“If I could give 10 STARS I would!!! Coryn and her husband went above and beyond when caring for my baby Georgie! Georgie was a rescue that we found in a dumpster, he was treated horribly, very emancipated with severe conjunctivitis that required surgery in both eyes! Therefore I am very selective with whom I l eave him with! Coryn was the PERFECT CHOICE! I cannot thank you enough, every picture she sent me. I could tell how comfortable he was, with zero anxiety. He had a wonderful time, which made my vacation stress free, knowing that my baby was being taking excellent care of! Thank you again! ❤️❤️❤️”
“We were so happy with all aspects of working with Rebecca. From communicating with her about our booking, our meet and greet, to the care and love she gave our dog while we were away, everything was easy and wonderful. Rebecca is a gem!”
“Kathy was fantastic. We had her watch our pup when we were in town for a wedding. She took time to understand our dog's personality and his particular needs. She send a couple of updates. We were very impressed by her understanding that being away from home and your people can be a little tough on pups. She gave Dooley space and let him warm up to her. Thanks, Kathy. We highly recommend!”
“Sam totally and completely exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter and caregiver! Honestly, I was nervous about using Rover to find someone to watch our pit mix, Thelma Lou. She's a rescue and we're the third (and final!) home she's had, so we knew we didn't want to board her at a traditional facility. We also weren't sure how she would get along with other dogs. When we first reached out to Sam, I told her that we were open to boarding, but would prefer to have her drop in on Thelma. Sam really encouraged us to board Thelma with her and after our meet-and-greet, we were convinced! Sam was so positive, patient, and caring with our girl. And she did awesome at helping Thelma socialize with her dogs! Where Sam truly went above and beyond, was helping us make our wedding day special! The reason we had initially reached out was to have her watch Thelma Lou for our wedding. We had originally wanted to have her be a part of our ceremony, but ultimately decided that it would be too overwhelming for her. We then decided that we'd like to have her in our photos and Sam suggested that we add on a pick-up/drop-off service. Sam drove 45+ minutes (with today's insane gas prices!) to bring Thelma up to our venue for about an hour of pictures. She did such a good job and even brought toys and extra treats to get Thelma's attention and winning smiles! Bonus! Sam is taking classes to become a trainer - and it shows in the way she works with her pets. We will DEFINITELY be working with her again in the future! Thank you, Sam!”
“Jingles was welcomed into Tara/Gary's home with open paws. I was kept informed with pictures and jingles mannerisms, which I knew he was under no stress. Jingles will definitely be visiting again. Thanks again Tara”
“Jackie was able to accommodate our Burqee on short notice and she was absolutely amazing. Burqee had an amazing time with Pinky and Jackie updated us twice a day with pictures and notes, which kept our mind at ease. Would definitely book with Jackie again!”
“Jess is fantastic! Our dog loves her, she keeps us updated, and she’s very understanding of his puppy antics. She’s watched our dog now three times. Our next visit is already booked! Very happy we found her.”
“Briana is definitely comfortable taking care of dogs. This was the first time ever to leave my puppy with a "stranger" and other dogs. My energetic puppy instantly warmed up to Briana's small dog and Briana was so calm and helped my puppy quickly become comfortable with her bigger dog. My puppy had SO MUCH FUN at Briana's with her fun dogs and huge backyard (an Australian Shepherd's dream yard). I was and would be totally comfortable leaving my baby at her home!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Monica. Monica provided daily photos and updates. Hazel cut herself playing and Monica notified us immediately and cleaned her wound and it is healing nicely. We would definitely book Monica again and highly recommend her.”
“Jennifer was great! She watched our hound dog Luna for a week while we were away on vacation. Luna had a great time playing with her and her dog. Jennifer sent us regular pictures and updates while we were away so we could enjoy the fun Luna was having and know she was safe. We will definitely be using Jennifer again to board Luna in the future!”
“Our dogs had a great time with Nicole, Mike, their kids and Daisy! They took good care of our dogs in keeping them to their routine, taking them outside for walks and plays as much as possible, and gave them lots of belly rubs :) Thank you!”
“Andrea was amazing and I cannot recommend enough! She helped me out when I was in a last minute bind and took my dog with one day notice. She sent me pictures and updates daily and kept me in the loop on how my dog was doing. Andrea is the most kind and my pup came home happy! We will absolutely use her in the future.”
“Can't say enough positive things about Theresia and her lovely family. She was kind enough to care for our baby boy at very short notice. Our boy had such great fun with her girls and especially his new buddy Cam. She sent lovely photos and videos daily! We're very grateful for such wonderful care! Thanks a million Theresia and family!????♀️”
“Super kind and communicated with an update once a day. Definitely recommend to anyone that needs help with their four-legged family member. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again for future dog-sitter needs.”
“Great stay for Kenzy! She took really amazing care of my little man! He really enjoyed himself! She kept me up to date with pics and videos. Since we have been home he misses his interactions with CoCo! I would highly recommend! We will be returning boarders with her!”
About: I have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and I have done what ever is needed to take care of them. I will feed, play, bathe, walk, give medicine, and take outside to potty. Essentially whatever is asked for me I will do. I currently volunteer with therapy dogs in a hospital and I love it! Would love to bring my skills and passion to animal owners every where. I do work full time however, weekends I am free including Friday evening and I know that may be hard to get as people travel on the weekend. I live in a safe and dog friendly neighborhood! I have a big home they can explore in. I truly watch the animals as when they move I move.
“Omgoodness I can’t give enough praise for this family, they are very attentive & loving people, I felt comfortable immediately at the meet & greet & was so happy I chose them to care for my puppy Ace for an entire week, they provided me with text & picture updates daily. Ace was exhausted when we picked him up from all the fun he had. I would highly recommend them every time! Looking forward to using them again”
“Liz was awesome. Very accommodating and took great care of my pups! They didn’t wanna leave haha. She sent pics, took them on walks, and to the park. They had a great time. I would highly recommend Liz!!”

Samantha was great! It can be a little nerve-wracking when you need to find a new pet sitter but we could tell Roxy was in good hands with her. Roxy seemed comfortable and happy and Samantha kept us updated and informed during her stay. We would be happy to use Samantha for pet sitting again when the need arises.
Anirudh and Purva were really great with our goldendoodle Tobie. They sent regular updates and pics and made sure that Tobie was comfortable as this was our first time leaving him with a new host. Tobie looked happy when we picked him. Thank you for taking care of our fur baby !!
i had to find someone who is taking care of my 13y old doggie on a very short notice and found the perfect person! received updates how he is doing and pictures on a regular basis. the way George spoke about cloves showed he cared like it is his own dog. 100% recommended!
Krystle was so great and patient with my dog Dobby. He was really scared of going down her stairs, and it took over an hour to get him comfortable enough to go up and down with confidence. Krystle was patient and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I cannot thank her enough for being so good to him! Would recommend 10/10.
Susan and her husband Alan are amazing! They took incredible care of our two dogs, gave them so much love & attention and provided tons of cute updates frequently throughout my dogs’ stay. It was so comforting knowing my dogs were in excellent hands! I can’t imagine leaving my pups anywhere else!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Birmingham is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,603 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
