“Michael once again did an excellent job with Dash. A day before Dash was supposed to board, he had a bit of a stress tummy. Michael agreed to take him anyway and was wonderful about giving him his medication and specially diet. So grateful!”
“Allesha took very good care of my puppy Spot I got pictures and videos every day. Sometimes Spot can be a handful since she is a puppy. Allesha always puts up with her which is very nice. Spot loves going to stay at her home As soon as Spot sees her she wants to run towards her. I am very thankful to have found Allesha”
“This was our first time leaving Vegas with someone and Ashley did amazing with her. We didn’t have time to do any pre-interview with Ashley, but she immediately made us feel comfy. Vegas had a great time — would definitely recommend!! Thank you!!!”
“Had a great experience with Katey taking care of our dog. She kept us updated on the dog and sent pictures daily. She has a lovely home, great big yard, and nice family. I'm surprised that the dog wanted to go home.”
“I was extremely nervous about leaving Michael Jackson for the 1st time But I received an update to alleviate all the fears I had. My 1st experience was extremely positive I will definitely be using them again. Thanks for Taking care of my Furry Son!”
“This was Jules first boarding since moving to Michigan. She was loved and well cared for. I will absolutely have Laura care for her again. Thank you Laura for taking such good care of Mr girl 🥰”
“Cody was very responsive and Nico seemed very happy during his first stay there. Cody helped Nico acclimate to a new place and Nico had lots of fun playing with the other dogs.”
“Sydney was amazing!!! Poor Charlie got sick with 2 parasites right before his visit. He was feeling much better after a few days on medication so Sydney still was willing to take him in. She continued the rest of his treatment which consisted of multiple medications at carousing times throughout the day. She continued to provide us updates through out his stay and reassured us that he was definitely on the up and up the whole time. Her location is ideal for airport travel as she is only about 10 minutes from DTW. We will absolutely use Sydney in the future!! Thank you again!”
“Dawn is a lovely person. Bella went right in with her tail wagging! And was happy and cheerful when we went to go pick her up. Will definitely recommend her and use her services again!”
“Shawna was great. Kept me updated with pictures and texts about Helcia. She has a couple of concerns, but brought them to my attention immediately. I would request Shawna again if I needed someone to watch Helcia for me.”
“Chelsea was great with my boy. He is a little quirky so she did a meet and greet beforehand and put my mind at ease that he would be fine. He was well taken care of and I saw photos and got updates every day. Ty Chelsea for giving us peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation with no worries for him!”
“Nadine and Mark were fantastic! This was my first time using them and I had no concerns before, during, or after my dog’s stay. Sprout was clearly very calm and comfortable staying with them. They were very responsive and easy to communicate with. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing their services.”
“My dog Marty loves staying with Erika! Erika is a great sitter and I always rebook with her. She was kind to accommodate in a short notice given. I highly recommend Erika! 👌”
“Susan was wonderful! She took great care of my cat, Meredith. She even went to the store to get a healthier cat food for Meredith because her tummy was getting upset. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for their furry friend to have a nice stay. Will be booking with her again. Thank you Susan!”
“JoAnn took excellent care of our Yorkie Poodle. There was frequent feedback about his stay and how he was doing including pictures and videos every few hours which made us not worry about him while we were on vacation. He got more care than at home when we are normally busy with our work. He looked comfortable in JoAnn's house and looked happy to hang out with other dogs. We would definitely book again when needed in future.”
“Jeannette is just all around five stars. We use her for dog walking. First time using for boarding and was just as awesome. Regular check ins and updates. Our little guy with POOPED after his vacation. :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with Eleanor. She was caring, reliable, and treated our dog like her own. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again! ❤️🐾”
About: I grew up with various kinds of animals of all ages. I'll prioritize giving your dog consistent potty breaks, play time, and enough walks throughout the day so they feel comfortable and enjoy their stay, or watch out for any special instructions like timed medicines or special dietary restrictions I have no time restrictions, I am available at any time of the day, full time, and including overnight stays to care for your cat. I have a fenced yard, a safe and comfortable space for your pet to roam around, an area to walk them, and a comfortable spot for them to sleep.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Southgate is $45

Nicole just watched our dog for the weekend and she was FANTASTIC. So easy to work with and very kind & communicative. Our dog tends to be anxious around new people and environments but she did great with Nicole. Nicole was also very flexible. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a dog sitter.
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Southgate is $35 per night as of November 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.
There are 1,581 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. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
