“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.”

About: I have taken care of my dog since I was 10. Whenever I visit friends and family, I always show the dogs all the love, because they deserve it 🥰. I can handle anything from big dogs as well as the little ones with small dog syndrome! Im currently in medical school so I can spend plenty of time and walk between study session. My family is also often home to provide extra love and care for your pet! I always respect and follow any directions from the dogs’s owner. The well-being of all animals, including dogs of course, is very important to me.
“Carolina was absolutely amazing with Dixie. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in caring and capable hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and gave so much love and attention to my Dixie —it was clear she genuinely care about dogs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a tidy space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”
“We are really lucky to have found Angelina and her husband. They are excellent caregivers. The dogs are walled multiple times a day and they send pictures and communicate throughout the day. It’s always nice to see my dogs happy and loved while I’m away. Thank you!”
“Exceptional Care for Luka: A Heartfelt Review for Vinata's Family cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided to Luka by Vinata's family dog. From the moment we dropped off our beloved furry family member, we knew he was in good hands. The level of attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction.Throughout Luka's stay, we received regular updates, including photos which truly eased our minds and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing he was happy and well-cared for. It was evident that the dog sitter went above and beyond to ensure Luka felt comfortable and loved, providing ample playtime, walks, and cuddles..Their patience and understanding truly set them apart.Returning home, we found Luka happy, healthy, and perhaps even a little reluctant to leave his newfound friends. It's clear that he formed a bond with the dog sitter and their family, which speaks volumes about the level of care and affection he received.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Vinata's family dog sitter to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate care for their furry companions. Their dedication to providing a safe and nurturing environment for pets is truly commendable, and we are immensely grateful for the peace of mind they provided during our time away. Thank you for treating Luka like a member of your own family!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
Erica was absolutely phenomenal! She took care of our sweet girl as she was her own, was wonderful with all the medications, dietary/feeding sensitivities, sent updates as well as pictures throughout our 12 day trip. Lulu always appeared very comfortable, happy and was given plenty of snuggles as well as TLC. Highly recommend!
My experience was awesome. This was my first time using Rover and Sogol v made this the best experience ever. She was friendly, showed my pup and myself love. I felt so comfortable because she went above and beyond with her selfless personality. She sent pictures and communicated with me daily. I would recommend her to anyone looking to use this service. You can feel the love she has for animals and people. I can't thank her enough and will use her again.
Shannon was so kind and friendly! She shared photos of my dog and even had fun toys for her to enjoy that she hadn’t tried before, as well as enjoyed her fenced in yard. This was my first time using Rover and after a meet and greet, it put my mind at rest. Rhubarb had a great time away during the 4th of July! Thank you so much, Shannon!

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.
