“Savannah was able to do Doggie Care with our two girls with short notice. They were happy & well cared for. Sweet pictures even though it was just for a few hours. I would recommend Savannah to care for your dogs anytime.”

About: Hi friends! I believe in making sure that pets are feeling as safe and comfortable as they possibly can be especially in a new place! I would like to offer my services to your pet as a source of comfort when they are in my care! I believe in meeting their needs first from ensuring their special diets are met to having their favorite toys available! They will be under constant supervision! They will get their walkies, lots of love and treats, and plenty of outside time! I have a puppy and an older dog who are rescues. They are up to date on all their medical needs and I have learned how to positively handle all types of common behaviors with pets! I am available and home most of the time with my two kiddos! I can easily travel and be flexible to fit both pet parent and pets needs! When at my clients home, I love to be fully informed of all their pets needs as well as the pets routine. I prefer to do meet and greets ahead of time to get to the pets and the owners as well as get a brief tour of the pets area! It's important to me to gain not only the pets trust, but also that of the pet owner! If there is anything you would love extra such as a video call, pictures, or updates I love to provide those.

About: Ive taken care of animals since I was a child, I volunteer at pet shelters and have training as a vet tech from a vet clinic. I am a mama bear when it comes to all animals, they are treated with respect and love. I am a receptionist and mother of 2 boys, and my husband works from home as an accountant. Your dog or cat will be in great hands, I will walk them and take potty breaks. When I am away at work or the store they will be separated from other animals and given toys and water until I get home. I keep an eye on them with a baby monitor. My husband works from home and will also be helping me take care of the fur babies. When we are home they will be out and monitored and loved on. They sleep in crates at night on occasion or in our bed. They get healthy treats and tons of toys. They have a fenced yard to play and run in.

From the moment I dropped them off I was confident I had chosen the right person for the task. She is a pleasant human with a big heart. Yep, my babies came home just as I dropped them off, happy and all parts intact! Thank you Jessica!”

“Kyler is an exceptional doggy-whisperer and caretaker, and she has been a tremendous resource for taking care of my pup with both sitting and boarding services. She is incredibly easy to work with, always thoroughly communicative, extremely accommodating and, without a doubt, well-knowledgeable and experienced in what she does. My pup is always happy and exhausted after time with Kyler, and I'm always at ease knowing that she will be well taken care of in Kyler's company. The praise in this review is absolutely well-deserved!”

About: I have had the privilege of always having dogs. For me, there’s no greater joy! I was actually nicknamed at a young age “the dog whisperer” and I promise you it fits! I regard a dog’s care and routine with the utmost respect. I see the value in both physical and mental stimulation for your dog. Whether it’s playing games, learning commands, an agility course, or scent work, there are so many ways to introduce enrichment. Two of my own dogs have disabilities, one who is deaf and has seizures and one who had a leg amputated due to cancer (but he’s in remission and he’s loving life as a tripod!). So I am very familiar and comfortable with administering medication, following a specific care routine, and most importantly, giving all the belly rubs and kisses needed! I want your dog to feel secure with me and want me around, so I’m happy to do a meet and greet to get our journey together started! I work from home during the week and I’m off on weekends. I am usually available even with little notice. I am happy to provide whatever help you need that is best for your dog. Walks, playing, snuggles, and anything else needed! I take safety very seriously! I do not allow on leash greetings (unless you let me know who your pup’s neighborhood friends are and then I’m happy to let them say hi). I carry pet corrector in case an off leash dog approaches. I am very observant to dog behaviors and body language and I will quickly become in tune with your dog. I know how stressful it can be trusting someone with your dog so I’m happy to provide as many updates and photos as you like. I have a 2 acre fenced in yard (8’ high fence) that is secure and safe. The perfect space for playing, sniffs, or just being lazy! I have 3 friendly Great Danes that love animals! They are used to having their furry friends come over and play.

About: PLEASE NOTE As of October 13, 2026, I will be on maternity leave and will not be accepting any new clients during this time. I plan to return after my maternity leave and look forward to seeing both my wonderful returning clients and welcoming new clients when I’m back! Thank you so much for your understanding and support during this exciting time! 🤍 …… With over 16 years of experience in animal care, I bring a strong background in both small and large animals, including horses, livestock, and dogs. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics and dog boarding facilities, which gave me hands-on experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. While I value the structure of those settings, I believe in-home care is the most comfortable and stress-free option for most pets. I currently care for two dogs and two horses of my own, and I approach every client’s animal with the same level of respect, patience, and attentiveness I give my own. House Sitting Availability: I’m available for overnight care only, providing feeding, walks, and supervision during the night hours. Drop-In Visits Availability: I can provide up to two drop-in visits per day, including feeding, potty breaks, and basic care. In home boarding : I live in an apartment with a fenced deck, have two friendly dogs, and kids aged 3 and 8. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. I never board more than one family at a time, so your pup gets all the care and attention they need while you’re away. I prioritize safety and trust above all else when caring for pets in your home. Creating a calm, secure environment is essential to help your pets feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I treat your home and pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own!

My pup is usually very shy, but immediately warmed up to Laura and her husband. Laura kept me up to date on how he was doing throughout the stay and sent pictures as well. She's a great sitter!”

About: I have over nine years of experience caring for dogs, including one year as a boarder. Growing up, I fostered dogs and cared for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, but since I can’t have one where I live, getting to walk and care for them every day brings me so much joy! Whether your pup needs extra playtime, careful attention, or a dependable walker, I’m here to help. As an online student at UAB, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks and pet care throughout any day of the week. I’m usually up by 6 AM, so I’m available for early morning walks if needed. However, I prefer not to do nighttime walks for safety reasons. Whether your pup needs a midday walk or an afternoon play session, I’m happy to be there! I provide pet care in clients’ homes, following all given instructions to ensure consistency and comfort for your dog. Whether it’s walking, exercise, feeding schedules, or crate time, I follow routines closely to keep pets happy and stress-free. I prioritize safety, trust, and personalized care to make sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away.

We look forward to seeing Breanna and Jason and family again soon 😊”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something that comes very naturally to me. I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets when you can’t be there, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being treated with the same love and attention I’d give my own. We currently have three cats—one outdoor cat and two indoor cats—as well as two bunnies who have their own separate space. Our cats are extremely well socialized and are accustomed to being around other cats, dogs, and our bunnies. We do not currently have a dog of our own. I’m comfortable with all the everyday things that make a big difference: feeding routines, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter boxes, keeping spaces clean, and, of course, plenty of attention and affection. I also understand that every animal has its own personality. Some want to be right beside you, while others need a little more patience and space before they feel comfortable. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while they’re in my care. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible and keep you updated along the way, so you can relax knowing your pet is being genuinely cared for. I am a stay-at-home/Homeschooling Mom to an 8 year old son. We offer boarding Monday-Friday and some holidays. We welcome all fur babies and truly enjoy the time we get to spend with each one of them. An area of my back yard is fenced while the other half is open. We have plenty of shaded space available for those hot days while enjoying the beautiful weather!

“Sam had a blast with Dana D. Drop off and pick up were so easy with clear communication throughout. She has a calm confidence that instilled trust right from the start. And she sent cute pics too! Our energetic pup was pleasantly exhausted after a playful day that included plenty of outdoor romping and stick fetching (his fave!). We were nervous to send our little Sammers for his first time with a sitter but couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.”

“Doug did a great job taking care of our dog, Paisley! We were visiting family and needed a sitter in a pinch (during a holiday weekend no less) and Doug was super quick to respond and help us out. He provided nice updates with photos, and it was clear Paisley had a great time and was well taken care of. He even took the extra effort to replace her ball when she lost it the bushes while playing outside. Would definitely use Doug again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Shelby on Rover is $30 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $31 per day. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Shelby 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.

As of October 2026, there are 195 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of AL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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.

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 .

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
