“Jessica was great with our baby. We have never left her with anyone and we did not know what to expect but she sent us pictures and let us know what was going on. She answered the messages and kept us informed. She even gave our baby her special homemade food because she was not eating at first. I would definitely recommend her.”
“This was our first time ever leaving our dog. Andrea was always quick to answer our texts. She gave us pictures and updates of how Mikey was doing. Highly recommend using her!”
“Love them!!! They are so welcoming and down to earth. The whole family treated my baby with love and inclusion. Easy to communicate with, fast responses, and flexible. We’ll definitely use their services again. Thank you both for you Mr love and kindness towards us!!”
“Very happy with the care my pups received from Matt. Great communication and attention to my dogs. His dog, Domino had a great personality and I was evident my gogs enjoyed his company. Highly recommended!”
“Heather made sure that Toby felt right at home! She & her family loved on him & even let him ride with them in the car (one of his favorite things to do!). I highly recommend Heather for taking care of your dog & will use her again!”
“Alex is wonderful!! We booked Alex to sit our dog for 9 days, and she sent us multiple pictures everyday with updates so we didn’t miss a beat. Alex even met up with me before she was scheduled to sit, so that our dog could get comfortable with her, and you could tell through the pictures she sent, that he was very comfortable during his stay. Alex was also accommodating and flexible with our pick up time, as our flight landed pretty late. I would recommend Alex to my friends and will definitely book her when we go out of town again!!”
“Robin is the best. I knew immediately that she was the right person to leave Cody with. He loves it there. Being a Golden with lots of energy, there is plenty of room for him to run and play with her dogs. Robin sent me pictures every day and would respond to my texts promptly. She even put a Halloween bandana on him. Robin is my go-to person now. I can't recommend her enough.”
“All I can say is wow. Madison went above and beyond to make our baby Greyson comfortable, even given our sweet little boy a bath after playing in the mud with her sweet Shepherds. Was excited to see me when I picked him up, but he seemed that he was torn and wanted to stay with Madison as well. Definitely will rebook.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better home for my babies to stay in while we left town! Christina send pictures and kept me updated the whole time we were gone. Will 10000% be using her again! Both pups came home pooped!”
About: Here to make sure your 4 legged family feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I work Monday–Friday, but my schedule can be flexible at times. If you need pet care but aren’t sure whether my schedule will fit your needs, feel free to message me! I’m always happy to help whenever I’m able. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups. I crate trained both of my dogs while they were potty training, so I also have a large crate available if that fits your pet’s needs.
“Tugba was wonderful. This was the first time using her and things worked out really well. I really like that she wanted to meet before the boarding date to get to know our dog. I would highly recommend her and plan on using her for future boarding.”
“Amanda took great care of our 9 year old dog. I felt very confident leaving him in her care. She was flexible with our timeframes and communication was great. Definitely recommend Amanda for your pets care.”
“Mikayla was wonderful. She was very professional. She was always timely in her response and made sure to update with commentary & pictures on how my baby was doing! She was also very flexible and willing to compromise to the best of her ability. I will definitely be a returning customer. If you’re wanting someone who will treat your fur baby like their own, without any worries or concerns, Mikayla is the person you’re looking for. 10/10 would recommend ✨”

“Brenda is amazing!!!! Communication and pictures sent on a daily basis. Lots of love and snuggles for my two babies. They really had an awesome time. Will rebook again with her!!! ??”
“Mia is the kindest, sweetest dog sitter I've ever met! She was available for the major holiday and I booked my appointment with her within a week from when the stay would be happening so it was a little bit last minute. She was still so accommodating. She sent pictures and let me know when my dog had eaten and went outside. My dog means so much to me and I'm always cautious but, we absolutely love Mia! She even had other dogs staying with her and was still willing to take Winchester. My dog also bonded with her and had plenty of cuddles while he was staying there. We are most definitely going to put Mia in our "saved sitters" list and we will definitely be using her services again! Thank you so much Mia!”
“Our dog looked extremely happy while there. She was great about sending pics and letting us know what was going on. He was one tired dog when he got home. Will definitely use again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 150 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cottonton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
98% of sitters in Cottonton 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 Cottonton 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 Cottonton.
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 Cottonton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 Cottonton 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.
