“Our dog seemed to enjoy her time at Summer's! We received photos during our trip, which we really appreciated. She lives on a lot of open space with a big backyard, which was perfect for our high energy pup.”

“Kona absolutely loves staying here! He gets so excited every time we arrive, which gives me so much peace of mind. Emily takes such great care of him and always keeps me updated with photos and messages. It’s clear that he feels comfortable and happy while he’s there. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gives him. Highly recommend!”

“Lark took wonderful care of our pups for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Her home was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and it was clear that our dogs were well cared for and treated like part of the family. Lark also shared photos and videos with us every day, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable person to watch their dogs!”

“Piper and Chloe give Katie a five star review. They enjoyed staying with Katie so much! They were spoiled rotten and they will definitely be going back to visit again on our next trip! I got a lot of updates and pics and things 1000x better than a loud kennel at the vet! Highly, highly recommend!”

“Avery is absolutely wonderful! She’s so sweet and caring, and my dog Munch loves going to her house. He felt comfortable right away and got along perfectly with her cats—no issues at all. It’s clear that Avery has a natural way with animals and provides a warm, welcoming environment. I always feel at ease knowing Munch is happy and well cared for with her. Highly recommend!”

“Shelby was awesome. Got in touch with her at the last minute to watch my baby and she went above and beyond to help me. LJ seemed to love her and I felt so safe leaving her with Shelby. Will definitely ask Shelby to watch her again if I am ever in the area. Thank you again Shelby. Gave this fur baby Mom a peace of mind while I was away”

“Super nice and friendly, gives updares and provides pictures every day and flexible on pickup and drop off times. Definitely recommend 💯 and will leave my dogs with her any day.”

“I'm extremely picky about where I'll leave Remi. He's very high energy and very sensitive to new environments. He gets sick and loses weight at traditional kennels (learned this the hard way) so we don't use them. This was just a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of pictures & updates and picked up a happy, healthy, & very tired pup tonight :) Definitely recommend!!”
“We would highly recommend Tracy for keeping your dog. He and his wife Tammy treated our dog Spirit like she was theirs. She was allowed most any where in the house. Tracy did her favorite thing by walking her 4 times a day. He gave us progress reports an pictures every day. So that we didn’t miss her quite as bad. We will definitely be leaving her with him again.”

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.
“Bruno and Lilia are amazing! I will use them every time I need someone to care for my fur babies. Also, Lilia is a dog trainer, so she is very competent in doggy care. You will not be disappointed. I was three states away and never worried about my dogs' well-being. Truly a blessing!”

“We left our 3 dogs for 6 days and they had a great time. They enjoyed a “home” setting much more than their traditional boarding/kennel experience. Shaina followed all of the directions and genuinely cared about the dogs and their needs. Highly recommended!”


About: I own a Belgian Malinios + a Pitbull/Australian Shepherd mix. I will pet sit any fur baby you need me to! Before those pets I had a German Shepherd. I would love to take care of your baby and keep it safe and content while you get away from home wether it be for work, vacation, or medical. I have school, Monday-Thursday from 7:45am-11:45am. Once i come home i am able to come and pet sit. I have routines for my own animals so if you have a routine i would love to know it so i can abide! I have no current job due to personal issues but i have transportation. I drive myself there and i will have plenty time to play, care for, and keep your sweetheart safe. I keep one of my dogs in a large pen outside to keep him off the road. I go out to play with him 2-3 hours every day. With my puppy she stays inside and we play after every long nap she has and makes sure she goes outside with me very 30 minutes to ensure no accidents. If she has one it is immediately cleaned up and sanitized! She also gets enforced nap time in her crate to ensure she gets proper rest when she refuses her sleep times and becomes restless. I do not hit animals i just bring them outside for a bit until their next potty and reward. As for my cats they live inside with a litter box that is emptied out every other day. They get played with after their naps and i make sure no accidents happen on the floor with them.
About: I've been caring for animals since I was able to. When my family was away, I cared for five dogs, one cat, two guinea pigs, and a fish. I've also looked after goats and chickens. I have a full-time job, but I will make time for your furry friend. I currently work a full time job so as long as your fur baby will be okay for a few hours during the days/times i am scheduled to work, i will still have plenty of time to dedicate to their care while you are gone. If your dog needs 24 hour care, I will spend the time with them and take pictures to show you how your fur babies are doing. I can also do a meet and greet with you and your fur babies to see if we get along.
“John & Missy were great with my Jack Russell pup. They kept us in communication throughout the entire time plus kept him busy and active. My pup had so much fun with them he literally stared at their home while we were leaving after pickup. I highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about using their service. They even gave us a parting gift and tips on how to manage our pup when we picked him up. Also this was a last minute situation for us having to leave town in an emergency situation, they were very sweet and professional and took great care of us during short notice, Missy stayed up late to ensure we would not go without help during this time which we really appreciate them for being patient and helping us.”

About: I lost my two dogs back to back within the past few years and my heart is empty but not ready to get a new dog. I’m retired from the Air Force and a stay ant home mom and have lots of time to care for pets . I’m very active and absolutely love dogs and understand the crucial importance of exercise and activity to their health. Available currently weekends and evenings only since I work full time. I am planning on retiring next year at which time I will be ready to try this full time. I will respect and follow instructions exactly as a former pet owner, I understand how important it is to follow owner’s wishes when it comes to pet care.

About: I've taken care of animals for years. When I was younger I not able to have a dog. So when I could I went to the library and researched breeds of dogs. I was so interested I even went to local dog shows. I love dogs and like cats to so let me take care of your family pet. I have experience with older dogs and dogs with special needs. I am working part-time right now, but I have time to play and take care of your precious dog or cat. Weekends are good for me. Let me know and I will be there to walk, play, and feed your family pets. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs of my own to keep them company. If I come to your place I will take care of your dog and make sure to have their best interests at heart. Whether at my house or yours your pet will be taken care of. I'm working full-time but I am free at 6 and beyond if you need me to come walk or drop-in on your pet. I am free every weekend as I only work during the work. I have a big fenced in backyard that my dogs enjoy with plenty of shade and a shed. The animals I petsitt will have plenty of room to run and play. They will also have loads of playtime and enjoyment with my dogs.
“Otis loved staying with Jasmyne and her dogs. Her mum's huge labradoodle and he got on great. He was a tired boy when he got back. Great communication, and nice set up in the house too - highly recommended.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Speed 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 Speed.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Speed 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.
