“Lauren was amazing!!! Not only did she send pictures of our Walter while he was at ‘camp’ but she also helped break him of some puppy behaviors that we were ștruggling with. Will definitely visit again!”

“Brandi and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog. She sent me lots of updates and pictures and had great communication. I felt completely confident our dog was safe and taken care of. Our dog was a little dramatic with their sweet older dog and Brandi was so kind navigating that (was totally our dog’s fault).”

“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”

“Oh my gosh! Pam is amazing with Jack. She really makes him feel at home and comfortable and that makes me feel so grateful. Jack is such a good soul and deserves lots of love and attention, which we found in Pam. Than you Pam!”

“Absolutely perfect hosts. I felt very secure knowing my pup was in great hands while I was on vacation, many updates and pics throughout the week. We had dead phones, lost connections, flight delays, and Giulia and her spouse were nothing but caring and understanding. I highly recommend and will def be using them again for my travels. We have had a few Rover experiences and this is by far the only sitter I trust w my boy!”

“I am SO glad we found Kristen! We boarded our dog Rosie for almost a week and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Prior to booking and leaving Rosie on her first day, Kristen was very attentive and made sure everyone was calm and comfortable in the new environment. Then she sent plenty of pictures of everyone happy and healthy playing in the HUGE backyard. It's a relief knowing that we have someone to care for Rosie, where she'll get love and exercise, if we're ever out of town!”

“We felt so comfortable leaving our pups and cat in Crista’s care. We loved being updated frequently with pictures. Our girls had fun and were well cared for while we were away!”

“Angela was wonderful with our babies. She kept us well looped in while we were out of the country. Our kids even made new besties with her fur babies, they played hard all week, so naturally were worn out when we got them home (worn out in a good way). The initial meeting went well, loved the fact her yard is fenced in. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for their kids.”


About: I currently have a bloodhound and 4 cats, as well as a foster dog. My had my last dog for 15 years, so I am very experienced in senior dog care. Old doggos have a special place in my heart. I am self employed so I have a fairly flexible schedule so I can usually work around anything that might be needed or come up. I have a fenced in yard as well as a doggie door so dogs have constant access to the back yard. I also walk dogs 1-2 times a day.
“Avery was the perfect person for Pei!! Not only did Pei have the best time with Avery, but Avery constantly sent updates keeping me posted about my anxious elderly girl (who was NOT anxious AT ALL around her new BFF😁). We will definitely book with Avery again!”

“Taylor [& her husband] were amazing! They took such great care of my dog / 2-year-old puppy! And their dog Maggie was lovely too. I know Archie had a fabulous time as after I picked him up in the morning - he literally napped all day! I will definitely have Archie stay with them again!”


“Sonia and her family were absolutely fabulous! We had a last minute booking and she totally came through for us! I felt so comfortable having my pup stay with her and we got so many photos and updates! I would highly recommend using her services for your own pup!”

About: My husband and I have had dogs our entire lives and love having them around. We have a 2-year-old Golden Retriever of our own who is friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs. At least one of us is always around to keep your dog company and provide supervision. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including walks, playtime, and downtime. We understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and we’ll make sure yours feels comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. My husband works remotely, and I work part-time. Between the two of us, at least one is always home to provide supervision, company, and attention. We can fit walks, playtime, meals, and rest into our daily routine while following your pet’s usual schedule. We have a fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play, as well as a crate available if needed or preferred. We also have a friendly 2-year-old Golden Retriever. We’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety, follow your instructions and routines, and make sure they have a comfortable environment. We’re happy to discuss any specific needs or preferences before their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of my brothers, friends, and family’s dogs periodically throughout the decades and have now personally had my own pup for going on 3 years. I make it a point to give each dog, whether it’s mine or someone’s else’s a fun and good life to live. A dormant unattended to dog bothers me to no end so your dog would be in not only great hands but hands that will actively pursue making your dad have the best day! I currently work weekends at the hospital so most of my week days are free and clear! I’m a natural night owl so being up late isn’t a problem either I live in a fenced/gated town home community with extremely friendly neighbors who all have dogs. We have a gated dog park for all the dogs to mingle and play as well as many parks and fields surrounding the home to where they can get exercise! Each dog will be directly cared for 1 on 1 with me in my townhome to ensure proper care
“We highly recommend Beth as a Pet sitter for several reasons. She was very concerned of our dog wellbeing, she is very kind, attentive, send us a lot of pictures, she does have a really large fenced yard for the dogs to play, her dogs are gentle and love to play. She cares for your pet as same way that she loves hers. We are very grateful to have found her to watch our dog.”

About: Your fur babies will be treated like my own while in my care. I'm home all day, have a fenced backyard, and am close to walking trails. While I don't currently have a pet of my own, I have experience with cats and dogs, young and old, and will give your family member the best of care. Your fur baby will be my job while in my care. I'm available 24/7 for belly rubs, walks, snuggles, and treats. Whether it's snoozing inside or sunning outside, your little one makes the call. My backyard is small but fenced, and very secure. Yours can be the only dog or cat if necessary, as I don't currently have any of my own. You'll get lots of pictures and daily check-ins.

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 Long Island 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 Long Island.
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 Long Island 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.
