“This was our second time booking with Sandra and Mark! My dogs love it there and they love my dogs, and I love how I have the peace of mind that my fur babies are well cared for. Thanks y’all!”
“Mrs Catherine is the best person that took care of my golden doodle and this’s priceless to me. I really love that she was sending pictures and videos every single day and updating me on how Karol was doing. Please Do not hesitate to contact her for the care of your pet, as she will provide excellent care.She’ll be my dog sitter on our upcoming vacations.”
“Heather and her family did an amazing job watching all 3 of our pups for a whole week. The daily updates and pics gave us such peace of mind. We have used a boarding facility on the past for one of our dogs and she came home shaking for a week. We vowed never again to go the typical boarding route. So glad we found Heather!”
“Jennifer and her family are awesome! We have left our dog Ace with them a handful of times and can rest assured knowing that he is loved and well taken care of! They have even bought him a toy of his own! Jennifer is wonderful at keeping us updated with lots of pictures throughout his stay and has been very flexible with us on pickup/drop off times. I could not recommend them enough! Our dog loves them and is always excited to see them when he comes for a stay.”
“Kaia was absolutely wonderful with our pup..she was quick to communicate and we felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in such capable hands. She is kind and warm and cares for your dog with love.”
“Kara was wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and I’m so glad we found Kara. Our dog had such a fun time with her dogs and family. She sent us photos of Saint during his stay. She was so responsive from the beginning all the way through. You can tell she loved on our Saint like she loves on her own family.”
“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“Maddie was amazing! I got updates and pictures during my dog’s stay. She was attentive to his needs and worked with him to make sure he was comfortable throughout his stay”
“I was able to book with Casey last minute and she took great care of my Sweetie. When my cousin picked my dog up she said my dog was walking around like she was home and comfortable. I would definitely rebook and you should too.”
“This was the perfect family to watch our dogs! The family I can trust. They are responsible, kind and helpful. I wasn‘t worried about my fur babies at all. And looks like our dogs loved to stay with them too. Even my little chihuahua didn‘t lose any weight(he always stops eating or eats very little when I am not with him). Also, Nikki was sending photos of dogs everyday and they looked so relaxed and happy 😊”
About: Here to make sure your 4 legged family feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I work Monday–Friday, but my schedule can be flexible at times. If you need pet care but aren’t sure whether my schedule will fit your needs, feel free to message me! I’m always happy to help whenever I’m able. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups. I crate trained both of my dogs while they were potty training, so I also have a large crate available if that fits your pet’s needs.
“Alona is absolutely amazing!! Very attentive and detailed. She communicates well with updates and she really put my mind at ease when I needed a dog sitter in a clutch. My 🐕 was so happy when I picked him up that he didn’t want to leave 😃 I will definitely call her to dog sit again. Thanks Alona!!!”
“This is the second time Megan has watched one of our dogs, and the first time for our other dog. Megan is always so friendly and took great care of our babies! They get along great with Megan’s dogs and we’re so exhausted when we got home. I know they had a great time! I really appreciate her responsiveness to messages and pictures of my babies!”
“Loved loved loved Lexie ! She was sure to keep me updated on my baby throughout my whole vacation. There was never a time where I had to worry if he was safe and in good hands because Lexie is sooo pure ! And she is a GREAT photographer Lol , Everyday I woke up with beautiful picture's of Chapo 10/10 highly recommended 🩷🤗”
“If I could give more stars for Carly, I would. We were worried about someone taking care of our beloved pet Chase. He's a Vizsla, if anyone knows about this breed knows that they're very attached to their owners and many times suffers from separation anxiety as ours does. We are retired so we spent every day with him, and rarely live him alone. For our 41 wedding anniversary, we decided to go on a cruise so we spent a lot of time thinking about what to do with Chase, but we were lucky to find the best person for the job Carly and her husband. Were a lot better than we expected. Can't recommend highly enough to anyone who is in a similar situation. Thank you Carly for the bottom of our hearts for taking good care of Chase. Everything went perfect in our vacation thanks to you, and your love and dedication to Chase. Respectfully, Haby and Cristina”
“Kristina took excellent care of Skyy along with beautiful pictures sent daily of my fur baby which was a total plus! I will definitely be calling her again for pup care, thank you Kristina 🐶!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Smiths Station is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smiths Station
If I could give Sandra and Mark more than 5 starts, I absolutely would. From the moment I dropped Lily off, I knew she was going to be loved and cared for like family. They have an incredible setup for dogs; a huge backyard with plenty of room to run and explore, and a dedicated space that is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully put together with beds, toys, bowls, rugs, and everything a dog could need to feel right at home. The communication was beyond amazing. I got photos and videos constantly, and seeing Lily happily roaming, running, relaxing, and living her best life gave me so much peace of mind. It's obvious they genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs in their care. And then there's Mark. Lily has him completely wrapped around her paw (lol)! 😂 She gets multiple walks a day, gets to hang out with him on the patio, and receives so much attention that I started to wonder if she wanted to come home with me at all. In fact, I think they've spoiled her so much that she even became selective about treats now. Princess behavior ONLY! 👑 It's clear that Sandra and Mark don't just "watch" the dogs; they truly care about them and go above and beyond to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, but they made it INCREDIBLY easy. I trust them completely and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Thank you BOTH for treating Lily like royalty! She had the vacation of a lifetime! ❤️🏝️
All I can say is wow. Madison went above and beyond to make our baby Greyson comfortable, even given our sweet little boy a bath after playing in the mud with her sweet Shepherds. Was excited to see me when I picked him up, but he seemed that he was torn and wanted to stay with Madison as well. Definitely will rebook.

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 Smiths Station 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 Smiths Station 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 Smiths Station 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 Smiths Station.
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 Smiths Station 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.
