“Dena and her family took amazing care of our Lilli! Communication, flexibility and just being amazing people were 5-star!!!!! We had a very nervous out of town fur baby mama in our midst and Dena’s caring attitude even won her over!! Thank you for taking such great care of our Lilli! We will certainly be back when we bring Lilli back to Michigan to hang out with our beautiful grands!”
“Dee was amazing with Kosi! 🐾 I really appreciated all the updates and pictures while I was away, it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She was also accommodating when my travel plans changed and I needed to adjust his pickup. Kosi seemed happy and comfortable with her, and I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Ginsberg had a great time while we were gone. Teresa made her a part of the family letting her warm up at her own pace. She loved hanging out in the huge backyard with friends and lounging on the couch watching household activities and sleeping. Highly recommend Teresa. She’s sent lots of pictures and updates so I could see Ginsberg was happy and relaxed.”

“Snickers hadn’t stayed at a “stranger’s” house in years but she adapted well at Paula’s. Snickers thinks that she is too old to play but apparently she LOVED Paula’s big back yard. Snickers was in good spirits when I picked her up and I would definitely use her again.”

About: I’m a dedicated and attentive dog owner with hands-on experience caring for my own dog every day, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, and maintaining a consistent routine. Through this experience, I’ve learned how important patience, reliability, and understanding each dog’s unique personality are for providing great care. I’m comfortable with exercise needs, administering basic care, reinforcing positive behavior, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Caring for my dog has given me practical experience and a genuine passion for working with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. I’m available full-time, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week, including weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, evenings, and holidays. My open availability means I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, extended stays, or last-minute bookings. I understand how important consistency and reliability are for pets and their owners, and my schedule allows me to give each dog the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment in a safe home with a fully fenced yard, Your dog would be hanging out with me and Chewy in a large finished basement, he is free to explore and do anything he wants in the room and chose any place to sleep, I have a huge couch that Chewy sleeps on or he will have a dog bed with covers, his choice! Fenced yard and supervised outdoor play and exercise. I let the dogs use the bathroom in the backyard. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to create a calm, pet-friendly space where dogs feel comfortable and protected. My small dog is friendly and helps create a welcoming atmosphere, while I always prioritize careful introductions and close supervision to ensure every pet feels safe. I’m committed to maintaining a clean, secure environment where pet parents can feel confident their dog is being cared for like family!

Dena and her family gave my dog Arlo amazing care !! He was treated like part of the family and loved up. I would highly recommend them if you want to have a very safe and loving home for your fur family member while your away. Thank you so very much for caring for Arlo 🩷🩷🩷
Grace took good care of my dog who is a real mommies boy. I always look for a sitter who provides a safe and welcoming environment. Finn had fun running around her large enclosed yard and enjoyed the company of her own dog Woody. We will definitely book future stays.
Janine was wonderful with Dixie and made him feel very comfortable. She kept me updated regularly with pictures and videos throughout his stay, and was incredible accommodating with our last minute schedule changes. Her kids were also so sweet and loved Dixie. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thank you.
Chelsea was great with my boy. He is a little quirky so she did a meet and greet beforehand and put my mind at ease that he would be fine. He was well taken care of and I saw photos and got updates every day. Ty Chelsea for giving us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation with no worries for him!
I am so thankful for the care that Beth provided for my baby boy, Maxwell. She went above and beyond in caring for him. She spoiled him rotten! I'm sure he misses her and her home. She took him for multiple daily walks and that's not an easy task! He loves to sniff everything. She cared for him like he was hers. I definitely recommend Beth for your fur baby!
Rodney took great care of Ozzy over the 4th of July weekend! Ozzy came home completely tuckered out after having a great time playing with another dog Rodney was watching. It’s clear that Rodney genuinely cares about Ozzy, and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in his care. I’d definitely book with Rodney again!
Allison took wonderful care of Ollie. We had him at Allsion’s place for six days and she send us photos, videos and update. She was kind enough to give some of her dogs toys and treats to Ollie. From the photos she shared, we could feel he was happy and comfortable. The most special things Allison did for us was to have his paw painted (pet friendly paint) and framed. This was truly a sweet gesture and the perfect gift for his one year birthday. Allison was also truly professional during the whole boarding process. We will definitely recommend Allison as a star sitter.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Westland is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $59 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 Westland 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 Westland 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 Westland.
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 Westland. 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 Westland 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.
