“A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Andrea & family were incredible. First time leaving my fur baby with someone other than family. Certainly I was a bit nervous. I chose Andrea based on her reviews and genuine smile on the profile. She lived up to expectation and the reviews. Daily photo and updates were provided without request. She even bathe my boy, sent him home so fresh and so clean. I am certain I will be booking in the future, Thank you again for your warmth and care for Pooh! :-)”
“Our experience with Kayla was wonderful. Teddy was well loved and cared for. He was happy and playful. Kayla sent updates and photos daily. I would highly recommend her services and looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Christina was a fantastic sitter for our large dog. We were confident our dog had a fun staycation with plenty of playtime, pets, and attention while in Christina’s care. She sent us updates and cute pictures of our dog having a great time. Book with Christina. We definitely will be again! Thank you”
About: Taken care of all animals different pieces and sizes! I live to go on runs so if your doggo needs some energy expenditure I can make that happen run usually span from 2 miles up to 13miles! My doggies run every other day and go to the dog park every day in between! Very quiet household! So if you need your doggies tired just let me know! Live in a large apartment so there is plenty of space for them to play but pets are taken out for runs and dog park pretty much every day.
“Nikki was great! We were in a pinch and needed a dog sitter last minute, and she truly saved us. She responded quickly, was flexible, and made the whole process stress free. Our pups was well cared for, happy, and when we returned. We’re so grateful for her help and will absolutely use her again!”
“Brian and Sue are like Maggie’s adoptive parents! Maggie’s loves them and was clearly sad to leave after a 4-night stay! Can’t say enough about how happy we are to have them to watch Maggie when we can’t take her with us!”
“My pup stayed with Tyila and her family while I went on vacation. The drop off and pick up was smooth. Communication was wonderful. Polly has stayed here a number of times and I know she is well cared for and loved when she visits. Highly recommend this sitter. We will visit again soon.”
“Second time bringing the dogs over and my experience with Awy and Stephanie definitely didn’t disappoint. She constantly send videos and pictures. What I love most is that she’s very special and caring with them. It’s like caring for them myself.”
“Destiny did great with our boy! He seemed really happy in all the pictures we were sent and she said he did great for her! We were really pleased with her service!”
“Booking with William and his family was a great experience. My two dogs enjoyed every second of the open space to run, play and explore. I received daily pictures and videos. I would definitely book with this family again.”
“Nicole did an amazing job watching Mocha while we were traveling out of state. It was the first time both my husband and I would be away from her for longer than a day and we certainly had some worries. Nicole eased all our concerns and treated mocha like she was one of her own pups from the second she met her. Nicole kept us updated daily on how Mocha was doing which certainly comforted my dog mom heart. I HIGHLY recommend Nicole to everyone! She knows what she’s doing and gives unlimited amounts of love to your fur babies when you can’t be there to do it yourself”
“Mikayla was wonderful. She was very professional. She was always timely in her response and made sure to update with commentary & pictures on how my baby was doing! She was also very flexible and willing to compromise to the best of her ability. I will definitely be a returning customer. If you’re wanting someone who will treat your fur baby like their own, without any worries or concerns, Mikayla is the person you’re looking for. 10/10 would recommend ✨”
“Christy was able to take my booking last minute and I'm so appreciative. She and her family were great with my 10 year old Glizzy. She sent me pictures several times a day and Glizzy appeared to be very content at their house. Glizzy got lots of love from Christy and her family. Will definitely use again and I recommend Christy to anyone needing a sitter for their fur baby.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leif & Dani were wonderful with our pup, Bruzer! They sent updates and pictures every day and kept us in the loop throughout his stay. That gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. We really appreciated their care and communication and would happily book with them again (and already have booked them for December). Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Phenix City
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!
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!!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Phenix City is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $48 per night.

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.
98% 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
