Once meeting Sore I felt completely at ease, leaving cowboy with them.. I received updates, with pictures every day to see my boy was doing fine.

“Ronda and her family made sure my baby was right at home. I was struggling trying to find somewhere to keep my big baby that wouldn’t keep him in a crate all day until someone could come get him out to play with him! Ronda made sure I was comfortable as well as Griffey with his stay with her. I can’t wait to use her again for my baby cause I know he enjoyed himself there with her!! Thank you so much for making sure my baby was safe and comfortable during his stay with you!”

“Christen and her family were absolutely amazing to my two pups. I contacted her on very short notice when I had a work emergency, and she was so prompt and communicative. Onyx and Opal had a great time, a lot of cuddles, and they were very well cared for. Will definitely rebook, and I recommend to anyone!”

“Thank you Arthur and your wife for taking such good care of my fur babies.

Upon Mercedes return home, she was happy and full of energy. She didn’t like the diaper, but was very happy. She even goes outside for the bathroom now. Thanks Ashley for taking care of my little one. I’m glad I found you on Rover. Would recommend her totally.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up with a family-owned 12-run dog kennel, so caring for multiple dogs and understanding their different personalities has always been part of my life. I’m also a proud cat owner, with two cats of my own, Greyson and Suzy Q! Having both cats and dogs has given me experience understanding their different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I know cats deserve just as much attention and personalized care as dogs, whether that means playtime, affection, or simply respecting their space. I also have personal experience caring for a Great Dane with megaesophagus, a condition that requires specialized feeding and extra attention. Through caring for Maggie, I’ve gained hands-on experience with special feeding routines, upright feeding, monitoring for regurgitation, and caring for dogs with unique medical needs. This has given me an even greater understanding of the patience, dedication, and attention to detail that special-needs pets require. Today, I care for every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and a safe environment. My property is equipped with 24/7 security camera surveillance for added safety and peace of mind, and I provide regular photo and video updates so you’ll always know how your furry family member is doing. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I work during the day on weekdays, but every dog receives fresh water, morning and evening feedings, exercise, and plenty of attention before and after work. I’m home on weekends, allowing for extra playtime, interaction, and one-on-one care. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected with your pup throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My property is fully fenced and monitored with 24/7 security camera surveillance. Dogs have access to a clean, secure environment, and I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and care preferences. I take the time to make every dog feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for as if they were part of my own family.

“Kendall and her husband were AMAZING!!! I went out of town for a week and was very anxious about leaving my pup for so long, but they took such great care of her and treated her like she was their own. She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated on how everything was going throughout the week. My 11 yo lab and her two dogs got along great and were best buddies by the end. I would definitely recommend Kendall to anyone and hope to board with her again the next time I go out of town!”

About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I am so excited to have the opportunity to watch your favorite companion! I have been taking care of my dog and other's as well for about 16 years. Their safety and happiness is my number one priority. I will give your animal all the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away! As a former Zookeeper and current Veterinary Assistant, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to take care of animals of all sizes and shapes. I currently have three French Bulldogs that get along with any dog and are always down for a puppy play date. If you are looking for dog boarding in my home your pet must be pet friendly because of this, up to date on vaccines, and a meet and greet will be required before hand. If you are only looking for drop in visits or dog walking they will stay home and a meet and greet will not be required. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope I can meet your favorite family member soon! I currently work as a vet assistant at a speciality and emergency practice in Birmingham. I work overnights on the weekends so I’m completely free during the week. If your pet is staying during the weekend my partner is free while I’m not home to take care of our furry guests! I can do whatever is needed to make your dog feel safe! We can walk them on a leash, use a fenced in backyard, crate them when we leave, etc.

About: I’ve had 10+ Dogs, 5 Cats, 5 Quails, 6 Birds, 5 Fish, and 5 Hamsters I’ve had so many pets it’s unreal most likely over 45+ pets in my whole experience of living and I’ve only been here for 18 years! I’ve bathed them, walked them, cared for them, trained them, and even gave them the best time of their life before they hit rainbow bridge I still think of them to this day and hope they’re happy for me trying to bring my experience to the world! I have graduated and now I’m out of school looking for pets to take care of! I can’t drive yet because I don’t have my license so you’d have to do dropoffs I can only watch them for a period of time and not after 8:00PM since it’s not my house but I hope you can trust me! I always give them love and attention whenever needed I always make sure they’re bug-free, fed, watered, walked, and bathed when needed they don’t need meds so I’m not too experienced with that so that would be new to me! I’m always down to learn new things and how things work! But my fur babies are my top priority and will always be taken care of as needed

About: I grew up with dogs and truly can’t imagine life without them (no offense to my cat people 🥰). Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me—I love learning their personalities, reading their cues, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve cared for everything from small breeds to extra-large pups like Great Danes, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. I’m especially attentive to details—whether that’s sticking to routines, administering medications if needed, or simply making sure your dog gets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys spoiling pups (in the best way!). I’m very responsive and prioritize regular updates and photos so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. I love being active and spending time outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I truly enjoy—not just a task to check off. My goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited for our time together, and for you to feel completely confident they’re in good hands. hi, my name is Alyse!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Appalachian 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 Appalachian.

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 Appalachian 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.
