“Kira was great in communication. Clean home and lots of space for the dogs to play.We loved all the photos and videos she sent of Foxy and Bear. We would definitely use her service again.”
“Colleen was very accommodating of our last minute request and our puppy was so happy to spend time at Colleen’s. She sent us a much appreciated update and photo. Thank you so much.”
“Willow didn’t want to leave and followed him. That tells me all I need to know. She had a great time on their field trip and play date. He will be seeing Willow again if he is willing🤘❤️”
“I wish I could use Amber over and over again! I live in Indiana and came to Alabama for a quick visit. Amber was accommodating to the difficulty that comes with timing when traveling. She is so kind and warm. She made me feel so reassured about dropping off my two boys and it looks like three of them had a blast. If I lived nearby she would 100% be my go to for all my trips. LOVED her!!!!”
“Milo loves going to Ms. Becky’s house! I’m pretty picky when it comes to our dog child and I knew he was in good hands (and was going to have fun) at her home! The initial meet and greet was great to get me and Milo comfortable before leaving him. He loves water so having the option to cool off and play in her pond was perfect while playing with the other dogs. Definitely coming back to Ms. Becky’s in the near future and would highly recommend her to others!”
“Last minute booking on a stressed road trip, and I could not have been more happy and grateful. Ricco was comfortable and mostly slept after a long night in hotels. So, so grateful. Thank you!”
About: As a dog mom myself I know it’s nerve wracking having to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care.. That’s why I make it priority to give every pet parent the same peace of mind I’d want for my own dogs. When your fur-baby is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. I know no two pets are alike, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. So whether they love to play, need extra enrichment, enjoy quiet companionship, or do better with structure, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable! I also love keeping pet parents involved, so you can expect lots of photos, videos, and updates throughout their stay or visit! Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. Outside of caring for client pets, you’ll usually find me spending time with my own dogs, going on walks and hikes, working on training, and socializing. Caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy every single day. All pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and dogs enjoy plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment activities, toys, and opportunities to relax throughout the day. Every dog is different, so I do my best to match their energy level and personality, whether they love to play with friends or prefer a little 1-on-1 attention. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, meals and treats are enjoyed separately, followed by a quiet rest break in their own cozy crate. I use crates as a positive, comfortable space to relax after meals as downtime which helps support healthy digestion before everyone is back to playing and exploring together.

“Stephanie was great with our little dog. Very responsive to his needs. He had a great time playing at her house and loved her yard. She was very flexible with our schedule which was so helpful. I would definitely bring him back to her house if we are ever in the Huntsville area again.”
“Ashley was the best sitter imaginable for our GSD puppy. She sent tons of photos and most importantly, she knew exactly how to care for our pup. GSD’s are special, and Ashley was well-versed of his natural tendencies especially prey drive and protection. We are so grateful for the wonderful time for our sweet pup and she gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in very capable hands. Will re-book with Ashley next time we come to Huntsville!”
“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! My family has consistently trusted me to watch dogs of all shapes and sizes when they vacation. I love all dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them playing and cuddling and of course providing lots of positive affirmations. My dog gets seizures so I am also equipped to deal with sick dogs. I love to train dogs and teach them new tricks. My dog know lots of tricks and is bell trained so he rings a bell when he needs to potty. I’m working from home so I am always available to be with your furry baby and give them attention 24/7. My fur baby just sit in my office with me and naps and chews on toys while I’m at my desk. I have a very friendly dog who is medium sized and he loves to play!! I’m also an expert dog petter and love to give out treats!
“Morgan was amazing! Great communication, very friendly, and provided regular updates. I was nervous having someone watching my dog, but I could tell she made him and myself at ease. Absolutely recommend!”
“Great communication. Flexible timing. August was so warm and welcoming to our girls. Accepted our last minute request and allowed us a dog-free day of adventure along our road trip.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
Ellie had the best day with Kira & the day care crew! Ellie hasn’t had much interaction with other dogs so we were unsure how she would do, but turns out she was a rockstar and loved playing with friends so much and I know it was because of Kira! She made us feel so comfortable and sent us pictures of Ellie living her best, playful life!
You want a trusted, kind, caring, understanding, and knowledgeable pet sitter. I highly recommend Autumn and Paul. They treasure your pups and their dogs are also great! Your fur baby is guaranteed to leave exhausted but ready to come back the next day for more fun times.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Madison commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 195 sitters in Madison, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
