“Sofia has been the perfect host for Teddy ! I cannot recommend her enough. She was so gentle and caring for Teddy, he could not have been in a better home! Thank you again Sofia !”
“Cory was amazing. His communication is very efficient and personable. Rosie slept for 24 hours after all her fun times with him running out her almost 1 year old puppy energy!! We were evacuating for Hurricane Ida, and he was very accommodating about our last minute schedule change. He even bathed her for a small fee before pick up. I have already recommended him to friends in Fairhope. He’s perfect for active, kennel trained dogs.”
“This was Bella's first overnight in almost 7 years and everything went well. Kristin is great with the doggies and I believe Bella likes her a bit too(sarc). We are going to book her for a 6 day stay later this month.”

“Callie was awesome! Our pup is extremely energetic, and she welcomed him with a smile and lots of love. Even though we only used her for 1 night, she sent loads of updates and pictures throughout his short stay. Next time we are in Mobile we will definitely use her again!”

“Ileana is great. Kona loves going on adventures with her and getting to live her best dog life. We enjoy all the pictures and videos of proof of life and getting to see what Kona's day consists of. Kona enjoys rolling around with Christine and stealing Lola's nap spots. I have no worries when Kona is there and she is always excited to see Ileana. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby! We'll see you soon.”
“Victoria was great with Levi! He has some separation anxiety and was very comfortable with her and her dogs, and had so much fun! She made sure he felt safe and good and very quickly he felt right at home at her house which says a lot! Would definitely use her services again :)”
“Gabrielle went way above and beyond while looking after my two dogs! They enjoyed at least two walks per day and frequent visits and lots of TLC, as well as some unexpected perks regarding behavior modification, i.e. she got one of my dogs to bark less! She was an absolute gem and frequently sent videos and photos of my dogs when I was away for three nights. I highly recommend using Gabrielle for your next special friend sitter!”
“Chance had a great time with Kimberly and I never doubted he would be taken care of like one of her own. He was pooped by the time he came home which means he had fun. Not to mention she took us as a client last minute. She was a life saver!”
“Halley was great! She was super nice and friendly, and she kept me updated on how my babies were doing while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands and having fun. 10/10, I would definitely book with her again!”
“Tierney did a fantastic job keeping my dogs for a week while we were out of town getting married. My dogs loved her dogs and they all played so hard together. She kept on communication with me and even sent me pictures and videos while we were away. I will hire her again for all my boarding needs.”
“Ms. Robin is a beautiful soul. We became friends instantly at our meet'n greet with our Sammy boy. She took care of him like he was her own. She treated my husband, my kids and myself like family. She sent me pictures of Samson everyday and kept us updated on how he was doing. We are truly blessed to have found Ms. Robin. Now our Samson has two mommies. We didn't just find a great Rover sitter in Ms. Robin we found a new member of our family.”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 Satsuma 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 Satsuma 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 Satsuma.
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 Satsuma. On Rover:
- 90% 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 Satsuma 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.
