“10/10 fur-baby-sitter! Celeste and her husband were very helpful when moving the dog crate in and out of their home. Celeste would also consistently send me pictures and updates about my fur baby while I was away! They were very accommodating to his odd tendencies and high maintenance, and they even sent him home with a little doggy goodie bag! I think my pet had a fun little weekend, especially since he had other dogs to keep him company, and I am very happy with the service given by Celeste and their husband. I will be using them again whenever I take another trip out of town!”
“Emalie was great with our two cats. She went above and beyond by getting their nails clipped for us and everything. Great place for all animals. I will be using her again in the future.”
“I can’t say enough about the wonderful care my dog received with Kathryn. She was so accommodating to us and always available for questions. We received so many pictures and regular updates on how he was doing. We decided to extend our trip one more day, and Kathryn was readily available to keep him another night for us. I will not hesitate to board with her in the future.”
“My puppies absolutely loved Cheryl! She was attentive, thorough, and a great communicator. We’ll definitely be using her as our #1 sitter. My boys didn’t even want to leave—which says it all about how wonderful she is!”
“Lindsay is an excellent sitter with a wonderful home and family environment. She treated my pup with care as if he was her own and kept me updated daily with pictures. I highly recommend Lindsay and will definitely use again in the future.”

“Graham is wonderful and Phoenix seems to have enjoyed himself immensely...in spite of the unexpected snow. Ha ha!! I really appreciate the pics Graham sent, his communication and flexibility. I will definitely book again!”
“Taylor and her husband were amazing! They were very knowledgeable about dogs and helped ease my worry of letting my dogs stay with someone I didn’t know. definitely will be using them again in the future!”
“Ellie really enjoyed staying with Ivania and her dog, Lex. She went the extra mile to make sure Ellie was well taken care of and was very accommodating during the booking process. If you're looking for a great dog sitter, look no further!”
“Caesar had a wonderful time at Terri’s this past week! Her dog, Zeus, was pleasant addition and they got along great! I highly recommend your dog’s stay at Terri’s house!”
“Gabrielle went way above and beyond while looking after my two dogs! They enjoyed at least two walks per day and frequent visits and lots of TLC, as well as some unexpected perks regarding behavior modification, i.e. she got one of my dogs to bark less! She was an absolute gem and frequently sent videos and photos of my dogs when I was away for three nights. I highly recommend using Gabrielle for your next special friend sitter!”
“Erica kept our dogs for a full week and we are thrilled and impressed with her care and communication. When she says she’ll treat your dog just like they’re hers, it’s not a cliche. She means it! We have no complaints. Erica exceeded all of our expectations. Ted and Aria love you and so do we. You’re family now.”

I work from home, so let’s in my care aren’t left alone for long stretches of the day. I have more than 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up in a home with multiple pets and rescues, and over the years have fostered numerous dogs as well.

“Brenda was great!! Little Kat got all the attention she could handle, and had fun exploring a new place. Brenda sent lots of pictures, and took great care of our princess.”
“Chance had a great time with Kimberly and I never doubted he would be taken care of like one of her own. He was pooped by the time he came home which means he had fun. Not to mention she took us as a client last minute. She was a life saver!”
“Courtney was an excellent sitter and very pleasant to meet. We met prior to the stay and although Beta was a little wary of her dog, Tito, she was phenomenal in getting them comfortable with each other. Beta has had exposure with many dogs but I was a bit nervous as most parents of how he would handle to anxiety (he has quite a bit at times!) I am so incredibly happy with Courtney's expertise and her sweet pictures that she sent during out trip. She is highly recommended!”
“We loved Lily! She took care of our Chicky for four days during Thanksgiving and did a wonderful job. She sent us pics of our dog multiple times a day and gave us daily updates. Chicky went on walks and was spoiled with pets! She also had medication to take which Lily made sure to give her at her prescribed times. Overall we were very happy with Lily and would definitely use her services again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Malbis
Olivia was absolutely wonderful with our two Chihuahuas while we were away on a family trip. She boarded them in her home over the weekend and made the entire experience stress-free. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and always happy to answer any questions I had or provide updates on how they were doing. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were gone. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter, and we will definitely book with her again!

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. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
98% of sitters in Malbis can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Malbis 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 Malbis.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Malbis. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Malbis 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
