“Kelly took extremely good care of our two pugs. One is 5 and the other is not quite 2. She has a yard where they could run and play which I am sure they loved because we do not have a yard they can play off leash on (more like a tick farm). The boys came home very happy and have collapsed on our laps to recuperate for their next adventure. I will book Kelly & Brian again when the need arises.”
“Hope was great with our baby! I was afraid Freckles would be difficult, because she can be a little grumpy with unfamiliar dogs. Hope was patient and introduced each dog one at a time. Freckles even made a friend with Dolly. I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her. Her home was very clean and plenty of toys to play with.”
“Ben did a wonderful job watching our two dogs. He has a beautiful property with plenty of space and was great about sending us pictures and keeping us updated. Both our dogs loved Ben. They kept running back to him to say bye when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ben again in the future and highly recommend him.”
“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”
“Brett was fantastic with our pet. He kept him healthy, happy, and safe. He sent us updates and was quick to respond when we messaged him. We will definitely use him again with the situation arises.”
“My dog is quirky. Not everyone can handle him well. Becky was great with him! Our meet & greet left me with complete confidence to leave Filos in her care. She text daily updates and pictures, which kept me from worrying and ruining my vacation. I highly recommend Becky and definitely use her again.”
“Shannon and her family were great! My high energy puppy was well taken care of and looked like he was having a lot of fun. Shannon sent me plenty of pictures and stayed in good contact with me while I was out of town. I will use Shannon again next time I need a sitter!”
“Connie was the best! Casper enjoyed playing with her fur babies! She even got him off the puppy pads and do his business outside. She is warm and friendly and made me feel that Casper will be cared for!”

“I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful job Ashley did caring for my dog. Knowing that my Athena was in such loving hands made our time apart so much easier. Your dedication, patience, and kindness did not go unnoticed, and I am deeply appreciative of the extra effort you put in. Thank you for being such a reliable and compassionate caretaker. It means more to me than words can say.”
“Jennifer was AMAZING. She took excellent care of our dog. He has lots of health issues and therefore lots of specific needs—and she was so attentive and responsive for each one. Our dog had lots of fun and I could tell he really loved her when I came to pick him up. She sent us pictures and sweet videos every day with updates. We are just so grateful for her and her kindness!”
About: I've had my two dogs since they were puppies and they are now 7 years old. My Ella had puppies a few years ago so I have experience with all age ranges of dogs. I currently work part-time on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturdays nights. I'm currently pregnant so I plan to take this on full time and quit my current part job. I have a pretty big yard and I'm in a very calm and quiet neighborhood. I have two fur babies that would love to keep your dog company. I do own a large dog crate if it is needed. My home is animal friendly since I have dogs already.
About: I have several clients and I love watching other people pets while they are away, and want to make sure your pet still gets love I love to send updates, and pictures so you know how your sweet babies are doing and so I can keep you in the know. Your babies will be in great hands and I will give them lots of love while you are gone. I do work Full Time for the Rocket City Trash Pandas as their Merchandise Coordinator I will walk them, give them lots of cuddles and love, and they can even sleep in the bed with me if you allow it

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Elkmont
Olivia was absolutely wonderful with my spirited Chihuahua mix, Kirby! She was patient, attentive, and so sweet with him, even with his big personality and quirky little ways. I felt completely comfortable knowing Kirby was in such caring and capable hands while I was away. Olivia kept me updated and made sure Kirby got plenty of love, attention, and care throughout his stay. I would absolutely recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and wonderful dog sitter!

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Elkmont 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 Elkmont 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 Elkmont.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elkmont. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Elkmont 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
