“First time using Colleen for daycare, she did a wonderful job with our little picky guy. Teddy had a great time playing and snuggling each day. Communication each day went smoothly. Colleen made drop off and pickup a breeze. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a young child. Dogs are a joy and I love having them around. Each and every dog I’ve cared for gets plenty of attention within my household. Special care requests will be accommodated as much as possible. I am retired and a stay at home dad. This allows me to be home with your fur baby throughout the day and night. Your pup will have constant and consistent supervision throughout the day. If I need to leave the house for any reason, all dogs will be put in their safe place. I have a fenced yard and three small friendly dogs. I can crate your pup if requested or easily separate any dogs when needed. I do have plenty of dog toys for your pup to enjoy. During feeding time, all dogs are separated and watched closely.
“Ben is one of the best dog sitters Lamby’s met! He was available last minute and even helped us with transport as we only had our RV and finding a pet friendly taxi in town was challenging. Lamb Chop almost wanted to stay with Ben he had such a good day, and he was perfectly tuckered out and content after a fun time.”
“Provided excellent care for my fur baby! He really enjoyed himself and tired himself out! They sent pictures and video throughout the day to reassure my baby was fine and okay! I appreciate the service provided”
“Great communication. Flexible timing. August was so warm and welcoming to our girls. Accepted our last minute request and allowed us a dog-free day of adventure along our road trip.”
“Tiffany and her family are awesome! It was obvious that they all enjoy having fur babies visit. They were all so welcoming to me and my pup. This was my first time leaving my puppy --- but the home was safe and clean and I felt comfortable leaving her. I knew that my baby girl was safe and happy all day... and she came home soo tired!! :). She made friends with the other dogs and played with the couple's beautiful little one year old baby all day! Tiffany gave me updates throughout the whole day and was so respectful of my wishes regarding training. She provided me a full report: the good and the "bad"! My puppy Brinley enjoyed her stay and can't wait to go back.”
“Kira is fantastic . She loves my senior boxers and Is always with them in daycare. Fenced in backyard and picks them up in the morning as well. Than you for loving my fur babies.....”
“Hope was great! She sent several updates during the day and made sure my dog was comfortable. She was also very flexible and was able to book us last minute. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
About: I am highly skilled in animal care. I have been pet sitting and caring for animals for 30+ years. I treat my animals and client animals like my children. I have worked in the animal medical field and have been a Veterinary Assistant for 30 years. I can give medications and follow recommended medical treatment for all animals. I personally have a working mini farm. I am willing to farm set also. I have experience with horses, donkeys, goats and poultry. I do work 3 days a week. But I usually only pet sit on the days that I am available, so that I am able to give the pets the best care and attention. I can come to your home for pet walking or letting them outside for a frolic. I offer feeding, and medication giving. This can be pills or injections (insulin if needed). I have a fenced in back yard. I am willing to allow trusted dogs to go off leash. Leash walking is no problem at all. I do have 5 small dogs under 10 lbs. Ages ranging from 1 yr to 13 yrs old. All very well behaved.
“Stephanie was great with our little dog. Very responsive to his needs. He had a great time playing at her house and loved her yard. She was very flexible with our schedule which was so helpful. I would definitely bring him back to her house if we are ever in the Huntsville area again.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old and have always had a love for them! My experience includes volunteering at an animal shelter, dog walking, and providing pet check-ins for neighbors and friends. During visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in being patient, reliable, and attentive. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! Since I work remotely, I'll be home most of the day and have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and keep your pup company during their stay. When you schedule boarding with me, I’ll add in a complimentary bath! 🐶 Your fur baby will have plenty of space to play in my fully fenced yard! They’re welcome to join the family on the furniture and get comfortable during their stay.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for friends and family, including overnight stays, daytime drop-offs, and extended stays. I’m usually the first person people ask for a sitter given that I work remotely! I’ve had pets, both dogs and cats, all my life. I absolutely love animals and treat any as my own. I’m caring, patient, and will definitely give your babies all my love!! I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I can easily work regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, walks, and cuddles into my day. Given this, I have full availability all week! I have a 1,500 sq. ft. apartment, so there is plenty of room for your furbaby to comfortably roam and play! I share the apartment with my partner, Liam, who is a huge animal lover and very friendly with pets! I’ll always be the primary and sole caregiver for your pet, but he’ll be around the apartment here and there during their stay to give some extra love. :) My community also has an on-site dog park, multiple grassy areas, and paved walking trails, giving us lots of options for potty breaks, walks, and playtime. 🐾 In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow their instructions and their pet’s normal routine closely. Regardless of where I’m caring for your pet, I make sure doors and gates are secure, pets are appropriately supervised, and they have plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, play, and rest. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos throughout your pet’s stay so you always know your furbaby is safe, happy, and doing well! ❤️
“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”
“We had a great experience! Griffin was very well cared for and I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout his stay, it gave me a lot of peace of mind. Morgan has a wonderful setup and Griffin had a great time playing and exploring (especially with her retriever, Popcorn!) It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Griffin came home happy and relaxed and we’ll definitely be booking again!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Elkmont commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 159 sitters in Elkmont, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
