“Jennifer is the BEST!! She loved our pup like her own for a long 9 day stay! We got updates multiple times a day and I think Harper was sad to leave her! We won’t be sending her to anyone else!”
“Wow! Kristin did an amazing job watching our high energy dogs! It's hard to find a person with such great expertise, love and care especially with our young puppy. Both of our dogs really enjoyed their stay and she is totally trustworthy and reliable. She really goes the extra mile in caring for dogs. I hope to book again with her in the future!”
“Cheryl did a great job with our dog Kenna. She was very attentive to her needs and was great about sending pictures and videos every day despite caring for a couple of other dogs as well.”
“My fur baby was so well taken care of. I was updated with pictures during his stay. Im guessing he had lots of play time as he came home and wanted to play. Sweet and jumping around with a toy I was so happy to see him this way. So im assuming he enjoyed his time with other dogs.”
“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.”
“Trisha is awesome. We are very comfortable leaving Maggie in her care. Been out of town for a week and Trisha kept us informed every day. Will definitely use her again.”
“Belinda was awesome! She is definately a dog person! Our 3 pups invaded her home for a day. She and her husband took it in stride. Thdy were fed, snuggled and loved. What wonderful people! Very flexible and a delight to work with. I would absolutely have them take care of my pups again.”
“Our 7 pound Yorky had a blast over the weekend. Was as if you were their own and I didn’t worry about him one time. I intend to lean on Lindsay again in the future when I need someone to watch tux! Go ahead and book her. She is so sweet and so is her family. She’ll take excellent care of your pup.”
“Jacob was great with our buddy, Scout! He was super communicative and kind. Sent lots of photos and videos throughout our booking, and was timely with pickup and drop off. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pup!”
“Michael watched my 70lb GSP for a week while I was on a work trip. He sent daily updates and photos, reassuring me Bruno was having a good time and was well cared for. I highly recommend Michael as a pet sitter- and he will be my first call for all future needs!”
“Brennon was amazing!! He was very good at updates and making our dog feel at home. When we came back it was like our dog had been on his very own vacation!! We’ll definitely be back. Thank you!!”
“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
“Very pleased with our days of boarding our dog with Samantha. Very friendly family, great experience, lots of good communication and pictures. Would highly recommend, and would also reuse this family in the future.”
“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 😊”
“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 entire experience from scheduling the doggie sleepover to pickup was fantastic!! At drop off Celeste and her husband were welcoming to both myself and my dog Eddie. Soon after drop off I received pictures of Eddie playfully Interacting with their two dogs. Later I received pictures and video of Eddie lounges in the living room. The pictures really helped me relax and enjoy my weekend away, knowing Eddie was in great hands!!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Fairhope is $38
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairhope
It's hard to imagine a better dog-sitting experience than the one Cheryl provided. From the moment we walked in, her home felt like the perfect cozy retreat for dogs. Ruthy and Zulu clearly had an amazing time, as evidenced by the photos and videos she shared. Cheryl is a true dog lover who quickly understood and accommodated the unique quirks and personalities of our pups. It was a fantastic experience for all of us—giving us complete peace of mind while ensuring our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
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 July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
