“Lauri is always always kind to Meeks, our 90lb baby. Meeks loves to go to Lauri's, to hang out. We fill confident that our dog is being taken care of, and is safe. Thanks Lauri”
“Outstanding, beyond my expectations; in dogs since 1991, this was one of my best experiences in having someone else care for my 3 fur kids. 1st time using Rover, since my regular sitter was not available: easy, wonderful communication, pictures provided of kids relaxing, great location -, gone 8 days, will be a repeat if Ann is available for my next trip. Please consider her and this service, both are a asset to the dog community.”
“We love Lauryn! She takes such good care of Molly and Molly is always so excited to see her! It gives me so much peace of mind to know my fur baby is in good hands!”
About: I watched my friends and families pet whenever they go out of town ever since I was 22, I love being around animals in general. Mostly available in the evenings 3pm until 11pm any day of the week. Sunday through Saturday you can count on me. Glad to help 😊 I have a tea cup Yorkie named Teddy they will keep your pets company and we live in a peaceful apartment where your pet can run and play around and be safe.
“Kalyn was truly amazing! She kept me posted, sent pic’s and let me know the updates; Milo really loved her! And I’m sure he enjoyed his time with Kalyn, definitely 10000% recommended, thank you Kakyn!”
“Callie went above and beyond for my dog! She sent many pictures and updates through her stay. She kept her entertained with toys, walks, and play time with other dogs. She even gave her a bath before I picked her up! I never had to worry if my dog was being taken care of while I was gone, and I will definitely continue to use Callie in the future!”
“Our dogs think they are at Doggy Disney when they stay with Jennifer. They love her and her pups. It is a happy and playful environment for them. They come home happy and exhausted from play. HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“Tim is a great petsitter and my dog love him . He always sent me pictures and answers my questions about my dog . And the most import thing was my dog had a good time with him .”
“Kristin was great with my dogs. She gave medicine for one and cooked them special foods that I brought. She sent pictures and videos and was very prompt with any questions/concerns I had. I’d definitely recommend Kristin for your pup!”
“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.”
“Was very accommodating and good energy. Took very good care of our puppies. We had 3 large dogs they took care of for the weekend and dropped off at our house.”
“Sofia has been the perfect host for Teddy ! I cannot recommend her enough. She was so gentle and caring for Teddy, he could not have been in a better home! Thank you again Sofia !”
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
“We traveled from MN to vacation in Gulf Shores, AL. This was our first time using Rover. He has a wonderful yard/set up. We felt confident in leaving our Chocolate Lab with Corey for 5 nights. Corey is very easy going and mellow which we like (especially for our chocolate Lab puppy). I will recommend Corey to my family and friends.”
“Morgan helped us out on short notice with the care of our golden retriever. Drop off and pick up was truly a pleasure, Morgan has a wonderful personality! We look forward to booking her again.”
“This was Rebel’s first experience with Rover & I don’t think it could’ve gone any better with Denise! She spoiled him with walks & visits to the dog park, which made him happy! Definitely will be using again ?”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Eight Mile on Rover is $38.85 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 131 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 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 Eight Mile 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 Eight Mile 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 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.
