“They were outstanding taking care of our fur baby. It was a last minute trip and they were very understanding with our time frame for leaving and coming home. First time they watched Princess and she clearly enjoyed her time with them. Chris made sure to send pictures throughout the day and kept me posted on how she was doing. I never had to reach out for an update. They were always keeping me informed on how she was doing Top notch care and I highly recommend them!”
“As usual, Ray was a fantastic host and the periodic picture and video updates of the pup’s stay are still one of my fav things that Ray does extremely well!!! 5 starts aren’t enough. 🙂”
About: I’m 36 years old and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve had both small and large breed dogs, puppy to senior. I’m an animal lover. I will take very good care of your fur baby. I clean houses part time but still have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can board, walk, and do drop ins and doggy day care weekdays and weekends. My schedule is flexible. My yard is not fenced in but I can take your pet outside to play on leash or without leash if they don’t run off. I can watch in your home or mine . I have 3 kids who will love your fur baby just as much as you do.
“Addison was wonderful and so great with my pup! I enjoyed her daily picture updates. Riley got plenty of exercise as Addison took her to the park every day! We will be booking with Addison again!”
“Thank you Ashley! Ashley was very nice and took good care of my dog. She sent pictures and updates every day. She took her walking and played with her. She treated my baby like she was one of her own. I will definitely be using Ashley again soon.”
“The best sitter ever!! They sent pics and updates frequently and were super friendly. Their space is very dog friendly and they took great care of my pup. I will definitely use Arthur’s dog sitting services again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up with a family-owned 12-run dog kennel, so caring for multiple dogs and understanding their different personalities has always been part of my life. Today, I care for every dog as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, exercise, and a safe environment. My property is equipped with 24/7 security camera surveillance for added safety and peace of mind, and I provide regular photo and video updates so you’ll always know how your pup is doing. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I work during the day on weekdays, but every dog receives fresh water, morning and evening feedings, exercise, and plenty of attention before and after work. I’m home on weekends, allowing for extra playtime, interaction, and one-on-one care. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected with your pup throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My property is fully fenced and monitored with 24/7 security camera surveillance. Dogs have access to a clean, secure environment, and I carefully follow each owner’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and care preferences. I take the time to make every dog feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for as if they were part of my own family.
“Meredith is awesome. She makes you feel comfortable as if you were leaving your babies with a friend. She messaged me constantly and sent photos of my cat while I was in a business trip. She’s really down to earth as well.”
“Emily watched our dogs this weekend and they came home happy and tired! I think they enjoyed all the kiddos at their home. I would've liked a couple more updates & pics but I am also a highly anxious dog mom. ? Lol. We would use her again in the future if there's a need!”
“Joy has kept our puppy several times now, and he is always so happy when he arrives and sees her and her family! She sends so many updates and photos, and we truly have peace of mind while we are away. She goes above and beyond and we’re so appreciative! Would trust her with anything that we need for our pup.”
“Kendall and her husband were AMAZING!!! I went out of town for a week and was very anxious about leaving my pup for so long, but they took such great care of her and treated her like she was their own. She sent me lots of pics and kept me updated on how everything was going throughout the week. My 11 yo lab and her two dogs got along great and were best buddies by the end. I would definitely recommend Kendall to anyone and hope to board with her again the next time I go out of town!”
About: Hello! My name is Lauren and I am so excited to have the opportunity to watch your favorite companion! I have been taking care of my dog and other's as well for about 16 years. Their safety and happiness is my number one priority. I will give your animal all the attention and care they deserve while their owners are away! As a former Zookeeper and current Veterinary Assistant, I know the hard work and dedication it takes to take care of animals of all sizes and shapes. I currently have three French Bulldogs that get along with any dog and are always down for a puppy play date. If you are looking for dog boarding in my home your pet must be pet friendly because of this, up to date on vaccines, and a meet and greet will be required before hand. If you are only looking for drop in visits or dog walking they will stay home and a meet and greet will not be required. If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me. I hope I can meet your favorite family member soon! I currently work as a vet assistant at a speciality and emergency practice in Birmingham. I work overnights on the weekends so I’m completely free during the week. If your pet is staying during the weekend my partner is free while I’m not home to take care of our furry guests! I can do whatever is needed to make your dog feel safe! We can walk them on a leash, use a fenced in backyard, crate them when we leave, etc.

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 Blow Gourd home-away-from-home, 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 Blow Gourd.
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 Blow Gourd 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 , 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 .
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 AL 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.
