“This was my third time to board my pup in Natalie’s home. Natalie and her family are amazing and go above and beyond to meet my pup’s needs. I dropped him off with tummy issues and received many updates on how he was doing throughout the stay. No need to look further, Natalie and her family will love your fur baby as their own!”
“Jennifer was nice enough to take my dog Bixby at the last minute when my previous dog sitting arrangements changed. She took excellent care of Bixby. She sent multiple updates and photos. The dogs could be outside in her fenced backyard. I would highly recommend Jennifer to care for your pet.”
“Kristina did great with our very energetic pup! We were pleased with her care. Kristins entire family met us and responded well to having Coco. She sent us pictures throughout the week of all the fun Coco was having. We will definitely use Kristin if she's available for future trips!”
“Terwrin was great. She kept me informed on Maggie’s stay and sent pictures. Maggie had a great time and loves miss Terwrin also. Highly recommend. I will definitely be a repeat customer. ??”
“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.”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our pups. Our last rover experience was not so pleasant but Michael quickly alleviated any worries. He was so good about sending us pictures every day and showered our babies with so much love. I will definitely be using Michael for our future trips.”
“I had to extend my pet’s current boarding stay since we were returning from our trip later than we originally planned. Atrisha was very accommodating, easy to work with, and provided amazing care to my pet.”
“It is hard to put into words the gratitude and thankfulness we have for Belinda. We are 1,000 miles from home, leaving our dog Lincoln with her for 8 days while we are gone. While we missed Lincoln, we never once worried about his care, allowing my wife and I to fully enjoy our trip. Belinda knows how to welcome and care for a dog that is separated from his family and takes steps to ease the transition and made Lincoln feel relaxed and comfortable. She is very aware where he was at and provided care and support along each step. Belinda also was terrific with constant communication, providing daily updates and pictures to chart his progress. He always had friends to play with and a yard to roam in. We could tell he was having a great time and loved being in Belinda’s care. We recommend Belinda to the highest degree; and, we look forward to having Lincoln stay with her in the future!”
“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!!”
“The set up for dogs is amazing! Oreo definitely enjoyed her stay. I got pictures with updates and felt very comfortable leaving Oreo in capable hands. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.”
“Jacob was very attentive. He followed all the instructions for my old girl. She is on several supplements. He sent great videos and pics. We will definitely be rebooking.”
“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.”
“Lyndsey was amazing!! I did not worry about my anxious dog, because I know she was getting lots of attention. It was such a comfort to see pics of Ali enjoying her stay.”
“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 😊”
“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.”
“Krystal is an amazing, caring, and attentive dog sitter. She took such great care of our dog while we were on vacation to Gulf shores. Our dog has a lot of anxiety when we leave her and when we dropped her off, I could tell she felt more at ease with Krystal and also got along very well with her dog. Krystal sent us updates and photos the whole time we were away which we loved! It was wonderful not having to worry about our dog while we were away as we knew she was in such great care with Krystal. I highly recommend Krystal!”
“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 !”

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 291 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.
