“Cory was amazing. His communication is very efficient and personable. Rosie slept for 24 hours after all her fun times with him running out her almost 1 year old puppy energy!! We were evacuating for Hurricane Ida, and he was very accommodating about our last minute schedule change. He even bathed her for a small fee before pick up. I have already recommended him to friends in Fairhope. He’s perfect for active, kennel trained dogs.”
“Kristin was great from start to finish! She made sure to send updates every day with pictures and our pups loved playing with hers! We will definitely be using her again for our next trip!!”
“Jennifer was absolutely amazing with our babies! The drop of and pick up was a breeze and she kept us updated each day with pictures and daily messages. Leaving our babies is so hard and finding someone who cares for them as much as we do. We hit the jackpot with Jennifer! We will absolutely be using her again. She even sent up home with a “happy” for our spoiled babies. 100% above and beyond anything we could have imagined and we are so thankful.”
“Cheryl was very kind and helped ease my mind about leaving my Pup. Her fur babies helped my Teddy feel at home and he truly enjoyed staying with them. I am thankful she was available me to help me. Her updates were greatly appreciated. I encourage anyone to consider using Cheryl for the pet needs!”
“10/10 fur-baby-sitter! Celeste and her husband were very helpful when moving the dog crate in and out of their home. Celeste would also consistently send me pictures and updates about my fur baby while I was away! They were very accommodating to his odd tendencies and high maintenance, and they even sent him home with a little doggy goodie bag! I think my pet had a fun little weekend, especially since he had other dogs to keep him company, and I am very happy with the service given by Celeste and their husband. I will be using them again whenever I take another trip out of town!”
“Jacob had great communication and took great care of our dogs. They seemed happy and relaxed during their stay and came home happy and tired. We are looking forward to using Jacob again!”
“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 !”
“Terwrin was great with our puppy. This was his first night away from home but he seemed to enjoy it. She even sent us a couple of photos while we were away! Highly recommend!”
“Ashley and Weston are very good at pet boarding. We left our 18-month old Vizsla with them overnight. He is a ball of energy. They knew what they were getting and handled it without incident. Will use again. Highly recommend.”
“Belinda is a wonderful host! She gave Ellie a loving and safe place to stay while we were on vacation. I wish I could give her 10 stars! She gave me daily updates and sent photos and videos throughout the day. I would highly recommend and will use her services again. Thank you Belinda!!”
“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 😊”
“Lindsey is awesome! Great communication - she provided updates throughout Kai & Piper's stay and my fur babies had a great time playing in her large yard! I highly recommend Lindsey.”
“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”
“We so appreciate Kim and Kerry taking such good care of Jack and Gunner! Communication was wonderful! By the pictures Kim sent us throughout their stay we knew they were comfortable and felt at home!”
“My golden Clark stayed with Susan for 9 days while we went on a trip. Susan sent pictures and we were able to fully enjoy our time away because we knew Clark was in good hands. Due to recent medical issues, Clark has required medications daily and Susan was very receptive and helpful in making sure he didn’t miss a dose. Will definitely rebook for our next trip!”
“Kathryn was great with my pups. They were worn out after I picked them up so they must have had a lot of play time. She took them in on short notice. I highly recommend her and will consider an hour and a half drive next time I need a sitter for more than the day. Can't thank her enough.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Fairhope is $36
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairhope
Katie was very kind to our senior English Shepherd Scout. She met with us the day before Scout stayed with her. It was very easy to talk to Katie and explain her needs. We arranged drop off and pickup times very easily. We highly recommend Katie as a dog caregiver and will definitely arrange for Scout to stay with her whenever we return to the area.
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 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 293 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fairhope. 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 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.
