“Meaghan and Johnny took great care of our english bulldog and he looked so happy in the pictures they sent. They were also flexible with us on our drop off/pick up times due to us traveling.”

“We could not have wished for or dreamt of a better experience than with Donna and Will. They are dog lovers to the core and Murphy had a fantastic time. We'll be using them again soon for sure.”

“This was Oscar’s first overnight without us. He was with Kristin and her family for 2 nights. He was a bit anxious, but got better the 2nd night. Kristin took good care of him and tried to keep things as close as possible to his normal routine. We definitely recommend Kristin and will be using her again.”

“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”
“Steven and his family were the best! We had never left our pups at anyone else’s house before and they had the best time. He took several pictures every day so we could see our babies. Our one Aussie is very shy and he warmed right up. I feel like they had a vacation right along with us. They were definitely spoiled. 😂 I will be using Steven again no doubt.”

“I had a great experience using Shume to watch my dog, Donny. I reached out to her because my husband and I were going on a last minute trip. She was super quick to respond and very accommodating. Donny had a great stay! Shume texted updates and pictures to me, which I really appreciated. She was very friendly and professional. I would definitely use her again.”

“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!”


“We were so lucky to have found Melanie and Stella. Our Zoey is nearly 17 and has some health issues. Melanie provided excellent care and sent daily updates while we were on travel. Zoey and Stella got along well. We will definitely try to book again with Melanie in the future.”

“We love Colleen! You can tell she and her family genuinely love animals and see pets as part of family. She sends daily updates and photos without even asking which is such a comfort when you are away and miss your fur babies. I can see from the photos that my dog has great fun staying with them, she is allowed to snuggle with them on the couch when they watch TV which is something we do at home as well, I believe that is also a comfort to the dog. Their family dog Jax is such a sweet dog, he gets along with my dog perfectly! My dog always come home happy:) I highly recommend trusting Colleen with your pets!”

“My Achilles has become a repeat client. We love the care and attention Dalis shows him while in her care. The picture updates of him playing and having fun gives me such relief to know he is in great hands.”

“Alex and her family gave Dewey lots of love and took great care of him! She is very knowledgeable of animals and loves each and every one. This was Dewey’s first time being left and he just had the best time! I highly recommend her! We will definitely use her again.”

“This was my first time using Rover . Kira really set the bar high . She was very responsive , sent pictures & videos and messaged how Sady did each night . She even went by She was very friendly and welcoming !! I highly recommend anyone to send there pet to her !”

“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”

“Juyne provided excellent care for Kace. Her communication was prompt and effective, giving me confidence in Kace’s well-being. Daily updates and photos during Kace’s stay further reassured me. I highly recommend their services.”

“Barbara and Keith took excellent care of our dog, Joey! They shared many sweet photos over the weekend and made sure it was a safe and comfortable space for her. Joey really enjoyed playing with Indy, and needed a nap day to recover from all of the fun when we brought her home. We would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”

“Alexandra was AMAZING. My lab felt right at home and had the best time. We got lots of cute pictures during his 4 day stay and she was very responsive during booking and sitting. She asked questions up front to make sure the sitting would be a good fit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hartselle on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Hartselle sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Hartselle landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hartselle 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 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 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.
