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!
“Kayla is the best. She showed patience and understanding for my furbaby whom never stayed with anyone before. He received lots of love and got a chance to have a play date.”
“We had a friend cancel on us the very last minute before a week trip to Michigan. Andrea not only took Mikey for the week. We got pictures and updates every day. This is the second time we have used her. I would never trust another person with my dog. Excellent care.”
“Jennifer is a very loving and conscientious sitter. She provided daily updates and responded promptly to all questions and requests! The dogs really enjoyed their vacation!”
About: What sets me apart is how intentional I am with each pet. I pay attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort level so they feel safe, not just watched. I’m patient with puppies and can help reinforce routines like potty training and basic commands. I’m also gentle and attentive with senior pets, making sure they’re comfortable and cared for at their pace. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I keep communication clear so you always know your pet is in good hands! Pet care fits well into my routine since I’m home part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my days so pets get consistent attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. When I’m home, I’m present and attentive, and I make sure any time away is planned around the pet’s needs so their routine stays consistent. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and cared for, not rushed. I have an open yard and leave near the marina. I’m happy to take them to the beach! They love to play in that area.
“Kara provided an excellent stay for my boys. They loved staying with her and her pups. She responded very quickly and provided daily photos. One of my boys have epilepsy and she made sure to administer his medication twice a day and send me updates after giving it to him. I will definitely be booking with Kara again😊😊.”
About: I’ve had a variety of animals growing up. There was never a time in my household where i did not have a pet. I am great with animals, they seem to love me as much as I do them! I attend Auburn university. I usually have 1-3 classes a day, but I am done by 12pm. I am available between 12-6! What better way to spend my free time! I have a strong love for animals. I am very passionate about them. If i were to watch your fur baby, I would play with them, make sure they eat well, take them out for fresh air! I even turn on cartoons that they can see the colors with!
“We left Merlin with Jenny for a long weekend. Jenny gave us updates on Merlin the whole weekend, and Merlin looked like she had a blast going on walks and playing in Jenny’s fenced yard. We would definitely recommend her if you need a sitter.”
“Maddie was amazing! I got updates and pictures during my dog’s stay. She was attentive to his needs and worked with him to make sure he was comfortable throughout his stay”
“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!”
About: Here to make sure your 4 legged family feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I work Monday–Friday, but my schedule can be flexible at times. If you need pet care but aren’t sure whether my schedule will fit your needs, feel free to message me! I’m always happy to help whenever I’m able. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups. I crate trained both of my dogs while they were potty training, so I also have a large crate available if that fits your pet’s needs.
“Carter accommodated our last minute request and had the perfect set up for our dog. They were responsive and seemed to treat our dog as their own. We look forward to having him and his wife help us in the future!”
About: I’ve been around family dogs and cats my whole life, and caring for animals has always brought me joy. In my free time, I’ve fostered puppies and kittens from the local shelter, so I’m very comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. When a pet is entrusted to me, I truly treat them as my own! I want them to feel comfortable and at home even while you’re away. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet will get my full attention and 1-on-1 care. I’m also big on communication — I know it could be a little nerve-racking to entrust a pet to a stranger, so I love to send occasional photo and video updates to keep you reassured and in the loop. As a non-student, I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to work with your pet’s usual routine. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both you and your pet(s)! I work full-time with a one-hour midday break, so I’m able to care for pets in the mornings, during lunch, and in the evenings. I’m also available most weekends and holidays since I live locally and have a flexible schedule. I can care for pets in my home or yours—whatever makes them most comfortable! My home is pet-free and traffic-free, so they will get my full attention. I’m happy to crate dogs if needed or let them roam freely in a calm, safe space. If a pet would be happier at your home, I’m happy to visit for check-ins or overnights, following your pet’s usual routine and preferences. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible with a new person, so I can adapt to whatever would make them most comfortable and happy!
“Alona is absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and detailed. She communicates well with updates and she really put my mind at ease when I needed a dog sitter in a clutch. My 🐕 was so happy when I picked him up that he didn’t want to leave 😃 I will definitely call her to dog sit again. Thanks Alona!!!”
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”
“Loved loved loved Lexie ! She was sure to keep me updated on my baby throughout my whole vacation. There was never a time where I had to worry if he was safe and in good hands because Lexie is sooo pure ! And she is a GREAT photographer Lol , Everyday I woke up with beautiful picture's of Chapo 10/10 highly recommended 🩷🤗”

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.
Stacy was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dog was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Coming home to a happy, relaxed dog says everything about the care Stacy provided. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter, and we will definitely be asking her to watch our dog again!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Opelika on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 230 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Opelika. About 93% of Opelika sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
