“Cassie was awesome! I was very nervous about leaving my two little dogs with anyone, and I’m so happy I took the chance with Rover and chose Cassie. She took great care of them, sent me updates and pictures, and kept in contact with me. I will absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur baby!”
“Knight thoroughly enjoyed his first nights away from home with Jamie. He took several days for his energy to return after a play filled weekend with Dunkel ?. Jamie sent picture updates daily and responded practically immediately whenever I had questions/concerns. We will definitely place Knight with Jamie for future needs. Thanks Jamie!!”
“My dog was a bit nervous at first when meeting her dogs, but they soon relaxed and enjoying playing in the yard together. I’m happy that my pup had the chance to cuddle and have some high speed zoomies while I was away!”
“EXCELLENT CARE...took Sophie for greet n meet Wednesday before Monday dropoff. Lorraine introduced her to her welcome dog n then slowly to the rest of pack. Lorraine noticed blood in her urine and recommended us to a vet close by who examined her n did xrays finding a quarter sized stone in bladder...surgery next day (Thursay). Lorraine agreed to still take her while recuperating ...gave Sophie her medicine watching over her to include taking her back to get for checkup. Lorraine sent daily updates n pics... if I could give her a 10 I would do so. Lorraine is great...”
“Peyton was absolutely amazing! Gave check ins and was super responsive to all of my messages. I highly recommend her for anyone needing to board and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Amazing person to leave your doggie with! She is super friendly and nice and gives more pictures and videos while you are away more than any other rover host. I will recommend her to everyone I know!”
“Annie was great. We met her before Teddie’s stay, and she showed us around the house and property. She wanted to make sure Teddie was comfortable and knew her surroundings. She was great with communicating while we were out of town. She sent pictures and several updates each day.”
“Kelsey and her family provided safe and loving home for my two cats during my travel. She sent frequent updates with pictures. Her kids are wonderful with animals. One of the pictures shows Kelsey's little daughter gently petting and kissing my cat. It is so beautiful that I'm going to frame it.”
“Sidney takes such good care of Charlie, it gives us peace of mind. He gets plenty of outdoor time in her big back yard and he enjoys the company of her dog. We will definitely check with her first the next time we have to board Charlie!”
“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!”
“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”
“Kristy was amazing! This was our first time using her but will definitely rebook with her when needed! I ended up running late on our drop off time & she was so understanding & accommodating. She sent me lots of pictures & videos, Ollie had a great time staying with them!”
“Dalis is by far the most thorough dog sitter in the world. She sent daily pictures and even a couple videos to keep me updated with how my dog was adjusting.Choose Dalis If you want superior care for your pet.”
“Being my first time away as a dog mom, I was extremely nervous. Nova was extremely nervous as well. But Allison was great. She kept me updated with pictures and updates on how Nova was doing. It allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about Nova. ❤️ 🐕🦺”
“Kira and Carter are wonder pet sitters. They watched my dogs for a week and kept me updated with lots of pics. My pups haven’t stayed that long away from us and they did wonderful and came home happy and healthy. I plan to use Kira and Carter in the future!”
“The best sitter! Our old lady Sissy has stayed with Emily's family several times. She always comes home happy. I can tell she is well cared for as she is not anxious when she is picked up. I highly recommend Emily!”
“I cannot express my gratitude for Kelly, adequately!! I would absolutely book with her and her family a million times over! She was very accommodating and patient from start to finish! My family and I were away for 6 days, and unfortunately, KoKo started exhibiting signs of illness on day 2 into day 3! Kelly alerted me immediately but had already made calls and received pet Med advice and comforted me as well as informed me of diagnosis! She never pressured me to return and even prepared special meals for my KoKo to ease his discomfort!!!! Turns out that he had a horrible case of separation anxiety that was literally making him sick. But Kelly and her family acted quickly and within 36 hours, helped KoKo settle and return to his normal playful healthy state! I told Kelly and I will tell the world… she’s not just a sitter… she’s a BLESSING for people that love their fur babies and want the best home away from home for them! Kelly and Brian (and precious little ones…), THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!🙏🏽”
“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.”
“We were so lucky to have found Melanie and Stella. Our Zoey is nearly 17 and has some health issues. Melanie provided excellent care and sent daily updates while we were on travel. Zoey and Stella got along well. We will definitely try to book again with Melanie in the future.”

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.
<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 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.
