“Extremely pleased! Our first time using Rover has been a very positive experience because of Jennifer and her loving family. We definitely plan to use Jennifer again.”
“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!”

About: Hello, pet parents! I'm a stay at home mom with plenty of time, space, and love to give to your furry friend will be in great hands with me all day long. I share my home with four wonderful dogs: Ragnar, a 3 year old Doberman mix we adopted from EPAS, Puppy a 4 year old Chihuahua, Lady a sweet 11 year old Chihuahua, and Lagertha a spunky 1 year old Doberman that we also adopted from EPAS. Animals have always been a part of my life. I come from a large family with farm roots, so I’ve been surrounded by dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals since childhood. Caring for them comes naturally to me. We have a secure, fenced-in yard for safe outdoor playtime and I’m happy to take your pup on daily walks to keep them happy and healthy. I also understand how tough it can be to be away from your pet, so I’m more than happy to send daily updates, photos, and videos to give you peace of mind while you're away. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home all day to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Walks, feedings, and cuddles are part of our daily routine In my home, pets are treated like family. I offer a safe, clean environment with a fenced yard for play, daily walks, and plenty of love. I follow any routines, diets, or special instructions you provide, and I’m happy to send regular updates.
“Samantha was great communicating with me! During a very difficult week, I was comfortable in knowing my puppy was well cared for. Cooper had so much fun playing and being loved on while we were gone for so long!”
“Selena was absolutely amazing from the moment I dropped my dog off until I picked her up. I felt completely reassured being away from her because Selena sent me regular updates throughout the day. She shared pictures of my dog eating, playing, and even sleeping, which made me feel so at ease. I would 100% book her again my dog had such an incredible time!”
“I needed to find someone to host my puppy and had two days to do so. Trisha answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The pictures she sent of my puppy were adorable!!! We will definitely be using her services again!!! She’s the shiiiiii****!!!!”
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.
“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.”
About: I have dedicated my whole life to the study of animal behavior and caring for them to the best of my ability. I have worked various jobs and owned various types of pets of my own, and strongly pride myself in my ability to go beyond the bare minimum for the animals in my care. My experience and Capabilities.. - I am certified in animal first Aid & CPR - Along with my first Aid training, I received extensive training in the handling of behaviorally complicated dogs & cats, and handling dogs and cats with medical challenges such as seniors, epilepsy, diabetes, etc. I am comfortable with offering medication to even more difficult pets. - experience rescuing and caring for dogs and cats of all ages. - versatile knowledge in different breeds, handling show dogs, grooming dogs, etc. - ample experience at professional boarding facilities, monitoring and caring for up to 180 dogs and many cats during the holiday season at the facility. - advanced knowledge in dog body language, training, and general care. - All-in-all, my goal is to be the kind of person you can trust to go above and beyond for your pets. I refuse to settle for the bare minimum, and I know it's hard to trust just anyone to care for your pets the way you do. I strive to be that reliable for each and every one of my clients. I have ample free time, and find myself at my best spending all of it keeping myself busy with the animals in my care. Otherwise, I do not stay busy. I have never enjoyed anything more. I have a fenced in yard, and never leave dogs unsupervised outside even for a moment. My house is large and spacious, meaning any other animals in my care can be separated and cared for adequately individually as needed. Pets are cared for adequately based on their individual needs. I do not settle for the bare minimum, your pet will be happy, comfortable and thriving in my care. I provide daily updates and pictures!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Phenix City
Andrea was a fantastic caregiver for our dog, Titan. She went above and beyond to make sure our sweet boy was comfortable and well cared for. Titan is a big dog, but he’s very shy and experiences some separation anxiety when he’s away from us. Andrea was incredibly patient and did a wonderful job helping him feel calm and comfortable. She walked him every day and sent us the best photos and updates. Her detailed updates gave us so much peace of mind and reassured us that Titan was in great hands. I would absolutely book with Andrea again without hesitation. She truly is the best, and we’re so grateful for the wonderful care she gave Titan!
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!!!

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.
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, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Phenix City. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
