“Our Dachshund Teddy has been going to Kira's home for almost 2 years for both daycare and boarding. Recently we've had some stressful situations (flying out of state for a funeral, emergency medical issues and the loss of another pet) I never had to worry if Teddy was being well cared and all his needs met. My husband, I and our Doxie all consider Kira's home his home away from home. Teddy is always excited to return regardless if he had been to Daycare multiple times in a week or been boarded for an extended period of time. Peace of mind when entrusting someone with the care of a furbaby is priceless and that is what Kira and her husband provide. You two are the BEST”
“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.”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a young child. Dogs are a joy and I love having them around. Each and every dog I’ve cared for gets plenty of attention within my household. Special care requests will be accommodated as much as possible. I am retired and a stay at home dad. This allows me to be home with your fur baby throughout the day and night. Your pup will have constant and consistent supervision throughout the day. If I need to leave the house for any reason, all dogs will be put in their safe place. I have a fenced yard and three small friendly dogs. I can crate your pup if requested or easily separate any dogs when needed. I do have plenty of dog toys for your pup to enjoy. During feeding time, all dogs are separated and watched closely.
About: I have 3 years of experience caring for my own Border Collie, so I’m very comfortable with active, energetic dogs and understand the importance of regular exercise, attention, and playtime. I also regularly care for a friend’s dog when their family travels to Korea, sometimes for about two months at a time. During these extended stays, I provide daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I personally provide all pet care for my Rover bookings and will be the sole caregiver for the pets in my care. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I have my own Border Collie. I’m used to planning my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and exercise. My schedule is flexible, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and make sure they get the care and activity they need throughout the day. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. My home also has a friendly Border Collie who is comfortable being around other dogs. Three children live in the home—one in high school, one in middle school, and one in 5th grade—and they are used to being around dogs and love animals. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I personally make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and a safe and comfortable place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like family while they’re staying in my home.
“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!”
“Provided excellent care for my fur baby! He really enjoyed himself and tired himself out! They sent pictures and video throughout the day to reassure my baby was fine and okay! I appreciate the service provided”

Autumn and Paul are absolutely great. My girls can’t get anymore excited when they see we are pulling into their neighborhood or when they see her and her daughter come to the house for a walk. They just bounce all over the place and whimper if I don’t unlatch their seat belt fast enough and open the door. You will know you can trust them because your dogs will know. She updates you regularly, she cares for their special needs, she also has help and given very helpful advice on many things about your pups. She isn’t just your dog’s pet sitter or walker. She is your dog’s great friend. Someone who can give you peace of mind while you have to be away from your emotionally sensitive pups, and knows exactly what they need
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 199 sitters in Madison, 86% 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.
