“Lauryn was amazing with our dog, Buttercup. We boarded her for seven days while we were on our cruise, and Lauryn took excellent care of her the entire time. She kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind. Buttercup was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“my dogs LOVE mia and their family! i usually get home from a trip and get the cold shoulder or anxiety from my boys. this time i think they miss mia as much as they missed me! mia sent me frequent photos and in every single one my boys were having a blast 🧡 i could tell mia really cared about their wellbeing! their medication schedules and my one boy being on prescription food makes me nervous about going to a kennel with so many dogs that they could potentially get looked over. no shade to those businesses but with senior dogs needing specialized care im so grateful we found mia. will definitely be repeat customers!”
“Natalie took awesome care of our golden retriever! Her dog and our dog got along great. Overall A plus experience. Would recommend Natalie for any dog sitting situation.”
“My dog fell in love with Callie two minutes after I dropped him off. She takes pictures and videos of Oreo and sends daily updates. She is responsive, patient and the nicest person. She really took care of Oreo like one of her own. I’m very grateful for all she’s done. We feel very lucky to have found her. I’m pretty sure Oreo is ready to see her again already. ?”
“Jennifer is the BEST!! She loved our pup like her own for a long 9 day stay! We got updates multiple times a day and I think Harper was sad to leave her! We won’t be sending her to anyone else!”
“Sofia was an absolute godsend. She's incredibly dependable, professional and kind. And it's a bonus that she's a vet tech. I had never left my dog with a stranger before, so I was nervous about leaving her for a weekend. But Sofia was so communicative and responsive that my anxiety quickly vanished. I will 100% user her again.”
“This was our first time to use a sitter other than family. We met Lauri prior to our vacation and she put our mind at ease. She sent us pictures of Bailey, (our mini golden doodle puppy) daily - Bailey seemed to enjoy her time with Lauri. We will definitely be calling on Lauri again.”
“Courtney did a great job! No worries while we were away, and we came back to a calm and happy dog - we will definitely use Courtney's Rover service again.”
“If I could leave a 10 star review, I would. She went above and beyond. She's amazing with dogs. You can rest assured that your dog is in a loving and happy environment. It's like your dog will be on vacation while you are. 10/10 will be using her next time we need a sitter.”

“In my professional opinion, it appears that the universe may have intervened to introduce Charlie into our lives. During an urgent situation, Charlie promptly arrived and assumed responsibility for our 80-pound PitBull. Naturally, I was concerned since our dog had never been left with anyone other than us. However, Charlie demonstrated exceptional competence in handling our pet, and Bentley responded with remarkable receptiveness. It is evident that Charlie possesses a unique talent in understanding and communicating with dogs, which makes him an ideal candidate for our full-time dog-sitting needs.”
“James and Myrna were amazing! Myrna was sure to send photos and videos of my pup the whole time we were gone. Cairo had a blast at her visit which is apparent by how worn out she is after getting home! We will be sure to use James and Myrna for our future needs! I had no concerns at all that Cairo would be well taken care of when we left!”
“Cheryl was great taking care of my puppies last minute when we needed to go out of town! She sent pictures and updates everyday letting me know how they we’re doing ! My puppies came home happy and I was very pleased with their stay ! We will book again !”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Semmes
We had such a wonderful experience! I’m always a little nervous leaving my dogs with someone else, but I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. They were clearly well cared for, happy, and loved while we were away, which means the absolute world to me. Communication was great, and I really appreciated knowing my babies were safe and being taken care of. I would 100% trust them with my dogs again and couldn’t recommend them enough! ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Semmes on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 130 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Semmes. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Semmes sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Semmes landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Semmes 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 Semmes.
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 Semmes 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.
