“My dog enjoyed her time playing with their dogs, and they even got her some Christmas present chew toys to play with. They kept me updated during my 7 day Christmas vacation and had no issues whatsoever. Will be happy to use their dog boarding services again!”
“Ms. Kristi did an amazing job taking care of my Oscar. She communicated so well, sent frequent pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I loved seeing how comfortable Oscar was with her, especially when he snuggled under the blanket for a nap with her. She even took him on a car ride and treated him like family. I will never use anyone else for Oscar’s future pet vacations. Highly recommend Ms. Kristi!”
“We had a great experience having Karmen watch our puppy Scout! She fit us in very last minute and sent us updates about her pup Scout constantly. Our pup didn’t want to leave when we came to pick her up”
“Matt was wonderful! He took great care of our sweet pup for a week & sent great updates of him. It made going on vacation so much less stressful knowing our dog was being well taken care of and was having such a fun time! Thank you so much Matt!”
“Kenzie is AWESOME!! She made time to come to our house to meet our big boy, prior to his 1st boarding experience with her. We felt 100% comfortable leaving Tank in her care. She is very accommodating, as we had to unexpectedly, extend his stay an extra day. I look forward to booking Kenzie in the future!”
“Jeremy and his sweet wife were so good to my little one while I was away. She had a nice little vacation of her own. It was comforting to know she was in good hands and well cared for. Communication was excellent.”
“Jennifer is absolutely amazing!! She is so accommodating and sends lots of pictures and updates during the stay! We have been using Jennifer for several months now and my dog feels so comfortable! I 100% recommend her!”
“One of my dogs looked confused when it was time to go home, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay with Suzanne and her family. She was warm and inviting, and communicated the entire stay. I’m hoping her schedule allows for them to stay with her for future travels.”
“Scooby absolutely loved staying with Erica. She sent pictures of him every day of him going on walks, sleeping, and playing with some other dogs! She took care of Scooby and I highly recommend her!”
“Juliana was super personable w/ Bayer and myself, shared plenty of update pics, listened to my dog's needs, and made my time away from my dog worry-free! I would highly recommend using Julianna for your dog sitting needs!”
About: My parents had dogs before I was born so I have never lived without dogs. I share my house now with my two dogs, and I am very lucky to work from home where I can be with them all day. In addition, I spent many years volunteering with a local shelter where I was a dog walker, an adoption counselor, a foster dog mom, and assisted with training classes. If you have a dog care need outside of what I have set as what I will accept, contact me because I may be able to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. My schedule revolves around my dogs. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an enclosed porch, but they do spend most of their time indoors with me. When I am home, they go out every 3-4 hours, and if I am away, which is not often, I do not leave them for more than 8 hours. I am not scheduling for more than 3 months out, but if you have a specific date request beyond that, contact me and I can look at options. When I host your dog at my home, he or she will be treated like part of the family. I feed my dogs twice a day, and they go out every 3-4 hours when I am not home, or more often if needed. On sunny days, my dogs also enjoy laying on my enclosed porch where I have a few dog beds set up for them. The feeding and potty schedule for your dog is up to you, so please communicate that with me if it would be different from my own dogs. On the rare occasions where I need to leave for doctor appointments or family events, I would crate your dog, or alternately, secure your dog in a small room using a baby gate if you dog cannot tolerate crating. I have two bad shoulders, and therefore I do not walk dogs, but your dog would get plenty of play time with my dogs in my house and in my yard. While I try to not have dogs on the furniture, it doesn't always work out that way, but I do have multiple dog beds in every room of my home. I also have designated areas of the couch where my dogs are allowed. I would require you to bring a leash and your dog's food when you drop him or her off. In terms of in-home visits to care for your dog, I will be sure to let them out, feed them, make sure they have water, administer medications as required, and spend about 15 minutes with them in snuggles or playtime. As mentioned above, I have two bad shoulders so I am not able to walk your dog.
“Cassandra was amazing with my dog. She provided constant updates and communication, and she also sent me a picture everyday which I loved. Love the fact that she has a fenced in backyard so he could run around and still give me a piece of mind. All in all, 5-star option here with Cassandra, and I’d trust her with any pet! We’ll definitely be back soon :)”
“I left my dog bowls at home and she had some which was a life saver. She listened to all of my instructions and she responded very fast and sent pictures of Marley to me. I think I was more nervous than my Marley. Highly recommend and will use her in the future ?”
“Spirit loves staying with Cheryl she and Cheryl‘s dog. Gucci are great friends. We highly recommend them for anyone in the area or traveling through the area that needs a place to board their dog.”
“Crissy, is absolutely AMAZING!! She had our gsp Lucy for 3 nights and sent many pics along the way. Lucy was happy, and delighted to spend time with miss crissy and play with puppies. If you’re in the Starkville area I highly recommend her services. Thank you crissy!”
“Cherie is fantastic! I kept having to extend my time needed for a pet sitter as I’m moving and she had no problem still seeing my kitties. Cherie spent time with my cats and went above and beyond to refill their water towers and clean their litter boxes. She ensured my home was safe and secure and I can tell my kitties loved her. Thank you so much Cherie!”

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 Fruithurst 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 Fruithurst.
<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 Fruithurst 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.
