About: We’re a working couple with no children and one dog of our own, living in a home with a secure fenced-in yard. We love dogs and want to provide a safe, comfortable home environment for one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets plenty of individual attention. Because we work during the day, dogs will be crated while we’re working, but we make sure they get regular potty and play breaks every 2–4 hours. Once the workday is over, they’re out with us for the evening and get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. We have experience caring for senior dogs, large breeds, and dogs with medical needs, and we’re comfortable following specific routines, medications, feeding schedules, and care instructions. Our goal is to make your dog feel safe and at home while you’re away. We keep our guest list intentionally small because we believe quality attention is more important than taking multiple dogs at once. If your dog enjoys a quiet home, a fenced yard, regular breaks, and lots of love, we’d be happy to welcome them! 🐶❤️ We work full time but are available to come home for potty breaks and play time during the day. In the evenings and on weekends your dog will be free to play and run during the day I have a fenced in yard as well as a large outdoor kennel if needed. Dogs will be crated while we are away and free while we are at home.
About: Hi! I’m from the southern states and love beach walks and keeping active! I’d love to walk your pup! I have puppies of my own back home and could use some pup snuggles/walks! I have plenty of time to work around your schedule! I’d love to pick up some walks daily. I love closing my Apple Watch rings😁 so daily walks are a must for me. Even better with a doggy! I don’t prefer to do over nights or in my home since I don’t have the friendliest environment for a dog. However, I would love taking them on walks.
About: Your dog will be cared for like part of our family, with plenty of attention, affection and individualized care. I work from home, so let’s in my care aren’t left alone for long stretches of the day. I have more than 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up in a home with multiple pets and rescues, and over the years have fostered numerous dogs as well. I understand how important routines are , so I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medication, exercise, potty breaks and sleep. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, I provide regular photos updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and getting lots of attention. Since I work from home, I’m available throughout the day to care for your dog. Each day, I ensure your pet gets regular walks, playtime, and cuddles, along with any specific care they need. My Shih Poo, who is very social, helps make every dog feel at home and welcome. In my home, I provide a calm and secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed and comfortable. We live in a non-smoking home with a fenced in yard.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and I also have my own dog, Bonnie, who is a beloved part of my family. Caring for Bonnie has taught me how important it is to provide pets with patience, love, attention, and a consistent routine. I am comfortable with feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, keeping pets company, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I always take the time to learn their routine and make them feel at home. I am a responsible, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give them plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I will also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

I will make sure every pet feels comfortable and safe around her and receives plenty of individual attention as well. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel like part of the family. I have my own dog, Bonnie, and I am very attentive to her safety and well-being. My yard is not fenced, so I never allow Bonnie to go outside without being on a leash. I would follow the same routine with your pet and always take them outside on a leash to make sure they are safe and secure. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will closely supervise your pet, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care throughout their stay.

“I don’t think I could have chosen anyone better to watch my puppy than Michael! From start to finish he was so kind, communicative, and very clearly has a huge passion for dogs. Throughout the whole stay he sent regular updates with photos/videos and thoughtful messages, and I was so relieved knowing she was being cared for as if she was his own. Maggie had an absolute blast running around in his spacious yard and playing with his amazing and formidable Lily Lou! Michael was so patient with all of Maggie’s silly habits and bad puppy manners, he was also incredibly flexible with his schedule and when our plans changed. Overall he made the whole experience totally stress free. I’m so thankful that I found him, he’s truly the best and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with him again! 10/10 recommend. Thank you so much Michael! 🥰”
“Boarding our 7 month old springer spaniel with Kimberly provided such a peace of mind! She was very responsive and easy to work with from the start. She sent regular updates while we were traveling, which we greatly appreciated, too! Georgie seemed to be quite at home and loved having two friends to play with. At the end of our trip we picked up a happy and tired boy from a fun-filled 6 days. Would absolutely recommend and book with Kimberly again!”
About: I’ve taken care of every pet you can imagine and have enjoyed meeting and growing a bond with each and every one! I feel very blessed and grateful for all my pet parents that continue to trust me to love and spoil their fur babies 🐾 I'm available seven days a week! Recently quit my day job to pursue my passion again.. pet sitting! I love spending my days loving and spoiling your precious fur babies! My neighborhood has clean safe sidewalks with plenty of shade during those sunny summer days! I also have a partially fenced in yard where we can take leashed potty walks.
About: Just a chill pet lover! Would love to share this with your animals! New friends for treats or walks, either way they will be treated like royalty! In most of my free time I love to meet new pets and fill in when the pet parents are busy at work or traveling! I make sure to follow any and all instructions given to me while in a customers home, or at my own! I would love to host your pets!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairhope
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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
