“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 !!!!”
“Tish takes fantastic care of Baxter. She is like a second mom to him. She sends us updates which are a real treat when we are away. Baxter loves going to see Tish.”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“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!”
“Amber went out of her way to make Snowflake feel at home. She even went to the store and bought her some chicken to boil because she didn’t want to eat her dog food. She was good to keep in touch and answer my questions soon after I asked them. She is a great sitter for my girl! I hope to book her to keep Snowflake again soon. Thank you, Amber!”
“Nancy and Stan continue to be our go to because they’re responsive, keep us updated, and they’re so accommodating with our one high needs dog. Highly recommend!”
“Kristen is incredible! She was so flexible to our schedule when we needed help. She sent pictures, was genuine and so nice. Her, her husband and her fun dogs made us excited to send roux to them.”
“Jonathan took excellent care of my dog. It was his first time being boarded since I adopted him and he was very nervous. Jonathan waited until he was ready to interact and earned his trust. He bathed him. He sent pictures to let me know he was OK. I will definitely use Jonathan to board Little Man the next time I have to travel.”
“Jenny was great! Rosie had the best time cuddling with her and chasing her chickens! I would highly recommend using Jenny if you are in the area. We will use her again next time we bring Rosie with us for a Clemson trip!”

About: I’m experienced caring for all kinds of dogs, from high-energy breeds like GSPs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation to laid-back pups who are happiest lounging by your side. I’m also comfortable caring for medically complex dogs, including dogs with seizures, injuries, and daily medication needs. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re my own. As a nurse, I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care a great fit for my routine. I’m available on weekends and can often accommodate last-minute pet care needs. I have a fenced-in yard and easy access to trails right behind my house, so pups can enjoy plenty of outdoor time, whether they’re up for a long adventure in the woods or just a quick romp around the yard. I’m happy to work with each dog’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and individual quirks or needs. Whether caring for a pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.
“Beth was fantastic! Great at communicating and very kind and accommodating. Our Maggie was provided with lots of great play space and love and care! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
About: I have been a dog sitter for senior pets, as well as puppies. I'm familiar with training practices for puppies, and an adequate diet based on dog size needed to sustain their well-being. I love being active and can sustain the energy to keep your furry baby moving. I am available in the mornings and early afternoons to check in and care for pets. I can also board for occasional overnight stays, while you are out of town or away on vacation. In the client's home, I maintain boundaries of where the owner wants the pet to roam. I will clean up any messes or dirt the animal gets into, and will assure to care for your pet as I would my own.
About: I currently have a bloodhound and 4 cats, as well as a foster dog. My had my last dog for 15 years, so I am very experienced in senior dog care. Old doggos have a special place in my heart. I am self employed so I have a fairly flexible schedule so I can usually work around anything that might be needed or come up. I have a fenced in yard as well as a doggie door so dogs have constant access to the back yard. I also walk dogs 1-2 times a day.
About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care

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.
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 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.
