“Brittany took great care of our pup, Waffles. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Waffles was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. Highly recommend and would absolutely trust them again!”
“Amber was a great dog sitter. She sent pictures and updates of Wrigley everyday and he came home happy and smelling fresh. I know he had a great time with Amber and loved playing with her dogs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Alyce has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs, Roxy and Chloe! She is caring, dependable, and clearly loves animals. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such great hands. Roxy and Chloe are always happy and well cared for, and I really appreciate the love and attention Alyce gives them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”
“Very good experience! Kim was very informative and kept Oscar engaged. She gave him plenty of love, care, and exercise throughout his stay with her. She gave me lots of photos and videos to keep me updated. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Sean and Dianna were great with Finn! He was a happy boy and was well cared for during his stay! Thank you for sending updates and pictures!

This is a great loving environment for your fury babies when your gone!!”
“Once again, Deborah was fantastic taking care of my fur-baby. She’s very attentive, caring, and flexible. She sends several updates during the stay and is quick to respond. Highly recommend! 5⭐️”
“Ms. Aram cared for my dog for 3 nights and 4 days and did a wonderful job, with lots of photos and updates. My dog usually comes home anxious after I’ve been away, but this time she settled right back in, calm and happy, like she’d been at a second home. I’ve finally found the perfect care for my dog. Highly recommend!”
“Monica managed Moki very well during his stay with her. She sent a couple of photos during the day and he was obviously coddled. He seemed happy and healthy when I picked him up, he had eaten, and been for a walk. Can't ask for much more.”
“Our Tali was taken amazing care of while we were on vacation! We were nervous about leaving her, as she is still a puppy - but we had nothing at all to worry about while we were gone! We received updates, videos, and pictures throughout our trip so we rested easy knowing Tali was being loved, cared for, and taken care of. She was kept on her schedule and given so much love and care. Honestly just above and beyond. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Erin and her family give my Larry, really good care. I tjink he looks at it as a vacation for himself. This ladt time, he came home with a lovely bandana...he didnt want to take it off but I take his collar off at night so I put the bandana next to him so he cohkd sleep with it. I get a pic of him almost every day. Lovely family Great dig knowledge”
“Kayla and family took really good care of Raylan and distracted him for the weekend. Accompanied by small companions of the dog and human kind. An experience he doesn't often get. Thank you Kayla.”
“Mimi took impeccable care of our Zsa Zsa! Tiny babies can be high maintenance and come with many needs but Mimi met them all with ease. We knew immediately Mimi was the best choice bc Zsa Zsa ran to her on drop off day just like a child runs to their favorite friend! We were delighted with pictures and updates throughout our vacation and that made it easy for us to fully enjoy our time away.”
About: As a dog mom myself I know it’s nerve wracking having to leave your fur baby in someone else’s care.. That’s why I make it priority to give every pet parent the same peace of mind I’d want for my own dogs. When your fur-baby is with me, they’re treated like one of my own. I know no two pets are alike, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. So whether they love to play, need extra enrichment, enjoy quiet companionship, or do better with structure, I’ll make sure they receive the individualized care they’re used to at home so they feel comfortable! I also love keeping pet parents involved, so you can expect lots of photos, videos, and updates throughout their stay or visit! Pet care is already a part of my everyday life. Outside of caring for client pets, you’ll usually find me spending time with my own dogs, going on walks and hikes, working on training, and socializing. Caring for animals isn’t just my job, it’s something I genuinely enjoy every single day. All pup’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and dogs enjoy plenty of supervised playtime, enrichment activities, toys, and opportunities to relax throughout the day. Every dog is different, so I do my best to match their energy level and personality, whether they love to play with friends or prefer a little 1-on-1 attention. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, meals and treats are enjoyed separately, followed by a quiet rest break in their own cozy crate. I use crates as a positive, comfortable space to relax after meals as downtime which helps support healthy digestion before everyone is back to playing and exploring together.
“Such a great experience with Fortune and her family caring for our dog. They almost spoiled him with the care and attention they provided. Could not ask for better a better stay and can highly recommend Fortune to all.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ryland
This is our second time booking Sydney to watch our baby Cooper while we go on vacation. She always keeps us updated on how our pup is doing. Cooper is hit or miss with most other dogs but gets along great with Sydney’s fur baby’s as well! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!
I’m so thankful for Rebecca’s help with Moxie. I had to arrange three weeks of care at the last minute, and she welcomed Moxie like it was no big deal. The updates showed Moxie lounging around and looking completely relaxed, exactly what she does when she feels safe and comfortable. Rebecca’s home is warm, calm, and clearly a place Moxie felt right at home. I’d trust her with Moxie anytime.
Aubrey and Anthony are absolutely fantastic pet sitters. I’ve used them several times now, and my lab, Moxie, was thrilled to see them again. It’s clear she remembers them and feels completely comfortable in their care. They kept me updated with plenty of photos, and I could see she was relaxed, happy, and having a great time. Their communication is always reliable, and they go above and beyond to make sure everything feels seamless. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters. Moxie will definitely be visiting again.
Our boy clearly had a great time with John and Joyce! We had to go out of town on very short notice and John was incredibly quick to respond and book Goose. They sent us pictures and kept us updated, I felt like Goose was very safe. Plus I know he has LOTS of playtime!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Ryland 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 Ryland.
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.
You and your Ryland 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.
