“Katie is an amazing pet sitter. She was so attentive, kind and interactive with my dog. My dog had great walks and fun playing with her dog. I will use her services in the future.”
“Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Carter was awesome! I was very nervous about leaving my young puppy with someone new, but I knew the socialization opportunities would be invaluable. He took her to a farm, she got to interact with other dogs, and he even took her on errands in the car with him! I really appreciated the updates and pictures as well!”
“I was so happy that I chose Annie for my lab’s stay. Her kids enjoyed fetching and I got video updates throughout the weekend. They also live in a nice neighborhood with a big backyard. If anyone is in need of pet sitting this is a great place and your dog will get excellent care!”
“Kimmey is absolutely amazing! I was nervous with this being my first time away from my dog, but Kimmey made it easy to enjoy my time away with family knowing that my dog was receiving the best care. She frequently sent updates on how my dog was doing and took care to pay attention to my dog's individual enrichment interests and needs. My dog had a blast and she misses Kimmey and her wonderful family already! I highly recommend booking with her!”
“We feel like Laura and Spirit have become pals. Laura treats her like her furry roommate. We plan to leave Spirit with her anytime that it works out. She has a true love for and knowledge of dogs, that is very obvious in talking to her. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Audrey was absolutely wonderful! She sent us updates and pictures every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog clearly had a great time, he played every day, seemed completely comfortable, and was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. In the past, he has sometimes seemed nervous or skittish after staying with other sitters, but that was not the case at all with Audrey. We could tell he felt safe, well cared for, and genuinely enjoyed his stay. We were extremely satisfied with the care she provided and would gladly recommend Audrey to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We will definitely use her again!”
“I had a great experience with Dominik boarding my two dogs. What stood out the most was that he was willing to take them in at the last minute, which helped me out tremendously and truly meant a lot. From the beginning, Dominik was professional, responsive, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. You can tell he genuinely cares about animals and wants to make sure they feel comfortable. My dogs were well taken care of, and I appreciated knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Finding someone dependable to trust with your pets is not always easy, but I would absolutely recommend Dominik to anyone looking for reliable and caring boarding services.”
“Allison always takes such incredible care of our dog, Callie! She sends us updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay and is quick to respond. Callie has the best time with Allison and we always feel so at ease leaving Callie with her!”
“Rebecca was awesome!! First time using rover and was fortunate to find the best sitter in our area. Rebecca has great communication and I can tell Bruno had a great time and was well cared for.”
About: I’ve taken care and been around all animals since High school and I’m a certified vet assistant for going on 5 years now and I’m fear free certified. I’ve just received my Master’s of Science in Veterinary Science. Update as of August 8th, 2026. I currently work full time at Banfield Pet Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant. My schedule varies you are more than welcome to text me for availability. I will be updating weekly as my work schedule permits I work 8am-4pm or 7am-4pm on some shifts. Thank You! Look forward to being with your babies🫶🏾🥰🐶🐈 I will make sure your lovely fur baby will be well taken care of, played with, and taken to the potty and walked each day I’m around.
“Our dog LOVED her time with Sandra and Mark. She normally takes a little time to warm up to new people and things, but she was instantly at home with them. She loved running around their yard and sitting in a little pool and sun tent that they offered her. They had excellent communication and sent us so many pictures. It’s so reassuring knowing your pup is in good hands when you’re away from them. We’d recommend them to anyone and would love to use them again in the future!”
“Korol was an amazing sitter for our senior dog. She walked and played with our dog every day and it was clear that she gave our girl lots of love. It was the first time our dog seemed to really enjoy staying with a sitter. 5 stars!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had a cat who was part of my family for 16 years, which taught me a lot about caring for an older pet with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I currently continue to care for dogs and cats, including my friends’ pets and my sister’s cat. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and following each pet’s specific routine and instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe and comfortable. I’m responsible, attentive, and respectful of both pets and their homes. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or older, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pets. I can fit pet care, walks, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine while making sure each pet receives consistent and personalized care. My apartment is quite spacious, with three floors, giving pets plenty of room to feel comfortable and move around. My complex also has a designated dog park, which is great for walks, playtime, and exercise. I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment and always follow each pet’s routine and specific needs.

Samantha was amazing and so easy to work with! She responded so quickly to my messages and was always kind! Our Ellie (golden retriever) had the best time playing with Samantha’s golden Blair. We definitely recommend Samantha and look forward to booking with her in the future.
Our dog Spirit loves to stay with Laura. She goes right into the house and right to the room that has all the toys and starts bringing them out one at a time to show them to us. Laura is wonderful with her administering medication‘s taking her on walks and entertaining her by playing. We sometimes think Spirit may like to be with Laura more than she likes to be at home. We would highly recommend her to care for your dog or cat.

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.
100% of sitters in Opelika 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 Opelika 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 Opelika.
<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 Opelika 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.
