“After I had a pet sitter not show up for a meet and greet, I reached out to Chelsea, who took on boarding my dog with less than 1 week’s notice. She was very kind and understanding about the situation and was happy to board my dog for a long weekend. This was my first time using a Rover pet sitter for boarding so I was a bit nervous, but Chelsea exceeded my expectations. I received multiple updates and pictures of my dog every day. It put my mind at ease to see him comfortable while I was away, and Chelsea was very attentive to his arthritis and allergies. She took great care of my dog. Chelsea was also quick to respond to my messages on Rover and just a great person to work with. I would recommend Chelsea to any of my friends, 10/10 experience”
“Blake went out of her way to make sure not only Jemma but also that I was completely comfortable throughout her entire stay. She organized a meet and greet to make sure Jemma would be a good fit for her house which put me at ease. She sent daily updates and even spoiled Jemma when she was on edge from the fireworks. Truly treated my baby as her own and is without a doubt my go to dog sitter in town!”
“Great Sitter! My dogs loved being with the family and she was able to introduce them comfortably to her cats. She also made sure they got exercise everyday and sent lots of pictures with updates. Was super glad we chose her and will be using Danielle again :)”
“Went above and beyond all expectations I have for my dog sitters. The dogs loved staying with them and loved hanging with their new best friend Cooper. Will definitely be rebooking with Lindaria. Thank you and Kendra again!”
“She is awesome!! Always treats our dogs like her own and gives updates all the time. We really like letting our dogs stay her because they get to be comfortable, are taken care of, and lots of yard to run.”
“We are a military Family who recently arrived to the area and we needed immediate boarding for our Weimaraner because of our housing situation. I’d had great success with Rover’s at previous locations, so we were hoping to find a good one here. Kodi was not just good, she was phenomenal! She provided excellent care to our dog for an extended period of time. And he had an absolute ball with the other dogs she was providing care for. it was almost like sending your kid to an awesome summer camp, where they are well cared for and make some great friends and great memories. It gives you tremendous peace of mind! I HIGHLY recommend Kodi’s Rover services - your pet will be provided with great care, affection and attention. And she will keep you informed with updates and pictures during their stay. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I am reliable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s routine, personality, and comfort level. I also have experience caring for geriatric pets and animals that need medication, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to detail. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, basic reinforcement of good habits, or extra care, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am already used to being responsible, organized, and consistent with my time. I make sure pets receive dependable care, attention, walks, feeding, medication if needed, and companionship without feeling rushed. I understand that animals do best with routine, so I work hard to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s schedule as normal and comfortable as possible. I focus on keeping their routine as normal, safe, and comfortable as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medication, potty breaks, crate use, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have a clean, calm environment, fresh water, regular attention, and plenty of patience. I also pay close attention to behavior, energy level, appetite, and comfort so I can quickly notice if something seems off. My goal is to give each pet dependable care while giving the owner peace of mind.

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.
100% of sitters in Skipperville 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 Skipperville 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 Skipperville.
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 Skipperville 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.

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.
