“We had a last minute suprise trip over the holidays and Michael was immediately available to help, even though the trip spanned over a holiday. He was incredibly easy, responsive and kind. We were nervous using Rover but I would 100% recommend him. Thank you, Michael!”
“Tierney did a fantastic job keeping my dogs for a week while we were out of town getting married. My dogs loved her dogs and they all played so hard together. She kept on communication with me and even sent me pictures and videos while we were away. I will hire her again for all my boarding needs.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Terri is absolutely amazing. This was our first time using Rover and we were hesitant with leaving our baby with a stranger but that was quickly resolved after speaking with Terri, who even offered a meet & greet a few days prior to the booking. She is very quick and responsive to our questions and sent pictures and videos of our frenchie enjoying his time with her. She also has a pup named Zeus who is the chillest and sweetest dog ever. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Morgan helped us out on short notice with the care of our golden retriever. Drop off and pick up was truly a pleasure, Morgan has a wonderful personality! We look forward to booking her again.”
“Ellie really enjoyed staying with Ivania and her dog, Lex. She went the extra mile to make sure Ellie was well taken care of and was very accommodating during the booking process. If you're looking for a great dog sitter, look no further!”
“Patty was very responsive and made sure my puppy got to do all her favorite things while we were away. She made her feel as at home as possible. I would definitely use her again to watch our baby.”
“Taylor was great with my cat! She kept me updated on her well-being and Micha was happy when she returned. Taylor has experience with insulin injections and helped administer them to my diabetic cat which was a life saver. Wonderful stay.”
“Tammie took such good care of Piper! We loved all of the pictures she sent of Piper having such a good time. She treated Piper like she was part of her family. We would definitely recommend letting her keep your fur babies (unless there’s a conflict when WE need her!)”
About: I am an animal lover looking to make a little extra income while working 5 day a week job as well. I have had dogs and cats all my life, so I am experienced. I also have 2 kids, for boarding, pups would need to well experienced with kids as well as other dogs! We have a fenced in yard and the dogs can be separated. I can watch the fur babies on weekends or nights of the week as well, if needed. I do some grooming as well, so bath and groom can be added. Owners can specify anything else needed. I work 8-5 currently 5 days a week so it would be after work time mostly 5-7 or local in my lunch break 11 or 1 . Fenced in yard they go out to play 2-3 times a day and get fed before bed. They are placed in kennels to eat as well as sleep.
“Outstanding, beyond my expectations; in dogs since 1991, this was one of my best experiences in having someone else care for my 3 fur kids. 1st time using Rover, since my regular sitter was not available: easy, wonderful communication, pictures provided of kids relaxing, great location -, gone 8 days, will be a repeat if Ann is available for my next trip. Please consider her and this service, both are a asset to the dog community.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Fairhope is $38
Pet 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.

There are 299 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fairhope. About 94% of Fairhope sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
