“My dogs most likely will sleep for the next week, they had so much fun!!!! Holly was very sweet and caring. She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent the sweetest picture! 100/10 recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our black lab, Stone. He is our baby and we feared we wouldn’t find anyone who would spoil him like we do. But Sean and Dianna exceeded our expectations! We were updated multiple times daily, which set our nerves at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We would highly recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Our Tali was taken amazing care of while we were on vacation! We were nervous about leaving her, as she is still a puppy - but we had nothing at all to worry about while we were gone! We received updates, videos, and pictures throughout our trip so we rested easy knowing Tali was being loved, cared for, and taken care of. She was kept on her schedule and given so much love and care. Honestly just above and beyond. We will definitely be booking again!”
“We relied on Rachel to take care of our fur babies during a recent trip. She came twice a day to feed and care for our kitty and took our dog into her home. She can ahead of time to introduce our dog to her dogs, and sent us pictures of our cat and dog the whole time we were away. Our dog had a hard time with boarding so it was nice for him to return rested and calm. We will use Rachel again. Thanks Rachel!!”
“Allison was great with Ruby. She sent frequent picture updates during the stay, which really helped give me peace of mind, and her communication was extremely fast and responsive throughout the entire process. Ruby seemed very well cared for and happy. I would definitely recommend Allison to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.”
“I can't say enough great things about Monica. She kept our dog, Cooper, for 5 nights and went over and above for us while we were gone. I had my return date wrong, and didn't realize until the day before our flight home, but she took it in stride and accommodated my mistake. Not sure what I would have done otherwise. She was great with Cooper, and was able to earn his trust quickly. He's a rescue, and a little slow to warm to new situations, but he was comfortable with Monica and her two pups. Thank you, Monica, we'll be booking again soon!”
“Melissa was fantastic with Chardonnay!! Char is a little timid and is very prone to anxiety! Melissa, Timber and Bella made her feel comfortable and completely at ease. The picture updates were amazing and set us at ease. If you want someone to love on your fur baby, Melissa is the girl for you. Will definitely be using her again, we even forgot to grab our water bowl & has been amazing at trying to get it back to us, even if we keep forgetting ??♀️?”
“Sarah was amazing! We received multiple pictures and updates daily. Her doggies are really sweet and got along well with ours. We look forward to booking with Sarah again soon!”
“Ronda and her family made sure my baby was right at home. I was struggling trying to find somewhere to keep my big baby that wouldn’t keep him in a crate all day until someone could come get him out to play with him! Ronda made sure I was comfortable as well as Griffey with his stay with her. I can’t wait to use her again for my baby cause I know he enjoyed himself there with her!! Thank you so much for making sure my baby was safe and comfortable during his stay with you!”
“Peyton provided our dog with all she needed- a playmate, nourishment, exercise and most importantly security. Coby looks forward to spending time with Peyton and Oakley again soon.”
“Emely watched Bailee while we were vacationing. She sent pictures and gave us updates on Bailee. Emely is an awesome sitter and we would definitely book her again for future boarding services.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Guntersville is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $51 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 114 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Guntersville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Guntersville 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 Guntersville 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 Guntersville.
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 Guntersville 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.
