“Donna did a wonderful job at making my little Lucy comfortable while we traveled! I believe it has benefited her to be able to spend time with her doggie pals and her new Auntie and Uncle! Donna is excellent at boarding. I highly recommend!❤️”
“Steven welcomed our two sister mini-dachshunds into his house for a week while my family went on vacation. As these are senior dogs (15+), they do have some special needs, but Steven handled both with care and attention while sending us daily updates with pictures. We are so grateful for Steven and his family for the care they gave to our babies.”
“Aram kept my dog for a full day and overnight stay, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of my boy and kept me updated throughout his stay with photos, videos, and frequent messages. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. Aram has a beautiful home with a huge backyard that my dog absolutely loved. He clearly had an amazing time! If you’re looking for a dog sitter, Aram is the best there is! You will not be disappointed. She is officially my go-to dog sitter from now on! Thank you so much, Aram, for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️🐾”
“I was very nervous on leaving my dog with a sitter but Kira was sooo kind and patiently explain all the things cap would do and sent me photos of him. 10/10 will book again”
“Shume was fantastic! We had never used Rover before, but all of our usual dog watchers were unable to accommodate a last minute trip we needed to take. We found Shume on Rover and she was able to accommodate us. She was very communicative and responsive. Our dog loved her, and seemed very comfortable with her. When we picked her up, she was healthy, happy, and safe! We highly recommend Shume to care for your fur babies.”
“Kelsey and her family always does such a great job with our pup! He was so excited to see her again when she came to pick him up. And he’s always so exhausted when he comes home which is a sign he had a great time! Great communication the whole time she had him, too!”
“We enjoyed our experience leaving our dog with Benjamin. She came home happy and looked like she was well taken care of. We received several pictures of her while we were gone. We would definitely book with Benjamin again. He was easy to communicate with us and happy to show us around his facilities.”
“Kia was so accommodating with my last minute booking. My Remi and her Ozzy have become the best of buds lol. Glad I was able to find her. Will definitely be booking with her again for my boarding needs.”
“It was my first time using Rover and Alex immediately made me feel comfortable boarding my dog with her over the Thanksgiving holiday. Her home and yard are clean and safe for animals, and she was great about sending daily updates. I will definitely hire her next time we go out of town!”
“Chad and Adrienne took wonderful care of Ravioli! We were a little nervous about needing a Rover since Ravioli recently injured his leg and is taking meds, but they monitored him closely and kept us reassured. They sent daily updates with photos, and we picked up a very happy dog! I wholeheartedly recommend them as hosts, and I’d be happy to send our pup there again in the future!”

“Crosby had a great time with Erin’s family! He had a chance to be social with other dogs, and he didn’t have to sit around in a cage all week.I highly recommend Erin!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, administering routine medications, and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I have experience with both easygoing dogs and dogs who are more anxious and need extra patience and reassurance. As a lifelong pet owner and registered nurse, I’m dependable, attentive to details, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I’m new to Rover, so while I may not have reviews here yet, I’m not new to caring for animals. I’m looking forward to getting to know local families, building trust within our community, and becoming someone you can feel completely comfortable calling when your pets need care. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat yours with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m home much of the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m also able to accommodate different schedules and give your pets plenty of attention rather than squeezing visits into a busy workday. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I can crate dogs if needed and will always prioritize their safety and comfort. I’m also comfortable dropping in for pets in their own home, where I’ll respect your space and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care.
About: I’m caring for a five year old Siberian Husky with my wife. I’m good at handling strong pulling breeds and I love spending time in play and taking pictures of them! I’m currently working a job on Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri with flexibility. I’m usually open for weekend boards and Wednesday drop ins. Hope to open my schedule to more of this work in the future. I have a spacious 2 bed. Your dog can be separated from mine and/or crated. We have access to a large community double sided dog park.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Austinville
Michelle took amazing care of Coco while we were away for a whole month. She truly treated Coco like her own dog and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and comfortable. Michelle even bought Coco new treats, which was such a thoughtful gesture and showed how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Coco was in such loving hands. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

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 Austinville 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 Austinville.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Austinville 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.
