“This was such a great experience for our family! We always have tears when we leave Toby for boarding, but Savannah made everyone feel so happy and comfortable as soon as we met her and dropped him off! We received pictures all weekend and knew he was getting loved on and having a great time! We will definitely be doing this from now on!”
“Randy was very welcoming to our boy Cosmo! Very attentive and patient with him as he can be a big bundle of energy! We both appreciate the walks he took him on and even gained a new toy to his vast collection! Many thanks and do highly recommend!”
“Kyler took such great care of my 7 week old puppy! She was very accommodating and understanding of scheduling changes, especially with my last minute booking. My dog definitely enjoyed her time staying with Kyler! I will definitely be contacting her again!”
“Ashlyn was wonderful! She took great care of Bob and he didn't want to leave her. She sent updates of how he was settling in along with pictures. I strongly recommend her and I will certainly use her again.”
“Kordell was amazing and took the best care of our sweet angel. We will definitely book him again, it was such a relief knowing kona was well cared for and loved while we were out of town. I cannot recommend him enough!”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Charlie took great care of my two senior dogs! She and her girls kept them busy and comfortable. She sent picture updates regularly and was very flexible with my scheduling needs.”
“Cava and Mimosa have stayed with Anthony twice, and will continue to be our go to sitter. He always sends updates and i can tell my girls loved staying there. As soon as they saw him they ran over to say hi and we could tell that they are comfortable with him.”
“We are very happy with Bridget sitting Lula! We got lots of updates about how Lula was doing as well as pictures and videos of her just hanging out or playing with the kids. The whole family treated Lula well and gave her lots of attention. When Lula met Bridget’s Pomeranian they were friendly and happy to do their own things. The backyard has ample space for any dog to run around and the fence is in good condition. They went above and beyond, were so conscientious, and treated Lula like a member of the family. We really hope Bridget is available next time we need a sitter.”

“They took great care of my Aussiedoodle. He looked so happy in every photo. She sent plenty of photos and him and each photo had a little blurb of how he was doing. It was very cute! I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”
“Our puppy had the best stay with Katie!!!! She was welcomed with a very excited embrace by Katie's sweet daughter, and every day we received great updates from Katie (and adorable photos) on how Ellie was doing! We will definitely have Ellie stay with Katie again the next time we are out of town! Thank you again - such a great experience!!!”
About: Working at animal hospitals and pet stores has taught me to care and handle not only my own animals but the animals of others as well. I am caring and loving with your dog as if it is my own but firm need be. I am not squeamish when it comes to cleaning up after your dog. While with your dog they will get 100% of my attention because the safety of your dog is my #1 priority. I am very careful with special needs dogs and always keep in mind their specific needs. I am very knowledgeable with most breeds and their dos and don'ts. Your dog will enjoy their play time with me. They will be looking forward to my visits!

About: We have had pets our entire lives. I love dogs of all kinds, big or small. Our son is a great help with pets as well and absolutely adores them. It’s a team effort! We’ve had puppies in our home from 7 weeks old to senior dogs. Our dog, Leo, is very social and has not found a doggy friend he doesn’t like. Meet and greets are highly recommended because we have our dog in our home. We are happy to accommodate any dogs and their needs and have experience giving medications to pets. We do have a lot of stairs so our welcomed guests should be able to walk flights of stairs decently well. During the school year we both work full time but make getting home to our dogs first priority at the end of the day. My husband has job flexibility where he can work from home a few days a week. In the evening we love nothing more than to cuddle with the dogs on the couch and watch a good show. When the weather is nice we enjoy lots of walks in our neighborhood. Our dogs love the yard, it’s a chipmunk oasis. Our yard is fully fenced. We have a very dog friendly shepsky. Dogs can be crated, rest on the carpet, snooze on the couch, or sleep in bed with us- whatever they’re comfortable with.
About: About Me 🐾 Hi! My name is Brianna, and I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, so caring for dogs has always been something that comes naturally to me. I currently have a small dog named Marshall, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who is a very important part of our family. Having Marshall has given me even more experience with the love, patience, attention, and consistency that dogs need to feel comfortable and happy. I know that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, which is why I treat every dog in my care like they are part of my own family. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, loving environment where your dog can relax and enjoy their stay. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll take the time to get to know what makes your pup comfortable. Whether your dog loves to play, enjoys cuddling on the couch, or prefers a little quiet time, I’m happy to meet them where they are. 🐶❤️ I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pup and become someone you can feel comfortable trusting with their care! I work during the day, but I’m available for boarding and can provide plenty of attention before and after work. I’m available most weekends and will make sure your pup gets plenty of playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and care throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a safe, welcoming home and a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Marshall who enjoys having other dogs around. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, crate time, and any special instructions.

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.
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.
97% of sitters in Calera can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Calera 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 Calera.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Calera. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Calera 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
