“These two not only truly love dogs, they treat all of their guests like their own Murphy had such a good time the first time there that he whined and barked happily as we drove close the second time. He loves the other dogs, and we plan on boarding with them again in the future. Such a sweet couple.”

“During the introduction, her dogs were a little aggressive and snipped a few times, but we both thought that we'd give it a try and agreed that they did not get along she could drop him off at my house and could routinely drop by and care for him there. Kristen and her family were great. I was a little nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but Kristen did such a good job those concerns went away pretty quick. They introduced their dogs with mine at a park beforehand and then routinely followed up with me with how he was doing while I was traveling. Definitely recommend.”

“Mimi took impeccable care of our Zsa Zsa! Tiny babies can be high maintenance and come with many needs but Mimi met them all with ease. We knew immediately Mimi was the best choice bc Zsa Zsa ran to her on drop off day just like a child runs to their favorite friend! We were delighted with pictures and updates throughout our vacation and that made it easy for us to fully enjoy our time away.”

About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.

About: I have hands-on experience working in a professional dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’ve also been boarding dogs in my own home for years, where they’re treated like part of the family. Most of my bookings have come through my Facebook business page, and I’m now joining Rover to connect with more clients and their pups! I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, caring for senior and high-energy dogs, and managing multiple dogs safely. I love sending owners photo updates so they can relax knowing their pup is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so caring for your pup fits naturally into my daily routine! I have plenty of time throughout the day for attention, playtime, and regular outdoor potty breaks. We have a very large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for play, exploring, and sniffing. Our neighborhood also has a private lake with a walking trail, so if your dog enjoys walks, we can work those into their stay too! Our days include a mix of activity and cozy downtime indoors. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, potty, and bedtime schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers to curl up nearby, I can adjust our routine to their needs. I also send daily photo updates so you can see how your pup is spending their time with us! I have a large fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and explore. Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and make themselves at home. I have professional daycare and boarding experience, along with a long list of regular clients outside of Rover who trust me with their dogs. I always follow each owner’s feeding, medication, crate, and routine instructions and send regular photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for.

About: I have had dogs my whole life ☺️ I have cared for my own as well as others for years. At my home safety is top priority. My baby recently passed. Rhett was my world for 15 years and my home just isn’t the same without him. I would love to watch your fur baby🙂 and give them love and affection in your absence. I work from home and can give your baby 100% attention. We go on many potty breaks and times to snoop in the yard. I would love to host your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard. My 6 pound baby loved running and playing in the yard. No way to escape. Plenty of squirrels to run after!

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 Battleground 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 Battleground.

<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 Battleground 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.
