“We had two dogs stay with Corey for 2 nights. He was very knowledgeable, kind to our dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving them with him. He sent pictures of them playing fetch and they returned to us worn out and happy! Both our dogs are normally indoor, but they did well with the yard/garage area. We are glad to have met Corey so next time we leave town, we won't have to worry about our pups. Highly recommend and will certainly book again.”
“Jennifer is the best!!! Henry (an only dog) was so happy there, and so enjoyed his vacation and playing with Jennifer and her dogs, he acted like he wanted to stay 😁. We’re so grateful for her giving Henry a home away from home - and she takes amazing photos and kept us updated on the good times he was having. His next stay with her is already booked!”
“Wow! Kristin did an amazing job watching our high energy dogs! It's hard to find a person with such great expertise, love and care especially with our young puppy. Both of our dogs really enjoyed their stay and she is totally trustworthy and reliable. She really goes the extra mile in caring for dogs. I hope to book again with her in the future!”
“The best dog care you could ever have. Very friendly, right on time. Everything is comfortable, the service, you can trust her with your dog, worries free. She really makes time to play with your dog and give so much care. She deserve more than the pay she ask for, you will never regret boarding the dog to her, they got back yard and your dog will have so much fun.”
“Michael was incredibly accommodating and helpful to our family with a last minute request to board. He was welcoming to our dog (as were his own sweet pooches) and his house has a terrific set up for pets. Highly recommend and thank you!!!”
“Lindsey is awesome! She loved my baby like her own. My little girl was a tad nervous but Lindsey texted me not long after I left to tell me she was fine and playing with her two dogs. That meant a lot to me. I knew she was going to be fine!”
“Ileana is great. Kona loves going on adventures with her and getting to live her best dog life. We enjoy all the pictures and videos of proof of life and getting to see what Kona's day consists of. Kona enjoys rolling around with Christine and stealing Lola's nap spots. I have no worries when Kona is there and she is always excited to see Ileana. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby! We'll see you soon.”
“Christina and Gabriel provided lots of attention and love to buttercup and when she came back, she was much better behaved and much calmer! Thank you both so much for opening your home and your heart to our pet! We are forever indebted to you, Debbie”
“Kate was the best choice I could have made to board my dogs with. She communicated clearly from the start and throughout the entire time of the boarding. I recieved pictures and updates multiple times a day. There was no stone left unturned or request not responded to. At no time did I think my dogs were not well taken care of. I suggest you choose Kate if you are looking for a private boarder.”
About: I have taken care of animals from a young age. I currently have the sweetest female lab. We would love for your fur baby to come have a sleepover! I work from home from 830-5. They may play and roam the house with outside play time on breaks as they need. I can accommodate any schedule needed. I have a fenced in yard and Dova will be your babys new best friend. They may play as they wish safely with no concerns.
“Olivia was incredibly accommodating. I reached out and booked at the last minute to help a fellow grandmother with boarding her two fur babies, and she made the entire process easy and stress-free. Because I was rushing and didn’t know much about the pups, I didn’t realize (or think to ask) that one of them might be in heat. Olivia typically doesn’t accept pups in heat, but given the emergency situation, she graciously worked with us anyway. She even provided pick-up and drop-off, which was a huge help. When she brought them back, it was clear the pups really liked her, and that told me everything. They were well cared for and comfortable with her. I absolutely recommend Olivia for your fur baby boarding needs!”
“Sue, Gary, and Newman were wonderful hosts for our chocolate lab, River. Newman and River were fast friends! We received many updates and photos and couldn’t have been more pleased with the care he received. Their home is set up perfectly for labs! Big backyard, a sandy area for digging. River was quite pleased! I think he was sad to leave them! We will definitely book with them again if we are in the area.”
“Graham is wonderful and Phoenix seems to have enjoyed himself immensely...in spite of the unexpected snow. Ha ha!! I really appreciate the pics Graham sent, his communication and flexibility. I will definitely book again!”
“Couldn't have been anymore comfortable with leaving my dog with someone. James and Myrna exceeded expectations with their care. They kept my labrador (Floki) for about a week and they texted us daily photos of him. They have an amazing yard which is kept up very nice as well as a doggy door that goes into their home. Their dog (Maggie Mae) is a well obedient dog too, which I'm sure our dog loved to play with every day. We will definitely use them again in the future the next time we need a sitter.”
“Callie is AMAZING!! Will definitely be booking again in the future! Milli loved her and had so much fun around other doggies. I was very comfortable leaving Milli there and had so many updates and pictures that I knew Milli was safe and having a great time. She's so professional and sweet I know Milli would love to see her again!”
“Ms. Brenda is so patient and has such a great spirit. She did an awesome job with my puppy Ceazer. It was his first stay with her. She updated us with photos and of his well being. When we picked him up, he was happy and energetic as ever! Thanks again💜”
“We used Jana while we were in town for a wedding. She was great with our pup and did an awesome job of updating us on how he was doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again next time we visit!”
“She was accommodating and very flexible with our schedule change. Shadow felt right at home and this was her first visit here. We will definitely use her again and not worry about our four legged little girl”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Houstonville
As always, Belle had so much fun with Katie! She truly is an animal lover and it is evident by the way Belle acts when I drop her off, and I truly think Belle had rather stay with Katie because she has so much fun! Katie is our first choice ANY time we need a sitter for Belle - I recommend 1000%!
Kate was the best choice I could have made to board my dogs with. She communicated clearly from the start and throughout the entire time of the boarding. I recieved pictures and updates multiple times a day. There was no stone left unturned or request not responded to. At no time did I think my dogs were not well taken care of. I suggest you choose Kate if you are looking for a private boarder.

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 Houstonville 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 Houstonville.
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 Houstonville 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.
