About: I’m a coach and educator with years of experience caring for animals. I bring patience, reliability, and an active lifestyle to every walk, drop-in, and stay. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or keeping routines consistent, I’ll make sure your pets are well cared for and comfortable while you’re away. As a coach and teacher, I have a flexible schedule during the summer that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m able to consistently fit walks, drop-ins, and playtime into my daily routine while making sure pets stay comfortable and active. With extra availability throughout the week, I can provide reliable care, longer walks, and plenty of attention while you’re away. Your pets will be in a safe, comfortable, and active environment with me. If boarding with me, they’ll also have the company of my two friendly dogs. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of room to play, and I’m close to a park for walks and extra exercise. As a coach, I’m active, dependable, and used to maintaining routines and responsibilities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they get the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away.
“They were amazing!! Super attentive, caring and kept us updated with pictures the whole time. Our pets were happy and well take care of. We’ll definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!! 🐾 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“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.”
“Shelby was such a great dog sitter for our dog! She sent the best pictures of him enjoying his stay and kept us updated with him on our long weekend trip. Her dogs seemed to be super friendly too and played with ours so we know he was in good hands the whole time!”
About: My husband and I have grown up with various dog breeds, different sizes, different ages, & different personalities. And we love them all! I have the position to be with them all day & night. With owner's permission we have a fenced in dog park for them to play and potty! I currently work remote, therefore I am able to be with them throughout the day/night. Plenty of opportunities to potty, eat, drink, snuggle, and play! My husband and I leave in a two story townhouse. We have two friendly dogs ages 8 & 5 and would love to have a buddy! We have a walking path to walk. We have a fenced in dog park very close to our home.
“Charlie and family were great! Took our dog Terrance for a last minute weekend booking. Kept us updated with regular pics and texts. Would definitely use again. Thanks so much!!”
“Thank you Ashley! Ashley was very nice and took good care of my dog. She sent pictures and updates every day. She took her walking and played with her. She treated my baby like she was one of her own. I will definitely be using Ashley again soon.”
“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.”
“It was a pleasure to have Parris watch and take care of our almost 17 year old dog Vanilla for 5 days. Paris communicated very well, was prepared, and we highly recommend her! 👌”
“Tilly had so much fun with her fur friend! And Jessica was GREAT! Very attentive and accommodating! She always sent photos when we asked! Tilly looked like she absolutely had a blast! We definitely recommend Jessica to anyone needing someone to sit their dog!”
“Doug was very kind to us and extremely hospitable to our cocker spaniel, Charlie, while we were gone for the week. He sent daily updates and time stamps on potties/feedings/medicines, which is even more than we asked for. He gave our dog plenty of walks and stimulation, and send lots of pictures. We feel very comfortable leaving Charlie with Doug again!”
“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!”
“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”
About: Growing up I was the girl on the street who preferred petsitting to babysitting, and as soon I could in my 20s, I adopted the sickest oldest cats in the facilities and loved them until their deaths. In my 30s I’ve mixed it up and have two big rescue dogs, and we’ve been at the dog park nearly every day for 6 years now. Wow they grow fast! I’d love to share a moment of your lives with a walk or overnight, and I’ll treat them like family — only better. :) I am available Monday-Sunday. There are many parks and we walk several times a day and play on- and off-leash. Basically, my two dogs are my life right now so I thought I’d try this to have something to do! I have a two-bedroom apartment but one is devoted to the dogs and there is extra space in my master room if dogs don’t need to sleep together. While I only have a balcony, it is good enough for my dogs to sunbathe on and stare at passersby. Additionally, there are many parks nearby and we walk several times a day and play, off- and on-leash available. I’m open for questions. I’d love to have your pet to add to my life while I pursue stand up comedy.
“Carson did a great job taking care of my dogs. She is very professional and wants to keep them happy. She even sent pictures showing how much fun they were having and lots of hugs. Will definitely use her again!!”
“Alyssa was so good with our old girl! She has some trouble with stairs since she's an older girl but Alyssa moved her crate location so she could avoid the stairs. She also has some anxiety but it seems like Alyssa did a great job at helping her feel calm and relaxed in her new location. We will definitely be using her again when we next go out of town!”
“This was my puppy’s first time ever being with anyone outside of me, and from the pictures and videos, I could tell my baby girl had an amazing time! She was so sweet, caring, and friendly with my puppy that my baby didn’t even want to leave by the end. I’m so grateful for the service and would definitely recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting services. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again😊”
“Amy was fantastic! She picked him up and dropped him off on time, sent pictures and videos daily, and was very kind. He had a wonderful time! Will most definitely be using her again ?”

There are 382 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Irondale. About 93% of Irondale sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
