“Lauryn was wonderful from beginning to the end. She kept us updated through the day with pictures and check ins. I appreciate the peace of mind that she was able to provide and the icing on the cake was sending our Rocky home with a personalized gift. Collins and thoughtful! Will definitely book her again.”
“Ann took such great care of Felix and Faye! She made sure to send me updates and pictures throughout the day during their entire stay. You could tell they were having the best time. I would definitely contact her again in the future”
“Koryn was wonderful and attentive while looking after my dog, Sarge; she kept me updated with photos and videos during his meals and walks, and I am truly happy and grateful for that. I hope to book with her again someday! Thanks, Koryn :)”
“Callie was so thorough and communicative the entire time! You can easily see how much she loves the dogs in her care and it makes all the difference. I highly recommend using her!”
“James and Myrna were absolutely wonderful to our Buki. She felt right at home and was so happy there. We will definetly use them everytime we go out of town.”
“Boarding our 7 month old springer spaniel with Kimberly provided such a peace of mind! She was very responsive and easy to work with from the start. She sent regular updates while we were traveling, which we greatly appreciated, too! Georgie seemed to be quite at home and loved having two friends to play with. At the end of our trip we picked up a happy and tired boy from a fun-filled 6 days. Would absolutely recommend and book with Kimberly again!”
“Truly trusted sitter! My dog had a great time and warmed up very easily with Victoria. Everyone wants their dog or cat taken care of and Victoria does just that. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates whenever possible and I just knew she was loving him like her own. She will be my go-to whenever I’m in the area and I’m glad to have booked with her.”
“Wynema was great! She was willing to take care of our fur baby even though it was short notice and a holiday weekend. She is super friendly and communication was great. She sent us pics daily. Helped us enjoy our weekend away knowing that our boy was being loved on.”

Fully privacy fenced large backyard, as well as ring cameras to keep an eye on fur babies when I’m not outside with them. I have a dog door to access the backyard for those that are comfortable with fur babies coming and going as they please.
“Ms. Robin is a beautiful soul. We became friends instantly at our meet'n greet with our Sammy boy. She took care of him like he was her own. She treated my husband, my kids and myself like family. She sent me pictures of Samson everyday and kept us updated on how he was doing. We are truly blessed to have found Ms. Robin. Now our Samson has two mommies. We didn't just find a great Rover sitter in Ms. Robin we found a new member of our family.”

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.
97% of sitters in Gulfcrest 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 Gulfcrest 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 Gulfcrest.
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 Gulfcrest. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 Gulfcrest 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.
