Dog Boarding in Pleasant Grove, AL

“Rachel is a godsend!! I’ve never had a good experience with boarding (dog owner for over 15 years), and I am SO THANKFUL to have found someone that cares for my boy the way I do. He had the best time and has done nothing but sleep since we got home!”

Kelsea N.

“She was absolutely amazing!! She spoiled our pup!! Definitely will be who we use every time if she is available! She is really great!!”

“This was my first time ever boarding Benny anywhere and he had a blast with Brittney! I had a bit of anxiety but Brittney stayed in contact with me and sent photos throughout the duration of trip!”

“Wade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!”

Kyle O.

“We had a wonderful experience boarding our dogs here. She was very thoughtful in the meet and greet experience making sure her and our dogs were comfortable, didn't board too many at a time in her home, and was communicative. We appreciated having somewhere to leave them over the holidays where we knew they would get snuggles and attention, and even with our old fella having a little health issue, she was very attentive and kind about it. We felt comfortable leaving Luna and Dax, and they would love to stay with Rebecca again!”

Leigh H.

“Shelby is great. We have used her multiple times for our dog Pepper and she always ensures she is well taken care of. She sends daily updates and we always return to a happy healthy pup.”

Nick & Virginia L.

“Took great care of our sweet elderly pup… and was even able to provide care last minute, cause another caregiver canceled. Very pleased, should have used Kayte from the beginning! Nice family home, with friendly pet environment. Now I definitely know who to use! ❤️?”

Nancy M.

“Westyn went above and beyond to take care of our puppy! He sent us pictures and videos everyday and made sure to communicate with us. We had to do a later pick up than expected and he was super flexible with us. We will definitely be using Westyn next time we need a sitter for our Winnie!”

Jacob D.

“Doug did an amazing job with our puppy. He was very gentle and kind with her. It was our first time using Rover and first time leaving her for the weekend and I can honestly say I didn’t worry a bit. Highly recommend Doug and hope to use his services again.”

“Jonathan and his family were great! We will definitely be requesting them as a new regular. Very friendly, helped us out and allowed us to extend our boarding for an additional night at last minute, sent updates and pictures, and made sure our dog had plenty of exercise!”

“Libby was so wonderful. Our dog is so timid with everyone and I love how much care and attention she was given. I also loved the pictures and updates. My family will be using her again.”

“We cannot express enough gratitude for Ryan and his wonderful family for taking care of our beloved dog, Lola, during our recent family trip. From the moment we met them, we knew Lola was in the best hands. Ryan and his family were incredibly thoughtful, caring, and gentle with her, treating Lola as if she were their own. Lola can be quite shy and anxious around new people, but under their loving care, she felt safe and happy. Ryan's attentiveness and the warmth of his family truly shone through, making Lola's time away from us comfortable and stress-free. The updates and pictures they sent showed us just how much love and attention Lola was receiving, and it brought us immense peace of mind. We are deeply touched by the kindness and compassion Ryan and his family showed Lola. They went above and beyond to ensure she felt loved and secure. It's not easy to leave a cherished pet behind, but knowing Lola was with such amazing people made all the difference. We are forever grateful for their exceptional care and the genuine love they shared with our sweet girl. Thank you, Ryan, for being such a wonderful caretaker. Your kindness will always be remembered.”

“Finn loves Barrie so much! When we pull up to her house, he starts getting so excited and vocal. By the time we get out of the car, he is galloping up to her front door to see her. I know he has the best time every time to he visits!”

Lauren G.

“I am a first-time Rover user. I reached out to Kimberley on the Friday before I was to leave on a Wednesday trip - so SUPER late. She responded immediately and was very open to a meet-and-greet between our fur children the next day. She was extremely warm and inviting to my baby and me. Our drop-off on the day of the trip was quick and easy, and we received photos and updates while we were away. Kimberley and her family not only love dogs but are also good with them. Kimberley is very communicative, professional, and kind. My baby, Verona, really enjoyed making new friends with her dogs and family. I will definitely be reaching out to Kimberley again to assist with my dog-watching needs, and I would highly recommend her to others.”

Melanie P.

“Lauren was so attentive and passionate about my furbabies needs. She frequently sent updates and pictures. They were always smiling and being pampered. They are definitely going to visit Lauren and Cooper again.”

“Jessica was great! We got pictures every day and a video too! We could tell she made our old girl comfortable and happy in a new environment. She also has a one level house with no stairs to the backyard which is great for dogs with arthritis. We will definitely use her again next time we go out of town!”
