“Our dog had a great time staying with Mackenzie. She sent a couple of photos while we were away along with a couple of messages. You could tell she enjoyed playing with her dogs—she is a good, tired dog. She washed Pepper’s blanket before pick up which I thought was nice.”
“Taylor always takes the best care of our doggo! She's great with timeliness and communication. She's also wonderful with her updates/pictures during longer stays.”
“Laurie watched our dog for 8 days while we were out of the country. She was very communicative with frequent updates and photos during our time away. Our dog settled in quickly with her which said a lot. She was very attentive to his specific needs and he came home very happy. Thank you, Laurie!”
“Dominic and his team at home took great care of Maddie. She came home worn out from all the playing with the other dogs. They have a great yard for outdoor playtime and plenty of beds all around (and a lap or two).”
“My baby had a birthday while I was gone and Naji threw such an amazing party for him and the other Furry Babies! The pics were so cute and she does such an amazing job!”
“Cali's stay with Maddie could not have gone more perfectly. Maddie could not have been nicer, sent pictures and communicated every day, and has an absolutely ideal setup with her yard in a cute neighborhood.”
“Leslie took such good care of our pup. He had never been away from home before so this was so out of his comfort zone but she took such good care of him. Would love for her to be one go-to dog sitter.”
“Lona and Alan took great care of my dogs while I traveled. They sent photo updates and they had my dogs ready to go when I arrived. I would highly recommend them to care for your pet.”
“Best family out there to watch your puppers. Harley had a great time and always made me feel safe knowing she was in good hands. Communication and photos were 10/10. Definitely looking forward to letting them watch Harley again! Highly recommended sitters!”
“Kaylie was fantastic with our King Charles. He has a little anxiety and she won him over within two minutes of meeting him. She was very easy to work with. Great communication. We were visiting Kansas City and needed a dog sitter. I highly recommend Kaylie, and will use her again if we are in the area!”
“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.”
“Slinky and Sampson had such a great time at Christina's! We were gone for 10 days....I've never been away from my doggos for that long....and they did great! It was easy to relax and not worry knowing that my pups were having a great time and truly felt at home. Can't wait to use Christina's and her dog sitting services again!”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”
“We could not have asked for more! Our boys were loved in from the minute they arrived at Ashley’s tik the time we left. Our kids got such a kick out of the little bandanas she made them. I really appreciated that special touch and all of the pictures and videos she sent throughout the day!”

Noreen was quick to reply and made sure that my dog was taken care of and safe. I really appreciate how she made sure that she had everything she needed to properly take care of my dog by asking necessary questions; she also had enough equipment to where all I needed to bring was my dog's food and treats!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
