“If I could leave 10 out of 5 stars I would! Amanda was wonderful and we could not have asked for a better experience. Besides being kind, gentle, and thoughtful, she was very caring and gave our dog lots of attention. We had multiple pictures and videos, which were so nice. She took Oliver on walks every day, not down the street, but to a park every day. She also fed him home cooked chicken (with my approval) to try to get him to eat (picky eater!). I know Oliver had a great time and it was so nice not worrying about our little boy! We will definitely use her again! Thank you Amanda!”

“Jordyn is the best. She gave us daily updates and was awesome with communication. In the past I took my dogs to a local dog boarding/daycare place and the dogs always seemed a little frazzled and anxious when I picked them up, but with Jordyn they were very happy and relaxed when they came back home and clearly well taken care of. I’ll be reaching out to her again for future bookings and highly recommend her to anyone.”

Danielle kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Chyna came back happy, well-rested, and clearly loved on the entire time. Danielle treated her like family, and I’m beyond grateful for the safe, clean, and nurturing environment she provided. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals—Danielle is it! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. 🐾💕”

My boy—who is a brat—looked happy and healthy in every photograph she sent (and she sent regular photographs). And, of course, he came back to me the same way I left him. I will definitely look to rebook with her the next time there is an opportunity. Thanks again!”

I would totally trust them again with him. It makes it more enjoyable for him that they have their own dogs as well. I know he enjoyed playing with them.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for over 20 years, and I absolutely love having them around! 🐾 I’ve had four dogs who were with me from puppyhood through their golden years, so I know just how much our furry family members mean to us. These days, I’m a proud dog mom to Cash, our Corgi, who is VERY excited to make new doggy friends! 🥰 I’m also an honorary aunt to a Golden Retriever, so you could say our family has a soft spot for four-legged guests. Your pup will be treated like family while they’re here. ❤️ My home is a place where dogs can relax, play, get lots of attention, and feel loved while their humans are away. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them a fun little vacation of their own! 🐶🏡💕 Since I work from home, I’m able to be home with your pup for most of the day! 🐶💕 I have a flexible schedule, so I can accommodate regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My home is always busy with love, and belly rubs! 🐾🏡 Your pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐶❤️ I have a securely fenced section of the yard where pups can safely enjoy some fresh air, sniff around, and get their zoomies out. I also regularly treat our home and yard for common pests to help keep our furry guests comfortable and protected. Inside, I’m happy to follow your pup’s usual routine—whether they prefer to relax and free-roam with us or have some quiet time in their kennel. I’ll follow your instructions and your pup’s needs to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while they’re staying with us. 🏡🐾

Katie is always sweet and loving to my Angel, as is her family, too. She is good at keeping me informed of how Angel is doing with messages and photos. Angel got scared of the thunder and Katie & family were comforting to her.

I travel a good bit for work and fun. So naturally I want to ensure that my little buddy Duke is well taken care of in my absence. We have enjoyed some really great sitters in the several years that we’ve been a part of the Rover community. But hands down Kayla B. was by far THEE best sitter we have ever experienced in 12 years of being a dog mom. Her genuine care, love, and concern for animals is exceptional. Her communication was wonderful and quick. Thanks to Kayla, I even have a picture collage of Duke for keepsake. She went above and beyond to check his tongue when I thought I saw a rash in a picture. This was the first time my dog was torn when it was time to come home. I could tell he missed Kayla and her family instantly. She is our forever sitter as long as she’s doing this.

★★★★★ Absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Hampton and Willow, and I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She went above and beyond when I unexpectedly got a flat tire and even brought the dogs home to me so I didn’t have to worry about getting them. That meant so much to me! She was kind, dependable, communicative, and truly treated my dogs like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies! 🐾❤️

Carli is very sweet and accommodating to your needs! This was our first time using Rover and had a terrific experience. She checked in multiple times throughout the day with updates and pictures of our girls. She has a wonderful demeanor and attitude for pet sitting and followed instructions clearly, even accommodating to changes. We will absolutely be using her in the future!

Alex and her family were absolutely incredible and I cannot begin to thank them enough. Our regular sitter cancelled on us last minute and we needed to find someone ASAP to watch our two boys for 8 nights over Christmas. Not only was Alex available on such short notice, but she invited me and the dogs to come visit her before our stay which completely reassured me and helped alleviate my fears that the dogs would be somewhere new for such a long stay. She sent pictures and videos every day and was wonderful to communicate with. It was so nice knowing my dogs were being loved on and taken care. Thank you SO much Alex!! ❤️🥰

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Pelham

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Pelham on Rover is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $50 per night. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 329 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pelham. 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 Pelham 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 Pelham 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 Pelham.

<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 Pelham 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.
