“The entire experience from scheduling the doggie sleepover to pickup was fantastic!! At drop off Celeste and her husband were welcoming to both myself and my dog Eddie. Soon after drop off I received pictures of Eddie playfully Interacting with their two dogs. Later I received pictures and video of Eddie lounges in the living room. The pictures really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend away, knowing Eddie was in great hands!!”
“Callie is super sweet and took great care of my dog. She sent lots of updates with photos and videos which is appreciated. She made the whole process easy which is refreshing. This was my first time using rover and would 1000 times use her service again. I also appreciate that she took my dog as she is not spayed and is not crate trained. She works with what your dog likes which makes the whole process less stressful for you and your pup. 10 out of 10! Thanks again Callie!”

“Wynema was great! She was willing to take care of our fur baby even though it was short notice and a holiday weekend. She is super friendly and communication was great. She sent us pics daily. Helped us enjoy our weekend away knowing that our boy was being loved on.”
“This was our first time having to leave our dog with someone who isn't family. I was pretty nervous, but Victoria was amazing. We went and met her before his stay so he could check everything out. She was great about introducing him to her dogs. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. It was nice to have peace of mind about leaving him and we will definitely be seeing Victoria again. Highly recommend!”

“I don’t think I could have chosen anyone better to watch my puppy than Michael! From start to finish he was so kind, communicative, and very clearly has a huge passion for dogs. Throughout the whole stay he sent regular updates with photos/videos and thoughtful messages, and I was so relieved knowing she was being cared for as if she was his own. Maggie had an absolute blast running around in his spacious yard and playing with his amazing and formidable Lily Lou! Michael was so patient with all of Maggie’s silly habits and bad puppy manners, he was also incredibly flexible with his schedule and when our plans changed. Overall he made the whole experience totally stress free. I’m so thankful that I found him, he’s truly the best and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again! 10/10 recommend. Thank you so much Michael! 🥰”
“Kate was the best choice I could have made to board my dogs with. She communicated clearly from the start and throughout the entire time of the boarding. I recieved pictures and updates multiple times a day. There was no stone left unturned or request not responded to. At no time did I think my dogs were not well taken care of. I suggest you choose Kate if you are looking for a private boarder.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Eight Mile is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 132 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Eight Mile. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Eight Mile 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 Eight Mile 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 Eight Mile.
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 Eight Mile 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.
