“Dalis is by far the most thorough dog sitter in the world. She sent daily pictures and even a couple videos to keep me updated with how my dog was adjusting.Choose Dalis If you want superior care for your pet.”
“Ms. Aram cared for my dog for 3 nights and 4 days and did a wonderful job, with lots of photos and updates. My dog usually comes home anxious after I’ve been away, but this time she settled right back in, calm and happy, like she’d been at a second home. I’ve finally found the perfect care for my dog. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover since moving to AL and we are delighted to have found Donna! She put us at ease by keeping us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear she treated our dog like a member of her family. We couldn’t be happier with the care Poppy received while staying with Donna.”
“Brittany was a great! She gave us daily updates, pictures, and was open to a meet and greet beforehand. I love that she only takes one clients pet at a time to insure the best experience possible. I would absolutely connect with her again!”

“Very good experience! Kim was very informative and kept Oscar engaged. She gave him plenty of love, care, and exercise throughout his stay with her. She gave me lots of photos and videos to keep me updated. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, administering routine medications, and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I have experience with both easygoing dogs and dogs who are more anxious and need extra patience and reassurance. As a lifelong pet owner and registered nurse, I’m dependable, attentive to details, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I’m new to Rover, so while I may not have reviews here yet, I’m not new to caring for animals. I’m looking forward to getting to know local families, building trust within our community, and becoming someone you can feel completely comfortable calling when your pets need care. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat yours with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m home much of the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m also able to accommodate different schedules and give your pets plenty of attention rather than squeezing visits into a busy workday. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I can crate dogs if needed and will always prioritize their safety and comfort. I’m also comfortable dropping in for pets in their own home, where I’ll respect your space and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care.
About: I have hands-on experience working in a professional dog daycare and boarding facility, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities. I’ve also been boarding dogs in my own home for years, where they’re treated like part of the family. Most of my bookings have come through my Facebook business page, and I’m now joining Rover to connect with more clients and their pups! I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, caring for senior and high-energy dogs, and managing multiple dogs safely. I love sending owners photo updates so they can relax knowing their pup is comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so caring for your pup fits naturally into my daily routine! I have plenty of time throughout the day for attention, playtime, and regular outdoor potty breaks. We have a very large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for play, exploring, and sniffing. Our neighborhood also has a private lake with a walking trail, so if your dog enjoys walks, we can work those into their stay too! Our days include a mix of activity and cozy downtime indoors. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding, potty, and bedtime schedule to help them feel comfortable and settled. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers to curl up nearby, I can adjust our routine to their needs. I also send daily photo updates so you can see how your pup is spending their time with us! I have a large fenced-in yard with plenty of room for dogs to play and explore. Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture and make themselves at home. I have professional daycare and boarding experience, along with a long list of regular clients outside of Rover who trust me with their dogs. I always follow each owner’s feeding, medication, crate, and routine instructions and send regular photo updates so you know your pup is happy and well cared for.

“Juyne did a wonderful job sitting with my fur babies! She sent texts & pictures so I always knew how they were doing. It was the first time I left them and I knew they were in good hands. She is so patient and kind. My "kids" loved staying with her!”
“Great experience! Excellent communication and flexibility. Most importantly, my dogs were relaxed and comfortable when I picked them up, which was awesome. They obviously had an awesome time. Thanks for taking such great care of them!”

Stephanie was amazing! I was very VERY nervous to leave Lando with a sitter. We are very attached and this was the first time I’d be leaving him with a stranger. Stephanie did a meet greet with me before and made me feel so comfortable. She sent photos and videos and constant updates of Lando. It’s like, I’d be thinking about Lando and then check my phone and see a new message about him. It was absolutely wonderful. Stephanie helped ease my nerves and made me feel so comfortable. Highly recommend and will be happy to work with her again when I need a sitter.
They were wonderfully attentive and took such great care of my puppy! I loved receiving regular updates with pictures and videos of what he was up to. Their home is clean, organized, and has a great yard where he got plenty of love and attention. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Makoto was incredible with my dog Brooks over the holidays!! She sent multiple pictures and videos every single day with an update of everything Brooks got up to that day. I got updates on his eating habits, his playtimes, his potty breaks, and any other pertinent info. She is a great communicator and truly loves all dogs!! I would recommend her as the best dog sitter anytime :)

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.
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.
95% of sitters in Capshaw 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 Capshaw 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 Capshaw.
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 Capshaw. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Capshaw 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.
