“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 🤍”
“Savannah was great! She even sat down with my dog, who is terrified of grooming, and brushed through her ridiculously large amount of fur for 45 minutes! You can tell she has a love for animals.”
“Our puppy always feels at home with Jessica. It’s clear that Jessica deeply cares for the dogs she takes care of and we are very grateful. Jessica is our first call whenever we go out of town. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Kristen was absolutely amazing! This was the first time I was leaving my cat with anyone and I was so nervous, she made me feel so much better! She sent me daily updates and pictures and was so patient when my cat was not so happy around the dog to begin with! I would HIGHLY recommend her and will have her keep Luna again if I ever need it!”
“He took such great care of my little pup! When I picked up my dog after his first 4 day stay with Doug, he was happy and settled (he is a sensitive dog! So I know if hasn’t been well with someone). I’m so grateful, Doug was wonderful!”
“Opal was amazing! She took on our sweet guy for a last minute booking. We received constant updates throughout his stay. She was very detailed oriented in getting to know him and what made him comfortable. We felt like he was safe and loved in our absence. We will absolutely we booking with her in the future.”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing and Bella had such a great time being with her for the night! She was super communicative about how Bella was doing and sent me lots of pics and all around very responsive and easy to work with! Will definitely call on her again! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“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.”
“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!”
“Over Labor Day weekend, I needed someone to look after my two pups while I headed to the beach...one of them is just shy of 4 months old and not yet eligible for boarding. Britteny was fantastic and assured me it wouldn’t be a problem. She kept me updated with plenty of photos each day, and it was clear they were having a blast. The pups had time to play in her backyard throughout the day, which was clean, safe (nice neighborhood), and secure (fenced), giving me real peace of mind while I was away. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Tatiana took very good care of Benny! She sent daily pictures and messages. She was also very flexible when my flight was delayed. I would definitely recommend her for your pet!”
“I am a first-time Rover user. I reached out to Kimberley on the Friday before I was to leave on a Wednesday trip - so SUPER late. She responded immediately and was very open to a meet-and-greet between our fur children the next day. She was extremely warm and inviting to my baby and me. Our drop-off on the day of the trip was quick and easy, and we received photos and updates while we were away. Kimberley and her family not only love dogs but are also good with them. Kimberley is very communicative, professional, and kind. My baby, Verona, really enjoyed making new friends with her dogs and family. I will definitely be reaching out to Kimberley again to assist with my dog-watching needs, and I would highly recommend her to others.”
“Jonathan and family were so kind and took great care of our dog Sookie. They were very accommodating and did a great job of communicating while we were out of town. I would 100% use Jonathan again to keep our doggie. Thank you!”
“Danielle was great in providing pictures of our pet and taking care of him while we were out of town. Would definitely ask her to watch our pet again in the future!”
“I've left my dog with Jordyn multiple times now and he always has a blast. Jordyn is very attentive to Hamlet's dietary restrictions and health. She always sends me updates on his day with pictures. I am so grateful that I can leave town without worrying about my sweet boy, because I know he is having a blast. If you have a dog that loves to play and socialize, definitely consider leaving your dog with her.”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“Marilyn is a fantastic pet sitter—friendly, very accommodating with last-minute changes, and clearly cares a lot for the animals in her care. She took great care of our pup and we definitely recommend her services!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alabaster on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 329 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 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.
97% 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.
