“my dogs must have enjoyed it because they didn’t act any different getting in the car and going home. They barely missed us. I can tell this family enjoyed taking care of my dogs and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing they were in good hands.”
“Michele was great with our dog, Boston! She sent pictures, played/walked with him, and met his needs really well. We would definitely have her watch Boston again!”
“Brenda is awesome. We were hesitant to leave our Millie for so long but Brenda made us feel comfortable right away. She and her hubby took great care of her. Millie gets along well with her dog, too.”
“Debbie did a great job in taking care of my dog. She took care of Oreo as her own. She takes Oreo to groomer also when needed. I had to postpone my return date and she was very helpful and flexible in modifying the stay.I will definitely recommend Debbie.”
“Melissa and her family did such an excellent job watching Maya and Hubert! They made the whole process so easy and treated our dogs with such love. Would highly recommend and would absolutely use them again! :)”
“Nicholas was so kind and patient with my 4 month old puppy. I was nervous leaving her for 5 days but Nicholas sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. My pup bonded instantly with Nicholas’ dog, AJ, who was so careful and patient with her. Would 100% recommend.”
“YiTing is a wonderful care sitter! She kept me updated every day and always let me know if she had any concerns about my little Shih Tzu, such as when she wasn’t eating well. She sent me pictures regularly and even discovered what toys she liked to play with—without me having to say anything! This was my first time leaving my dog with her, and I felt very reassured. I will definitely book her again for my next trip.”
About: I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter who started my own dog-walking business and has been caring for pets since age 10. I have over 2 years of consistent dog-walking experience, have dog-sat while owners were away,and have cared for guinea pigs, including their daily needs and medications. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection! 💕🐶😊 I’m currently a college student at Michigan State University, so my availability during the school semester is limited. However, Im available on certain weekends, college breaks, holidays, and other scheduled time off to provide loving and reliable pet care while you’re away! My home is a welcoming, open environment where pets can feel comfortable and at home! I currently don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will have plenty of opportunities for one-on-one attention and care! I have a non-fenced yard, so pets will always be kept on a leash during potty breaks and outdoor playtime to ensure their safety. Pets are welcome both upstairs and downstairs, and they are allowed on the furniture and in my bedroom to relax and feel at home!
“Julie is great and is very flexible. Our pup Riley liked her instantaneously. She is quick in responding to messages and sends regular updates and pictures. We recommend Julie.”
“Erin and her family are so WONDERFUL to work with and to our dog. She is excellent at giving updates on our dog while we’re away and loves her like her own. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Sunita is very conscientious on the care of my pup and I greatly appreciated it! From taking my dog on daily walks to making sure our Benny was loved and comforted, while being separated from his humans. Sunita was very kind & caring during the stressful time of traveling. I strongly recommend Sunita for any pet care! She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Also, knowing our pup was in loving, and great hands was a comfort! Thank you so much, Sunita! ?”
“Debbie watched our 14 year old golden retriever Maggie for 11 days. She was great with updated photos of Maggie. Maggie was well cared for and we were very happy with Debbie.”
“Our dog had a wonderful visit with Barbara and Dirk. They have a great setup for dogs, are friendly, and are good communicators. They even put up with us being later than expected on pickup. We’ll definitely use them again.”
“Deana took amazing care of my dog, she and her husband are very friendly, comfortable with dogs, flexible with scheduling and responsive to communication. Their dog Shaggy is very sweet and friendly as well!”
“Sarge had a great time staying with Amanda, and thoroughly enjoyed playing with the other dogs. He came home happy and healthy. We received regular picture and video updates, which everyone enjoys and is greatly appreciated. Would definitely consider again for future needs. Thank you!”
About: Hello! My name is Julie. My 23-year-old daughter, Gracie, and I are big dog lovers and I have had dogs our whole life. We are looking to help out dog owners that may have weekend plans and need help with their dogs. I have helped dog-sit for many of my friends. If you need us overnight or for us to just to pop in and see them because you have a long day out of the house we can help! I do prefer to have your pet in my house for overnights. **Disclaimer** We do own a yellow lab named Morgan. She is 11 and very friendly with other dogs. If your dog is not friendly with other dogs, then we cannot help you with anything other than drop-ins. I do have a partially fenced yard but not fully fenced. I will go outside with your dog at all times and can put them on a lead if they have a tendency to run. I will not leave them alone outside regardless of the weather! I live in Northville and would prefer not to travel more than 5 miles from my home. My daughter and I are full-time teachers until I retire in June of 2027. Until then, I am mostly available on weekends. We are high school teachers and can be home by 4pm. We are available on most weekends and in the evenings during the week. We can stop by for a quick visit after work or take your dog for the weekend. I have a semi-fenced yard and an 11 year old yellow lab that is friendly with other dogs. I have a lead the dog can be on and will stay outside with them until they are ready to come back in.
“Amie and her family took excellent care of my dog. They helped her feel comfortable as she had never stayed away from home. I received daily updates and pictures. I would highly recommend them.”
“Angela and Dave are ANGELS! They cared for Tasha as if she were their own baby! Not only was the care and companionship above and beyond, they made the extra efforts to contact me on any concerns/clarification, welcomed me to thrir home to swing by and check on Tasha, and texted daily photos, videos, and messsages!!!! They made Tasha feel like she was at the spa! I’m DEEPLY touched and EXTREMELY blessed by their efforts and care!!!! I will Definitely contact them for my future trips to Michigan!!!”
“Julie and family were simply amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and we could not have been happier. We’ve never let our dog stay with anyone besides family before but some things came up and we had to find alternative care in a pinch. Julie sent daily photos and updates on our senior dog who was living his best life! Could not recommend her enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wixom
My dog has some anxiety issues as I adopted him recently. Shelter was rough for him. Jenna and her husband took such great care of him he settled right in. He also bonded with their 2 dogs and she sent me videos of them playing that really eased my mind. I highly recommend Jenna G for your dogs as well. I will surely be back when travel without him is required. Bob H.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wixom is $41 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $52 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,741 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wixom. 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 Wixom 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 Wixom 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 Wixom.
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 Wixom 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.
