“Amanda has given me a comfort that I did not know would ever exist for me. I NEVER imagined being comfortable leaving Baxter with anyone…EVER! I admit the anxiety of leaving him behind was extreme. The entire time we were away, I would receive automatic updates and pictures from Amanda. She put my mind at ease knowing that her entire household was giving him love and attention. He even became buddies with her son whom he sat and watched play video games before leaving for school. He use to do the same thing with my son. In the past we had issues with Baxter after picking hm up from the kennel, signaling to us that he was not treated the best. This time, he was excited to be home but his behavior was normal. If you are feeling uneasy about leaving your four-legged child behind, find comfort in knowing that Amanda will treat him with the same love and attention he receives at home. Thank you to Amanda and her family for loving my Bax and giving me the peace of mind in knowing that he has a home away from home with her family!”
“George was great with taking care of Zee. He communicated well, sending pictures along the way. She was very happy when we picked her up. Very reasonable rates. Will definitely book again. Thank you George.”
“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!!!”
“Amanda and her husband were amazing with Huckleberry. She told me their house is a dog house and boy was she right! He immediately seemed comfortable there the moment we dropped him off. She gave us consistent updates throughout the stay and treated him as he was her own. He absolutely adored her and was loving all the cuddles and attention. I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch him in the future and I hope we get to utilize Amanda’s services again!”
“Kimberly took such great care of my two girls. I couldn’t ask for a better person to leave them with. We were gone for a long trip and she always sent pics and cute videos to fill our hearts while we were missing them! Could not recommend her enough. So grateful we found her!”
“What a great experience for all! Beretta loved her stay, we went away with out worry, and Andria's family loved the interaction with our dog for a few days!! From the moment of meeting Andria's family, I could tell that this was a perfect setting and a good match to fill our needs for skipping towns for a few days. Half the battle sometimes, as a pet owner, is setting up boarding for your fur baby, and then being able to relax while your away that your dog's needs are being met! Not one time did I worry, or even consider that Beretta would have a terrible adjustment for the few days we were out of town. It was great to get the pictures daily, and the updates on how the status was on our pooch! Beretta looked like she was right at home ....only she wasn't....she was in Andria's and interacting so well with her family! If you need to be rest assured that your dog is well taking care of, having personal attention and affection giving through out the days, and being cared for with proper dietary needs and bathroom breaks, then I highly recommend Andria! Beretta, is kind of a "high" maintenance pup...(she requires a coat and shoes when going out in snowy weather....and it was snowy the whole time of her stay....) and not one squabble from Andria about accommodating getting her shoes on, or her jacket when taking her outside. Andria, thank you. Thank you for your attention to detail, the meeting up prior to the actual stay, the daily messages and updates with photos, and your gentle nature and calmness. You were the real MVP of our mini getaway, and we appreciate you taking care of Beretta immensely!”
“Robert was great! He was so easy to work with, Violet loved him and came home exhausted, and I knew Violet was safe. I will definitely be using him again and have already recommended him to others.”
“The regular updates and seeing how immediately comfortable my dogs were alleviated any worries I had about leaving them. Alisa even accommodated a delayed flight so I could pick them up straight from the airport! The room the dogs were set up in had a giant bed for them, which is great because I’ve always allowed them on furniture and am so glad to see how cozy they were. Alisa really is a total professional and so organized, I felt so relieved knowing she was watching them!”
“This was Josie’s second stay with Maureen. It was another exceptional stay. Josie had a number of walks and snuggle times on the couch. Maureen is wonderful about sending pictures so we can see how much fun Josie is having. Thank you, Maureen, for taking such good care of our Josie!”
“Thank you Angela! She took wonderful care of our dog, Budd. Helped manage his anxiety during thunderstorms, kept us up to date on how he was adjusting, and send sweet photos!”
“Tiffany you're the best.Thanks a million for taking such great care of Leo during our trip. I would definitely recommend Tiffany B. to everyone. If you want your dog spoiled rotten with love and kindness. Then Tiffany B. is the one.❤️”
“Natalie took great care of my dog over the weekend, she is very responsive and provided regular updates with photos and videos. We were at ease during my dog’s stay. Will definitely be using her again.”
“Nadine and mark were amazing. I can't say enough good things about Nadine and Mark! They recently watched my dog, Remy, and I felt so comfortable leaving him in their care. They sent me updates and pictures regularly, which put my mind at ease. It's clear they're both huge dog lovers, and Remy came home happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“This was my pup's first stay with Sofia, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the holiday weekend, which really helped me relax knowing my girl was happy and well cared for. Sofia's communication was excellent, and I truly appreciated the care and attention she gave my pup. I'd absolutely book another stay and highly recommend her!”
“Angela was great and sent pictures on a regular basis to keep us updated! Cooper felt right at home and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe place for your pup.”
“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”
“Kerri is so pleasant and Ori makes sure to keep order to the house :-). He was very protective of my Marco and I appreciate them both for taking good care of him. Marco was not feeling his best but they took very good care of him. Their home was beautiful, the space was perfect and Marco was comfortable which was all that mattered. I’d recommend them and will book again.”
“I'm a first-time paw-parent. It was my first-time boarding our girl. I was sooooo nervous but she came back home happy yesterday after 2 night stays with Anthony. You know what am I doing? I just rebooked Anthony for the upcoming summer. Thank you, Anthony!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southgate
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 for Dog Boarding in Southgate on Rover is $35.31 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,535 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.
94% 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.
