“Our first experience with Rover was awesome. Corey made us feel at ease and sent us a great picture of Archie having the time of his life. If Archie could talk I know he would say that his stay was fun-filled and active and that he can't wait to return! He came home and immediately went to sleep. I think we are all looking forward to his return visit - he truly came home a very happy dog!”
“Kristin is great! Bella stayed a few days with her, her first spend the night away in a very long time. We are so thankful to have found her and didn’t worry at all while we were gone.”
“Our dogs think they are at Doggy Disney when they stay with Jennifer. They love her and her pups. It is a happy and playful environment for them. They come home happy and exhausted from play. HIGHLY recommend!!!”
“My dogs were very happy and the family did a great job sitting and caring for my 2 dogs; nice fenced back yard for them to play, plenty of playtime inside too. I'd highly recommend Terwrin !!”
“Emalie was great with our two cats. She went above and beyond by getting their nails clipped for us and everything. Great place for all animals. I will be using her again in the future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Kathryn was very responsive and so kind to our sweet baby boy, Charlie. He had a great time and she sent lots of pictures and answered promptly when we checked in on him. Thanks so much for giving us peace of mind while we were out of town. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Penny spent a week with Lindsey and her pack and she seemed to be very happy and content with her stay. Lindsey provided updates every morning and evening, letting me know that Penny had eaten her food and what she had done for the day. She also included pictures in which I could tell Penny was having fun. During her visit it was July 4 and Penny is extremely scared of fireworks. Lindsey made a safe space for Penny and checked on her consistently. I feel that Penny was in good hands with Lindsey and her family. I would not hesitate to leave Penny with Lindsay again!”
“Belinda was great with our two pups, handled all the intricacies and their needs with ease. The next time we’re in the area and need to board she will be our first call. Thank you!!”
“Susan was a wonderful sitter and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is kind and accommodating to take care of their dog. She sent regular updates that included pictures and made us feel at ease that our dog was being well taken care of. Our dog seemed relaxed and comfortable and had plenty of attention and time outside. Thank you Susan!”
“Taylor was very nice and accommodating. Maggie seemed to have a great time and played with her dog Piper which my dog needs socializing as she is only 7 months old and an only pet. I would recommend Taylor to anyone and I’m sure I’ll use her again if Maggie wasn’t too much trouble while there with Taylor 😜😜. She kept in touch everyday and sent videos of the dogs playing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 😊”
“Christina made sure that Dolly was living her best life while she stayed at their home. Communication was excellent, photos were definitely appreciated, and we will certainly use Christina & Gabriel again. Dolly thought she was the one on vacation!”
“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.”

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.
100% 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
