“Keith was AMAZING!! He communicated quickly and sent lots of photos during our pups stay. I could tell they were having a great time and were loved the entire they were there!! He even washed their belonging and gave them baths! Definitely will use again for our next boarding!”
“This was our 1st booking with this precious family. They were amazing and cared for our “Ollie” as their own. I received updates with pictures everyday. He loved playing with their sweet dog George and quickly made himself at home. He especially loved snuggles with the children who were so sweet with him. I wish I could leave more than a 5 star review. We can now plan more trips with comfort knowing Ollie will be loved and cared for while we are away.”
“Belinda and James went the extra mile to make our anxious dog feel comfortable. We truley felt like they treated her as one of there own. We looked forward to all of the messages and pictures they sent to us while we were away.”
About: I’ve kept my grand dogs for years and have stayed overnight for several friends on multiple occasions . I have references that talk and bark 😁 I am retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can stay overnight and am usually available on weekends with advance notice. I love snuggles! I ask for an idea of what their day is like and try to follow it as much as possible. I have kept all ages and don’t mind giving medicine or potty training. I live going on walks also!
About: As a pet sitter, I possess a range of unique skills and experiences that set me apart from other sitters. Throughout my life, I have been entrusted with the care of various dogs, and this early exposure has allowed me to develop a deep understanding and love for these furry companions. One of the key factors that distinguishes me as a pet sitter is my extensive experience. Since the age of 20, I have been actively involved in taking care of dogs. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or bathing, I have been the go-to person for neighbors, friends, and family when it comes to looking after their pets. This hands-on experience has provided me with invaluable knowledge about the different needs and behaviors of dogs, enabling me to provide the best care possible. I’m currently working part time at nights. Anytime before 3 works best. And I’m home in time enough to make sure my clients receive the best care. The inside of my house is pretty spacious enough for our furry friends to roam and relax , also have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space. There’s also a dog park nearby.
“Griffin had a great time at his sleepover with Morgan! I appreciate all the care and attention put into our boy’s stay, ensuring he was comfortable. So happy to have a safe second home for him to go when needed!”
“Ashely was great!!! I was very nervous because my Rusty is only used to my son & I. Ashley made me extremely comfortable & I would most def leave my Rusty with her again! She sent videos & kept me updated with how he was doing! He even made a new friend to play with, Bodie! ☺️????”
“Magaen was wonderful with our cat Goldie. He's an older cat who does not like change and in a few days she had him relaxed and freely roaming her place. She provided lots of pictures, which relieved my stress of wondering how he was adjusting. We will definitely be using Meagaen again and give her the highest of rates.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 24 years old and I like to give them an amazing experience. I can be very careful with old age. They always have their special time for each one. Dedicate myself 100% to take care of them and I do it with a lot of dedication and patience. I have enough time for them to never feel alone. I have a fenced garden and two little social dogs if you like me to have friends, I live in a farm and I will never be bored.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I’m also a certified veterinary assistant and have extensive training with animals. I have worked in the veterinary field for 7 years. I am a stay at home mom so I have full availability with my son. On weekends I have better availability with just me as my husband can watch the baby. My home has a huge unfenced yard. I can take ur babies out and let them run (as long as they have a good recall). we also have alot of walking trails as well!
“Julia was awesome! Sent lots of pictures, was super quick to respond and gave lots of updates! We met Scout a few days before so our dogs could adjust, and that put us at ease leaving them for so many nights.”
About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. I work full-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my pet care commitments carefully. I have three days off each week, and I can often arrange extended time off for bookings that require extra attention. On workdays, I make sure pets receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need before and after my shifts, and I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. My goal is to provide reliable, consistent care while keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and preferences so they receive individualized care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Toya is AMAZING. Our baby loves spending time with Auntie Toya and is very comfortable (even for being a shelter dog). She has nervous tendencies but don’t come up when Auntie Toya is around… Toya spoils her and loves on her and I have no worries because I know she being spoiled while I’m away. Love knowing she’s in loving hands. Brings me such peace of mind while I’m away. 🫶🏼”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.
About: Hi! I am an avid animal lover and pet owner. Mom to 3 dogs ranging in size from Lab/Shepherd mix to dachshund. I have great sized yard with plenty of room for walks and exercise. I have a separate kennel area if your pets need to be separated from mine. My dogs get along well with other dogs, they are both inside and outside and are welcome on furniture, beds, etc. Although born and raised a country girl in AL, I lived in San Diego CA for 15 years where I got lots of experience being a dog sitter. It is something I have always enjoyed. Your dog will have a great time roaming with us! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide consistent care, attention, exercise, and lots of love. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets feel safe and comfortable. I’m organized and dependable, and I understand that pet owners need someone they can trust to maintain their pets’ routines while they’re away. Pet care isn’t just a task for me; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. I provide loving, attentive care in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow each pet’s specific feeding schedule, walking routine, medication instructions if needed, and preferred playtime and cuddle time. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their fur babies are in good hands. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they would be with their own family.
“Bobby, Was wonderful with our puppies. He has taken the most care and attention to updating us while on trip about our dog. You could tell when he was with your dog that he really loved them. He has a heart for animals. Also a great person with communication.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
Kira was very interested in the well being of our puppy, Penny, asking thorough questions about her care and feeding. She and her husband, Carter, were willing to take Penny even though she was not spade yet. We were sent photos and updates on how she was doing while we were away. Highly recommend them.
So glad I found James and Emily! They were so easy to work with and took such great care of my pup Theo. Throughout the stay, they sent photos, kept me updated, and worked with me on changing my pickup time due to some flight delays. Definitely will work with them again as I know Theo was safe, happy, and enjoyed plenty of cuddles!
Olivia was wonderful with Charlie. I didn't have to worry about him for one second while we were away. I could tell by the pictures she sent that he was happy, at ease, and doing great. When you have an older dog it can be very hard to leave them and I was so grateful that I found Olivia, I could tell immediately that she was a great fit. She will definitely be my go to in the future!
I felt so relieved to find sweet Jessica and Jeffery. They cared for my baby like she was there own and she had a blast with their puppy Joey!! I felt so much better on my vacation knowing my baby was with people who cared so much for her. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!
Highly recommend Autumn and Paul! They have taken care of our pups a couple times now and have done an exceptional job. Our pups were well loved, given great care and attention and were so happy when we picked them up. So glad we have found this sweet family to care for our dogs when we are away.
Diane took Fantastic care of Winston for a week. It was so very nice to go on vacation and not worry about him. She genuinely cares and enjoys dogs, was super easy to work with, has a great yard, sent us pictures and updates. Winston was very well cared for and had a good time with her and Jackie. Thank you so very much Diane!!!!

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.

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 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
