“Violet had a great time while we were away. Brittany sent pictures daily of how well she was doing. We will definitely use her again anytime we travel out of town.”
“Pope had a great time with Cassie! A weekend full of playing. This was my first time boarding him and she made me feel very confident that he was well taken care of! Highly recommended and will be using her again.”
“Steven welcomed our two sister mini-dachshunds into his house for a week while my family went on vacation. As these are senior dogs (15+), they do have some special needs, but Steven handled both with care and attention while sending us daily updates with pictures. We are so grateful for Steven and his family for the care they gave to our babies.”
“Thank you Kelly & Brian for making this process a breeze. This was my first time using the app and I would definitely book with you again. The updates and photos put me at ease, ensuring my little one was comfortable. Again thank you for everything!”

“Excellent care of my fur babies as always!! Especially with my one dog being blind I’m never worried on how she is doing. Communication is always given and appreciated!!”
“This was my first time using Rover and leaving my dogs with a sitter. The meet & greet with Kira made me feel more comfortable leaving them with her. I loved getting pictures of my dogs and an update each day! My dogs had a nice time with other playmates too! I will be using Kira for future dog sitting needs, she is great! ?”
About: I care for every dog like family—think loving “auntie” energy with structure and consistency. I create a calm, safe environment, provide regular updates, and focus on helping each dog feel secure, happy, and right at home. I’m home often and build pet care into my daily rhythm, allowing for frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention so your dog feels comfortable and cared for. In my home, your dog becomes part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and calm environment with plenty of attention, affection, and structure. I follow their routine closely and provide regular updates so you always feel connected and confident in their care.
“We had Melanie keep our little man for the first time while we were out of town for 7 days. She sent us several pictures every day with an update on his wellbeing. The peace of mind we had while away was immeasurable and we cannot thank Melanie enough for taking wonderful care of our sweet baby! 🐾 Thank you again! 🩷🐾”
“Kelsey and her family provided safe and loving home for my two cats during my travel. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Her kids are wonderful with animals. One of the pictures shows Kelsey's little daughter gently petting and kissing my cat. It is so beautiful that I'm going to frame it.”
“My dog had a blast with Kristy. If you want your dog to be tired out, she is the one to book. Very flexible and communicative. She sent many pictures of my dog while I was away. Will definitely book her again!”
“Danielle took excellent care of my boy Steven while I was away. And even though I had to ask for an extension of his stay she was accommodating and welcoming. And maintained excellent communication throughout the two weeks of boarding for him. I’ll definitely be booking with her more frequently. I know Steven enjoyed his stay and even made some friends along the way. 10/10 will return!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Panda had a great time staying at Brett's. I was relieved to see that Brett's place is very clean and comfy for Panda's 1 week stay. Brett responded promptly and was easy to work with.”
“Absolutely loved Emily and Jonathan! They were so welcoming, warm, and kind to us and our fur babies. Next trip or anything we need our little girls will only go to them! They aren’t in our direction or area at all, but it is totally worth the love and peace of mind they give for our girls to go there!! I would recommend them 10/10! Thank y’all so much for all the love you gave Lillie and Rosie!”

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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Huntsville on Rover is $38.85 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 .

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.
