“Christopher and Sore were amazing! Our sweet boy had an amazing time with them and they took great care of him. We were updated regularly and received great pictures from them. We will absolutely be reserving Christopher and Sore in the future!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
“Barrie is such a dog lover - we felt so comfortable having Porter stay with her. We could tell he was in excellent hands the moment we met her. Her home is ideal for doggos to run and play. She kept us updated with photos of our Porter.”
“Lesley is amazing! My dachshund, Elli, had the best time with her. Her dog Scarlett is the sweetest, they cuddled the whole time. Lesley gave me so many updates and has a perfect setup.”
“Jessica was great with my pup! Made sure to send lots of pictures and videos and made sure he had plenty of play time to get all of his energy out. Would definitely use her again!”
“Harold did a great job watching Lady once again. I feel at ease on vacation knowing we do not have to worry about her. I Highly recommend Harold for your pet sitting needs he is awesome!”
“David and his wife were kind, thoughtful, and communicative throughout our entire trip. They have a beautiful home (with a big fenced in yard for zoomies) that your pets will love. They also sent lots of pictures and let me know how the doggies were doing every day. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐶❤️🐶”
“Amazing! The dogs loved being with Laderius and his family. I hesitated because they are on the opposite end of town from me (North Birmingham) but ultimately went with Laderius and I’m so glad I did! They are worth it! Great communication, BIG LOVE for our pets, and making sure they enjoyed their “vacation.” Just overall good people. We will be back.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received during their stay! From the moment we arrived, I felt confident that my furry family member was in loving, capable hands. Kordell was kind, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my cat up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious he genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make each pet feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring place for their cat. Thank you for treating my baby like one of your own I will definitely be back!”
“Jonathan and his family were great! We will definitely be requesting them as a new regular. Very friendly, helped us out and allowed us to extend our boarding for an additional night at last minute, sent updates and pictures, and made sure our dog had plenty of exercise!”
“I will never board our dog at a vet or kennel again! Jessica was amazing! Friendly, responsive, accomodating, and took great care of our Australian Shepherd. Our pup came home clean and happy, and it was clear her experience was pleasant and fun! Even when I ruined Jessica's plans by arriving late to pick up our pup, she was forgiving and courteous. Thank you, Jessica. I give you my highest recommendation!!!”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“Riley took great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. She is officially our go-to sitter, and we highly recommend her!”
About: I have had pets since I was 5 years old and with my degree and career background in veterinary medicine, best believe your pets will be safe and taken care of while also being treated like family. I’m available after 2:30pm everyday and my days are completely open on the weekends. If I need to stop by in the early morning, I can as well. Pets will be loved on, walked, fed, and receive intimate quality time. I have two needy dogs myself so I completely understand the anxiety that can come with pets being alone so I will make sure to make them feel safe and provided for.
About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“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.”

We’re so grateful to have found them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters!

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 Dixiana 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 Dixiana.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Dixiana 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.
