“1st off Lexi is a rescue and very scared of new places because she is afraid of being left or alone. She has extreme anxiety even has medication if needed. But they made her feel right at home and gave her lots of love. I have never left her with anyone sense we got her 11 months ago and I was a nervous wreck up until the day I met Lauren and her girls. I was so happy that Lexi was ok. But she sent me pictures daily and gave me updates and didn’t even need her medicine. Which says a lot for Lauren and her family. I highly recommend her as a sitter to any animal and if needed ppl are more than welcomed to call me and I’ll give you pages and pages of details. I will definitely be using her again and I want to say Thankyou so much !!!!”
“We loved Brandi and her family!! Rye was very well taken care of and I’m so happy Brandi and her family watched her for us on our wedding weekend. Rye had so much fun she didn’t want to leave!”
“We were absolutely thrilled with the care our Frenchie received! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable knowing Bentley was in such loving and capable hands. She was attentive, caring, communicative, and treated our Frenchie like she was her own. We truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. It was clear that our Frenchie was happy, comfortable, and well-loved throughout her stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for their fur babies. We will definitely be use her again! Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our girl! 🐾♥️”
“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”
“Tish was amazing with Bruno. Definitely felt like he was on vacation as we were:) he loved playing with their dogs in their backyard! Tish was super kind taking him for walks and hikes. She clearly loves dogs and all animals and we felt super confident leaving him with her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Carrie’s as good as it gets! It was the first time we left our little guy without us—5 nights—and I was a worried mama. Carrie couldn’t have done more for him—or me! She took such good care of him. And she made sure I knew exactly how he was doing throughout every day we were gone. Plus, he wasn’t always an angel, and she took it all in stride. Very cool woman and dog sitter. 10/10”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! Whatever word is better than amazing, that’s what she is! She and her family made my furbaby feel so much at home and loved on her just as I do!! I got updates with photos and videos which is so very thoughtful. Stephanie went above and beyond keeping my Mercy longer when our flights home were canceled. Stephanie will forever be someone that I recommend to family and friends!”
“Jaxen was amazing! First time leaving my pup with someone other than my friends/ family and I was completely at ease. She sent daily updates and my pup was so happy when I picked her up. Will definitely be booking with her again for my next trip!”
“Will & Jillian were great with Rosie and were great about sending pictures and communicating with us while we were away! We will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Stephanie was amazing and I can tell my girly had a wonderful time with her! She came home happy and exhausted in the best way! I will definitely be booking with Stephanie again.”
“Excellent communication, comfortable, clean, and safe space! Destiny is exactly who we were looking for for our high-energy terrier. She was already familiar with the training tools and techniques we got from his trainers, and understood his breed characteristics & needs. She introduced him to her own pets intentionally, and by the time we picked him up, he was clearly comfortable and happy with her. So pleased to have someone knowledgeable who I can trust with our VERY terrier terrier.”
“Nancy & Stan are amazing hosts! There was daily communication and pictures. Their family loved on our fur babies like their own. First time with them, as well as Rover. We would definitely use them again. They went above and beyond. The kids are used to “flavoring” with their meals from us. They did not have to, but they gave them “extras” with their meals. Very clean, smoke free home. Our babies were well cared for and loved. It was wonderful to go on vacation and not have to worry about them. Nancy even washed his belly bands, very thoughtful. When we got home from picking them up, they are happy and well adjusted. No issues at all. Highly recommended.”
“I hesitate to leave a review, honestly, because I don’t want more people taking up all of Amber’s availability! She really helped me out of a jam—two jams, actually—when she accepted my last-minute booking (like, basically 24 hours notice) when my other sitter canceled for an emergency, AND she VERY generously agreed to watch my dog for an extra night when I was stuck overnight at a the airport. Amber shared daily photos and videos and other updates. She’s both proactive and quickly responsive. Will happily trust her to watch my pup anytime. But for my sake, please just…find someone else 🙏🏻”
“Thank you for watching Holli for me! Not sure she wanted to come home. She was happy and calm when she came home. I would recommend you to all my friends! Thank you for caring for my little Holli!”
“My golden retriever had the BEST time staying with Kayley! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. She is super friendly and her dogs welcomed mine in during her stay. Exceeded my expectations ☺️”
“Candace is so sweet. She took care of Jersey like he was her own. He was so loved he almost didn’t want to leave lol. She sent updates and communicated daily. My son felt his best friend, Jersey, was treated like family. I would recommend her to anyone!!! Can’t wait to use her again. Amazing!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Higdon 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 Higdon.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Higdon 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.
