“Doug is a very thoughtful and kind sitter. He took excellent care of my elderly puppy and kept me updated on how she was doing. I am very thankful that he was able to take care of her while we were away!”
“Brittney’s yard is great for the dogs to run and explore. She also provides daily pictures and comments. We had so much peace of mind versus Elle being boarded in a kennel.”
“Our golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.”
“Jessica was great with my pup! Made sure to send lots of pictures and videos and made sure he had plenty of play time to get all of his energy out. Would definitely use her again!”
“Our pup, Willa, had a wonderful stay with Jordyn and her pups. Willa had a great time playing with the dogs and running around the backyard. We really enjoyed the updates and pictures that Jordyn sent. Communication with her was excellent from the first meet and greet to pick up time. Willa clearly loved Jordyn.”
“Wade and Morgan are AMAZING!! This was the longest I have ever left my pup so I was very nervous about being away from him but they made the entire experience effortless. They sent me picture updates every single day if not twice a day! My dog seemed to not want to leave their house and I could tell that he was very happy and very very well taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone who asks and I will definitely be booking with them again in the future! Thank you so so much Wade and Morgan I appreciate you guys more than you know!”
“Carson was absolutely wonderful! This was Nala’s first time to stay away from home without me. Carson went above and beyond for my baby girl and Nala adjusted there beautifully. I will definitely be using her again the next time I need a sitter!”
“Deby watched my pet rabbit for a week and did a great job! She provided regular updates and sent a lot of pictures. I would definitely recommend her if you need help watching any type of pet!”
“Katie and her family took such good care of my dog while I was out of town. She took her on walks, played with her, gave her treats, cuddled her, and sent lots of pictures and updates!! I could not have asked for someone better to take care of Rory girl 🤍”
“Ryan is just the best ever. My dog definitely loved staying with him and he took amazing care of her, I’ve never seen her so happy with someone other than myself. We 100% choose to go with Ryan for boarding every time. THE BEST EVER!!”
“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”
“Hadley had the best time with Ashlyn!! So thankful we could go on our vacation and know our pup was being well taken care of. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Katie is awesome!! Very accommodating and a great communicator. Got a lot of updates! I know charlie loved his cuddles and walking. Lola (her pup) is also so sweet and welcoming to Charlie!”
“Tatiana was a great host for Wallace! She was so kind and came to the rescue in short notice. Would highly recommend her to anyone with a dog who loves kids and would definitely repeat.”
“Kimberley was awesome! She was very accommodating and understanding of our older dog’s transition to a new area and home. Maddie loved her spacious backyard and her new friends, Sampson and Stokely. Maddie can’t wait for us to need Kimberley’s services again!”
“Barrie took great care of Gracie while my wife and I were away on vacation. I appreciated that she updated us regularly with pictures/videos. She also asked questions and really tried to make sure Gracie was as comfortable and happy as possible.”
“Kaitlyn is one of the best sitters on Rover! She is so kind and accommodating. She let me know what was going on with my dog, and I had no concerns about Chloe’s safety. She even sent us home with a little gift. I highly recommend using Kaitlyn for all pet sitting needs 🖤”
“Corlaeja really came through for me and Billy. It was a very last minute booking, and she was not only able to do it, she did it exceptionally well. My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”
“Melody and Nala really love to stay at Kristen’s house. Kristen and her family are really prepare to take care of our dogs and are so nice and loving with Melody and Nala. We are lucky to have found Kristen 🙌🏻”

Lawden was such a great sitter for our Odin! She helped us with pickup and drop off on time and was super communicative throughout the 12 days he stayed with her. She sent lots of pictures which showed Odin having so much fun playing with her dog and others. We never had to worry during Odins stay and we can’t wait to use Lawden again if we ever need to!
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.
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 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 346 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.
