“Amber is amazing! She and her family were the perfect fit for our little dog! Amber let Maisy be part of the family. She sent me several pictures and updates. Amber also bathed Maisy and all her bedding before she came home, I thought that was just so thoughtful! Our dog is a singleton so it was really nice for her to get to have interaction with other dogs her size. We will DEFINITELY be repeat customers of Amber and I would recommend her to anyone I know.”
“Kelsey and her family always does such a great job with our pup! He was so excited to see her again when she came to pick him up. And he’s always so exhausted when he comes home which is a sign he had a great time! Great communication the whole time she had him, too!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our black lab, Stone. He is our baby and we feared we wouldn’t find anyone who would spoil him like we do. But Sean and Dianna exceeded our expectations! We were updated multiple times daily, which set our nerves at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We would highly recommend and will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“We left our German Shepherd with Christa and her family over the 4th of July wknd for 5 days. We couldn’t have been more happy with how his stay went. We received pictures and updates daily. We know Kane had a great time with her & the kids. They were very kind and welcoming when we arrived, we knew as soon as we dropped him off that he was in great hands! Highly recommend :)”
“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!”
“Lindsey’s and John’s care for our little Corgi, Toby, was five star all the way! Lindsey, John and their three amazing children are a beautiful family that bubble over with love, warmth and enthusiasm. When I first arrived with Toby, I was a bit tentative, as I’d never left him in a private home with strangers. But the minute Lindsey and two of her children stepped out to greet us, I knew he’d be in great hands! Lindsey was so welcoming yet also calm and confident in the way she allowed Toby to greet them first. She then allowed Toby to explore their beautiful home while I provided instruction for his care. Then, out he went to their backyard, a beautiful and well maintained lush green paradise, the perfect place for dogs to run and play! But the best was yet to come. They, too, have a Corgi, George, and both George and Toby played well together. Each day I received great pics and videos along with a brief text about Toby’s day. If I had any questions, they responded immediately. Lindsey and John truly provided a home away from home for Toby that was unparalleled to anything I have experienced, and I can’t thank them enough! I am so glad to have found them and will definitely be calling them again next time we leave for a vacation!”
“This was my first experience using Rover, and Rachel exceeded my expectations. Immediately my dog was comfortable in her home and I knew after the meet and greet she was the right person. I loved all the photos and updates and loved how much my dog enjoyed her time there-so much so she didn't want to leave!”
“Mya is a wonderful sitter for our precious pup. She is our go-to without question! Her environment is a real home with real interaction, not a kennel. That is important to me. Thank you, Mya! You are an angel….really!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’m a stay-at-home dog mom to two pups who mean the world to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies, and I’ll always treat them like my own! Being home allows me to give your pups plenty of love, attention, and playtime. My family also owns a dog-related business, so I have access to a fun space where dogs can play and socialize for free if they’re comfortable with it! Every dog has their own little personality, and I love getting to know what makes them happy. My goal is simple: to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! ❤️ I’m a retired Army veteran and now a stay-at-home dog mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m home most of the day with my two pups, which gives me plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday routine! ❤️ Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priority! I have a fenced-in yard and two dogs of my own to keep your furry friend company. If I’m caring for your pup in your home, I’ll respect your space and stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. Every dog is different, and I’ll always make sure they get the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates for your peace of mind! ❤️
About: I have grown up being an animal lover, so big or small I’ll love your pet! I was a volunteer at the Yakima Humane Society for summers of 2016 through 2019, where I fed, and bathed animals, walked dogs, and spent as much time as possible cuddling all the animals! I am currently working on furthering my education through an online program which leaves me plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I telework some days but I work 7am- 3pm weekdays. I have a decent sized fenced yard that your dog can play fetch and run around in! I take requests and schedules very seriously, making sure your dog is happy and healthy is my top priority.

I currently have 4, 3 of which are high energy high drive dogs.your pups will get plenty of play time and walks with structured activities to keep them engaged followed by tons of love. I do currently work full time so start the days with the dogs early. First walks are about 5 am with play time and breakfast to follow.

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.
95% of sitters in Scottsboro 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 Scottsboro 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 Scottsboro.
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 Scottsboro. On Rover:

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 Scottsboro 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.
