“Jennifer is the best!!! Henry (an only dog) was so happy there, and so enjoyed his vacation and playing with Jennifer and her dogs, he acted like he wanted to stay 😁. We’re so grateful for her giving Henry a home away from home - and she takes amazing photos and kept us updated on the good times he was having. His next stay with her is already booked!”
“Ann was such a wonderful pet sitter for our 1 year old cavapoo! We left town for 2 weeks for our wedding and honeymoon and I was a wreck about leaving her for the first time. Boarding did not feel right and when I did a home visit with Ann my pup and I felt immediately at home! I knew she would be cared for in a loving home environment and we got updates daily with how she was doing, with photos. Thank you so much Ann, we will definitely be in touch in the future!”

“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 .”
“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.”
“The best dog care you could ever have. Very friendly, right on time. Everything is comfortable, the service, you can trust her with your dog, worries free. She really makes time to play with your dog and give so much care. She deserve more than the pay she ask for, you will never regret boarding the dog to her, they got back yard and your dog will have so much fun.”
“Michael was simply awesome! Our sweet Daisy warmed up to him immediately, and made some new friends too! I will use him EVERY TIME I need boarding care. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Our puppy has a wonderful time! We got the cutest photo and video updates each day. She had a blast playing with the other dogs as well. We didn’t worry one bit the whole time we were on vacation. The process was very easy and convenient.”
“Ruben was perfect for our fur baby. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and sent loads of pics of Jack having a good time. He went above and beyond with her and his extra attention was greatly appreciated. Will definitely contact Ruben again next time we travel.”
“Once again, Callie was great with our dog! I love that she is so friendly, flexible, and she sends the best pictures! She could really charge for her photography skills as well (our boy is SUPER hyper so i can never get a good picture of him). I don't worry about him getting loose with her like I have with previous pet sitters. Highly recommend using Callie!”
“Lauri is very sweet, professional and just makes you and your dog feel comfortable and at home. I never for a minute hesitated to leave Bentley with her after meeting and visiting her. It’s such a good feeling leaving your fur baby with someone you can trust. Thank you Lauri for a great experience!”
“Coco had the best time with Cheryl. She sent videos every day and Coco was so happy playing with her dogs. I could tell she didn't want to leave when I picked her up and I don't think Cheryl's dogs wanted her to leave either.”
“Amazing people! My dogs had so much fun this weekend and got spoiled with lots of treats! Lots of videos and pictures to go along with their fun weekend away from home.”

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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fairhope on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 .

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 Fairhope 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 Fairhope 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 Fairhope 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 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 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.
