“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashley was absolutely wonderful! My reservation was from October 9–13, and she went above and beyond by picking up my baby Ace from the kennels. From the very start, she made me feel completely at ease. She sent frequent updates and adorable pictures that showed just how much Ace was being loved and spoiled. 🐾❤️ It’s clear she truly cares for the pets she watches—Ace came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amber and her husband took great care of our cat! She was feeling like home from the moment we dropped her off! Thanks to Amber for sending picture everyday so we knew that our cat was doing well and that made us free from worries. Our cat is definitely coming back again!”
“Fantastic care. My dog at first didn’t care I was there when I picked her up because she was having a good time. Her kids are gentle and sweet with the dogs. The place was very clean and tidy which is a plus. She was very flexible with pick up and drop off 10/10 would rover again.”
“Ben was a great dogsitter and would recommend him to anyone! He sent me pictures/videos dailyand was very prompt in responding to me. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Teresa and her husband are very accommodating and flexible with my early morning drop offs or late evening pickups. My pups enjoy playing with their own dogs and always look happy in their updates and when I pick them up 😊”
“Savannah is wonderful and has always taken such great care of Molly! Molly loves playing with Savannah’s dog and her family. I highly recommend Savannah for any of your pet needs.”
About: I love dogs and have one of my own, Penny! I have trained her since I got her as a puppy. I also love to go on walk and get to know new dogs! I’d love to take care of your fur baby in any way you need! I’m a professional basketball players who plays overseas, but I’m back in America training for my upcoming season starting in September. I’m looking to save up some money for moving costs back to Europe and training while in the US. I love dogs and cats and I feel like this is the best way for me to help others and be around what makes me happy outside of basketball :) I have a weenie dog, Penny that loves to play with all kinds of dogs. Her best friend is a border collie, who is a lot bigger than her, but she doesn’t see it that way. She also loves cats and has grown up around them. If your pet doesn’t like other dogs she can easily stay at home while I’m tending to your pets. I would do my best to make your pet feel the most comfortable, safe, and cared for!!
“Katie and her family were fantastic with our two pups while we were out of town. Communication was great! I would highly recommend her services, and will definitely book with her in the future.”
“Danielle and her family did an amazing job looking after our girl. She sent lots of photos and was super communicative. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Chris took excellent care of my Luna. Sent me picks of her several times. Can’t say enough good about how he cared for my fur baby. I plan on using him again. I will never use a traditional kennel again. Thank you Chris!!!!”
“Cassidy was awesome!! We're from out of town and were visiting my parents in Enterprise for the week. Cassidy watched Walker while we were away at the beach, and did a fabulous job. Lots of photos of him having a blast! 10/10 will be booking again next time we're in the area!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Dothan on Rover is $41.07 per night (as of August 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 August 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.
