“This was our first time using Rover since moving to AL and we are delighted to have found Donna! She put us at ease by keeping us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear she treated our dog like a member of her family. We couldn’t be happier with the care Poppy received while staying with Donna.”

“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.”

“Dalis boarded our two girls for 5 days and they had a blast. Her home and yard layout were ideal for lots of pup playtime, and they went to bed each night happily exhausted from all the play. Her care and love for pets is apparent and she provided outstanding boarding while we were away. We’ve now found our favorite local boarder! Highly recommended.”

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.

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.

It was clear my pup was loved, well cared for, and happy the entire stay. Communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter. Thank you so much, Hanna”

“Haley was so helpful in agreeing to care for Josie after another sitter canceled last minute. It was a long stay and our Josie can be anxious but she seemed very happy at Haley’s house and came home a happy dog. Haley went the extra mile in caring for Josie and has a very kind and positive personality. I will definitively look forward to using her again.”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter with 7+ years of experience, I go beyond basic care to provide pets with love, attention, and an stress-free environment while their owners are away. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, small pets, and even exotic or farm animals. Whether it’s administering medication, handling special dietary needs, or providing structured exercise and enrichment, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I specialize in working with shy, anxious, reactive, or senior pets, using patience and positive reinforcement to help them feel comfortable and secure. With an extensive background in the Veterinary field, I ensure pets stay safe and happy under my care. My goal is to not only meet but exceed your expectations—providing updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Let me treat your pet like family! With an open and flexible schedule, I can provide pet care that fits seamlessly into your routine. Since I am not currently employed elsewhere, I am available for last-minute bookings, extended stays, and midday visits—ensuring your pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s an early morning walk, a late-night check-in, or specialized care throughout the day, I can accommodate your pet’s specific schedule without restrictions. My priority is making sure your pet stays happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while giving you peace of mind. I am currently enrolled in school to continue pursuing my Doctorate in Psychology. I understand that a pet’s home is their safe space, and I take great care in ensuring they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. In your home, I maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions—so they experience minimal disruption. I treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, tidy, and just as you left it. My goal is to provide not just pet care, but complete peace of mind, knowing that your furry family member is happy and well-cared for in the comfort of their own home.

About: I take pride in sticking to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether that means a specific feeding schedule, medications, supplements, slow feeders, crate time, potty breaks, special diets, favorite walking routes, or any other little details, I’m happy to follow your instructions exactly. I know those routines matter and help your pet feel safe and stress free while you’re away. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats, from playful puppies and kittens to seniors, anxious pets, high energy dogs, and multi pet households.

Im currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animals and make them feel happy! I can absolutely adjust to any specific schedule you and your dogs/cats have during the daytime and bedtime! I can easily crate animals, or create a dog/cat safe enviroment for your fur baby. I am more than willing to adjust to each of your pets enviromental needs.

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 Hillsboro 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 Hillsboro.

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 Hillsboro 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.
