“David was awesome. Great communication, responsive. We felt really good about the way he took care of our little dog. He’s certainly going to be our first choice next time.”
“Luna LOVES going to Lauren & Kevin's. As soon as we arrived she was so excited to see them, she jumped to give them both kisses then immediately started to play with Chani. I always have piece of mind when she's with them.”
“Alisa was amazing !! This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. However after Reno’s stay first stay with Alisa, I am totally comfortable with bringing him back. She provides a comfortable space for your fur-baby. She has a huge backyard, which my Reno absolutely LOVED !!! I will definitely be booking with her in the future ❤️”
“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!”

“Kim is wonderful to our girl Isla! Isla just fits right in with the pack and has so much fun. Kim is always doing something fun with her, and always gives her the best care. She’s our go to sitter and we’re grateful to have found her, we will use her until the day she decides to not dog sit anymore.”
“If you need a sitter for your beloved little one, then book with Yvonne…She is trustworthy, kind and very caring for my Emma…She sent pictures every day…easy communication with her and I will definitely use her again…My Emma had fun with her children, went for walks and was loved by her family…but most of all, I was at total ease and stress free when my husband and I went on vacation…I can’t thank her enough!!!”
“Shannon was very good with our dog. She kept us posted on how he was doing with posts through Rover and lots of pictures. I could tell our dog felt at home with her and we found her communication and service with our dog to be top notch!! We will definitely use her again. A+ and very grateful.”
About: 10+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, temperaments, sizes and ages have taught me that every dog really is one-of-a-kind, and I honor all of their unique personalities and needs. I do sincerely respect dogs, but I always have so much fun spending time with them! I’m a student, and I’m busy with class from 12:30-4 M-TH, so I have the most free time during mornings and evenings. I live in an apartment with my very gentle 8 year old poodle, who I’ve noticed is a comforting presence to nervous dogs. I live a very short walk away from a great dog park.
“Whitney and Samuel took excellent care of Kodi! He was so happy with them. They sent pictures and gave updates. I will definitely book with them again!”
“Lindsey is great with Cosmo! She plays with him, takes him on walks, and takes great care of him. She sends pictures every day and it's clear he's very comfortable with her. We will definitely keep booking with her in the future.”
“Andy was great with our Remy! We were in a pinch because of a late cancellation (family emergency) by a different sitter, and Andy was super accommodating and understanding. Andy knew how to easy Remy into her new environment. We received great communication and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend and will definitely use Andy again!”
“This is my 2nd time booking with George, and I've had nothing but pleasant experiences. He has worked with me & has been understanding if I had a delay. He updates me on my dogs status and sends pics, giving me a peace of mind. Will book again! 🐾”
“Faith and her family were lovely to deal with, and our Zoey sure enjoyed staying with them!! Great communication. Sadly, for us, we aren't in this area often, so we're not sure when we'll be able to have Faith keep Zoey for us again! Definitely recommend!”
“I can’t thank you enough for helping me last minute watching Chelsea last week. The energy of your person and your home space is so grounding and calming was the immediate presence that I was relieved with upon meeting you. I needed my baby somewhere safe and peaceful and you provided that thank you beautiful human would love to work with you again! Tipped you in cash.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southgate
Lauren & Kevin were so great! They are so nice and welcoming and just clearly true dog lovers. Their two dogs are so sweet and kept my 1.5 yo occupied and having fun! They were very responsive, sent pictures, and were willing to be flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend them to watch your fur babies and I will be a repeat client in the future (:
Leaving my dog with a sitter for the first made us feel uncertain. However having Jamie as a sitter made everything feel easy and more comfortable. She was great with my dog! Gave her lots of care and attention and sent us many pics and updates along the way. Will definitely be using Jamie again in the near future when I need a 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 of Dog Boarding in Southgate is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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.

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 Southgate 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 Southgate 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 Southgate.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
