“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.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for all animals! I pay attention to each pets routine and needs throughout the day. And I will be keeping you updated with pictures and videos on how they are doing. I work from home and have all the free time in the world! And also don’t have any pets right now! So all my focus would be on your fur baby. Because I am home 24/7 they wouldn’t be allowed to be left alone or get into anything. We would have unlimited walks or play time!! Or if they are the fur baby that likes to relax it’s plenty of clean spots for them in my home ❤️
“We just moved to Detroit and we needed a dog sitter ASAP so we turned to Rover. We used the service in our prior city and found a good reliable sitter. We lucked out again with Theresa & Adrian. They took good care of our goldendoodle. If they are available, we will definitely use their services again.”
“We had such a great first Rover experience with Shannon! She sent updates and pictures of our dog several times a day, and she was professional from start to finish. We’ll definitely call on her again when we need dog-sitting!”
“Emily, Jason & Larry were excellent hosts!! Upon my request for a sitter, they suggested a meet & greet between our dogs. They were welcoming and caring about insuring the dogs were compatible. We agreed on letting Nanook stay. They were very communicative about what our dog was up to, how he was getting along with Larry and they sent photos too. After the stay we were surprised to have received a thank you note and a personalized treat in our bag. That was such a sweet touch! We would definitely book with Emily & Jason again! Nanook enjoyed his stay with them and Larry!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and had dogs in my own home for 10+ years. I have had experience ranging from raising and training puppies to caring for senior dogs with special needs such as blindness and diabetes. I work remotely from my home and will make sure your pet has all the attention that they need. While I have your pet I will ensure they are only left alone briefly for necessary errands. I have a fenced backyard and one well mannered if energetic pup. Your dog will receive as much love and care as my own. From snuggles on the couch to long walks around the neighborhood and games of fetch in the back yard.
“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!”
“Dawn was great! We got updated with pictures and video. Bella really enjoyed her time. I highly recommend Dawn and I will be reaching out to her on our next trip away. Thank you, Dawn 🐾”
“Cody, his family, and pup Freya took great care of Moxie. She was skittish being her first time away overnight, but they were patient with her and gave daily updates and pics. She loved playing with Freya& fetching balls. Their home and yard is safe and secure. We will definitely book Cody again when we are visiting out-of-state family near him.”
“I would trust leaving my dog here any time. He was loved and cared for by this amazing couple like he was their own. This was my first time trusting anyone with my dog and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. Received daily pictures and updates, was able to enjoy vacation worry free. Highly recommended!”

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.”
“Tara is a fantastic Dog Sitter. It’s the first time my dog is away from here for a long time and she was very happy being at Tara‘s house. I enjoyed getting the photos. She also adjusted to my change in the days that I scheduled to be with her, which is very helpful for me during this time of my surgery”
“Snickers hadn’t stayed at a “stranger’s” house in years but she adapted well at Paula’s. Snickers thinks that she is too old to play but apparently she LOVED Paula’s big back yard. Snickers was in good spirits when I picked her up and I would definitely use her again.”
“Angela is communicative, kind and friendly. I’ve never used Rover before and I am so happy I did. My dog Sammy is high energy and a bit needy so I was nervous. But it worked out great and I was so glad to see everyday that Sammy was in great hands and having fun. A++++ THANK YOU”

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!

There are 1,587 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Southgate. About 93% 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.

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 MI 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.
