“Great experience. Large fenced in backyard gave my Corgi lots of room to run and play with Corey's black lab, Abbey. Highly recommend using Corey as a "home away from home" for your pet. ”

“This was my first time to use Rover.com for finding a local pet sitter to take care of my two dogs. I chose Terwin due to all of her positive reviews. I was most pleased for the care she gave my dogs while I was away from home. I received photos of my dogs while under her care which helped to ease the anxiety of wondering how my dogs were adapting. I highly recommend Terwin and I certainly will use her service again!”

About: I’ve owned various animals since I was little and have always been the one to feed, bathe, and overall take care and love on them! I’m a college student with currently all AM classes ending at 12 pm. I am free Mondays, Wednesday, and Friday after 12, Tuesdays and thursdays after 11, and free anytime on the weekends! In my home I have a back porch that is fenced in, I also use leashes and harness to take my dogs on walks outside in nature and own a crate for a small dog that I can definitely use for other animals if the owner requested so!

About: I have a fully-fenced half acre and turn out dogs accordingly. Playing fetch, frisbee or dog pool when the weather is right. I am home through-out the day and night. My dog guests play in the back yard as I supervise, have access to the couch and bed or can be crated. Experienced in dog sporting events, medications and separation anxiety. Owners provide their own food. Crates available if needed. My life is centered around my dogs and I work from home. I have extra crates available if needed or your fur baby can supervise me as I work. Dogs are never left outside unattended. Dogs are let out either separately or with another depending on temperament. Dogs are all fed separately to avoid any conflicts. The splash pad is available every time they go outside if they choose to play with it along with oodles of toys. Dog poo removed immediately to ensure a safer yard environment.

Susan was a wonderful sitter and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is kind and accommodating to take care of their dog. She sent regular updates that included pictures and made us feel at ease that our dog was being well taken care of. Our dog seemed relaxed and comfortable and had plenty of attention and time outside. Thank you Susan!

My golden Clark stayed with Susan for 9 days while we went on a trip. Susan sent pictures and we were able to fully enjoy our time away because we knew Clark was in good hands. Due to recent medical issues, Clark has required medications daily and Susan was very receptive and helpful in making sure he didn’t miss a dose. Will definitely rebook for our next trip!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Barnwell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Barnwell is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $72 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 November 2026, there are 296 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barnwell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Barnwell 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 Barnwell 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 Barnwell.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barnwell. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

You and your Barnwell 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.

Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
