“She was amazing with my dog Sunny! She sent me pictures and videos throughout her stay so I wouldn’t be worried. I will definitely consider her in the future and refer her to everyone.”
“Matt was wonderful! He took great care of our sweet pup for a week & sent great updates of him. It made going on vacation so much less stressful knowing our dog was being well taken care of and was having such a fun time! Thank you so much Matt!”
“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”
“Juli was absolutely amazing! Our pup was so well loved and taken care of during her stay. Juli gave us updates throughout the day and plenty of pictures. She made sure our dog had plenty of walks and her home was more than perfect for our dogs weekend stay. We will be returning customers for sure!”
“I left my dog bowls at home and she had some which was a life saver. She listened to all of my instructions and she responded very fast and sent pictures of Marley to me. I think I was more nervous than my Marley. Highly recommend and will use her in the future ?”
About: I’ve taken care of animals for 10+ years! It is arguably my favorite job I’ve had so far, as I prefer being with animals! I would love to provide the care that you do for your animals! I’m currently in nursing school and work, but love to prioritize pets any way I can! I walk my grandparents pups and love to help take care of any in anyway I can! When in a clients home, I love to just keep the routine as usual to ensure the animal still feels safe and loved! Almost as if I’m just a best friend they’ve known forever!
About: I’ve always been around animals and naturally treat pets like family. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal behavior, especially with nervous, energetic, or stubborn pets lol. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I try to keep them comfortable, safe, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m dependable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cleanup, and giving pets attention instead of just “checking in and leaving.” I also know how important communication is, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and pictures. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to being active throughout the day and handling responsibilities that require consistency and attention. I can work around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medication reminders, and playtime. I understand pets need stability and patience, especially when their owners are away, so I make sure they get attention, exercise, and care instead of just being left alone. I also try to stay flexible for last-minute needs when possible. Cats have their own quiet, separate space where they can feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed without needing to interact with dogs unless they’re comfortable doing so. I understand cats usually do best with calm environments, patience, and giving them space to adjust at their own pace. 🐱
About: I can’t remember the last time I wasn’t around a pet! I’ve been taking care of animals of all sizes ever since our family Rottweiler back in the 2000s. From energetic Dobermans to loyal shepherds (yes, I’ve got those too!), I have a natural bond with dogs of all breeds. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I love making sure pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. With me, your furry family member will be treated like one of my own! I also love training them too! I am currently running my own motorsports brand, so I have plenty of time and flexible dates to accommodate your furry family member! Any last minute requests are welcomed too! I truly enjoy long walks and caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I even have a Doberman myself, so I’m very comfortable with large, energetic pups as well as smaller, more delicate ones. 😊 I always listen carefully to the owner’s preferences and routines to make sure your dog feels safe and at home, even when you’re away. I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions you provide, and if I notice anything that could enhance your pet’s comfort or well being, I’d be happy to share suggestions. You can trust that your dog will receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention and your home will be respected as if it were my own. I’m here to make things as smooth and stress free as possible for both you and your furry family member. I listen to the owners suggestions for care in their home. If there are ideas or care taking steps I can add in, I will definitely propose that as well.
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy giving pets the attention, care, and affection they deserve. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and other pet care needs throughout the week. I’m happy to work with each pet’s normal schedule and can be flexible when needed. I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I will carefully follow any feeding, walking, medication, or care instructions you provide and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’ll make sure doors, gates, leashes, and crates are secure, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and doing well.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats and bunnies my whole life! I am happy to take care of your pets and love on them while you are away. I’m currently working Tuesday through Thursday 8-5. I’m available for long weekends or care during the week if your pet can be home alone for 8 hours during the day. I have a fenced in back yard, can walk dogs on a leash and can crate as needed. Animals of all kind bring me so much joy!

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.
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.
97% of sitters in Abernathy 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 Abernathy 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 Abernathy.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abernathy. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Abernathy 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 AL 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
