“Michael was attentive and responded quickly to all of our messages. Boomer got along well with his two pups. Michael sent me pictures and/or videos daily and kept me up to date with how Boomer was doing. Michael's yard is spacious with plenty of room for running and napping. If we are ever back in town We will definitely have Michael take care of Boomer! Thank you Michael!!”
“This was my first time to use Rover.com for finding a local pet sitter to take care of my two dogs. I chose Terwin due to all of her positive reviews. I was most pleased for the care she gave my dogs while I was away from home. I received photos of my dogs while under her care which helped to ease the anxiety of wondering how my dogs were adapting. I highly recommend Terwin and I certainly will use her service again!”
“My experience with Jacob was 5+ stars throughout the entire process: booking, answering questions, flexibility with drop off and pick up, updates from him on how our baby was adapting, and many other things. Jacob took excellent care of our 14 year old poodle. HIGHLY recommend him and we will definitely have him care of our pets in the future!”
“This staycation for Nadia was great. Taylor is so pleasant and is happy to really make our doggie comfortable. It's a big house with a big yard but I think Nadia spent most of her time sleeping on the couch...just like home. Taylor sent me pictures of Nadia and I knew I made the right choice. Thank you, Taylor. Thank you, Rover. Elliot”
“Sue and Gary were amazing! This was my first experience using Rover so I was a little nervous, but they quickly eased my worries. I highly recommend booking with them.”
“Jennifer is the best!!! Henry (an only dog) was so happy there, and so enjoyed his vacation and playing with Jennifer and her dogs, he acted like he wanted to stay 😁. We’re so grateful for her giving Henry a home away from home - and she takes amazing photos and kept us updated on the good times he was having. His next stay with her is already booked!”
“Taylor and her husband were amazing! They were very knowledgeable about dogs and helped ease my worry of letting my dogs stay with someone I didn’t know. definitely will be using them again in the future!”
“Christina and Gabriel provided lots of attention and love to buttercup and when she came back, she was much better behaved and much calmer! Thank you both so much for opening your home and your heart to our pet! We are forever indebted to you, Debbie”
“These are the best dog sitters you will find! They are always sending you tons of great pics and updates about your pup and you can tell they really love taking care of your furry family member. They provide a great home environment for pups. Will definitely use them again when I’m back in the area and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“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!”
“Kenny and Olga were fantastic! They had great communication, were super friendly and have a lovely, clean, safe home. I felt like Buster was very well taken care of. I would highly recommend and will be using them again in the future 😊”
“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.”
“Cheryl (and her family) were exceptional! From the time we dropped them off until we picked them up, we were entirely comfortable the dogs were cared for well. Her dog Joey is a great dog host too. She sent texts and pictures throughout their stay. Most important- our dogs were very at ease with Cheryl. We will stay with Cheryl again!”
“The best dog care you could ever have. Very friendly, right on time. Everything is comfortable, the service, you can trust her with your dog, worries free. She really makes time to play with your dog and give so much care. She deserve more than the pay she ask for, you will never regret boarding the dog to her, they got back yard and your dog will have so much fun.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 396 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Summerdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Summerdale 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 Summerdale 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 Summerdale.
<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 Summerdale 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.
