“I have booked with Brittany a few times now and every time is amazing. I trust her completely with my dog, Penny. I get updated pictures every day and communication is phenomenal. It makes leaving much easier knowing Penny is getting well taken care of and having a good time. The only worry I have is that she won’t want to come back with me when I come to pick her up.”
“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“Doug has become one of pur dog's favorite people!! She is always pleased to spend time in his home when we are away. Doug also is very conscientious about her feedings which are a bit complicated. So glad to have found him!?”

She was so kind and caring with my dog, and I loved receiving daily photo updates—it was reassuring to see how happy and well cared for he was. She also responded to messages very quickly, making communication easy throughout the entire stay. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter!”

One of the best in care and price! 🐕”

Highly recommend Brittney for boarding. She has the ideal set up for boarding dogs with fenced in areas and a large living area for dogs in her home. She sent us pictures of our dog enjoying the other dogs while we were gone and it made us feel good knowing she was having a good time.
Kristen was an absolute joy to work with and Lulu seems to have had a ball. Communication was quick, easy and always to the point. Pictures were sent showing a very, very happy dog and so I am a very, very happy mama. I will definitely be calling on her again and am pleased to recommend her.
Jonathan was fantastic! He accepted my booking request on short notice, which was a huge help. He kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay with pictures, giving me peace of mind while I was away. He was also very flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, making everything easy and stress-free. Jonathan and his family were kind and welcoming, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and loved!
Madelynn was so great! I ended up needing a pet sitter very last minute and she not only replied to my initial message immediately, but she agreed to let me drop my fur baby off within about an hour! Not only was she super accommodating with such a last minute situation but she was just so nice and sweet. She sent me pics and updates and my dog just loved her. I could just tell from the little videos of they snuggling and playing :) She was just so great and I’m so glad we found her through Rover. Thank you Madelynn! 💕
My experience with Deb, who provided extraordinary care for my beloved dog Snickers during our Panama City Beach vacation, was nothing short of exemplary. She meticulously kept us informed of his behavior, sending numerous delightful pictures that clearly showcased his happiness and safety under her watchful eye. Deb's pleasant demeanor and profound knowledge of animals, coupled with her impeccably prepared home environment, instilled complete confidence. I will unequivocally be entrusting Snickers to her exceptional care again, and wholeheartedly recommend her services.
Kendall was so attentive to Rosie! Rosie is a rescue who is afraid of the world around her, but Kendall took great care of her and never gave up when Rosie was unsure of her new surroundings, making her as comfortable as possible. I’m so appreciative of how sweet she was with Rosie and how she navigated her challenges, including trying to make sure our non-food-motivated dog ate regularly while we were gone. I would definitely book with Kendall again!
Abigail is amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him as if he were her pet. She was very responsive and communicative, sharing photos and updates while I was away. She is so kind, and it’s no wonder my dog was sad to leave when I picked him up! I can’t say enough good things about Abigail, and how comfortable I felt knowing my pet was in great hands.
I am very happy that I chose Noelle to take care of my boy Jared. Very nice and friendly person. I am sure Jared felt at home and at ease in their house. Clean environment and safe and quite neighborhood. Will definitely ise Noelle’s service the next time we need it. Highly recommended.
They are truly wonderful!!! They were so kind even when my dogs were not the best behaved. They sent updates and always checked in with me if they thought either of my pups needed anything! They were so flexible with me throughout my scheduling changes as well. They were so kind, had such a nice place/ nice back yard for the dogs to run around as much as they needed! Completely recommend to anyone looking for amazing sitters 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Hoover on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 371 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Hoover. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of Hoover 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 Hoover 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 Hoover 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 Hoover.
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 Hoover 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.
