“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!”
“Heather is amazing! Super welcoming and friendly. She was really prompt responding before and during the sitting. We got pictures without having to ask and our pup was obviously well taken care of. She’s highly qualified, would definitely use her services anytime and highly recommend!”
“Kara took such great care of our dogs! She took us very last minute and was very accommodating! She offered pick up and drop off as well as grooming and bathing for both which I am extremely grateful for! The doggies came back happy, smelling good, looking fresh and well cared for! Definitely recommend and will be booking again!”
“Kerri and Chris were amazing to my Lenoxx. They kept me up to date with pictures, videos, and his progress on settling in. He loved their backyard and playing with their baby Echo. Lenoxx has a new playmate. I would highly recommend this sitter and look forward to using them again in the future 🫶🏾☺️.”
“Megan and her family were great! My 3yr old husky had never been boarded before so he surprisingly took a day or two to warm up. Megan was patient, kept us updated, and worked with us when our return drive took longer than expected. Can't thank her enough and would certainly recommend to others in need of a loving pup sitter.”
“This is our second time to use Donald. Our Maggie loves Donald and loves staying with him. He sent lots of pictures and was quick to respond to any questions I had. 😀🐕”
“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.”
“Matt did a fantastic job with our pets. Not only did he send daily pictures, he provided detailed description of their behavior. His experience as a dog trainer gave new insight and he even provided tips on how I can work with them on my own. His property is amazing and has plenty of space for the dogs to run, conveniently located in North Columbus. Highly recommend and will book again!”
“Kaia and Desean did a great job taking care of Chewie! He had a lot of fun playing with their dogs and looked like he got spoiled with attention. We would be happy to have him stay there again.”
“Brian and Sue are still wonderful and Maggie loves them! She took to them immediately! We were so comfortable and confident that Maggie would be well loved and cared for, and she was! We’ve already booked Brian for another 4-day stay.”
“This was the perfect family to watch our dogs! The family I can trust. They are responsible, kind and helpful. I wasn‘t worried about my fur babies at all. And looks like our dogs loved to stay with them too. Even my little chihuahua didn‘t lose any weight(he always stops eating or eats very little when I am not with him). Also, Nikki was sending photos of dogs everyday and they looked so relaxed 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!!!”
“As a repeat customer, Lexie is the absolute best. She provided daily updates and clear communication. I know she takes the best care of my pup because he didn’t want to leave at the end of the stay. Will absolutely keep booking her in the future!!”
“Gloria is a great sitter. She has a nice back yard with doggy door and is very responsive. She was able to accommodate all of my dog’s needs and sent me updates. Highly recommend!”

Alex and her husband were awesome from when we did a meet and greet, to dropping off and picking up Tobias. My wife and I were really nervous about leaving our 'son' with another family for a few days, but Alex updated us daily which included pictures! Tobias looked extremely comfortable and well taken care of the day we picked him up! My wife and I would not hesitate to rebook with her and we highly recommend having her watch your fur babies!
Could not recommend her enough! Claudia was communicative, updated me on how my pup was doing multiple times throughout the day, sent me many pics/vids showing me he was having a great time. And when I picked him up, he was a tired HAPPY pup. I will certainly be booking again!
Heather was absolutely amazing! We boarded our dog with her while we were out of town and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was communicative, caring, and treated our pup like her own. We came home to one happy dog and will definitely be booking with Heather again!
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!!!
Barkley loves spending time with Meredith, Darren and Koda! The home is super clean, the backyard is a hit for Barkley to be able to run around with Koda and photos are send daily of Barkley's time there. I feel 100% comfortable with Barkley in their care when we are away.

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 Phenix City 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 Phenix City 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 Phenix City.
<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 Phenix City 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.
