“Wow she was great! She was very accommodating for a last minute booking! She allowed me to do a meet and greet and she was very flexible. She sent me pictures of Bailey which made me very happy to see he was well taken care of! From that first visit, I have already booked her for two additional times and will continue to book her for as many as I can! She is awesome and I’m so happy I found her!”
“Danielle is the absolute best, and I’ll hear nothing to the contrary. This was my first time using Rover, and the sitter I originally booked cancelled on me morning of, but Danielle accepted our last minute request on a holiday weekend. I have an old dog with arthritis and medication who can be a picky eater at times, but that was no issue for Danielle. She not only made me feel at ease with constant updates and pictures, but she exercised and socialized him, and he may like her more than me now. My only regrets with this review are that everyone else will book her now and she’ll be unavailable next time we need boarding for a weekend”
About: I’m an educator, dad, and lifelong pet owner with more than 20 years of experience caring for animals. Pets have always been part of my family, so I understand that trusting someone with yours is a big deal. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and comfortable following established routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and all the little things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable. As an early childhood professor, caregiving, observation, communication, and responsibility are quite literally part of what I do every day. I’ll care for your pet with the same attention and affection I expect for my own. As a university professor, my schedule offers more flexibility than a traditional 9-to-5, particularly on certain weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also a dad, so planning, routines, and being dependable are already a big part of my life! I’m happy to coordinate care around your pet’s normal schedule whenever possible and will always be upfront about my availability before accepting a booking. I know pets are family, and I treat both your pet and your home with that level of care and respect. I follow your instructions closely, maintain established feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines, and pay attention to changes in behavior or appetite. I’m patient about letting pets warm up to me at their own pace and prioritize safety at all times. You can also expect dependable communication and updates while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to know that someone you love is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Harold took great care of our dog indie! He was very quick to respond and treated indie like he was one of his own. Harold sent photos every day and truly was a great dog sitter! Would recommend to him to anyone needing a caring, loving dog sitter!”
“Shay and Zach always take great care of our husky. She comes relaxed and happy. They do a great job with communicating and are very flexible to changing plans. Highly recommend!”
“10/10 Jordyn was absolutely amazing with our dogs! We have two medium/large size dogs, one that’s a love bug and had never been boarded before and the other one has severe separation anxiety where previous boarding didn’t go well a couple years ago (previous time was with a different facility). From the initial meet and greet, to daily updates and photos she kept up informed but also made our anxious baby feel so loved. She has a beautiful fenced in area and we felt totally safe leaving our babies with her. We would absolutely use her again in the future! Thank you again for keeping our girls and they are already napping in the backseat :)”
“Kelsey was awesome to say the least! She’s very flexible which was amazing with being stuck in a winter storm I didn’t have to worry about my pup at all. She made Kaia feel right at home and her two dogs played with Kaia great!”
“Amazing! The dogs loved being with Laderius and his family. I hesitated because they are on the opposite end of town from me (North Birmingham) but ultimately went with Laderius and I’m so glad I did! They are worth it! Great communication, BIG LOVE for our pets, and making sure they enjoyed their “vacation.” Just overall good people. We will be back.”
About: I have had pets since I was 5 years old and with my degree and career background in veterinary medicine, best believe your pets will be safe and taken care of while also being treated like family. I’m available after 2:30pm everyday and my days are completely open on the weekends. If I need to stop by in the early morning, I can as well. Pets will be loved on, walked, fed, and receive intimate quality time. I have two needy dogs myself so I completely understand the anxiety that can come with pets being alone so I will make sure to make them feel safe and provided for.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12 and have grown up around animals my whole life! My family has 3 dogs and 3 cats, so you could say I grew up in a zoo haha. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, and I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’d love to treat your pets like my own! I am post grad so my schedule is very flexible/free and I can make anything work!!:) I’m also more than happy to help on the weekends !! I’m happy to visit your pet during the day and take them on walks/adventures, stay at your house with them and everything in between - I’m open to all!!
“10/10! This was our first time boarding with Jessica and our 2nd time using Rover. We are super pleased with the whole process. Jessica is very sweet and Bennet had a great time. We were updated with pictures everyday. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“My dogs had the BEST time with Lawden! I have two large Goldendoodles. One is old with cancer and the other is a wild puppy, but she took great care of both of them. She gave meds twice a day, fed twice a day, played with them, and sent a nightly update with pictures. I am so thankful that our dogs were well cared for. I highly recommend Lawden!”
“Alexandra was amazing with our dog Nala. This was longest we ever left her so we were a little nervous about her. But looking at the pictures/updates she sent everyday, we knew that our Nala was having the best time. She was also very accommodating about last minute extension due to our flight delay. We would highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again in future.”
About: I have diverse experience in animal care from my own pets, to neighbors and family members’ furry friends, and even professionally with wildlife. I am excited and honored to care for your family, both human and animal. I work sporting events freelance and am looking to add a little work on the side. I am free almost every weekday and most weekends. I do have an apartment most suitable for smaller dogs, however I have access to ample green space and neighborhoods to walk and play in. In your home, I will respect your space while keeping your furry friend in an environment they know.
“Kendall is the best! Not only was she able to keep up with my pup, but she always reached out with updates! I was never worried about my dogs safety & I would 100% use Kendall again!”
“Kristen was absolutely great with Brahm. She kept me updated on how he was doing and what he was doing. She sent lots of pictures and videos. This made me feel very comfortable that Brahm was being well cared for. Thank you Kristen.”
“Holly did an excellent job caring for my dog, from beginning to end! She made sure my pup was comfortable in her home and with her dog, and based on the interactions I saw in person and via video/photos, I have no doubt she treated my dog just like her own! She was super conscientious about removing toys my dog would likely chew/eat, and followed my "rules" about treats and food! It's evident she loves dogs and has experience caring for them, and that made it easy for me to leave my pup in her care!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Mountain Brook
Corlaeja did a wonderful job with my dog. She was very caring, attentive, and loving toward her, and my dog seemed to really like her as well! This was my first time leaving Lucy in the care of someone outside of my family or a professional pet care facility, and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. I really appreciated the pictures and updates throughout her stay, as well as the excellent communication from the time I requested the booking until it was time to pick her up. I highly recommend her!
Ms. Amy is truly a gem! She sent me updates and photos of my puppy and even gave him a bath. In the photos you could see that he was extremely comfortable and appeared to be right at home. I also overslept a bit after getting in late from my flight, which caused me to arrive a little later than my scheduled pick up time, and Ms. Amy didn’t mind. I would recommended her to anyone!
As a self-proclaimed helicopter dog mom, Bri was fantastic with my two girls (and their 6 bags of stuff I sent them with) for their first ever dog sitter experience. They were wagging their tails and had made themselves right at home in every picture and video I saw. Bri’s dog Bingo even got his first girlfriend: my dog Ella! After their 4 night stay, they came home exhausted and in such great spirits. I know the girls are looking forward to their next sleep over at Bri’s!
Great experience! Austin accepted our last minute request, took care of my large 13 year old with arthritis, and managed his food and meds with no issue. It seems like he got plenty of walks and came home happy and healthy. I would absolutely board with Austin again!
Milo had such a great time with La Timberly! 🐾 I could tell he was genuinely happy and comfortable the whole time. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated, and she was always super responsive whenever I checked in. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in such good hands. I’d absolutely trust her with Milo again!
Kendall was so attentive to Rosie! Rosie is a rescue who is afraid of the world around her, but Kendall took great care of her and never gave up when Rosie was unsure of her new surroundings, making her as comfortable as possible. I’m so appreciative of how sweet she was with Rosie and how she navigated her challenges, including trying to make sure our non-food-motivated dog ate regularly while we were gone. I would definitely book with Kendall again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Mountain Brook is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $59 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 339 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Mountain Brook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
97% of sitters in Mountain Brook 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 Mountain Brook home-away-from-home, 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 Mountain Brook.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Mountain Brook 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 , 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 .
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.
