“Angelica was super responsive and sweet! She made sure Coop was comfortable with his first night away from home. He was worn out from all the playing when we picked him up! Definitely recommend for your pups!”
“Lona and Alan took such great care of my Goldendoodle! They were very kind, stayed in touch with regular updates and pictures, and were super responsive anytime I checked in. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend them!”
“Ashley was incredible while I left my dog for two weeks and went to Europe! I had so much peace of mind knowing she was there and the photos and videos she sent were great! I couldn’t imagine having anyone else take care of my dog. Seriously the best!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“MacKenzie was awesome! My Nova girl can be a little high maintenance and MacKenzie made sure she was well taken care of. She even sent me pictures. I will definitely book with her again”
“I appreciated the communication and photos while we were away. Our pup was calm and happy at drop off and pick up. I recommend this family and I will rebook next time we need to board our dog.”
“April was awesome! She was very flexible and accommodating with our need for an earlier drop off. She took very good care of Vito and he played and had a good time. She even sent him home with a toy, his favorite out of her toy box 💝🐾. We would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Misti provided good updates with cute pictures of my dog! She is a senior dog who needs lots of medications but I felt comfortable leaving her in Misti’s care. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Rachel was great! She clearly cares about and has the ability to put our dog at ease throughout the stay. We appreciated her flexibility and detailed updates. Would highly recommend! We hope to have her care for our dog again!”
“Sarah was absolutely phenomenal! She was so accommodating/flexible and reassuring. She send plenty of updates and I know my two pups had an absolute blast with hef. She has the perfect set up! It made me feel way less guilty leaving my babies behind knowing that Sarah has a fantastic yard for them to play in. Almost felt like dropping the pups off at a Summer camp. I am a very anxious dog mom and I felt at ease knowing that my babies were in great hands. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Cici! We needed a sitter on very short notice while we were out of town for our wedding weekend, and she was so kind and accommodating. She took excellent care of Cici and kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her kids were also so sweet and gentle with Cici, and it was clear she felt comfortable and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I work from home. I have a fenced in front and back yard. I am able to let your pet play outside, roam the house, hangout with me and even sleep with me if that is preferred. I have kennels, pet bowls and would just ask that you bring food/ treats/ anything else they need (bed, blankets, stuffie. Ect.) I have leashes and harnesses but if you have them specifically fit to your dog that is ideal! I work from home so I am able to care for your pet and not have them cooped up all day. They can be out and hangout with me! I have a fenced in front and back yard! I have 2 friendly dogs but they are in their own area of the house that they won’t even engage. If your dog if friendly, they can play but if not- mine will be separated and behind closed doors.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life. I’ve always been drawn to animals in some way. I have a 3 year old dog and a 2 year old cat. I volunteered at Kcpetproject as a dog walker and helper, which they required me to take a dog handling class. I also had an internship at a vet clinic where I shadowed and treated animals. Allow me to make this transition as easy as possible and care for your pets needs! I currently work mornings throughout the week. However, I have flexibility and can leave work to let your dog out and my husband will sometimes be home while I’m working. Most of the time I am home all day on weekends. I will treat your home and pet as my own! When walking your dog I will pick up after him/her and give them lots of snuggles after! I will be sure to lock up and notify you when check in or dog walking is complete! I can also provide a kennel when needed.
“This is the first time we’ve used a service like Rover and had such a great experience with Rhonda that we will never board our dog at a kennel again. Rhonda and her family were so kind and took great care of our dog. She sent pics and videos and we could see how happy our dog was and how well she was being cared for. We will definitely be contacting Rhonda again!!!”
“Samantha provided a safe, clean and extra loving home to our dog while we were away! She was communicative, and sent updates and photos throughout the week. I can tell our pup was so loved and well cared for!! Thank you to you and your family!!”
“Bobbi did a wonderful job taking care of Sailor! She sent videos and/or pictures everyday with an update of how Sailor was doing. Sailor always looked so happy and content in the videos/pictures. Bobbi was so loving and attentive to Sailor’s needs. I will definitely hire her again in the future! Thank you, Bobbi!!!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Laura! Our dog had the best time while we were out of town and we’ll definitely be using her again when out of town. She provides the best experience to make your fur baby feel at home while you are away!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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 MO 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.
