“Barrie has been our go-to dog sitter for our dog Jackson for 2 years now! Jackson cries with excitement every time we pull into her driveway! We never worry about Jackson when he’s with Barrie and always get pictures and videos to keep us updated. We can’t recommend Barrie enough!”
“We cannot express enough gratitude for Ryan and his wonderful family for taking care of our beloved dog, Lola, during our recent family trip. From the moment we met them, we knew Lola was in the best hands. Ryan and his family were incredibly thoughtful, caring, and gentle with her, treating Lola as if she were their own. Lola can be quite shy and anxious around new people, but under their loving care, she felt safe and happy. Ryan's attentiveness and the warmth of his family truly shone through, making Lola's time away from us comfortable and stress-free. The updates and pictures they sent showed us just how much love and attention Lola was receiving, and it brought us immense peace of mind. We are deeply touched by the kindness and compassion Ryan and his family showed Lola. They went above and beyond to ensure she felt loved and secure. It's not easy to leave a cherished pet behind, but knowing Lola was with such amazing people made all the difference. We are forever grateful for their exceptional care and the genuine love they shared with our sweet girl. Thank you, Ryan, for being such a wonderful caretaker. Your kindness will always be remembered.”
“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.”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Merelee was extremely accommodating on a last minute booking. Walter had no trouble getting acclimated and making a new friend. We will definitely reach out to her for a re-booking when in the area!”
“Jennifer was so great with my boys! I had them stay for the weekend with her while I moved and I could easily tell how much she loved them. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!”
“Shelby is the best! Ron loved hanging out with her all week. She kept us updated everyday and answered all our questions promptly. She made our first experience with Rover fantastic! Would 1000% recommend!!”
“Kordell was gracious and patient. Smokey and I have never been away from each other. I had the separation anxiety. Smokey was just fine. Kordell gained his trust and the rest is history. Kordell sent pictures which reassured me Smokey aa was fine.. He was happy and energetic when I picked him up. I was almost jealous. Kordell”
“Katherine watched my pooch Bella and with every picture she texted me, Bella looked very excited, happy and loved while we were away for the Mother's Day weekend at that! Thank you soooo very much Katherine for watching Bella for me! I will definitely keep you as my puppy sitter! You were absolutely wonderful!! 🤗”
“Ashley is wonderful! She is incredibly attentive, caring, and thoughtful with our dogs, Peaches and Max. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about their comfort and well-being, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in her care. She’s also extremely easy to communicate and coordinate with, which makes the entire experience stress-free. We feel very lucky to have found someone we trust so much with our dogs and would absolutely recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“We feel so blessed to have "met" Shay & Zach! Our dog had so much fun playing with their dogs and I loved getting text message photos while we were away. Our flight was a bit later than expected and they had no problem with us picking our dog up at 9:45 pm. Also, I accidentally booked an extra day and didn't notice- Shay brought this to my attention and refunded us! I 100% trust them with our dog and already have multiple other stays booked with them! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Danielle’s dog boarding service! She took such wonderful care of Chyna, and it was clear from the start that she truly loves and understands dogs. Danielle kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Chyna came back happy, well-rested, and clearly loved on the entire time. Danielle treated her like family, and I’m beyond grateful for the safe, clean, and nurturing environment she provided. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals—Danielle is it! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. 🐾💕”
“I have left my dogs with Lauren twice and have been more than happy. Nothing is better than knowing my babies are getting love and care while I am away. One of my dogs is very selective with people and I can tell she really likes being with Lauren. Definitely the first sitter I contact when Im going out of town!”
“Deby was amazing with our dog Hobie! She sent us videos and pictures daily of our guy enjoying his weekend with her. Her niece was so sweet with Hobie and was an amazing playmate for our pup - we are so glad he was able to get playtime and cuddles in with kids. He loves it and I know he will miss her! I appreciate Deby’s thoroughness and care! We will absolutely be reaching out to Deby to care for our pup in the future!”
“It was Harry's first time and looked like he had a great time !!! He enjoyed his walks and interaction with other dogs. Timely updates of him and pictures really helped us be at ease We highly recommend Briana. Thank you for taking such good care of him .. Will rebook without second thoughts.”
“Charlie and family were great! Took our dog Terrance for a last minute weekend booking. Kept us updated with regular pics and texts. Would definitely use again. Thanks so much!!”

There are 341 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bessemer. About 92% of Bessemer sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
