“We are so happy to find Irv! He understands dogs, and our sweet standard poodle came back to us even better trained! Irv was flexible in scheduling and accommodating in every way. We hope to never leave Rajah with anyone else when we travel! She has a new second home!”
“Angelina is the best!!!!! We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for Gunner! She watched him for five days and completely put our minds at ease. She sent wonderful daily updates and pictures of Gunner every single day, which meant the world to us. She is truly the sweetest, most caring sitter, and Gunner was so happy and well-cared for. We are so grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough !”
“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!”
“Arrow stayed with Miranda and Erica over his birthday and they went above and beyond to give him an amazing birthday!! they really are the sweetest and will treat your pet like their own”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Kelly was happy to meet with me and my dog before we booked. She is so warm and friendly, and her dog Suzie is a such a sweetheart. All on my part, but I did not realize my young dog would have separation anxiety with a very upset stomach, and Kelly handled things like a pro. I called my vet after our stay to see what calming options I could use in the future, and she told me Kelly was an excellent Rover host if she was able to get my dog's stomach back to normal. Kelly went above and beyond, feeding my dog a bland diet and trying home remedies we discussed over the phone to get her back to normal. She sent photos and communicated with me daily. I would absolutely recommend her to others!”
“My medium labradoodle seemed to be very happy staying with George and I'll definitely book with him again in the future. He was great at sending pictures and videos to keep my mind at ease. He went above and beyond to make sure Butters was able to eat in peace away from the other dogs. Leaving him at a person's house for the first time is really stressful so I thank you George for making it as easy as possible for me and taking great care of Butters.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Nani had a longer stay with Cody and I had no concerns! He did a great job following additional instructions due to the longer stay and kept me updated throughout my trip. I feel confident in Cody and his ability to intervene and mediate between dogs in case any overexcitement or aggression happens. I feel comfortable leaving Nani with him knowing she’s in good hands!”
“Fantastic pet sitters!! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog baby, Daisy!! And even though it was last-minute and unforeseen request, you stepped up and saved us in our time of need! Thank you!!”
“Our two pups enjoyed their recent stay with Susan and her husband very much. They’re very nice people and we never doubted that our dogs were being well cared for and getting lots of love. We received daily reports, lots of pictures and prompt replies anytime we checked in. It was a great overall experience and we definitely plan to use them again. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, loving environment for their dogs.”
“Abby was an amazing sitter for our dog - thoughtful, communicative, and responsive. We received regular (daily) updates and photos and she was accommodating and flexible with the drop off and pick up times. Our dog was very happy and well cared for! We highly recommend Abby!”
“Linda was amazing to our dog Murphy. He was excited to play with her dog and her children. Loved getting the pictures to see what he was up to. He came home happy and exhausted. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“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.”
“It was the third or fourth time our dog stays with Karina and all I can say is that it gives us so much piece of mind knowing our baby is well take care of. Forever grateful ❤️❤️”
“Emily watched Ariel for us in her home for 3 nights/4 days. Ariel had such a great time! We loved the photo updates. Emily just seems like a genuine, good person. Emily also has a dog, and they were two peas in a pod! She even gifted her bone to take home. :) We will definitely use her services again!”
“Heather is IMO a “dog whisperer”. My finicky old dog stayed with her for 10 days. Heather is calm, patient and seems to intuitively know how to keep a dog happy and content. I really appreciated her help.”
“They were fantastic! I felt like I left my dogs in great and capable hands. They were great with keeping me updated and sending photos. Very responsive and flexible with me. Would definitely use them again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Birmingham
This is the first time we availed Anirudh Sai for our pet. Our pet settled well with them and We also felt very comfortable after our initial visit with them. The bonding was mutual between them & our pet. He shared pictures and videos and updated us about his stay. We would recommend them and will be using their services in near future.
I cannot recommend Irv highly enough! From the very beginning, his organized nature and flexibility made the entire booking and drop-off process a breeze. He made sure to keep us fully updated before the stay even began, which gave us so much peace of mind right out of the gate. During the stay, Irv’s attention to detail truly shined. He sent consistent, thorough updates and photos, showing exactly how well he was taking care of Daisy. It was clear that she was in fantastic hands, getting plenty of love, and having a great time. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative sitter, Irv is your guy. We would absolutely book with him again!
"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!"
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!

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.
