“Lauryn was super sweet and accommodating. Her communication was amazing. Lauryn kept me up to date and sent lots of pictures of my baby while I was out of town.”
“And was actually incredible with our baby. Her boys loved her and gave her a nickname, and Ann sent pictures and updates every single day. And at pick up, my baby looked even better than when I dropped her off! She was clean, brushed out, and very happy! I couldn’t ask for a better experience. I felt safe during my entire vacation because I knew my baby was well taken care of. I will definitely be using Ann in the future!”
“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.”
About: I watched my friends and families pet whenever they go out of town ever since I was 22, I love being around animals in general. Mostly available in the evenings 3pm until 11pm any day of the week. Sunday through Saturday you can count on me. Glad to help 😊 I have a tea cup Yorkie named Teddy they will keep your pets company and we live in a peaceful apartment where your pet can run and play around and be safe.
“We were visiting the area from out of town. Our dog Ronnie is high-needs bc he has DM and has limited use in his hind legs. Laurie was so patient with Ronnie. She sent us pictures daily and kept in touch with us over the 4 day stay. We would highly recommend her!! Ronnie was happy and so are we that our baby was in a loving home!”
“Callie is absolutely fantastic and the best dog boarder we’ve ever had! Her enthusiasm and sincerity when it comes to the well-being of our dog are unmatched. She genuinely cares and goes above and beyond to ensure our pup is happy and comfortable. We can’t thank her enough for the love and care she provides, and we strongly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and passionate about dogs. Callie is truly amazing! ❤️”
“Jonah received exceptional care from Julie and her family. He stayed with them for a week in December right before the holiday. I appreciated the photos and attention. She provided specially during this busy time of year. She went above and beyond to transfer my pet to the next boarder. I highly recommend her.”
“Tim is a great petsitter and my dog love him . He always sent me pictures and answers my questions about my dog . And the most import thing was my dog had a good time with him .”
“Denise is the best! We had never left our fur baby prior to vacationing out of the country. Denise sent us daily updates along with photos. Our little guy had such a great time with her fur babies. I will be definitely booking her for play dates as he is an only pup in our house.”
“Wynema was great! She was willing to take care of our fur baby even though it was short notice and a holiday weekend. She is super friendly and communication was great. She sent us pics daily. Helped us enjoy our weekend away knowing that our boy was being loved on.”
“This is our second time boarding our pup with Natalie! She is so great and her family loves playing with our golden. They have a great backyard making it easy to let the dogs out and allow them to run around and play. Will definitely use again if back in Fairhope!”
“Victoria took SUCH great care of my pup! I received picture updates of Mila having a blast with her two new doggo friends. I will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you, Victoria!”
“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.”
“Our babies had a blast in their hugh, hugh yard! I think our dogs wanted to stay because they felt so at home and could ran, ran, ran all day! We will definitely use Jim and Myrna again if and when we need a sitter.”
“My dog, Ryder, enjoyed his stay with Charlie and his dogs. Charlie was very accommodating. We set up a meet and greet for our dogs and they ended up playing for 2 hours! I was updated daily, however much I requested. I only had to provide food and anything else I specifically wanted to bring. Charlie had an extra kennel and plenty of toys. He did walks with Ryder and made sure he got all that lab energy out. We’re back home now and Ryder’s going to sleep for a few days. He’s worn out from his great weekend!! I’m looking forward to using Charlie and his family again.”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our Buttercup! Jennifer is a caring, kind person who obviously loves dogs. She has taken care of our dog for 6 days these last 2 months and we couldn't be any more thrilled. We will always leave our Buttercup with Jennifer!!”
“Penny spent a week with Lindsey and her pack and she seemed to be very happy and content with her stay. Lindsey provided updates every morning and evening, letting me know that Penny had eaten her food and what she had done for the day. She also included pictures in which I could tell Penny was having fun. During her visit it was July 4 and Penny is extremely scared of fireworks. Lindsey made a safe space for Penny and checked on her consistently. I feel that Penny was in good hands with Lindsey and her family. I would not hesitate to leave Penny with Lindsay 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 August 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 August 2026, there are 124 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.
