“Katie and her family took such good care of my dog while I was out of town. She took her on walks, played with her, gave her treats, cuddled her, and sent lots of pictures and updates!! I could not have asked for someone better to take care of Rory girl 🤍”
“10 out of 10!!!! Would HIGHLY recommend Savannah!! It was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and she was a perfect fit! She sent texts/pictures of our dog with updates, that just made me feel relieved and less stressed. We will be using her services again for sure!!!”
“Melody and Nala really love to stay at Kristen’s house. Kristen and her family are really prepare to take care of our dogs and are so nice and loving with Melody and Nala. We are lucky to have found Kristen 🙌🏻”
“Jessica was great with my pup! Made sure to send lots of pictures and videos and made sure he had plenty of play time to get all of his energy out. Would definitely use her again!”
“Doug is a very thoughtful and kind sitter. He took excellent care of my elderly puppy and kept me updated on how she was doing. I am very thankful that he was able to take care of her while we were away!”
“Opol was a godsend . Poppie seemed really happy and comfortable. I would.most definitely use her again! Her communication was awesome and he ate all his food. Thank you again!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Thank u David for taking care of my baby Jasper. I will be reaching out when I need your help again, he came home even more spoilt than when he went but I’m fine with that it just u took good care of him!👍🏾😂”
“Ashlyn was wonderful! She took great care of Bob and he didn't want to leave her. She sent updates of how he was settling in along with pictures. I strongly recommend her and I will certainly use her again.”
“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!”
“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“Brittney’s yard is great for the dogs to run and explore. She also provides daily pictures and comments. We had so much peace of mind versus Elle being boarded in a kennel.”
“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”
“Kimberley and her family were wonderful hosts for Bailey!!!! We had a meet and greet first, and she was very gentle with Bailey with the introduction of her other two cute pups! I really appreciated that! With the stay, she sent pictures and updated me! I really enjoyed meeting her and her family and loved that she took great care of him! She has become definitely my number 1 rover sitter!”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“Nancy was fantastic with our two pups! Our babies stayed for 3 nights and were so well loved and cared for. Nancy sent us pics of them snuggling and running around in her yard. She has an entire doggy room in her home! She’s stocked on kennels/bowls and has a little doggy door for the dogs to go out. It’s very clear she loves dogs and has put so much time and love into that room and her pet sitting business. She even sent our dogs home with little goody bags! We will definitely send our dogs back 🤍”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alabaster
★★★★★ 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!
My dog Duke had an AMAZING stay with Rachel and her family. She sent a ton of pictures and the cutest video while I was away and made his first stay unforgettable. Her home is so welcoming and comfy because she literally has a doggy AirBnB for your pet that makes them feel right at home with lots of space and yard to play and rest. I look forward to booking again and again with her in the future.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alabaster on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Alabaster sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Alabaster landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alabaster 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 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 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.
