“This was my first time using rover and not gonna lie I was kinda nervous with the idea of leaving cooper with someone I didn’t really know but Jennifer was so nice and communicated amazing from the very beginning. Cooper had the most amazing day and has been asleep since I picked him up, which as a puppy owner many of you can agree is the most amazing time to be a puppy owner lol but over all 10/10 experience.”

“Highly recommend! Chance had a great time the last three days with Samantha and her family. He was exhausted each afternoon from all the play and exercise. We wish we could come every day! Will be back!!”

“What a wonderful person. Came through for us last minute, sent so many photos, treated my baby like her own. It was my first time leaving him and she made it so pleasant.”

About: I grew up on a farm and have always had animals and especially dogs and cats. I am a retired nurse and have gone from caring for people to caring for pets. I will love and care for your babies while you are away. I am a retired nurse who has a lot of free time. I have friends who are pet/house sitters. I love animals and I have kept and cared for family and friends pets while owners were away. Never worry about your pets again when you need to be away. I have a golden retriever that has a super sweet disposition and he had been around other pets and plays well with others. I will only care for 1 pet at a time unless pets come from same family.
“Cheyenne is such a jewel! Very welcoming to my pup and I. Dallas enjoyed her and her family! It made me feel good that I could leave him with such a lovable family. Thank you so much!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was born, and I can’t imagine life without them. I currently have two dogs of my own and have spent years caring for family dogs as well. Providing excellent care for dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take pride in making sure they feel safe, loved, and well attended to. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I treat every dog like a member of the family. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may need a little extra patience and attention. I am also comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs who may be recovering from illness or injury. I understand the importance of following care instructions closely and paying attention to each dog’s unique needs, routine, and personality. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I am home throughout most of the day and able to dedicate plenty of time, attention, and care to the pets in my home. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. With a flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate feeding routines, medication administration, and other special care needs to ensure your pet receives the individualized care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and two friendly pets of my own. I understand that not every pet enjoys socializing, so I have the ability to separate pets and provide their own quiet space when needed. I am also comfortable using kennels or following your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Pets in my care are treated like family and will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles while staying in a safe, welcoming environment.
About: “Unlike many sitters, I’m home all day which means your dog gets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I maintain a peaceful, structured home environment and only take a limited number of dogs to ensure each one receives personalized love and supervision.” “Being home full-time allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. Your dog will be included in our day with regular walks, playtime, and constant supervision in a relaxed, loving home environment “Dogs in my care enjoy a spacious, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and exercise. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood ideal for stress-free walks, and I’m located less than a mile from Loxley Municipal Park for extra activity and enrichment opportunities.”
“Kristin's care is like home away from home. We could tell that it was a good experience as Bella had a very waggy tail :) Will reach out again when we need daycare or an overnight stay!”

About: Hi, I’m a lifelong animal lover and recently retired, which means I have the time, energy, and heart to dedicate to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, a check-in while you’re at work, or keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life and truly understand the importance of patience, care, and attention—especially for pets who are a little shy or take time to warm up. I’m pet-centric in my approach, which means I prioritize your furry friend’s comfort, routines, and happiness. Based in Fairhope, Alabama, I offer dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting with open availability. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and experienced, I’d love to meet you and your pet! Following the lead of your dog, and your wishes, we will create a fun routine of walking, exploring and play throughout the day to maximize our time together. I will care for your pet as if it were my own: with love and respect, and lots of fun. I will walk with your pet at their pace, stopping for smells or running full speed ahead.

About: 🐾 Welcome to Our Home Away From Home! 🐾 I believe every pet deserves to be treated like family. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own dogs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is the most important part of what I do, and I strive to make every visit safe, fun, and stress-free. I encourage meet-and-greets for new clients whenever possible so we can get to know each other, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, and make sure everyone is comfortable before their stay. Boarding Boarding takes place in my home, where your pet will be part of our daily life not left alone in a kennel. I stay home full-time, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks, cuddles, and companionship throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, explore, and burn off energy. My own two dogs love making new friends: * Pumpkin is my “teenager who acts like a senior.” She’s laid-back, sweet, and enjoys relaxing just as much as playing. * Molly is a six-month-old puppy with lots of energy who loves to play and make new friends. Whether your pet enjoys zoomies in the yard or curling up for a nap, I’ll do my best to match their comfort level and routine. Personalized Care Every pet is different, and every family has different expectations. I’ll happily follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise preferences, and any special routines that help your pet feel at home. My goal is to keep their experience as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. You’ll also receive updates and photos, because I know how important it is to know your pet is happy and well cared for. My Experience Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Along with professional experience caring for pets, I grew up helping care for neighborhood pets and family animals. Those experiences taught me that patience, consistency, and genuine love make all the difference. When you book with me, you’re not just finding someone to watch your pet, you’re choosing someone who will welcome them into the family and treat them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet receives the time and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, routines, and exercise while maintaining a clean, secure environment. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and my two friendly dogs adore other fur babies and enjoy making new friends. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable care, patience, and regular updates. 🐾
About: I've owned a Rhodesian Ridgeback, a Shi-poo, and now a Bernie Doodle. The Bernie doodle is three years old and kind and welcoming. The cat will hang out at a distance. I am retired and "working" from home. I have the time to commit to taking care of your pets' needs during the early mornings, daytime, and evening. Overnight if needed. My home has a fenced back yard. I am home all day so they will be let out often if staying here and am available during day for walks and check ins. Our house is calm and quiet. If at your home, your pet will be taken care of per your instructions. I love to play fetch, run them in backyard, walk them, and certainly love on them to make them feel loved, exercised, and relaxed.
About: I am a responsible single empty nester and I am looking for furry friends to love on. I am an animal lover and pet owner and I will treat your pet as my own. I am available for daily drop ins while you are away. I know how precious our four legged family members are and I will take very good care of your babies, big or small, dog or cat, I love them all and I will be ready to keep your mind at ease while you are away! I work a flexible shift and can arrange pet care around my work schedule any day of the week. I could come to your home early and late before and after my shift. Adjustments can be made, so feel free to reach out and we can come up with a schedule together. When I come to your home, I will spend time playing with and exercising your babies. I will follow all instructions, no matter the request, and make sure they are comfortable before I leave.
About: All throughout my life I have taken care of animals. Now that I am older everyone from family to friends ask me to take care of their pets. It started off small, but I fall in love with animals more and more everyday. So much so that now I am studying to be a vet! I work part time, so I am available whenever for dog walking, overnight, or even just drop in visits for some daily attention when life gets too busy! I have no other animals at my home, so it would be a one on one experience with great care. When taking care of pets at someone else’s home I check in 3-4 times a day and stay overnight if the client would like. I can also provide many references from bookings I have done outside of Rover.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Fairhope commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 219 sitters in Fairhope, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
