruffy pups for the longest period of time I’ve ever been away from them. They are so well cared-for every time they stay with Alison and Parmer that they don’t even miss me ! LOL THANK YOU for making all my travel worry free.”
“Bailey loved his stay with Valentina. He has a new friend, her dog Oliver. She is very attentive with daily walks and play at the dog park. Appreciated the pics and communication throughout his stay. I highly recommend Valentina as a awesome Dogsitter!”
“Where do I begin? Such a wonderful stay in Cynthia’s home. Our Bella lived at Cynthia’s for a week and it could not have gone better. Bella was relaxed, she made herself right at home and thoroughly enjoyed her visit. We are blessed to have Cynthia. She is so loving and caring with our dog. We trust her completely and never worry about how Bella is doing. Cynthia is very quick to reply to any requests. She gives daily updates with tons of photos. She has excellent communication skills. Bella is spoiled and loved in Cynthia’s home, just like she is in our home. Cynthia goes above and beyond as a caregiver. We could not be more pleased. Look no further. You will not find another sitter this wonderful.”
“Chris was great! On time, friendly, and Bertie was happy as a clam when I got home. Event with a short notice, communication was clear and I was able to leave my home without worry. Thanks Chris!”
“Thank you Jungmin, my family had a truly comfortable trip with your support. You kept us updated with photos from time to time, so we were able to travel without any worries. And it seems like Seoul also enjoyed staying with your dog, Taco. Thank you again!”
“Shane took very good care of my dog over the weekend. She sent tons of pictures. Even though my dog didn’t get along with her dog initially, she did everything she can to keep both of them happy and busy. Will definitely come back and recommend.”
“Briana is definitely comfortable taking care of dogs. This was the first time ever to leave my puppy with a "stranger" and other dogs. My energetic puppy instantly warmed up to Briana's small dog and Briana was so calm and helped my puppy quickly become comfortable with her bigger dog. My puppy had SO MUCH FUN at Briana's with her fun dogs and huge backyard (an Australian Shepherd's dream yard). I was and would be totally comfortable leaving my baby at her home!”

Kate was great with Apple! She communicated really well throughout the stay and sent pictures, which I really appreciated. Apple was so tired when I picked her up, she must have spent the whole time playing with Kate’s dogs! 😂 It’s clear she had a great time, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Kate and am already planning to book with her again soon!
We had a wonderful experience with Vinata boarding our dog, Vaayu! She was incredibly kind, caring, and attentive, making sure Vaayu felt comfortable and right at home. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands while we were away. We truly appreciate the love and care she provided throughout his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Vinata with Vaayu again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
I cannot recommend Irv highly enough! From the very beginning, his organized nature and flexibility made the entire booking and drop-off process a breeze. He made sure to keep us fully updated before the stay even began, which gave us so much peace of mind right out of the gate. During the stay, Irv’s attention to detail truly shined. He sent consistent, thorough updates and photos, showing exactly how well he was taking care of Daisy. It was clear that she was in fantastic hands, getting plenty of love, and having a great time. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative sitter, Irv is your guy. We would absolutely book with him again!
She was a great sitter! She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs, and when she had questions or concerns, she didn’t hesitate to reach out. It was clear she genuinely cared about my dog and made sure she was well taken care of. I highly recommend her!
June did an amazing job taking care of our Indica, the updates and photos were not just abundant but timely. June is affable, friendly and respectful, I cannot say enough good things about her as a care taker, will definitely have her take care of our Indica at anytime. Thanks for everything June.
Dominic gave excellent care to our 15 year old senior dog Kimble. We were on vacation for 3 weeks and during this time, Dominic gave Kimble his daily meds and walks. We were updated with photos of Kimble and his communication with us was timely. Would not hesitate to recommend Dominic for your pet sitting needs. I look forward to booking with Dominic again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Troy is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $58 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.

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.
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 Troy 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 Troy 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 Troy.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Troy. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Troy 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
