“This was my first time to use Rover.com for finding a local pet sitter to take care of my two dogs. I chose Terwin due to all of her positive reviews. I was most pleased for the care she gave my dogs while I was away from home. I received photos of my dogs while under her care which helped to ease the anxiety of wondering how my dogs were adapting. I highly recommend Terwin and I certainly will use her service again!”
“Belinda was great with our two pups, handled all the intricacies and their needs with ease. The next time we’re in the area and need to board she will be our first call. Thank you!!”
“We used Jana while we were in town for a wedding. She was great with our pup and did an awesome job of updating us on how he was doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again next time we visit!”
“Sue and Gary were great, very kind. They took great care of my boy. I. Wish I’d gotten more picture updates, because I miss him so much when I leave him with others, so they still get 5 stars.”
“Taylor was great with my cat! She kept me updated on her well-being and Micha was happy when she returned. Taylor has experience with insulin injections and helped administer them to my diabetic cat which was a life saver. Wonderful stay.”
“Elaine was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! While we were out of town, she made sure to send consistent, entertaining updates about our sweet Daisy girl. We thoroughly appreciate the amount of love that you have for what you do, Elaine! We’ll see you again in a few months!!”
“Joy was great! I knew my Bear was in great hands with Joy. She kept me up to date on my dog’s daily activities and was a ‘joy’ to work with. :) I definitely recommend, and will be a returning customer!!”
“Cooper had a great time with Majorca and made a lot of new puppy friends! Majorca sent pictures everyday and kept my boy safe, fed and happy. Cooper was out of energy when I brought him home! Highly recommend!”
“The BEST experience with Kerry and Kim! They loved our sweet Charlie, and he loved staying with them while we vacationed at the beach. Great communication and pictures. We will use them again!”
“Miriah was absolutely amazing with my dog!! She was the sweetest and so friendly. Super flexible which works great for me. The updates with pictures were great, I loved that! Miriah truly cares for animals, I can tell! My pup had a great time. I can’t wait to use her again if I’m ever in the area. Thanks so much Miriah!”
“Andrea was the best choice I could’ve made! If I could rate her 10/5 I would! I’ve never used a sitter before and we’re so lucky that we found her. She is the truest example of an animal lover and she treated Pops like he was her own, taking my high energy guy on plenty of long walks every day, giving him as much park and dog beach time as he needed (and he needs a lot). She knew I was a bit nervous using a sitter, and kept me comfortable and updated with tons of photos and videos of my guy being happy as can be! She kept him de-shedded, gave him the best food, and made sure that he was the picture of health in my absence. She even had a goodbye gift for Pops for me to take when I picked him up! Her pup was such a friendly guy and welcomed Pops like a little (although larger) brother. He was a perfect park pal and walking buddy! She certainly isn’t exaggerating when she says “your pup may get spoiled”! I’ll most definitely be using her any time that I need a sitter, and I simply can’t express how well she took care of my little guy. Pops and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and If I was to list all the little things she did to keep him happy, this review would turn into a novel. 1,000% would recommend!”
“Jennifer was nice enough to take my dog Bixby at the last minute when my previous dog sitting arrangements changed. She took excellent care of Bixby. She sent multiple updates and photos. The dogs could be outside in her fenced backyard. I would highly recommend Jennifer to care for your pet.”
“Great sitter! Very friendly, attentive and welcoming! She took on my two pups at the last minute; literally booked a two night stay and dropped them off within two hours! Thank you for everything!”
“I’m breath taking at the service and care she provided ! Top notch ! From drop off to pick up! Did I mention she bathed him?! We love her and this is our new sitter for ever! Bleu enjoyed them !”
“Ellen took great care of our dog, Lucy, during our trip to Pensacola. She was very communicative, reliable, and easy to work with throughout the stay. We especially appreciated her flexibility when we asked her to pick up and drop off Lucy so she could spend some time with us at the beach. Lucy was well cared for and happy during her stay. I highly recommend Ellen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“As a first time drop off I was really nervous but I was given plenty of updates and photos to ease my tension. I left 2 lovely pups with Ms Stephanie (1 large and a small old man) and she was able to keep them both entertained, loved and cuddled. When picking them up I was happy to see they warmed up to her quite well and I would happily recommend her services to anyone!”
About: Hi! I’m from the southern states and love beach walks and keeping active! I’d love to walk your pup! I have puppies of my own back home and could use some pup snuggles/walks! I have plenty of time to work around your schedule! I’d love to pick up some walks daily. I love closing my Apple Watch rings😁 so daily walks are a must for me. Even better with a doggy! I don’t prefer to do over nights or in my home since I don’t have the friendliest environment for a dog. However, I would love taking them on walks.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Josephine is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Josephine
My precious 9 year old Stella Bella Roux had the doggie pleasure of staying with Abbie for six nights recently. Abbie took great care of my girl, stayed in contact with me, and sent pictures that made my heart smile big. I know Stella was well cared for and very happy staying with Abbie and her family. I I will certainly let Stella stay with Abbie in the future. I highly recommend Abbie, she is the best dog sitter! 🐾🩷🐾

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Josephine is $21 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $26 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of November 2026, there are 354 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Josephine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
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.
97% of sitters in Josephine can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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, 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 Josephine.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Josephine. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
