Dog Boarding in Hanceville, AL

“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”

“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”

About: If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and bring a level of professionalism and medical awareness most sitters simply don’t have, I’m your person. As a registered nurse, I’m trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior, respond calmly in emergencies, and confidently administer medications or follow detailed care plans. I’m also a proud dog mom to two golden retrievers, so I understand firsthand the energy, affection, and attention dogs need to truly thrive—not just get by. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds with different temperaments and needs, and I helped foster six puppies in high school, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. Your dog won’t just be supervised—they’ll be genuinely cared for, understood, and treated like family in a safe, loving environment you can feel completely confident about. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because as a nurse, I only work three days a week, which gives me four full days dedicated to being home and fully present. On my days off, I have complete flexibility for walks, drop-ins, boarding, playtime, and sticking closely to your dog’s normal routine. Even on the days I do work, my schedule is predictable, allowing me to plan dependable care and maintain consistency. Nursing has made me highly organized and intentional with my time, so pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I thoughtfully plan for. Your pet would receive focused, reliable attention from someone whose schedule truly allows for it. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They receive structured playtime, regular potty breaks, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m mindful of maintaining their normal feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any medical needs, and as a nurse, I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Safety is always a priority, and I create a calm, supervised environment where dogs can feel secure and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding guidelines, medications, crate routines, or preferred walking routes. I spend quality time with them beyond the basics—playing, cuddling, and providing companionship—so they don’t just feel “checked on,” but genuinely cared for. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away.

“Cody was awesome! We did a meetup before boarding where we were able to have our dogs meet and chat. Cody was great about sending pictures and updating us on how our pet was doing. Upon pickup, we could really tell how much our dog enjoyed staying with Cody. I highly recommend him and will definitely book him again.”

About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, but currently I have a 7 year old golden retriever I treat like my child! I’ve always trained all of my dogs myself and participated in many safety training classes regarding training. I am currently in graduate school and unemployed, so mostly it’s just me and my golden at home most days, so I have plenty of spare time to help in your pet’s care! I am open to boarding and house sitting, but also happy to do drop-ins or just walks! I have a big fenced in yard and a sweet golden who loves making new friends to keep your pup company! I have plenty of room to crate your dog if needed.

About: I’m 36 years old and have had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve had both small and large breed dogs, puppy to senior. I’m an animal lover. I will take very good care of your fur baby. I clean houses part time but still have plenty of time to care for your pets. I can board, walk, and do drop ins and doggy day care weekdays and weekends. My schedule is flexible. My yard is not fenced in but I can take your pet outside to play on leash or without leash if they don’t run off. I can watch in your home or mine . I have 3 kids who will love your fur baby just as much as you do.

“Our dogs had a great time and were really worn out when they got home. Alex took great care of them and kept us updated. Will definitely use him again.”

“We LOVE Jennifer!! She personally text and sent pics everyday along with keeping us posted in the River app. She kept us updated on every aspect of their day. Both Jennifer and her entire family made us so comfortable leaving our fur babies for a week. Will use her again!”

“Holly watched our little 8 month old schnauzer for 3 days. Our pup hadn't been around any dogs or people and we thought she might be a handful. Holly took great care of her and made her feel like it was her home away from home. We will definitely use Holly again when the need arises and highly recommend her as a dog sitter !”

“Michelle and her family were great. This was my first time using rover and I was a little nervous but she sent updates through out and my pup had the best time. Could not recommend Michelle enough.”

“If you are looking for the best person/place for your fur baby look no further! I don’t think I will ever go to anyone else unless Jessica is unavailable. She was awesome with our 11 month old German Shepherd. He came home so happy and I could tell he had an amazing staycation! She communicated with me throughout the stay. She even sent pics! Amazing amazing amazing!!!!”

“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!”

“David and his wife were kind, thoughtful, and communicative throughout our entire trip. They have a beautiful home (with a big fenced in yard for zoomies) that your pets will love. They also sent lots of pictures and let me know how the doggies were doing every day. I would highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter! 🐶❤️🐶”

“Chase was amazing and sent photos of our Birdie each day. When we returned from our trip, we asked to extend her say for an extra two nights. Chase was able to accommodate our additional stray. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs all my life and experienced with young and senior dogs as well and medication management if needed and spoil them rotten in my care 😬 They will get much love and attention as I am a stay home pet mom myself. I am a stay home wife who does not work and love animals so why not give a family a piece of mind that their pet is being loved on and spoiled while they are enjoying vacation or what ever the circumstances may be. My dogs are allowed on the furniture and on the bed and I am not a big fan of crates but will use if owner requests I live in a ranch home so no steps . It is just me and my husband along with my min pin who loves other dogs and a hermit cat who really stays to herself Our home is very clean and maintained . My dog is spoiled more than I wish to admit but wouldn't have it any other way . Plenty of dog treats and toys at my home Your pet can do as they do in my home as they do in there own home ❤️

“We could tell our dog enjoyed his stay with Eric and Hailey so much! He was so happy when he came back and wanted to play! Smelled awesome, too! Eric and Hailey were so professional and prompt throughout the whole booking process, sent a couple great pictures, and took awesome care of Jackson! We will definitely use them again.”
