“As always I pick up a happy healthy Woody dog! Thanks guys for taking good care of Woody while we're gone. It allows us to enjoy our time off without worry..”

“So happy with the care and love Kelly gave to my girls while I was away on a trip. She was so thorough and asked lots of questions to make sure she had everything she needed for the girls stay with her. She sent me pictures and videos every day. I can tell Willow and Juniper had a very nice time. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my babies!”

“Ms. Aram cared for my dog for 3 nights and 4 days and did a wonderful job, with lots of photos and updates. My dog usually comes home anxious after I’ve been away, but this time she settled right back in, calm and happy, like she’d been at a second home. I’ve finally found the perfect care for my dog. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.
“Hailie was awesome with Whiskey! She was communicative and sent us pics while we were out of town, and worked with us on pickup times. We'll def be coming back to her if we need someone to sit our girl again!”


About: Hi! I am an avid animal lover and pet owner. Mom to 3 dogs ranging in size from Lab/Shepherd mix to dachshund. I have great sized yard with plenty of room for walks and exercise. I have a separate kennel area if your pets need to be separated from mine. My dogs get along well with other dogs, they are both inside and outside and are welcome on furniture, beds, etc. Although born and raised a country girl in AL, I lived in San Diego CA for 15 years where I got lots of experience being a dog sitter. It is something I have always enjoyed. Your dog will have a great time roaming with us! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide consistent care, attention, exercise, and lots of love. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m organized and dependable, and I understand that pet owners need someone they can trust to maintain their pets’ routines while they’re away. Pet care isn’t just a task for me; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I provide loving, attentive care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each pet’s specific feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions if needed, and preferred playtime and cuddle time. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their fur babies are in good hands. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their own family.
“I found Hope last minute for a 2 week trip. She immediately sent me a message asking about my pups and letting me know that she keeps their schedules as much the same as possible. This edged out the other offer I received (the other person just accepted my request but never sent a follow up message). The dogs were at ease with her immediately. She sent me pictures of the dogs every day with updates. I was concerned if my pups would want to come home with me! They had a great time and Hope was aweosme! I will definitely use Hope again!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life ☺️ I have cared for my own as well as others for years. At my home safety is top priority. My baby recently passed. Rhett was my world for 15 years and my home just isn’t the same without him. I would love to watch your fur baby🙂 and give them love and affection in your absence. I work from home and can give your baby 100% attention. We go on many potty breaks and times to snoop in the yard. I would love to host your fur baby. I have a large fenced in yard. My 6 pound baby loved running and playing in the yard. No way to escape. Plenty of squirrels to run after!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and currently have two dogs of my own. I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, administering routine medications, and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I have experience with both easygoing dogs and dogs who are more anxious and need extra patience and reassurance. As a lifelong pet owner and registered nurse, I’m dependable, attentive to details, and comfortable following specific care instructions. I’m new to Rover, so while I may not have reviews here yet, I’m not new to caring for animals. I’m looking forward to getting to know local families, building trust within our community, and becoming someone you can feel completely comfortable calling when your pets need care. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat yours with the same attention, patience, and affection I give my own. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m home much of the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m also able to accommodate different schedules and give your pets plenty of attention rather than squeezing visits into a busy workday. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I can crate dogs if needed and will always prioritize their safety and comfort. I’m also comfortable dropping in for pets in their own home, where I’ll respect your space and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care.

“Connie was the best! Casper enjoyed playing with her fur babies! She even got him off the puppy pads and do his business outside. She is warm and friendly and made me feel that Casper will be cared for!”

“Alex was wonderful! My cat’s stay ended up being shorter than expected, and she was super understanding and accommodating! She was very attentive and caring towards my cat and provided consistent updates every single day. I would book with her again.”

“Oh my goodness Dasha is a life saver. She kept our baby girl while we had to travel and did such a good job at communicating with us. we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that she was in good hands. Pictures came daily which put us at peace and made us smile.”

“Erin kept our dog Goose while we were on vacation and was absolutely amazing! They had great communication and our dog had so much fun while there, in fact I think he was a little sad to leave lol!”


“Chad and Adrienne took wonderful care of Ravioli! We were a little nervous about needing a Rover since Ravioli recently injured his leg and is taking meds, but they monitored him closely and kept us reassured. They sent daily updates with photos, and we picked up a very happy dog! I wholeheartedly recommend them as hosts, and I’d be happy to send our pup there again in the future!”

“Katie is great! She has kept our pup multiple times and is always quickly responsive, sends daily updates and pictures, and gives our dog plenty of one-on-one love and attention while we’re gone!”

“She was amazing in her service as my dog is a medical service dog. I was so happy to see that my girl was left in good hands and treated like a part of their family. Also, the sitter was extremely flexible with my travel, inconveniences and insured that my girl was taking care of the entire time. I can’t recommend her highly enough for her wonderful work and the fact that she is fantastic at sharing the daily activities While your animal is in her care so you can rest assured that they aren’t being just left in a kennel and not loved. I will be using her services moving forward as much as I can for my travel issues as I am very particular for where my dog goes and to be offered the country experience alongside the family love that her home offers is topped to your service for an affordable price.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Hartselle is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $49 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 of October 2026, there are 235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hartselle. 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.
96% of sitters in Hartselle 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 Hartselle 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 Hartselle.
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 Hartselle 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.
