About: I've been around and taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. Our family has always been the proud owners of at least one dog. I have fed, bathed, walked, played, cleaned upp after each one. I am currently looking to care for dogs on weekday evenings and all day and overnight on the weekends. I work during the day untill 5pm on weekdays. I have a fenced in backyard and a spacious living room. Dogs are welcome on furniture. On weekends I like to take the dogs to the park.
“Peyton was absolutely amazing! Gave check ins and was super responsive to all of my messages. I highly recommend her for anyone needing to board and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Amber was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. She took special care of our senior dog, administering medicine and being understanding when he decided to urine mark. She was good with communication. Both dogs seemed happy. We would use her services again.”
“Laura has been amazing for our Leo! He had a scary incident the day of boarding and she was still up for having him. He loved it there and could be his own self, relaxed and playful. She takes amazing care of all the dogs she has and respects if some dogs need a little calmer start or whatever they needs might be that day! 10/10”
“I am very skeptical of people watching my animals, but Kira and her husband have exceeded my expectations. They take such good care of my Molly. She is always a happy girl when I pick her up!”
“Very good experience! Kim was very informative and kept Oscar engaged. She gave him plenty of love, care, and exercise throughout his stay with her. She gave me lots of photos and videos to keep me updated. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Jamie was a wonderful sitter! She kept in touch with pictures and updates while we were away. Our dog seemed much happier and calmer when we picked her up. We feel an in-their-home boarder is the way to go! Highly recommend Jamie!”
“Lorraine really cared for my little dogs by observing their behavior, (eating, drinking) and keeping me posted as to how they were doing. It was the first time I had to leave them and I felt confident they were well cared for and safe.”
“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”
“Kristy was amazing! This was our first time using her but will definitely rebook with her when needed! I ended up running late on our drop off time & she was so understanding & accommodating. She sent me lots of pictures & videos, Ollie had a great time staying with them!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Huntsville
We had a great experience with Ashkan. This was our first time using him. He responded quickly to messages and sent photos every day. He explained how he manages his guest dogs when we dropped Charlie off and we left feeling confident that Charlie was in good hands. Charlie was much more relaxed than usual when we picked him up. We are so glad to have found Ashkan and will check with him first the next time we need to board Charlie.

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.
94% of Huntsville 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 Huntsville 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 Huntsville 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 Huntsville.
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 Huntsville 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.
