“Would leave 10 stars if I could! Julie is the best and her place is the perfect! My dog is always safe, all kinds of room to run and play, and Rooster always comes home happy and exhausted! In the best way!”
“Jennifer & her family have been amazing with looking after our girl Yara, and making her feel right at home in their house. She has been flexible with drop off & pick up times, and also keeping us well informed with pics and videos. She has also been accommodating to our dog’s particular behavior needs (food aggression) and adjusted so everyone stays safe and comfortable! We already have more dates on the calendar with her and will be booking more!”
“We could not be more happy with our puppy's stay with Heather!! She kept us up to date with pictures and messages the whole time Ivy was in her care and treated her as if she was her own dog! Very flexible with drop off and pick up which was extremely helpful to us as we were traveling and our plans changed a little bit. I could not imagine a better experience!”
“We are so thankful for Beverly. She had Bella for one week while my husband and I went on vacation. We were completely at ease after meeting Beverly. We were able to enjoy our vacation while knowing Bella was in great care. We received pics and videos everyday which gave us so much peace. Thank you so much Beverly! I highly recommend Beverly and will definitely use her again.”
“I appreciate all the pictures of Hazel having a blast at Jerry’s house. I especially appreciate her being able to socialize with other dogs there. I know she loves that.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of my own in the past, and keeping my daughter's dogs when she is traveling. I enjoy caring for smaller dogs. I am retired, and enjoy taking care of dogs and spending time with dogs. Pet care is ideal for me. I have lots of time to give to the dogs. I have no pets of my own, a fenced yard, and often take care of my daughters dogs when she is traveling. I have had several cocker spaniel dogs over the years.
“Anniyah was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Hexton! From start to finish, she was incredibly communicative with me, providing regular updates that kept my mind completely at ease while I was away. It is so clear how much Hexton loves her, and she took such wonderful care of him. I highly recommend booking Anniyah if you want top-tier care for your pet. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I live in Whitehouse with my husband Casey and our 2 little dogs Parker and Wally. We both work from home full time, which leaves us with plenty of availability to have dog friends come stay with us! We go walking regularly, have a secure yard, and our house is very dog friendly. Both my husband and I work from home full time, so we are home all day long. We are able to accommodate regular potty breaks in our large fenced backyard, and typically do walks in the morning or evening. I have lived in Whitehouse my entire life and am very familiar with the surrounding neighborhoods. I am very careful with my own dog (never unleashed, supervised backyard time) and will do the same with others pets. We treat our dogs and other dogs like family, ensuring the dogs are comfortable and safe when at our home.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am now available for boarding at my home so feel free to look into that as well!! I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.
About: I've been around many different types of dogs my entire life. I've had Boxers, English Bulldogs, Corgis, Aussies, Maltese, and currently a Golden Retriever! With all that experience I know the health and exercise requirements of many breeds. Tucker, my Golden Retriever, is in perfect health and maintains perfect weight for his large size. I care for my dogs as if they are my child and promise to do the same with yours. I currently work from home. Tucker, my Golden Retriever, is home with me all day and gets his needed attention plus some that he probably doesn’t want. Tucker roams free all day and plays outside. He is an extremely sweet 16 month old Golden Retriever that has lots of energy and loves to play. If your dog loves to play, he will be Tucker's best friend.
About: My husband and I are dog lovers, and we have a friendly and sweet Cane Corso and English Bulldog mix named "Homie." He is 9 years old and gets along well with other dogs. Since we both work from home and have plenty of downtime, I can take your dog for walks, play with them, while you're at work or on a short vacation. We have a good-sized backyard and are very particular about what we feed our dog. We take Homie to the park four times a week, and on the other days, we enjoy neighborhood walks. I work from home, and my schedule is very flexible. I like to stay active by walking my dog four times a week, playing with him, running errands, baking, and selling. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your dog can run and play. The yard is also equipped with live feed cameras at both the front and back for added security.hing you would like me to do to ensure better care for your furry friend while you are away, ple If there's anytase let me know.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 99 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 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.
96% 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.
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 TX 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.
