“Katie is AMAZING. Took such good care of my fur child. All the kids and doggos spoiled my dog with cuddles and attention. She was easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures, and allowed us to do a meet and greet first. Will absolutely use her in the future.”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Our boy always has the best time with Kyler and her furtastic buddies! I especially appreciate that she really listens, and is attentive to all of our baby’s needs, including working around his allergies and sensitive tummy. She clearly loves the pups and I enjoy seeing the daily photo updates of them playing. A great experience all around!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Danielle’s dog boarding service! She took such wonderful care of Chyna, and it was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Danielle kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Chyna came back happy, well-rested, and clearly loved on the entire time. Danielle treated her like family, and I’m beyond grateful for the safe, clean, and nurturing environment she provided. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals—Danielle is it! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. 🐾💕”
“Jonathan and family provided a home away from home for our doggo. It was a long trip for us—6 days—and I was worried about our pup. But he thrived! It was such a great relief for me. I’m so grateful!”
“We love Jordyn! She’s kept our dogs a few times. She is so accommodating, and our girls LOVE her. They get so excited when they see her. It’s the best feeling knowing they’re having as much as we do when we go out of town!”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”
“Iris is great with communication and updating information for my girl. I was little worried before I sent my dog since she has some anxiety, but it turns out great experience with Iris. She is always available, let Sandi out every 2-3 hours, plus her family member and her dog are very nice and friendly. Definitely going back again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bleu!!! Ryan was great with Bleu, he sent photo updates, answered and replied to all my questions which gave me peace of mind. We had to change the dates bc we had an emergency and missed our flight. Ryan was so flexible and understanding. Ryan also has a lovely Mom and Dad, they’re a wonderful family and Bleu literally didn’t want to leave. I was shocked!! Im definitely booking Ryan again!!! Even if we arent going out of town I’ll be booking again just so she can visit her friend!!”
“Randy did an amazing job of watching my Suki. When I dropped her off he showed me around his house and yard, so I could see where she’d be living while I was away. His home is gorgeous with a really amazing backyard she can run around in. He sent me plenty of pictures and videos so I could see how she was doing. He really went above and beyond. He took her to the pet store and got her a new toy, took her to the dog park multiple times, even gave her a bath and got a special dog shampoo for her. I’ve used this app a lot and never had anyone do as much for my dog as he did. I couldn’t believe he’d been on the app so long and my dog was the first one he’d watched. I’d 10000% recommend Randy to watch your fur baby if you want the peace of mind of knowing they’ll be treated like family. I’d give him 10 stars if I could. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks again Randy!”
“Laura was amazing! She agreed to keep my dog at the last minute when I was scrambling for care. I was nervous since this was my first time using someone for boarding, but Laura quickly eased my fears. Murphy had a blast and came home happy and exhausted. Will definitely use her in the future!”
“Amazing experience after adopting three young dogs from the Humane Society. It is so rare for us to board any of our pets. Normally we would board with our Vet. No openings led me to rover.com and to Jessica S. She was amazing and kept us in the loop with comments and adorable videos. Such a relief! Thank you Jessica S. for taking such loving care. Craig and Susan E.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sac was wonderful with my dog, April! She took great care of him and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. April came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It was clear that Sac treated him like her own dog. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Sac, for taking such great care of April!”
“Amazing dog sitter! Lauren kept me updated the entire stay with our pups. She made my dogs feel comfortable and was flexible with drop off and pick up scheduling. Would definitely recommend her and rebook her!”
About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“The best dog sitter I have found yet!!! My dog absolutely loves her! She communicates with you the entire time and keeps you updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I will definitely be using her over and over again! Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”

“Jordan gave me peace of mind❤️ I knew with out a doubt that my Sadie would be loved and taken care of! I am so thankful for Jordan and her whole family, she stayed in contact and sent pictures everyday! She’s the best❤️❤️❤️”
“Our puppy had the best stay with Katie!!!! She was welcomed with a very excited embrace by Katie's sweet daughter, and every day we received great updates from Katie (and adorable photos) on how Ellie was doing!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alabaster
I travel a good bit for work and fun. So naturally I want to ensure that my little buddy Duke is well taken care of in my absence. We have enjoyed some really great sitters in the several years that we’ve been a part of the Rover community. But hands down Kayla B. was by far THEE best sitter we have ever experienced in 12 years of being a dog mom. Her genuine care, love, and concern for animals is exceptional. Her communication was wonderful and quick. Thanks to Kayla, I even have a picture collage of Duke for keepsake. She went above and beyond to check his tongue when I thought I saw a rash in a picture. This was the first time my dog was torn when it was time to come home. I could tell he missed Kayla and her family instantly. She is our forever sitter as long as she’s doing this.
★★★★★ Absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Hampton and Willow, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She went above and beyond when I unexpectedly got a flat tire and even brought the dogs home to me so I didn’t have to worry about getting them. That meant so much to me! She was kind, dependable, communicative, and truly treated my dogs like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies! 🐾❤️
Princess was an amazing sitter! She gave me great updates throughout the stay and was incredibly patient and loving with my shy dog. She took the time to make her feel comfortable and safe to come out of her shell. I’m so grateful for the care and will definitely rebook with her!
Carli is very sweet and accommodating to your needs! This was our first time using Rover and had a terrific experience. She checked in multiple times throughout the day with updates and pictures of our girls. She has a wonderful demeanor and attitude for pet sitting and followed instructions clearly, even accommodating to changes. We will absolutely be using her in the future!
Second time leaving our young dog with Stephanie and she was amazing (as always!) We will absolutely return to the Puppy Ranch in the future! Stephanie kept us updated daily and sent pictures. Our dog had a blast playing with Stephanie’s dogs and was clearly sad to leave! 😂 Thanks again, Stephanie!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Alabaster
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alabaster is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $50 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.
As of October 2026, there are 318 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alabaster. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Alabaster 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 Alabaster home-away-from-home, 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 Alabaster.
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 Alabaster 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 , 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 .
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.
