“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”
“Megan and her boys were amazing with my older pup, Brady! They gave him tons of cuddles and walks and frankly spoiled him. Megan is very communicative and sends tons of updates and photos. Thank you!”
“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.”
“I'm so grateful to have found Alex and Georgi, Oscar is in such good hands with them! I was nervous to travel out of the country because Oscar was not feeling well and had several prescription medicines to take, but they were totally on top of it and kept him healthy and happy :) Lots of great updates and photos the entire week... best dog sitters ever!”
“Irv was absolutely fantastic! I needed someone to watch Shadow while in Troy for an event (less than 2 days in the middle of a road trip)- he took Shadow in and made him the most spoiled dog around. He communicated so well from the moment I requested the booking, after confirming, and while he had Shadow up until I picked him up. He sent many photos and clearly has a lot of experience and expertise with dogs. He made me and Shadow feel so comfortable. I highly recommend Irv, and wish he lived local to me to use him more often. Your dog will be in amazing hands!!”
“Vinata and her family were wonderful. They were very communicative and sent us videos and photos of our pup multiple times a day, which helped us stay connected. Bentley seemed to have a great time!”
“Enaes did a fantastic job handling my very nervous pooch and was very flexible when I was stuck out of town due to the weather. She provided updates and I felt comfortable having Pheo in her care.”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic! Hazel loved her time there. She was happy and tired (in a great way) when we picked her up. Carolina had excellent communication and took Hazel for a nice walk in the neighborhood, her favorite thing to do. Am definitely using Carolina again!”
“Anirudh did a wonderful job taking care of our Luna! He was very caring, responsible, and attentive to her needs. We felt completely comfortable knowing Luna was in good hands while we were away. He kept us updated and treated Luna with so much love and care. We truly appreciate everything he did and would definitely recommend Anirudh to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We would happily have him take care of Luna again! 🐾❤️”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
“Danielle and Steve (and Porthos) have become my dachshund Maverick’s best friends. They are excellent pet caregivers and they are accommodating and flexible in their availability. I highly recommend them.”
“Cody was so great with our golden retriever, Snoop! His dog seemed to get along well with Snoop and it was great to know he was in a good environment being well taken care of!”
“Susan was very sweet and caring. Our dog, Marty had a great stay with her. She cared for him as if he was part of their family. She was a great communicator, and sent regular status and photo updates. She was very accommodating and did everything she could to help Marty feel more at home. We will definitely be rebooking next time we head out of town.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 10 years. Experience with active dogs, elderly dogs and everything in between. Flexible schedule and last minute availability. I am available 24/7! I work freelance so my work schedule is remote and I schedule it myself. I have open availability on weekends as well. I have reliable transportation. I know all the best walking spots in town! I have a fenced in yard if needed. My vehicle can also fit large dogs.
“Kate is amazing! I am always a little anxious about leaving Downey with other people, but Kate made sure he had the best time. She is attentive and patient and answers quickly. She followed all the instructions well and sent videos and photos every day. Her availability and flexibility to take care of Downey for us again during the Holidays saved our lives after weeks of looking for an available and affordable sitter. As long as Kate is available, I'll not look for another sitter again. I 100% recommend her!!”
“Amazing amazing!! Took such great care of our puppy!!! And such a sweet family!!! They were all in on taking care of pup! Loved the picture updates & appreciate quick responses! Thank you!”
“Philly did great with Jenna. She was very accommodating and I can tell Philly was very comfortable with her. When I picked him up, he kept wanting to go back in her house! - Proof that he was well cared for. Would highly recommend Jenna.”

Sprout had a wonderful stay with Anna and her dog Ruby. I would recommend Anna as an excellent dog sitter and I know she took excellent care of Sprout. We will be using her again in the future when we are in need of a dog sitter. Anna had excellent communication with us on how Sprout was doing during her entire stay with her and Ruby. Loved all the pictures, too.
"I am so glad I found her to watch Simba! She provided amazing in-home care, took him out for great walks, and sent wonderful photo updates that gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly reliable and professional. I felt so relieved knowing Simba was safe and happy in his own home. I will definitely be booking her again!"
Anirudhh Sai was fantastic! He was very prompt in sending pictures and keeping us updated throughout Princess's stay. Since Princess is older and was in a new environment, I knew she might not eat her food initially and had informed him about that. Anirudhh kept me updated regularly on whether she was eating and was just as happy as we were when she finally started eating. He sent us pictures and videos of her walks, as well as updates on what she was doing around the house. He was also attentive to her well-being and noticed that Princess seemed to have some difficulty walking on the hardwood floor. He reached out to me to check if that was normal, which it was. I really appreciated his thoughtfulness in consulting with me and making sure there was nothing unusual going on with Princess. I would strongly recommend Anirudhh to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. He and his partner were a sweet, friendly couple who took exceptional care of Princess. It was clear that they genuinely cared about her comfort and happiness. I will definitely use Anirudhh again and highly recommend him to others. If I visit Michigan again, he will be my first choice for Princess's care! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heidi was my first sitter using Rover and made it a super easy and reassuring experience for both me and Reese! She was so great at sending photos, letting me know how she was doing with fun updates, and made sure that Reese was enjoying herself all weekend. Winston is also a great dog-host and so sweet to help host!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Birmingham on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,590 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Birmingham. About 93% of Birmingham 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. 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.
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 MI 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.
