“Kaia was amazing. She watched our beagle for the day while we explored Auburn and went to a game. She was very flexible and accommodating with our timing and took great care of our pup. We will definitely reach out again when the time comes! Great experience.”
“We were looking for someone to make Spirit feel right at home. We feel like we accomplished that with Laura. She and Spirit hit it off right away. We plan on using her many more times in the future.”
“Leif and Dani were the best. They took very good care of our pup and kept us updated with photos throughout the stay. Very communicative. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a rover in the area!”
“Katherine did a fantastic job watching my 2 dogs! She is very consistent with timely replies and updates, complete with lots of pictures. My boys had an absolute blast and were well taken care of. I’m sure they can’t wait for their next “visit” ❤️”
About: I know every pet is different! I trained my own dog from puppyhood and treat every dog I care for with the same patience, love, and attention! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day! I only leave occasionally for work estimates, usually for just 1–2 hours, so your pet won't be left alone for long! Whether in my home or yours, I'll care for your pet like my own! I'll follow their routine, provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away!
“We needed someone to watch a very active 1.5yr old Brittany, and we are really picky about who watches our animals. Sandra was recommended and boarding with her and Mark was the best experience ever. Missy’s stay with them was literally a doggy vacation with a Giant yard to play in, long walks, huge professional kennel for her to lounge in, and, picture/video updates every day! They even have a TV in the temperature controlled kennel space so our girl could listen to tv like she is used to at our house. I look forward to using them again. They are a bit of a drive for me but I will use them every time over trying any of the 15 closer results rover showed me. It is well worth the peace of mind knowing that your dogs are being pampered not just boarded.”
“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Allison was absolutely amazing with my pup! My booking was super last minute and was 100% able to ease my worries about having a stranger watch my baby. She sent 2 pictues every day and communication was flawless. I'm absolutely going to be a returning customer and cannot express how much I reccomend her!”
“Annie and her family are great! I am so happy that I found them. Great communication and she sent the best pictures. It’s like Charlie became apart of their family. Highly recommend and Charlie will be back.”
“Mary Michelle was the absolute BEST! She sent multiple photo updates every day full of walks, snuggles, and playtime. I have a 5 month old puppy and was nervous about leaving her, but she was happy, calm, and brushed and clean when I picked her up!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Francois and Girbaud! From the moment we met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, nurturing spirit that immediately put the boys at ease. She went above and beyond every step of the way—sending adorable photo updates, keeping me informed, and making sure they were comfortable, entertained, and well cared for the entire time. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired—which to any dog parent means they had a great time! It’s clear she gave them plenty of exercise, play, and affection. Ms. Catherine treated them as if they were her own, and I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and reliability. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does, Ms. Catherine is the one. Francois, Girbaud, and I are so grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”
“Imani was amazing! Layla loved her and she took great care of her. I was nervous to leave her for 4 days for the first time but Imani's calm demeanor and sweet personality reassured me that Layla was in good hands. Highly recommended!”
“Allie was amazing! My little buddies were well taken care of, and that can be hard with three dogs with very different personalities. She took care to give updates and photos. I highly recommend”
About: Hello! My name is Anna Kate. I am a current student at Auburn University studying veterinary pharmacy and I work at Auburn’s veterinary hospital. I attended high school at Hewitt-Trussville High School and graduated with an Honors diploma, and then went on to graduated from Auburn with an undergrad in Biomedical Sciences! Throughout my life, I have loved spending time with animals, and I have a standard poodle named Sully, and a rescue pup named Winnie! My love for all animals has led me to helping others care for their pets! I have plenty of experience with a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, geckos, guinea pigs, frogs, and etc! I have also taken care of all life stages of animals from just a few days old to all the way to senior aged! In my free time during the summers, I also volunteer my time at the local animals shelters and have fostered both kittens and puppies through Care Humane Society! I’ve grown up around dogs all my life and try to provide the best care possible to ensure a happy and healthy life for them. I have some experience with cats and I am not afraid to handle and take care of them. I am willing to take care of any pet, and want to provide a great experience for both the owner and pet!
“Donald took excellent care of Rani while we were away. He shared updates frequently with photos which our family appreciated very much. He cares for our pet like they are his own. We can tell she was given a lot of love. We have already rebooked Donald for Rani for her next stay, that should say it! Thank you, Donald.”

Stacy agreed to keep our 2 dogs at the last minute and provided a fun environment for them (and several others) to spend a long weekend. She kept us informed of our younger dog's misbehavior and was very gracious about it. She provided plenty of updates, photos, and videos and was very flexible with drop off/pick up times. Thank you, Stacy! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We left out pitbull pup with her. She took excellent care, and just treated her like her own dog. Nila also got along really well with her two dogs and they played a ton! She is such a happy pup now and seems to have had an amazing vacation. There was tons of playtime and quality time. Audrey also sent me tons of updates and I was very relaxed knowing my pup was in such good hands. I would highly recommend Audrey and I will continue to trust her with my pups 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Opelika on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 245 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Opelika. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Opelika sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Opelika landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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.
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.
