“Talhia was amazing 👏🏻 and cared for our animals like they were family. I HIGHLY recommend her and we will definitely use her again. She made a stressful situation so much easier on me. She was a great communicator, too. Lots of photos and updates. Zero complaints!”
“Thank you for caring for Dante ! He came back home a happy baby ! Amber definitely took good care of him and I couldn’t of been more pleased 😃 definitely will book with her again in the future”
“Jennifer made my Murphy feel so at home it was like he had a vacation at the same time I did! She was super communicative and sent lots of fun pics and videos while I was away. I think Murphy misses her dog, Rose too. Will definitely book with Jennifer again!”
About: I grew up in the country and my dad showered me and my brother with puppies. We were in charge of raising them and making sure they always had what they needed and we did this basically our whole lives. Different breeds, different attitudes, different sizes! I’ve even raised a few in my room, I know! It was pretty smelly, but it was fun and fulfilling! I’m home mosty week days catching up with work on my laptop, so it works perfectly for me. On weekends, I’ll be able to pet sit as well. I currently don’t have any pets living in my apartment but at home we had a gated fence and would let the dogs outside to use the bathroom whenever they needed to or whenever they needed to chase a squirrel or get their zoomies out. They would mostly stay inside and eat twice throughout the day and nap with me.
“Breanna was amazing - she sat my dogs last minute and was great about sending pictures with them, flexible with pick up and drop off, and helped me enjoy the weekend worry free knowing she had my pups. Will def be sitting with her again!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous to find someone to watch my 8 month old lab puppy (Daisy) for 9 days while out of state. Jamie was wonderful to find and I felt confident dropping Daisy off with Jamie. She sent daily photos of Daisy and I could tell Daisy was having a lot of fun (especially playing in their fenced in backyard). When flight delays caused us to get back to Tuscaloosa later than planned, Jamie was kind and flexible in letting Daisy stay an extra night. Would definitely book again!”
About: I have loved all animals my whole life. I am currently working on applying to college for veterinary medicine and thought that this job fit perfect with my interests and future aspirations. I am currently in school so my best and most available times are in the early morning or evenings during the week. Sundays are very open. My schedule does move around so other times may be available as well. Just reach out! I have 2 dogs of my own. Both are french bulldogs, one is 11 and the other is 4 years old. They are very friendly with other dogs. I have a fenced backyard as well as a dog park down the street from my house.
About: Me and my family have owned a French bull dog for 8 years, as well as I have worked at a doggie day care (digstown) for 4. During my time at digstown I have cared for every size shape and personality imaginable! I currently only work one day a week and I am home for about 80% of my day, I own a car so transportation would never be a problem. I am a believer in treating others dogs how you would want yours to be treated, I will make sure everything that the pet needs is done on time and efficiently because that’s how I would want someone to treat mine
“Danielle was in every sense excellent. She was far more capable than myself of watching these guys and was so chilled out during their entire stay as if to say, “don’t worry, i’ve got it.” My guys, Robby and Zoe, would exceedingly recommend that you book her at once. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets in my home. I currently have three dogs of my own, ranging from 9 to 65 lbs, and I’m also an experienced foster for both dogs and cats. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of fostering and helping 24 animals find their forever homes. My fostering experience has given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities, including those with anxiety, nervousness, and behavioral challenges. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. All dogs in my care receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! While I work full-time, my schedule allows flexibility during the day for walks and drop-ins, and I’m able to come home during lunch to let pets out. My own pets are let outside 2–3 times before I leave for work and spend the entire evening out and about with me. Dogs in my care will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, plenty of attention, and lots of companionship. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, my pets have their own dedicated room, and each has their own crate for a safe, comfortable space to retreat to when needed. All pets are fed separately to help prevent food-related issues and ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. The pet room is quiet and away from the regular activity and household noises, giving pets a calm place to relax. Dogs that get along well are welcome to spend time together throughout the home, while pets who prefer one-on-one attention can have individualized time with me. I’m also able to rotate pets as needed so everyone gets plenty of time out, exercise, attention, and companionship. Pets are welcome to roam throughout the home and relax on the furniture when that is allowed in their own home. I do my best to maintain their normal routines and boundaries while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
About: I have grown up with dogs for my entire life and I now have a cat of my own. I have taken care of friends and families animals in the past and I am very reliable, caring, and friendly. Animals bring me so much joy and I treat any animal as if it were my own. I am working in a salon four days out of the week but I will be available in the mornings and the evenings of any day to provide attention to your pet. Given that I have a cat of my own, I know how angry and hurt I would be if I put her in the care of someone else and she was neglected. With that being said, you can trust that I will not put you in that position! Animals are innocent and unable to communicate their needs. Not only will I provide the essentials, I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable!
About: My experience with dogs goes back as far as I can remember. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and they always will be! I have been paid to train dogs on occasion, and I have also grown up with many dogs of all sizes. I’ve had numerous German Shepherds, pitbull, labs, shih tzu, you name it. I currently have a female German Shepherd who is 4 years old and a female German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix who is 2 years old. Both dogs are spayed and trained. My German Shepherd likes to bark at people initially, but has never bitten a person or a dog, and always has a blast with them after sniffing them out for about 5-10 minutes. My German Shepherd can be separated from your pup if you feel more comfortable that way. My younger pup absolutely loves any and everyone new dog or human! I have a small fenced in back yard and porch and live on a road that isn’t busy so there is little worry of traffic. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and look forward to meeting and having a blast with yours! I currently work part time remote so I’m home all of the time and available to tend to your dog’s needs any time of the day. I have a fenced yard along with 2 fun dogs of my own to keep your pup company at all times! I will be sure to keep your dog safe as if he/she is my own and they will get as much play time as you would like them to have!

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.
98% of sitters in Coaling 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 Coaling 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 Coaling.
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 Coaling. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 Coaling 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.
