“Terwrin was great. She kept me informed on Maggie’s stay and sent pictures. Maggie had a great time and loves miss Terwrin also. Highly recommend. I will definitely be a repeat customer. ??”
“We had to make a last minute trip out of state due a few days. Fiona was happy to help! Ghost loves being with her and all his different friends 😍 Fiona does an awesome job communicating, sharing updates, and sending fantastic pictures! Having a safe, clean, and fun place for him to go when he can't be with us is the best! Big thanks to Fiona!”
“Jana is such a blessing! She has taking great care of our less that year old mini-dachshund like a pro! He loves going to her house. Jana sends pictures and communicates so well! She has been flexible with us during family illnesses and flight changes, etc.”
“Michael was simply awesome! Our sweet Daisy warmed up to him immediately, and made some new friends too! I will use him EVERY TIME I need boarding care. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!”
“Newman really enjoyed his time at Corey’s house! I was updated regularly with pictures showing how he was doing. The pick up and drop off by Corey was so convenient for us. We will definitely use him again.”
“This was Nadia's 5th stay at Taylor's house and we have two more booked. Taylor takes good care of Nadia and she always seems so relaxed after her "staycation" Taylor does a great job and you can tell she loves the dogs that visit.”
“We love leaving our girl with Kemarie. She always sends us pictures throughout the day and stays in constant communication. We always have such a feeling of comfort leaving our girl with her.”
“Scout always loves staying with Majorca and I feel so at ease when I have had to travel without my pup. I get pictures and videos and Scout is always excited to see her and play. Thank you for taking such good care of my pup!”
“We needed to take an extended trip and wanted to find a long term boarding solution where our airedale terrier would not be kept in a run most of the time. Working through Rover, we discovered Jennifer J and found what we were looking for. From our initial meeting, it was clear that Jennifer is a real dog person and treats her clients like they are members of the family. She provides plenty of love and attention to her boarding dogs and they live in the house like they are family pets. Our baby spent 21 happy days playing in the yard and with other dogs in a warm, comfortable environment. We received frequent updates on his status and plenty of pictures of him "loving life". I strongly recommend Jennifer to take care of your 4-legged babies if you need to travel. She does absolutely fantastic work!”
“Nicole was so nice and cared for my two Aussie babies for two nights while I was out of town. I loved getting pictures throughout my trip. She took them out for walks and they looked so happy and comfortable with her. 10/10 recommend! Will definitely be back💕”
“Melanie and her family were wonderful with Maya. Her dog Georgie was also so sweet and was able to put up with our high energy pup. We are so grateful for the great care that was provided and we would trust our furry ones with Melanie any day.”
“Aleisha was awesome with GG. GG was GG so that meant lots of love and play time with the other Family Critters. When I picked her up after a week GG was happy, healthy, and CLEAN! What 4 legged girl doesn't like a hot bath after a week of playing and good loving? Thank You Aleisha and Family. JP”
“Jessica was a last-minute reservation to keep Shelby for me as I had to fly out of the country. She gave me updates daily on him with pictures of how well he was doing, and I’m amazed because Shelby is such a mama’s boy that it’s too funny that he adapted to other people as well as he did I will definitely”
“We really appreciate the care that Deke gave to our Luna. The daily pictures and messages were wonderful, and greatly appreciated. We look forward to having him as a sitter again!”
“Jeily was amazing with my little baby! From the meet and greet to pick up she made me feel so comfortable my Groover was in good hands. She sent pupdates every day so I could feel at ease during my trip. Highly recommended, she’s fantastic!”
About: l've had over 10 dogs throughout my life and I currently have 4 (2 at each of my parents houses). I also have a cat and I love them all so much! I've always been an avid animal lover and would love to meet your pets and help take care of them! I can board them at my home if they are dog and cat friendly and I can also come to your home to care for them! I am at home full time and am currently taking a gap between school so 1 am fully capable of giving your pet the care and love it needs 24/7 while you are away! I live in a large neighborhood with sidewalks and lots of grass which is great for walking your pup and I have a large backyard for your animals to play in!! I am able to do full day care all days! I currently am taking a break from work and schooling so I can take care of you dog or cat at any time any day of the week! I can walk you pup, do drop in visits, overnight care, or anything needed! (my profile says my house has 4 dogs but the house I board any pets at only has 2! my other two dogs live with my mom!) I have no preference between boarding and sitting! I live in a private residential home with lots of room for your pet to play and/or relax! I have a large, fenced yard for them to play in as well. I have two dogs and a cat, all of which are very friendly! My two dogs are large dogs, (Golden Retriever and Bernese Mountain Dog) so if your pet is afraid of large dogs and/or doesn't like high energy dogs, they may not enjoy their stay! They are very sweet and don't fight with other dogs unless provoked and my Bernese is very skittish. Some animals could get overwhelmed from their high energy behavior. They calm down fairly quickly (10-20 minutes) then become very relaxed and lazy dogs. My cat is very sweet and loves dogs as well. She was raised by a Collie and loves to play with dogs if they let her. Your pet can sleep in a kennel if that's preferred but I'm also perfectly fine with them sleeping and staying around the house at all times if you prefer that as well!
“Laura took exceptional care of my two Pomeranians. She treated them like they were hers and made them feel safe and comfortable. She was always extremely responsive and sent me updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. She followed their routines & schedules and I could tell they felt right at home. It can be a stressful time to be separated from your fur babies but I was reassured knowing they were in Laura’s care. I cannot recommend her enough and would gladly use her services again!”

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 Josephine 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 Josephine.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Josephine 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.
