“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!”
“Our dog Oscar was well loved and taken care of while we were gone. Daily updates and photos helped us know he was happy. We will for sure use Christina and Gabriel again!!!!”
“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 is amazing! She and her family welcomed my kitties, Lucius and Bella, into their home with welcome arms. It was a stressful week as we made settlement on our new home, but one thing I did not need to worry about was my cats as I knew they were well cared for by Taylor.”
“Gabrielle went way above and beyond while looking after my two dogs! They enjoyed at least two walks per day and frequent visits and lots of TLC, as well as some unexpected perks regarding behavior modification, i.e. she got one of my dogs to bark less! She was an absolute gem and frequently sent videos and photos of my dogs when I was away for three nights. I highly recommend using Gabrielle for your next special friend sitter!”
“Absolutely wonderful I stayed up to date on my boys and they seemed to have a great time. Both her and her husband just have a very welcoming pet friendly home and you can tell that they really enjoy spending time with the animals. I will definitely be using them again for my next work trips.”
“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.”
“Kerry and Kim took such great care of my Bennie! I was a little apprehensive since it was his first time away from me for an extended period of time, but was immediately put at ease upon meeting Kim. She was sweet, assuring, and sent pictures throughout the day. I greatly appreciate the care she and her husband Kerry gave to my boy!”
“Sue and Gary were great, very kind. They took great care of my boy. I. Wish I’d gotten more picture updates, because I miss him so much when I leave him with others, so they still get 5 stars.”
“Caroline was absolutely amazing with our sweet Jackson! We needed a sitter the same day, and she came through for us without hesitation. She kept us updated, communicated every step of the way, and treated Jackson like he was her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend Caroline to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby. Thank you again ..we’ll definitely be booking with you in the future!”
“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”

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 301 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fairhope. About 95% 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
