“Gabrielle was a great pet sitter for our dog! She was very communicative and easy to work with. She sent us pictures and let us know everything was going great! Would definitely recommend her to others!”
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed here for a multiple day booking and had an amazing time. The sitter was fantastic and which allowed my dog to socialize and spend time around a friendly large breed dog, which was a wonderful bonus experience. It was great to see my dog so comfortable, well-cared for, and happily socializing. I will definitely use this sitter again in the future!”
“Cathy was the best choice for our 4-year old pup! She sent daily pictures and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and loved while we were away. We will definitely be using Cathy’s services again in the future! We are so thankful for her incredible care for our pup!”
“Once again we have struck GOLD! Abbie has a GREAT home environment. My Keazer and Sözé were well taken care of. They enjoyed the ability to be outside and great lengths. We were able to extend when pick up needed to be delayed. We are looking forward to having them return for the next time.”
“Cori was wonderful with our dog who suffers from pretty severe separation anxiety. It was a tough few days but they did everything they could to calm her down and make her feel safe. We appreciate how well they took care of her, the updates we got multiple times per day and how responsive she was to us.”
“Tricia was flexible, kind, and patient with our dog. Her kids were calm and not afraid to play with a big dog. She sent us updates and pictures along the way. We will be going back to Tricia again for services for our dog!”
“Dion is a wonderful, responsible caregiver. He is kind and thinks of all safety contingencies. He is the kind of caregiver that one wants to have. And he loves dogs and has a very nice one. Our small pup Susie has fears of thunderstorms and also of being touched in certain ways, and Dion quickly won her over. He even took her on three walks per day. I can’t recommend anyone more highly. If/when we go away on a trip, he will be our go-to person.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful! Communication before and during our stay was excellent. We received multiple messages throughout the week along with pictures of our dog! Emily and her husband genuinely care about animals, highly recommend and will 1000% use her again for any pet sitting needs!”
“Gracie and Marley had a wonderful 5 day stay with Patricia! It was so reassuring to get our daily pictures and updates while we were away. It was evident that they thoroughly enjoyed Patricia’s company. We will definitely use Patricia to care for our fur babies again!”
“Maddie was an incredible sitter. She was very knowledgable and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. There is a big backyard which was great for Chester to get some energy out. I would absolutely request to use her again!”
“Nancy has been great with ou senior dog. She makes sure he feels comfortable and safe. Nancy takes him potty often especially because he's a senior dog. She is super flexible and has great communication. Both of her pupps do a great job with Domi as well. We will continue using her as long as she keeps Rovering.”
“Kamilah was great with Rosie over the long weekend. She made time for a meet and greet before the booking. She took her to the park and regularly sent photo updates. Thanks for taking good care of my pup!”
“Leann was awesome with my Shelby- a beagle mix with high separation anxiety. She is set up for success in her home, very knowledgeable and understanding. Made enjoying my time away stress free! Would definitely recommend to anyone!♡”
“Our dog Martin always enjoys himself when he is at Josephine's home. Josephine is very caring and has taken great care of Martin. She takes him to the dog park, which he loves and long walks. When he comes home after visiting Josephine’s house he is so wore out from all the fun that he had, that he has to rest. Josephine is informative, send pictures, and is so easy to communicate with. Josephine will be my first choice for a dog sitter going forward.”
“Clarisa housed my cat Keanu for 6 days. Keanu had a hard time adjusting at first due to being in a new environment but after a day or two Clarisa sent me pictures of her napping and purring.”
“Sally was so kind and communicative while watching my dog while I was out of town for a few days. She took great care of him and sent photos and updates regularly so I knew how he was doing. I would highly recommend working with Sally to take care of your pet!”

Our dog, Buddy, stayed with Jenny for 9 nights and was very well taken care of. He got regular walks and belly rubs. Jenny also kept us updated daily with pictures and details about their day. We could tell Buddy was happy when we picked him up. He was very calm and relaxed. We were extremely happy with her care and will definitely reach out to her again for care.
Jessica was, once again, amazing and available on short notice!! Indy was clearly very comfortable and well-loved in her care. It was great to know he was in safe and familiar hands! Regular updates and easy coordination/flexibility with drop-off and pick-up. Attentive to behavioral quirks. Without hesitation, I continue to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for stellar animal care!
Austin was fantastic from the start and really did a great job taking care of our dog. Our beagle stayed with Austin for 1 night and he was super attentive, listened, and made her feel at home. We were looking for a sitter that more matched our home environment to make her comfortable, versus a kennel. Austin came through on that and our beagle was super comfortable! Austin was very responsive in communications and sent updates during her stay, which we appreciated! Would book Austin again as he treated Roxy very well.
Tyler did an incredible job taking care of our cat, who has a rather challenging personality. He was incredibly caring, patient, and created a comfortable environment for our cat to thrive in. He kept us informed multiple times a day through messages and shared amazing photos and videos. We completely relied on him, and he exceeded our expectations. Now that we’re planning to leave the city again, we know exactly who to call to board our cat.
Matt was great! Our boys, Hammer & Chisel, were well taken care of! Also, great communication from Matt made our first time using Rover a smooth experience. You won't be disappointed if you choose Matt to look after your fur babies, he's laid back and a pleasure to work with!
A+ experience! Raider had a wonderful time, and we loved receiving the daily photos and updates. It was clear he was happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself. Kiki was kind, gentle, and truly caring—exactly what you hope for when leaving your beloved pet with someone else. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked his next stay. Perfect for our spoiled fur baby! Highly recommend. 🐾💕
Madison and Adam are the best sitters ever! They send plenty of pictures and Minnie got plenty of walks. They were flexible when I had to drop her off and pick her up a little after the original scheduled time due to flights. Minnie came back, so happy and energized. She had a mini vacation herself! I definitely recommend them to anyone.
I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!

There are 804 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Southgate. About 91% of Southgate 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. 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.
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 KY 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.
