“Kristy was a great sitter for our very high energy Boxer! I was able to make a reservation on short notice. Drop off and pick up were quick and easy. Our pup slept GREAT after a day of play with Kristy's dog. Will book again in the future!”
“Allison saved the day with her quick response and ability to watch our Rottweiler Zoey. She had a great place for Zoey to stay with the fenced in yard and other dogs that she was able to play with. If we lived in Huntsville, we certainly would be using her again. Thanks so much, Allison.”
“My pups really enjoyed their stay. They had lots of room to roam around and made a new friend, the family pet Georgie the Corgi. Lindsey gave me updates on how they were doing throughout the day. We will definitely be bringing them back and would highly recommend!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 13 years old and have always had a love for them! My experience includes volunteering at an animal shelter, dog walking, and providing pet check-ins for neighbors and friends. During visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and playtime so they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. Every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take pride in being patient, reliable, and attentive. I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and keep your pup company during their stay. When you schedule boarding with me, I’ll add in a complimentary bath! 🐶 Your fur baby will have plenty of space to play in my fully fenced yard! They’re welcome to join the family on the furniture and get comfortable during their stay.
“This morning I dropped off a wild child (my pup Emma), she was so excited to be at daycare today! This afternoon I picked up a calm, happy, and totally cared for pup. Emma had a great time at Fortune’s home playing with her pups and really enjoyed playing with her son and his friend. Thank you for watching Emma!”
About: I am very familiar with dogs of all ages. I have been a pet sitter for 5+ years and it brings me so much joy! I believe that pets are family and should treated with phenomenal care and love. I’m currently at home full time, so I have plenty of time to provide your pup with playtime, walks, cuddles, and more. I am available for boarding throughout the week as well as drop ins. I have two little ones that will also love on your pup. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play! I go on daily walks and would love to have a friend to take along as well.
About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
About: I have 3 years of experience caring for my own Border Collie, so I’m very comfortable with active, energetic dogs and understand the importance of regular exercise, attention, and playtime. I also regularly care for a friend’s dog when their family travels to Korea, sometimes for about two months at a time. During these extended stays, I provide daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I personally provide all pet care for my Rover bookings and will be the sole caregiver for the pets in my care. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I have my own Border Collie. I’m used to planning my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and exercise. My schedule is flexible, so I can give your dog plenty of attention and make sure they get the care and activity they need throughout the day. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of exercise. My home also has a friendly Border Collie who is comfortable being around other dogs. Three children live in the home—one in high school, one in middle school, and one in 5th grade—and they are used to being around dogs and love animals. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I personally make sure each dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and a safe and comfortable place to relax. I’ll treat your dog like family while they’re staying in my home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ryland commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

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.
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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
