“I would totally recommend having Sogol as a dog sitter. I had zero worries having her dog sit my dog. She took very well care of Coco, and I would totally use her as a dog sitter again. She would send pictures and videos very frequently, which caused less worry for my trip. She took very excellent care for my dog and I was very satisfied as Coco also loved her lots.”
“Thanks Adam and Ying! I left Saginaw with them for a quick 48h work trip. They are my go-to sitters for their flexibility and proximity to my home. Saginaw knows them well and is super excited to go see them!”
“Monica is absolutely awesome! She is so kind and sent lots of funny updates when I was out of town to keep me in the loop. My dog was all smiles when I picked him up. He slept for like 2 days straight after getting home so they must have stayed busy & had lots of fun lol. Looking forward to boarding with her again in the future. Thanks again!”
“We had great experience with Kadi. She is very loving and caring person. Our dog Milo enjoyed at her place and was very happy as he got friends there to play with ( Kadi’s 2 dogs) . She kept sending updates and pics. She followed all the instructions perfectly. We love her.”
“What an amazing host family! Tanuja took all the appropriate steps to make me and spice feel welcome and comfortable with this being a first time host. We had a meet and greet so both dogs could get comfortable with each other and after that moved towards hosting. She kept me well informed and was very thorough with making sure she had everything to care for spice. I would definitely book again with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asked.”
“Kind, friendly, so easy to work with. Rahied made what was an anxious situation for me, completely worry-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker. I knew my furry friend was in good hands right at the moment I met Rahied. I have no reservations about recommending him.”
“Luna had a wonderful time at Vicki’s house! She went on walks, enjoyed her time with their dog and felt completely comfortable there! We were also sent lots of pictures and updates. We would definitely have Luna stay there again!”
“Linda was amazing! She sent daily updates of how our doggie was doing and sent plenty of photos. She was very communicative and conscientious, and you can tell she really loves dogs and is dedicated to providing a great experience for them. Bandit loved his stay at her home!”

LaTasha is amazing! My GSP, Missy, takes daily meds for anxiety, so I was naturally worried about leaving her for a week. LaTasha handled it flawlessly! Missy adjusted so well to her new surroundings. I loved getting regular updates and photos, which totally put my mind at ease. LaTasha is incredibly sweet, caring, trustworthy, and was so accommodating with the drop-off and pick-up times. I will absolutely use her again—thank you so much, LaTasha!
Dianne and Judi went above and beyond in taking care of my dog, Saffron, so much so that I feel the urge to book another trip somewhere just so I can entrust her to their care once more. She spent 8 days with them while I was away on a camping trip. Having spent one night with them before, Saffron was comfortable with them immediately and didn't utter a peep after I left. Dianne updated me daily on how Saffron was doing and sent pictures and videos. They walked her several times a day, played with her, created a "gravy" for her dry kibble by mixing it with water, had her perform her tricks for them in exchange for treats, and most importantly, they spent time snuggling with her on the couch and let her sleep with them each night. Knowing that she's mischievous and has a penchant for getting into things, one of them always kept a close eye on her, and she was never left alone; when they say "24/7 care," they truly mean it! Additionally, she celebrated her birthday with them while she was in their home, and they took care to mold her food into special birthday shapes. Moreover, they also ordered her a special birthday dress and crown which they let her wear home, which astounded and touched me deeply. I truly believe they love and care for her just as much as I do. The entire time I was away, I felt at ease knowing Saffron was in more than capable hands. Bringing her home with me was bittersweet, as I could tell they were reluctant to bid her farewell, and I knew she'd miss them too. I am extremely picky regarding to whom I'll entrust my dog, but I wholeheartedly recommend Dianne and Judi. They are worth the round-trip 1 1/2-hour drive for me. If you want dedicated, loving, hands-on care for your pet, you want Dianne and Judi.
Anna was a wonderful pet sitter. Ozzy stayed with her for the first time for 3 days and he truly didn’t want to leave. He genuinely missed Anna and her dog when we took him home. She sent multiple pictures each day so that I could see how content he was. I will definitely be booking Anna again and highly recommend her.
Christina and her family were the perfect fit for my frenchie Coco. They went above and beyond to make her part of their family and Coco had the best time. Christina sent lots of photos and updates and was overall great with communication! We are so happy to have found such a reliable and great sitter for our girl.
Heidi once again was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our sweet dog while we were away! She’s so thorough and sends so many updates. Copper always looks so so happy there! So grateful for Heidi and all her help with Copper, we always know she’s in the best care at Heidi’s!
Casey is an amazing dog boarder! She went above and beyond by walking my dog even more than I do at home. I loved receiving the photo updates throughout the stay—it really gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and well cared for. Her house is warm and cozy, and my dog clearly felt right at home. I highly recommend Casey and would absolutely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Birmingham on Rover is $60 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,602 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Birmingham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
95% of Birmingham sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Birmingham landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Birmingham 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 Birmingham.
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 Birmingham 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 MI 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.
