I didn’t get to meet Jessica due to medical reasons but Cooper seems to have been well taken care of. He came home all spirited and acting happy! Jessica was gracious with extending Coopers stay as i ended up being in the hospital a few days longer than expected. Thank You Jessica.

Ashley is an awesome sitter! She sends wonderful pictures, so we know how our furbabby is doing. And we don't have to worry. Ashley is very easy to communicate with, and understanding! We have used her multiple times, and would recommend her to anyone!

Stephen was reliable, friendly, and highly professional, providing top-notch care for my pup. As this was my first time leaving my dog with someone else, I was initially hesitant, but after meeting Stephen, I immediately felt confident that my pup was in great hands. Throughout the stay, Stephen communicated effectively and sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. I would not hesitate to recommend Stephen to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. I’ll absolutely be returning without reservation, this was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Kimberly has a very clean and welcoming home. She also has a small, friendly dog, along with cats and chickens, and it is clear she is truly an animal lover. She was very attentive to Lulu and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. Kimberly mentioned that Lulu was her first Rover sit, but honestly, it felt like she had been doing this for a while. She sent photos and videos, provided reassurance, and kept me updated throughout Lulu’s stay. I highly recommend Kimberly! I left in a rush because I did not account for the time zone change while heading back home, but I wanted to make sure she knew how much I appreciated her watching Lulu.

Teresa and her husband were the first sitters we used on Rover and it was an amazing experience. They made sure to update us with text & photos. They treated Duke and cookie as if they were their own. definitely recommend them and will be using them again.

Jennifer was great with my little buddy ‘Valentine’. She shared photos throughout his stay and sent him home with a bag of bacon strips. (A bag he chewed through later that night to indulge himself - caught him with a strip hanging out his mouth!!🤪)

Some people you just know you can trust early on when you meet them and Ramona is one of those people. She asks the questions you expect an experienced sitter to ask and has a safe and comfortable place for your pooch to stay.

Ben did an outstanding job taking care of my little 15 year old miniature Doberman. He provided scrappy with many walks and sent many pictures and videos to keep me updated on how scrappy was doing. I would definitely recommend letting Ben watch your fur babies, as he is very accommodating and understanding with any of your pet needs.

About: Hey everyone! A little about me is that I’m a veteran who got out of the military in 2025, and since then I’ve been a stay-at-home dad to my kids and my two dogs. Safe to say the dogs are just as spoiled as the kids around here lol. I’ve had my dogs for over 4 years, and they’re truly family to me, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, cared for, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away. So even though I haven’t professionally dog sat before, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and just making sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed in their environment. What I think really sets me apart is that I’m home most of the day as a stay-at-home dad, so your pets won’t just be left alone waiting for someone to come back hours later which really helps if they have separation anxiety! Trust me I know! Lol They’ll get real attention, supervision, playtime, and care throughout the day. I also know how important routines are for pets, so I do my best to stick to whatever schedule your dog or dogs are used to so they feel right at home. Whether your dog or dogs are just balls of energy or they just want someone to hang out with on the couch, I’m happy to match their vibe. Honestly, I just treat them the same way I’d want someone treating my own dogs. I’m a stay-at-home dad, so my schedule is super flexible and I’m home most of the day. I don’t work outside the home, which means I’m able to give pets lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I can easily work around your pet’s normal routine and keep things as consistent as possible, whether that’s feeding times, walks, potty breaks, medication, or bedtime routines. I’m usually up early and stay up late, so early drop-offs, late check-ins, and keeping up with active pups is never a problem! My biggest thing is treating your pet or pets as part of the family here! I have a big backyard for dogs to run around, play, and get their energy out, plus two friendly dogs of my own that love making new buddies. I make sure your pets are getting plenty of playtime, attention, potty breaks, fresh water, and are fed on the exact schedule you provide so they can stay comfortable and keep their normal routine. The last thing you need is to worry if they are off schedule! I know every pet has a different personality and their own little quirks, but either way I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. And don’t worry about accidents and messes because they do happen sometimes and to me it’s no big deal!

We planned on going to the Mississippi State football game and needed to board our little dog. Rover was very easy to use. It's like Uber. You pay online so it's very easy to do. We dropped off our dog and were happy to get a photo of him chilled out. We picked him up after the game and he was very happy. Elizabeth did a good job and we will use her again. Our dog was very happy when we picked him up!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Dothan

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dothan on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 75 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dothan. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.

100% of Dothan sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Dothan landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.

If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dothan 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 Dothan.

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.

You and your Dothan 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.
