“I was nervous to leave my puppy with someone but Rachel did a great job. I got updates and videos. My little Max just loves her. I knew when she picked him up and he didn’t stop wagging his tail! Will definitely use her again!”
“Alisa was a wonderful sitter. She seemed to be very "in-tune" with dogs. There are only a few dogs at a time, and each one can stay in its own room if that's the mood. She is comfortable with different dog personalities and can handle barking, clinging, and so forth. Her back yard is a nice size, and the fact that she works from home is ideal. We look forward to having her take care of our dog again.”
“Allesha took great care of my dog. Her house and yard are lovely and she sent me many updates and took care to get my finnicky dog to eat. Allesha's dogs are very friendly and playful, but she is perceptive of body language and sets up gates in the house if one dog needs a break. She was also flexible with our vacation plans when they changed. I recommend her!”
“This was our first time using a Rover sitter and we feel so lucky that we found Amanda! During our meet-and-greet, Amanda and her husband, Robert, asked great questions to make sure they knew what type of care our reactive dog needed. They truly took care of our dog, Dilla, like he was their own. ❤️ He spent his days playing with the basket full of toys waiting by for him by the front door and evenings curled up on the couch between Amanda and Robert. We received tons of pictures while we were away which made us feel at ease knowing Dilla was well taken care of, happy, safe, and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. They will 100% be our first choice for dog sitting services in the future and we know Dilla will be happy to spend time with them again!”
“Our dog Bear stayed with Dena and her family for the third time, and he had a great time! We will continue to be repeat customers because they are so kind and caring towards our dog. It is helpful to know that while you are gone, your pet is loved and cared for.”
“I want to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking such great care of Donatello! When we adopted him we had already had a family trip planned. We were nervous to find care for him but Anthony took it on with ease! We got so many pictures and videos we felt like we knew where he was at all times and we could see he was enjoying his puppy buddy. Would highly recommend Anthony!!!”
“My girls returned for another stay with LaTash. Once again, they had the best time and were well taken care of. I am so blessed to have found a pet sitter like LaTash. I am extremely comfortable with her taking care of my babies!!!”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“Grace did a wonderful job of taking care of my Pug named Pugsley. She took her out for regular walks, took care of Pugsley special needs, and sent me numerous updates and pictures to assure me that Pugsley is doing just fine. Thank you Grace and will definitely use you next time. I would recommend Grace to whoever needs a sitter at any time. Thanks again Grace. Mike.”
“Guinness loves coming here. He enjoys the other dogs in the house and the play time in the backyard. He always comes home exhausted from all the fun he’s had with Tonya.”
“To echo the others sentiments, I can't say enough good things about Karen! We are so luck to have found her. She is caring, detail-oriented and texted us pictures of our dogs. We have never left them with anyone before, but will be returning customers to Karen as long as she'll have us! She is an amazing pet sitter.”
“Susan was great to communicate with and easy to work with. Even when unexpected things came up, she was upfront and worked out a good situation for our dog. She was also flexible with pickup when our flight was an hour delayed getting back.”
“Thank you Paula for taking care of Lily for a second weekend! It was nice to see Lily so excited to see you when we dropped her off the second time. It gave us confidence we left her in good hands.”
“Shree was a total Gem her and Raul treated Zou like family ! My heart was filled with joy on the way they cared for him . The videos and messages were just enough to keep us engaged on his progress during his stay! He’s a puppy and still in the baby stages which is a lot but they managed him so well!”
“Maureen is amazing! She took care of our dog, Chutney, for almost three weeks in her home and she treated him just like her own. She sent regular updates and photos and make sure to take him for daily walks. Chutney is nervous around new people, in but he definitely took to Maureen immediately. She is a natural with taking care of dogs! I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Kimberly is always so amazing with communication! I know Bronco is loved and spoiled in her care. Bronco is always pulling in excitement whenever we arrive at her house. I could not be more happy to have somewhere that I feel confident leaving my dog!”
“Teresa and her husband were especially attentive to our dog. They took care of her as she was their own. We are so appreciative to have someone so caring. Thank you being there when our dog needed you the most.”
“Robert is a really nice person, flexible with hours and dates (we had to drop Skye off a day before and he accepted even if was last minute notice ). He kept us posted with messages, pictures and videos. I would definitely leave Skye with him again . It was a pleasure meeting him and Skye loved him as well. He took a really nice care of our baby.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southgate
Jamie and her husband took wonderful care of Mistral! Communication was excellent throughout his stay, and they sent me photos. They even surprised Mistral with a few of their daughter's soft balls to take home, which was such a thoughtful gesture. It's clear they genuinely love dogs and treat them like family. I would absolutely recommend Jamie and her husband to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Thank you both!
David did an amazing job with Rocky! He kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky adjusted quickly, had a great time, and it was clear he felt safe and well cared for. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Fantastic! From initial meeting and communication to the final pick-up, Jake operated with a tremendous level of quality and care. He asked detailed intelligent questions before drop-off to make sure everything went smoothly, sent daily pictures and updates, walked every day, and had a great time. Most professional sitter we have ever used on Rover, will absolutely be booking again. Thanks Jake!!
Our Charlie had a wonderful time with Erin! Erin went above and beyond caring for her - especially with the additional circumstances of Charlie experiencing her first heat. We had absolutely no worries and were updated frequently with lots of photos. Will definitely look to have Erin watch Charlie again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Southgate on Rover is $34.95 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,548 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Southgate. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Southgate sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Southgate landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Southgate 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 Southgate.
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 Southgate 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.
