“Second time to use Natalie, and we were not disappointed! She and her family were very caring and treated my dog as if he were part of their family. He came home tired and I believe a little disappointed that the fun had to end. We will definitely return!”
“Our boy had a blast at Terwrin's! We received pictures and updates daily. He even got some couch time! He was happy when we picked him up. Terwrin even had him and his things ready to go, to minimize the chaos, when we arrived. We definitely felt at ease leaving him and will book again. Thank you for showing our Winston some love for a few days!”
“Sofia was an absolute godsend. She's incredibly dependable, professional and kind. And it's a bonus that she's a vet tech. I had never left my dog with a stranger before, so I was nervous about leaving her for a weekend. But Sofia was so communicative and responsive that my anxiety quickly vanished. I will 100% user her again.”
“Finding Lindsey is the biggest blessing! I just moved to gulf shores with my puppy and have to go out of town to shoot weddings from time to time. I was so worried about leaving my fur baby in the right hands. Sandy (my dog) had so much fun at their BEAUTIFUL, spacious home that sits on so much land. She played in a sand pit and kiddie pool and I got updates all throughout the day of her having the time of her life. I don’t know what happened in those 3 days, but Sandy came back smarter than ever. She probably took some notes from their older dog Finn! Finn is Sandy’s first friend and I know she can’t wait to be reunited with him and Lindsey’s sweet family! Lindsey is really the best option for boarding.”
“Kenny and Olga were fantastic! They had great communication, were super friendly and have a lovely, clean, safe home. I felt like Buster was very well taken care of. I would highly recommend and will be using them again in the future 😊”
“My first time leaving my dog with anyone. I can hands down say they are the nicest people I’ve ever met. They truly love and enjoy dogs. Treated my flash like their own and sent tons of photos of his time there! Huge fenced in back yard and plenty of love while they are watching your fur babies! Thankful to of found them!”

“Caroline was absolutely amazing with our sweet Jackson! We needed a sitter the same day, and she came through for us without hesitation. She kept us updated, communicated every step of the way, and treated Jackson like he was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby. Thank you again ..we’ll definitely be booking with you in the future!”

Overall we were very happy with Lily and would definitely use her services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairhope
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.

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 Fairhope 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 Fairhope home-away-from-home, 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 Fairhope.
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 Fairhope 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 , 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 .
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.
