“Another wonderful stay with Jessica! She treats my puppy like her own. We are so grateful for her updates throughout our trip and the detailed report she provides when we return home. She’s the best and has a lovely home full of love and toys.”
“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!”
“Libby had a clean home, spacious space for Grey to stay & updated us with text & pics. She has a fenced in yard on the side & fenced in deck for the pups to play/relax safely. Grey was well taken care of & if we are in the area again we would rebook.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and would do some pet sitting during college. Growing up dogs have been part of the family and I will treat your pets with the same respect, care, and love. Im a behavioral therapist for kids during the week, but my weekends are open for your fur babies! I’m also available for pet drop ins after 5pm during the week! I will be sure to take any necessary precautions as needed for your pets’ health and safety. I can assure you they’ll be well taken care of with me!
“Katherine was so sweet and made sure to keep me updated. I told her that this was my first time boarding Lu privately, so she made this SO comfortable and I got a bunch of super cute pictures out of it!”
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.
“Christopher and Sore were amazing! They provided great care for our lab with many updates and pictures. We booked with them last minute for a holiday weekend and they were so accommodating. Our lab can be high energy and anxious at times and we felt like they managed her well while we were gone. We would use them again if we need services in the future. Highly recommend.”
“Jonathan and family were so kind and took great care of our dog Sookie. They were very accommodating and did a great job of communicating while we were out of town. I would 100% use Jonathan again to keep our doggie. Thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I cannot say enough good things about our pet sitter Carson. She was perfect for us and our pet babies and from the very beginning of the process she was great. She was quick to respond to my initial message and she was informative and accommodating. She welcomed our babies into her home and sent us pictures and texts to let us know they were doing well which was so nice. She even went above and beyond when my flight home was going to make me late for our pickup time and was so helpful and accommodating! Overall, it was one of the best experiences with pet sitting/ boarding that we’ve ever had. Carson, thank you much for taking care of our babies! You don’t know how nice it was to know that they were being loved while we were away. And thank you so much for the pictures and for always reaching out to ask me questions about them. I hope they were good for you and that are invited back again because you guys were so wonderful and a godsend. Thank you again!!!! 💕”
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 her girls were so sweet to Zeus! I’m so glad I booked her for this overnight stay. I loved the photos and that he was able to play the entire time rather than being stuck in a crate at the boarder’s. I would definitely recommend Charlie and plan to use her again!”
“Ashley was extremely professional and pleasant to work with. She took very good care of my dog and event went the extra mile to ensure she was happy. Upon Mercedes return home, she was happy and full of energy. She didn’t like the diaper, but was very happy. She even goes outside for the bathroom now. Thanks Ashley for taking care of my little one. I’m glad I found you on Rover. Would recommend her totally.”
“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😊”
“Chyna was absolutely amazing with our babies, Hampton and Willow! She cared for them overnight and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, loving, and made sure both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Hampton and Willow were happy and relaxed when we returned, which says everything. We are so grateful for Chyna and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”
“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!”

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.

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.
