“James and Myrna were amazing! Myrna was sure to send photos and videos of my pup the whole time we were gone. Cairo had a blast at her visit which is apparent by how worn out she is after getting home! We will be sure to use James and Myrna for our future needs! I had no concerns at all that Cairo would be well taken care of when we left!”
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 am home full-time and have a very flexible schedule, making my home a comfortable and welcoming place for your pet to stay. I am available for boarding and can provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. Your pet will also have the company of my sweet dog, Bonnie, who is a friendly and beloved part of our family. 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. My goal is for you to feel confident and comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for in my home.
“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!”
“We had an amazing experience! Our puppy was so well cared for and got tons of attention and play time. Communication was excellent; Anna was highly responsive and sent updates throughout the stay, which gave us great peace of mind. We will absolutely use her services again!”
“Cory was amazing. His communication is very efficient and personable. Rosie slept for 24 hours after all her fun times with him running out her almost 1 year old puppy energy!! We were evacuating for Hurricane Ida, and he was very accommodating about our last minute schedule change. He even bathed her for a small fee before pick up. I have already recommended him to friends in Fairhope. He’s perfect for active, kennel trained dogs.”
“She was amazing with my dog! She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and videos which gave me so much peace of mind. I also really appreciated that she came to meet him the day before so he could get comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend her!”
“my dogs LOVE mia and their family! i usually get home from a trip and get the cold shoulder or anxiety from my boys. this time i think they miss mia as much as they missed me! mia sent me frequent photos and in every single one my boys were having a blast 🧡 i could tell mia really cared about their wellbeing! their medication schedules and my one boy being on prescription food makes me nervous about going to a kennel with so many dogs that they could potentially get looked over. no shade to those businesses but with senior dogs needing specialized care im so grateful we found mia. will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Callie is excellent!! She is very responsive and took our Shih Tzu Cooky on very short notice. She kept us updated with pictures. I knew without a doubt after leaving Cooky, she was in the best hands possible. We were able to enjoy our weekend without any worries and highly recommend Callie. Thank you Callie!”
“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.”
“Lauryn is an amazing host. She is caring and will send you lots of pictures when your dog boards with her. She is also very patient and prioritizes our dog's health. We have had to cancel several bookings with her due to unforeseen circumstances, but she is always kind and willing to work with us. I am going to make another booking after leaving this review.”
“Courtney was wonderful. She provided pics and updates. My pup was having an awesome time. Responded very quickly when I had questions. I would definitely recommend her and will most definitely use her again!!”
“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful. She was able to work with me with fluctuating dates and pick up issues by my daughter. I am out of the country and Internet is spotty. I sent the review last week but it did not transmit. Caitlin's family helped my pups feel safe and loved. Thanks again.”
“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.”
“Jayme and her family took amazing care of Pig. I received multiple picture and video updates throughout the day and I went from feeling guilty for leaving him to happy he got a nice little vacation. Pig came back happy and tired from all the fun. Will definitely use again.”
“Thankful once again that I found Callie for my pups! She took excellent care of them and have so many updates which made me feel so much better while traveling out of town. She’s simply the best!!”
“I cannot say enough about Victoria and Danny. My puppy has never been around big dogs or young energetic dogs. He has only been around my husband and I as well as my husband’s parents, who usually keep him when we’re away. They have a dog, but their dog is 8 years old and very calm and quiet. When I realized our family would all be out of town on the same weekend, I was very worried about putting our pup in a large boarding facility for fear it would overwhelm and frighten him. My fears were confirmed when I took him walking one day and we came upon a larger energetic dog. My poor pup was afraid of the friendly dog who just wanted to meet him. I knew it was time to socialize him more, but wanted to do it in a smaller setting with fewer dogs and someone who could give him a bit more attention. I was so blessed to find Victoria. I explained everything to her and she was so kind and on board to help in any way. We met a few days before his boarding day and although he was very timid and only wanted to stay by my side, she was so patient with him and gave him time to grow comfortable with her and his new surroundings. She even interdict”
“This was my first time leaving Enzo with a sitter and I could not have asked for a better experience! Ann was so great and very responsive. We will definitely be booking again soon!”
“Michael was a great Rover!! Great communicator- sent many updates and photos! Was very understanding of our dogs’ needs! Would definitely recommend to anyone we know!”
“Ruben was perfect for our fur baby. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and sent loads of pics of Jack having a good time. He went above and beyond with her and his extra attention was greatly appreciated. Will definitely contact Ruben again next time we travel.”

She was very sweet and wants to get to know your fur babies. Sends cute pic updates and lets us know if anything is out of the norm. Would def recommend and would rebook. Thank you for taking such good care of my babies. They had a great mini vacay and slept all day when they came back home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Fernland 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 Fernland.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Fernland 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.
