“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Andrea & family were incredible. First time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Certainly I was a bit nervous. I chose Andrea based on her reviews and genuine smile on the profile. She lived up to expectation and the reviews. Daily photo and updates were provided without request. She even bathe my boy, sent him home so fresh and so clean. I am certain I will be booking in the future, Thank you again for your warmth and care for Pooh! :-)”
“Kayla is the best. She showed patience and understanding for my furbaby whom never stayed with anyone before. He received lots of love and got a chance to have a play date.”
“Megan and her family were absolutely phenomenal with Remington. The attention given to our dog was incredible and our feeding and care instructions were followed to a T. We received pictures and updates multiple times daily with any and all information we asked for. I would 100% book again and refer to a friend.”
“10 out of 5 stars! I couldn't have picked a more lovely "vacation" for my pup than Heather's wonderful home. A super large and fenced in yard for zoomies with chickens and pigeons for her to watch, gorgeous home with plenty of space for doggy lounging and the most adorable children to entertain and play with Remi. I know she had the BEST time! I can't recommend Heather and her family as doggy sitters more.”
“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!!!”
About: Taken care of all animals different pieces and sizes! I live to go on runs so if your doggo needs some energy expenditure I can make that happen run usually span from 2 miles up to 13miles! My doggies run every other day and go to the dog park every day in between! Very quiet household! So if you need your doggies tired just let me know! Live in a large apartment so there is plenty of space for them to play but pets are taken out for runs and dog park pretty much every day.
“Loved Kaia and Desean! My little guy had sooo much fun! He was pretty much worthless for 3 days after picking him up because he was so tired! (And he can go for hours, so this made me extra happy lol) Will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them if you have a friendly and hyper dog. :)”
“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!”
“Brian and Sue are like Maggie’s adoptive parents! Maggie’s loves them and was clearly sad to leave after a 4-night stay! Can’t say enough about how happy we are to have them to watch Maggie when we can’t take her with us!”
“Maddie was amazing! I got updates and pictures during my dog’s stay. She was attentive to his needs and worked with him to make sure he was comfortable throughout his stay”
“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”
“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!”
“Johnnica made us feel so comfortable in leaving Bernie with her while on vacation. She set up a meet and greet beforehand to meet Bernie which we liked. You can tell that her family loves animals and provided pictures on a daily basis. We booked with Johnnica for our next trip!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been working as a dog handler for 2 years but I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12 years old. I love my jobs and I love dogs!! I have a full time job but I’m available during the week days after 4pm and all day Saturday and Sundays! There is always time to play with some puppy’s! I have professional experience handling with dogs! I do not have a fence back yard because I always take them for a little walk, so they can smell, fulfill their interest and use the restroom.
“Brittany did an amazing job with my little one. I received photos and updates everyday. You can tell from the photos and upon getting her back that she adjusted well and had a good time. I would highly recommend Brittany for your sitting needs. The best part of it all she is very responsive, worked well with me since I did reach out last minute, and is a sweetheart. It’s always a blessing to find someone that cares for your baby just as much as you do.”
About: With over two years of professional animal care experience, I am available to run and walk with them, as well as play with them of course, or just check in on them throughout the day. I do not work and spend my day walking/exercising and taking care of my baby. This allows me to help fit into whatever their normal routine is easily! I am a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to provide attention, give walks and cuddle with your baby:) I can fit into whatever routine or schedule they need!
“Alex was accommodating and extremely nice. He made us feel safe leaving our pups with him! He took the time to learn about our dog’s insulin injections, and even reached out with concerns. We will definitely use him again in the future.”
“Laura is an absolute sweetie and my lil Tux the Yorkie fell in love with her! She does an amazing job communicating and sending updates (with photos)! I felt completely comfortable leaving Tux in her care. It’s so nice to not have to worry! We have used Rover over 10 times and I feel Laura has done the best!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Girard
We love Jennifer and her entire family. They loved and cuddled Ozzie like he was their own. She sent many messages and photos to let us know how the stay was going. They have a nice, clean home and a fenced backyard. Ozzie has separation anxiety, but it was evident that he was very comfortable with this loving family. They definitely made it feel like we were leaving him with friends, not a sitter. We have already booked another stay, and I’m sure there will be more. We highly recommend her!
Alex and her husband were awesome from when we did a meet and greet, to dropping off and picking up Tobias. My wife and I were really nervous about leaving our 'son' with another family for a few days, but Alex updated us daily which included pictures! Tobias looked extremely comfortable and well taken care of the day we picked him up! My wife and I would not hesitate to rebook with her and we highly recommend having her watch your fur babies!
Could not recommend her enough! Claudia was communicative, updated me on how my pup was doing multiple times throughout the day, sent me many pics/vids showing me he was having a great time. And when I picked him up, he was a tired HAPPY pup. I will certainly be booking again!
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!!!

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 Girard home-away-from-home, 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 Girard.
<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 Girard 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 , 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 .
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.
