“What a life saver. When work told me I needed to be in Denton, Tx I contacted Courtney. She took care of my dogs on short notice and did an incredible job. When I went to pick them up they were just happy dogs. I could tell they were comfortable and not stressed that I had to leave them in her care. Highly recommend her. She kept me updated and was easy to work with. She was willing to work around my schedule which was important”

“This was the first time leaving my little guy Gremlin and she sent me plenty of pics, videos, and updates while I was away! Took really good care of him and was super patient with him and his antics! Would definitely recommend and would use again!!”

“Miguel and his children were amazing with my fur baby. She was walked every day, had plenty of pictures and what was best - he treated her like she was his! Anyone needing someone amazing to watch their fur baby would be blessed to have this man and his family provide that service.”

“Karen did a great job taking care of Lucky and sent us pics every day. She was also very accommodating due to some changes on dates required for care. Thank you Karen!”

“Our dog has the best stay with Kim. I haven’t felt more comfortable leaving my dog with anyone as I did with her. We got lots of fun pictures of max playing and having fun with the other doggies. Kim was also great at keeping us updated on how he slept and was eating.”

“Jose & Sarahi were great caregivers for our fur baby! They sent pictures and kept us updated throughout the visit. It helped us enjoy our vacation knowing Elle was in good hands and taken care of.”

“Emily took great care of my daughter's cat. She was so awesome and took the job last minute. She also sent updates with pictures keeping our mind at ease. Very sweet and I'm thankful for her to take him last minute for 2 weeks. Will definitely request her again if we go out of town for more then a couple days.”

“Brittany and her husband were the absolute best watching Dale! Had absolutely no worries at all during the duration of my trip and will definitely be using them in the future whenever I travel! If you’re looking for a great sitter, look no further!”

About: With over a decade of personal experience from being raised with dogs my whole life from pit bulls, labradors, poodles, chihuahuas, and rottweilers. I bring deep understanding and genuine love to every pet I watch. I know how to read their needs, handle different personalities, and provide a safe, comforting environment. Making me a trusted choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry babies! I’m currently in college so I have a lot of free time because of summer break. When classes are back I’m online so I’m able to have a flexible schedule and work from home! I keep the space safe and clean, follow all care instructions, and make sure pets feel comfortable and loved. My backyard is fully fenced with no other animals, so pets have a secure space to play and relax.
“Cesira took great care of my dogs and sent updates and photos to let me know they were doing well. She made sure they were comfortable and relaxed during their stay and they seemed perfectly content to stay longer when I picked them up. I highly recommend Cesira and I would happily board with her again.”

“My pup Atlas seemed to really love Briana and her other dogs. She updated me with photos and videos throughout the weekend and it gave me peace of mind watching him having a blast! Will be reusing Briana.”

“Brittany and Cavan were awesome! They were able to board both of my dogs last minute when I had to go out of town for a family emergency. My dogs seemed to enjoy playing with their 3 dogs and both came home happy and well taken care of. Thank you!!”
“Elisabeth was fantastic with our dog! She sent us updates and photos and kept our dog comfortable through fourth of July (she hates fireworks). We will definitely be using her for any future trips and would recommend her to anyone looking! She was also able to pick up and drop off our dog and she communicates quickly.”

“This was the first time I’ve left my dog in the care of someone else that was not family. But I was highly grateful and thankful that Allyzandria took care of my fur baby like he was her own. I will definitely bring Rocco back to her when the time comes. Thank you so much for everything.”

“I would recommend Alexis to whoever wants to leave their dog with someone while they are gone because I can say that you don't have to be worried whether your dog is ok or not because your dog will be in good hands with Alexis because when I picked up my dog he was happy and she kept me informed about how he was doing and she is the person that I will continue to leave my dog with whenever I have to leave town!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Gardendale on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 79 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gardendale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gardendale 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 Gardendale.
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.
You and your Gardendale 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 TX 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.
