“Jennifer and her Family are wonderful. Jennifer agreed to watch Canela in a short notice and she and her family gave her lots of attention. Jennifer kept me updated everyday and send me lots of pictures. I loved knowing how good of a time Canela was having and I felt happy she was in good hands. I am pretty sure that both, Canela and I would be happy if Jennifer and her family can watch her again in the future.”
“Sandra and Mark were absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters. They were incredibly friendly, caring, and clearly love spending time with dogs. My dog had such a great time with them — they played with him a lot and kept him entertained the whole time. Sandra was also amazing about sending regular updates, letting me know how he was doing, what activities he was up to, and how he was feeling. Those updates really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious that they treated my dog like their own and made sure he felt comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the care and attention they gave him. I would absolutely recommend Sandra and Mark to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely kind dog sitters. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Very happy with the care my pups received from Matt. Great communication and attention to my dogs. His dog, Domino had a great personality and I was evident my gogs enjoyed his company. Highly recommended!”
“Donald was great with taking care of of our fur baby. He updated us everyday and sent lots of pictures. We are so happy we made the right decision with selecting Donald to care for our baby!”
“Mrs Catherine is the best person that took care of my golden doodle and this’s priceless to me. I really love that she was sending pictures and videos every single day and updating me on how Karol was doing. Please Do not hesitate to contact her for the care of your pet, as she will provide excellent care.She’ll be my dog sitter on our upcoming vacations.”
“Robin is the best. I knew immediately that she was the right person to leave Cody with. He loves it there. Being a Golden with lots of energy, there is plenty of room for him to run and play with her dogs. Robin sent me pictures every day and would respond to my texts promptly. She even put a Halloween bandana on him. Robin is my go-to person now. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Christina was great! Our dogs seemed calm and content when we brought them home. She sent pictures all weekend of them on walks and her sons loving on our boys, which melted my heart. I like that even though she had a backyard and let them play in it she still took them on walks. I also like that they were allowed on her couch, as our pups are allowed on the couch at our house. She was able to accommodate changing the drop off time as well. Her house was clean and smelled really good when I dropped them off as well. I would definitely trust my pups with her again.”
“Nikki was great! We were in a pinch and needed a dog sitter last minute, and she truly saved us. She responded quickly, was flexible, and made the whole process stress free. Our pups was well cared for, happy, and when we returned. We’re so grateful for her help and will absolutely use her again!”
About: Both my husband and I have grown up with dogs our entire lives. In my case, I was raised in a home with 6 dogs at once, so caring for multiple pets is second nature. We have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities — from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra care. Our responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, daily walks, and of course, lots of playtime and affection. We’re comfortable with high-energy dogs, shy or anxious pups, and everything in between. We currently have two dogs of our own and treat every dog we care for as part of the family. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’ll be home with the pups the majority of the time. This allows for plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and play throughout the day. My daily routine is flexible, and I can easily adapt to your dog’s needs and schedule. My husband also helps out in the evenings after work, so your pup will get even more love and care during that time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. Inside, we have a designated dog room with air conditioning to keep pups cool and comfortable. If needed, we also have an extra room to separate dogs for rest, feeding, or personal space. We’re crate-friendly and can crate your dog upon request or according to their routine. Our home is both dog and toddler safe, with no access to hazardous items or unsafe areas. We treat every dog like part of the family, using gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and plenty of love and attention. We require a meet and greet before bookings to make sure all pups get along and feel comfortable. We want the experience to be a great fit for everyone. We’re also committed to keeping you updated with regular messages and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Alona is absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and detailed. She communicates well with updates and she really put my mind at ease when I needed a dog sitter in a clutch. My 🐕 was so happy when I picked him up that he didn’t want to leave 😃 I will definitely call her to dog sit again. Thanks Alona!!!”
“Debbie was great....she gave us regular updates on Roodles. She took very care of our dog....we were very impressed. She even had a meet and greet in the beginning to meet roodles....we felt very comfortable leaving Roodles with her. Our dog is scared of fireworks and Debbie comforted her and got her through it on NY eve”
“Samantha was amazing and so easy to work with! She responded so quickly to my messages and was always kind! Our Ellie (golden retriever) had the best time playing with Samantha’s golden Blair. We definitely recommend Samantha and look forward to booking with her in the future.”
“Great visit. Pups were happy and in great spirits when we picked them up. Tyila was quick with communication and easy to work with. Her home is perfectly dog friendly and we loved seeing picture updates!”
“As always Bentley always enjoys going to Samantha and her family. So thankful they were able to keep him on short notice. Her children did a wonderful job with him ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“I absolutely recommend Tugba! It was so comforting knowing that Koda was well taken care of while we were away. He had such a wonderful time with both Tugba and Kora. I couldn’t be happier!”
“We were looking for someone to make Spirit feel right at home. We feel like we accomplished that with Laura. She and Spirit hit it off right away. We plan on using her many more times in the future.”
“Mikayla was wonderful. She was very professional. She was always timely in her response and made sure to update with commentary & pictures on how my baby was doing! She was also very flexible and willing to compromise to the best of her ability. I will definitely be a returning customer. If you’re wanting someone who will treat your fur baby like their own, without any worries or concerns, Mikayla is the person you’re looking for. 10/10 would recommend ✨”

I’m so happy with the care my dog received this weekend! It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Awy took wonderful care of him, and I could tell he was treated with so much love and attention. I’m truly grateful and would absolutely trust them with my dog again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy! ❤️
I needed to find someone to host my puppy and had two days to do so. Trisha answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The pictures she sent of my puppy were adorable!!! We will definitely be using her services again!!! She’s the shiiiiii****!!!!

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.
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.
98% of sitters in Fort Mitchell can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Fort Mitchell 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 Fort Mitchell.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Mitchell. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Fort Mitchell 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
