Highly-rated overnight sitters - Southgate
“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“Robert was great with our senior dog, Diamond! He was very communicative and sent messages with photos of our girl during her 2 night stay. He was responsive to all messages and just all around pleasant. This is the first time we have boarded Diamond anywhere and she didn't come home stressed out! I will definitely book with Robert again because our dog was safe and comfortable.”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“From our initial meet and greet to pick-up, Aunt Patti made us feel like we were a valued part of her family. Patti is a pet parent dream. You instantly could tell how much she loves dogs. Well stocked with toys and treats, Patti made sure my pet felt at home. Patti asked all the right questions to make sure my pet would be following the same rules we've set at home. She also made sure her yard was safe and secure for a small dog. Garvey will be returning to Aunt Patti's soon!”
“Katie took really good care of Savana while I was away. Her doggies taught Savana how to go down the stairs, hopefully she'll follow me when I go down the stairs. I got pictures of Savana showing me she was safe and happy. Thank You”
“Where do I begin?! Literally from our meet and greet, I knew Angelique and her fur baby: Ozzy would make a great pair for Mocha! While I was on vacation, I never once worried about or doubted Mocha’s well-being. As Angelique sent plenty of photos and videos to keep me in the know. And just from observing the imagery, it was clear that Mocha was very happy and well-looked after! I am so happy and relieved to have met Angelique and Ozzy, and so will you! ?❤️”
“Lauren and Kevin & their lil nephew were loving to Lola. I glad she was comfortable in their home with their own pets. I always worry about that because Lola is use to being the only dog in the house. Upon pick up Kevin said they really loved having her and said she was really good so I was so relieved to hear that when you are leaving your pet with new people for 7 days. Thank you again for all the love and care you provided Lola while we were away!”
“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!!!”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“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!”
“So kind and caring! Pretty sure my dog didn’t want to come back. Really appreciate the communication and checking in. It’s nice to know someone is “caring” for you dog not just “watching” him. :)”

“I was nervous because this was the first time I'd left Picasso with someone he didn't know. Ekow was extremely kind and sent updates of a happy dog daily, which made me feel much better. We've found a new sitter and I will definitely be reaching out anytime we need a sitter. Five stars!!”
About: I’ve had childhood animals as well as my own of all shapes and sizes. I’ve fostered multiple dogs at a time. I work from home so I will be with your pet all day. I have experience with sick dogs as well that may need medication on a schedule. I work from home so I’ll be available for your pet all day. I’m available for boarding, dog walking, or potty breaks mon-sun. I have a fenced yard and 3 children ages 12, 4, and 2 that would love on your pet all day long. I have room for a crate if your dog needs one as well.
“Zaniya was very attentive to my baby Bizkit. She also allowed me to text her for photos and FaceTime (when needed). He got to finally play with other dogs, be more of an outside dog (he's normally an inside dog). Although he suffered from separation anxiety as this being his first time away from my family for more than a day, he adjusted very well as an untrained puppy. I thank God for her communication and will book again when I travel again in the near future. Thanks again!”
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
“Leslie was a great dog sitter for our pup, Jackson! She was very kind and took the time to get to know all of the important aspects of our dog. She sent us daily updates with pictures so we would know how things were going, and took great care of Jackson with plenty of walks and playtime.”
“Megan was amazing with Remy. I booked her last minute and she made herself available. She stayed in contact with me and sent pictures and she was quick to respond. I highly recommend Megan to watch ur pets. She is extremely trustworthy. She loves animals and that made me confident that she was the perfect candidate to watch my baby Remy.”

“chelsea provided the best care for my cat! she spent quality time playing with her and cuddling with her on the couch. she was great with sending pictures while we were gone.”
“WOW! Lindsey was amazing. More than amazing. Everything I could hope for in a sitter. Within 2 days she had my super shy girl sitting on her lap. This took my husband at least a year and a half to get to that point. She sent pictures showing the same shy girl playing with a wand without the other two cats butting in. They all loved her and from what I could tell, each kitty had equal play and loving. I came home to clean litter boxes, fresh water, happy cats, and a vacuumed house! She genuinely cared about my babies. I almost want to take trips just to have Lindsey come over and love on my cats ❣️”
About: My two amazing cats are 11 years old. There names are Simba & Reigny. I wipe their faces daily. I make sure to scrub their water bowl with soap every single day so they have clean and fresh water. The second I notice they use the litter box, I get up and clean it for them. Those cats are my heart and soul.
“Isabelle was amazing! I loved reading her descriptions of her visits and the photos of my babies 💖 I was comforted on my trip knowing she was taking such good care of them. I could tell she really loves animals and my cat MooMoo definitely misses her already lolll, I'll for sure be booking again in the future 💕”
“Minion warmed up to Brooke the first day. Just amazing! She's very knowledgeable. Very polite, exceptional on sending pics and keeping you updated day by day. I would highly recommend Brooke to anyone, I'm sending the cat on a vacation next time so Brooke can look in on me from day to day, lol! Thank you very much. Rover for having professional people and people you can trust in your home would highly recommend Rover also”
“Anna was great. Very nice. Texted me daily to let me know everything was okay and kitties were well. I didn't want to board them but was hesitant to have someone I didn't know in my home. Anna has resolved that worry. I have trust in Anna and will always use her going forward.”
“Catalina did an excellent job taking care of my cat. She sent us pictures and updates daily. Her communication is really impressive. She had a separate room arrangement for our cat until she was ready to meet the host’s 2 cats which I really appreciated. I would definitely book her again if I need pet sitting.”
“Madison was able to take care of my cats last minute - she was a huge help! She eased my mind while I was out of town with all the pictures and detailed updates every morning. She was very responsive as well! I came home to filled food and water bowls and a clean cat area AND happy cats!”
“Jessica was very accommodating when our times changed. She took great care with our two dogs and the both loved her. We will definitely use her services again and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have had pet cats since I was 6 years old, and currently live with 2! I love meeting the unique personalities of cats and adapting as needed. If they want to play and love attention, I have plenty to give. If they just want to chill out and lay around, sounds good to me! It's their world, I'm just (happily) living in it.
“I'm a trucker and needed someone to watch our cat the same day while we went to Canada. David was available thankfully at the time we needed to drop her off and pick her up even though both times were pretty late. I really appreciated that!”

About: I am an avid dog lover and lover of all animals!! We treat our dogs like people, but more importantly they are our family. I will come to your home and watch your babies in the comfort of their own space. I work remote, so I can work from your home. I love all kinds of dogs as long as they don't bite strangers :) I take photos or videos everyday and send them to you, but sometimes I send them to your personal phone and not the app, so it affects my photo rating on here.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Southgate
“My Husband and I recently moved back home from Missouri and I have been trying to find a new day care for my 2 pups like the one they were going to. The new one they started going to they weren’t fond of, so A friend suggested Emily! So happy I can trust someone to take such great care them, she has great communication with the wonders and when I picked my dogs up, they seemed so happy to be there!”
“Pattie was wonderful with Pepper! She communicated consistently throughout the day while being respectful of my work schedule. She sent plenty of pictures and clearly spoiled our baby girl. Pepper came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely use Pattie again for care when we need it.”

I have room for a crate if your dog needs one as well.
About: For over 25 years, our home has never been without a dog. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our beloved boy, Blue, this past year, and we deeply miss the daily joy and warmth a pet brings to a household. Right now, our family is in a transition period as our daughter heads off to college to play softball. Before we commit to a new pet of our own, we want to see how her game and travel schedule unfolds so we can ensure we have the proper time and dedication a permanent dog deserves. Caring for your pet gives us the wonderful opportunity to welcome that familiar canine joy back into our lives, while giving your dog a warm, experienced, and incredibly attentive "home away from home" where they will be treated like family. Since I work from home full-time, your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day. I am easily able to step away for regular, timely bathroom breaks, and I love using my work breaks to check in on them, stretch our legs, and truly enjoy their company. We have a fully fenced-in backyard, but please note that one portion of the fence in the back is a bit lower. Because of this, we want to ensure your pup isn't an active "fence-jumper." However, safety is my top priority! My work-from-home setup gives me full visibility of the entire backyard while I work. If there is ever any concern, I am more than happy to accompany your dog outside every time they need to do their business. Daily Routine & Preferences Once the workday wraps up, it’s all about the dogs—longer neighborhood walks and dedicated playtime are always on the horizon! I am incredibly comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic young pups to gentle seniors, provided they are fully house-trained.
About: With over 14 years of experience caring for animals, pets have always been a big part of my life. I currently have three friendly dogs and a cat, and every one of them is treated like a beloved family member. Our entire household is full of animal lovers, and we pride ourselves on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet that stays with us. We welcome pets into our home where they’ll enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor fun, and our own pets are very social and gentle with others. I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home—and I love sending lots of photo updates so you can see how much fun they’re having while you’re away! Operating as Guardian Paws Boarding (Tracy & Sons, LLC). Pet care isn’t just something I do—it’s my full-time passion and profession. I’m home all day, every day, which means your pet will get constant attention, love, and care. Since this is my only job, your cat (or dog) will be my top priority, and their needs will never be rushed or overlooked. From playtime and feedings to snuggles and quiet companionship, I’m fully available to follow your pet’s routine and make them feel right at home. You can relax knowing they’re being cared for by someone who’s always around and truly dedicated to their happiness and well-being. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like one of the family. I provide a safe, loving home environment with plenty of attention, play, and comfort. We have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can run, explore, and get their energy out safely. If your dog is crate-trained or needs to be crated at certain times, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I have three friendly, well-socialized dogs who love meeting new furry friends, and two wonderful kids (ages 8 and 15) who are great with animals and love to play and cuddle with them. Whether it’s fetch in the yard, a cozy nap inside, or just being around a loving family, your pet will get the care and companionship they deserve while you’re away.
“Anthony was great. We did a meet and greet and when I dropped her off the day, he sent me lots of pictures to reassure me Tilly was content and safe. He took her for walks and spoiled her. I plan to use him again. 5 stars.”
About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

“Sheila was amazing!! I was traveling through the area and noticed there was a Ford Museum i wanted to visit. I reached out the Sheila and she took the pups in last minute with no hesitation. I’m usually very particular about who watches my pups and usually meet up with them first before just leaving them with someone I don’t know. Sheila was very reassuring and sent me messages and pictures throughout their stay to give me peace of mind. I would definitely use Sheila again if ever in the area.”
“Leslie was great! If you're visiting Dearborn to see the sites, definitely leave your dog with her. Pick up and drop off were so easy and less than a mile from the museum gate. She sent photos and kept our dog happy and loved while we explored.”
“Friendly, professional, compassionate, attentive,.courteous and so much more...Beverly is a phenomenal caretaker for my precious little furrbaby.

About: I have such a love for pets and I’ve cared for many different kinds of dogs throughout my life for family members, friends, and amazing people I’ve met through this app! I understand the different types of needs that dogs require and I’m comfortable providing that care to yours! I work an 8 hour job overnight, so I will be gone for those 8 hours while they’re sleeping but I’m able to provide care for them all day long!

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Southgate
About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.

Most of my days are open, however, so I have plenty of time and energy to pour into the pets! I will provide exceptional care to your pet and your home! I am detail-oriented and can take on any care plan with ease. I also value respecting not just the animal(s), but the home and environment that they live in. Trust all around is my top priority!
About: I've had dogs all my life. We just just put our dog down after 12 years from being raised as a puppy. Our family isn't ready for a new dog yet, but we love the company! As a teacher, my summer is dedicated to being home and active! I am looking forward to a summer filled with backyard play and plenty of attention for our guest pups. Since we’ll be home the vast majority of the time, your dog will have constant companionship. While we might head out for the occasional short day trip or camp drop-off, our schedule is primarily centered around being home, making us very flexible for drop-offs, pick-ups, and mid-day belly rubs! Your pup’s safety is our top priority! We have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under constant supervision. Our home is a family environment with three kids who are taught to be gentle and respectful with animals, so we do require that any guest dogs be kid-friendly. Inside, we have stairs, so please let us know if your pup has any mobility issues or needs assistance. We are also happy to crate your dog for meals or naps if that is what they are used to at home. Since we currently have no other pets, your dog will receive 100% of our attention and love during their stay
About: Open home with no children or other animals. All sizes of cats and dogs welcome! I hope your baby likes fun and affection because this is the place for it! I've had pets most of my life, and enjoy having happy wagging tails and purrs of contentment nearby. Pet families welcome too! Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, providing a meaningful way to blend responsibility with care. Each visit is thoughtfully scheduled to ensure consistency, creating a sense of comfort and safety for the pets. I prioritize secure environments, always double-checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions to protect their wellbeing. My growing knowledge of animal behavior helps me recognize what each pet needs, whether it’s a calming walk, playtime, or quiet companionship. This attentiveness brings peace of mind to pet owners and happiness to the animals, making pet sitting not just a task, but a fulfilling and trusted part of my week. When caring for a pet in someone else’s home, I prioritize trust and respect in every action I take. I understand that I’m being welcomed into a personal space, and I treat it with the same care and consideration I would expect in return. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to house rules, to ensure the pet remains comfortable and routines are maintained. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure, and I always communicate openly with the owners, providing updates for peace of mind. Above all, I build trust by being reliable, thoughtful, and fully focused on the wellbeing of both the pet and the home.

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I’m here to make sure your pup gets the love, attention, and exercise they deserve.

I am a college student and looking to have something to do in my free time. My availability is almost completely open so hopefully this works well with your family needs!

About: I grew up with multiple cats and dogs and am surrounded by friends with dogs! I have a sweet kitty at home who is the king of the house. I have a lot of patience so I can handle the chaos of puppies! I work from home so it's easy to pop out for a walk throughout the day! I work full time M-F and travel a handful of times throughout the year! I work flexibly so as long as I do not have a scheduled meeting I can step out throughout the day for a check-in or walk. I have one cat at home and he is treated like he's the king of the house! He has a cat tree to watch the neighborhood wildlife through the window and get's treats for being brave after getting his daily medicine.

“David did a fantastic job watching our lab. He communicates very well and Lulu was obviously enjoying her time there. We will absolutely use David again. Highly recommend!”
“Robert was great with our senior dog, Diamond! He was very communicative and sent messages with photos of our girl during her 2 night stay. He was responsive to all messages and just all around pleasant. This is the first time we have boarded Diamond anywhere and she didn't come home stressed out! I will definitely book with Robert again because our dog was safe and comfortable.”
“Elizabeth was great communicating and letting us know the status of our dog Chico. We were very please with her care and services. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“Katie took really good care of Savana while I was away. Her doggies taught Savana how to go down the stairs, hopefully she'll follow me when I go down the stairs. I got pictures of Savana showing me she was safe and happy. Thank You”
“Where do I begin?! Literally from our meet and greet, I knew Angelique and her fur baby: Ozzy would make a great pair for Mocha! While I was on vacation, I never once worried about or doubted Mocha’s well-being. As Angelique sent plenty of photos and videos to keep me in the know. And just from observing the imagery, it was clear that Mocha was very happy and well-looked after! I am so happy and relieved to have met Angelique and Ozzy, and so will you! ?❤️”
“Lauren and Kevin & their lil nephew were loving to Lola. I glad she was comfortable in their home with their own pets. I always worry about that because Lola is use to being the only dog in the house. Upon pick up Kevin said they really loved having her and said she was really good so I was so relieved to hear that when you are leaving your pet with new people for 7 days. Thank you again for all the love and care you provided Lola while we were away!”
“I am so happy to have chosen to leave my little Jazz with Tonya! Her little boys and her fur babies were a delight and were very receptive of him! When I picked him up, Tonya had him looking so good and fluffy…I could tell she had taken time to brush him🙂 She was really patient with him and I most definitely would like to book with Tonya again in the future!”
“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!”
“So kind and caring! Pretty sure my dog didn’t want to come back. Really appreciate the communication and checking in. It’s nice to know someone is “caring” for you dog not just “watching” him. :)”

“Leslie was a great dog sitter for our pup, Jackson! She was very kind and took the time to get to know all of the important aspects of our dog. She sent us daily updates with pictures so we would know how things were going, and took great care of Jackson with plenty of walks and playtime.”
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 ❤️
“A GREAT stay at Kim’s as always! We had a bit more of a high maintenance stay this time as Lucy required some meds during her stay. Kim was happy to take care of it. She’s always so good to our girl!”
“5 stars for Lea and her family! Ellie had such a great stay there while we were away on a camping trip! Very communicative, easy to arrange pickup/dropoff and super friendly family overall. We will be using Lea in the future for sure. Thank you Lea!!”

“Repeat customer since 2019. Dawn is amazing! She treats my fur baby like her own and probably spoils him a little more. She’s patient, kind and dependable. We love Dawn! 🐾🫶🏾”
