“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🤘❤️”
“It was our dogs’ first time to spend the day with Kira, and I do believe they had a great time! One fell asleep within minutes of leaving her house and the other could barely keep her eyes open on the ride home. Kira is so calm, sweet, and attentive with the dogs, and you can tell she truly has a heart for animals. I had no concerns leaving my pups with her. And her home is so clean and organized! How she does it, I don’t know! I am very much looking forward to my dogs spending more time with her in the near future.”
About: I have hands on veterinary assisting experience, strong understanding of animal behavior, and my ability to care for a wide range of species not just dogs and cats. I’m comfortable supporting pets with structure and routine. I have experience caring for neonate puppies who need consistency and extra monitoring, as well as senior pets who require patience, and gentle handling. I’m also confident handling large and powerful breeds. Pet care is already a central part of my daily life. I run an online freeze-dried raw pet treat business and spend most of my time working from home or actively caring for animals. At home, I spend a great deal of time with my own dogs through structured activities like long wooded walks, socialization, and desensitization work. I also work with clients who need support with whelping and early puppy care. I provide structured, calm care with safety as the priority. Dogs are supervised during free time and I believe in crate training as a positive tool for rest and security. Feeding is done separately to respect space, followed by quiet crate time after meals to help prevent bloat. Once rested, dogs return to supervised free time.
“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!”
“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!!!!”
“Colleen was able to watch Sully for doggy daycare very last minute! When I picked up Sully he was very happy and acting himself. Colleen was a good communicator and sent me updates throughout the day. I felt great about Sully being cared for her!”
“Kristy was a great sitter for our very high energy Boxer! I was able to make a reservation on short notice. Drop off and pick up were quick and easy. Our pup slept GREAT after a day of play with Kristy's dog. Will book again in the future!”
“Ben is one of the best dog sitters Lamby’s met! He was available last minute and even helped us with transport as we only had our RV and finding a pet friendly taxi in town was challenging. Lamb Chop almost wanted to stay with Ben he had such a good day, and he was perfectly tuckered out and content after a fun time.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Scott was so wonderful with our puppy! He was very communicative and kind and his family is so adorable! Scott was able to handle our dog being slightly aggressive which we so appreciated. Our dog had a great time and came home happy and tired!”
“Kayla was fantastic with my pup Myra during her stay for daycare. Myra got to play with Kayla’s pups, sit outside and enjoy the weather, and even did some fun training for treats. She kept in touch during the day and took some great pictures so I could see what Myra’s day looked like. I would absolutely recommend using her services, and if we weren’t moving we would totally use her again!”
About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl. A nurse who has cared for dogs all of my life and animal health care knowledge I work full time from home, so your pets will always have someone at home. Your dog will have a full time sitter with them. I have a fenced home with a doggie patio door installed in the back patio door for your dog to have free access to my backyard which is fenced. My home is clean, spacious and dog friendly for your dog.
“This family is absolutely beautiful in every way. Willow loves and approves. I highly recommend, and will be informing any of my small dog friends about Ali. She and her family worked really well with Willow in keeping her content with her separation anxiety and provide the ultimate safety, love, care, and understanding for my fur baby. If you are reading this comment, know this family is worth every penny for daycare and overnight stays so that you can do what you need without worry. I can see what makes her a Star Sitter for sure!”
“Hope was great! She sent several updates during the day and made sure my dog was comfortable. She was also very flexible and was able to book us last minute. I’ll definitely be using her again!”

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.
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!!!!

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 202 sitters in Madison, 88% 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.
