About: Pregnant, nursing, newborn, adolescent, adult and senior, large or small, I have had them all. Many breeds either in my home or friends animals I have cared for. Need medication given? Not a problem, special diet, even injections, your pets will be loved and well cared for. My home has acres to run and play on, 2 separate fenced areas if pets need to be separated. Do they like to swim? My pond is their pond during their stay and I can bath them for you before they go home. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom. Very rarely will your babies be alone at my home. They will have attention and care most of the day and night, everyday. My home is pet friendly. Fully fenced yard, with separate fenced back yard. Multiple dog beds that my dogs would be happy to share with yours, don’t forget sofa snuggles. If crating is needed, we have that as well. We have a dog door that opens into the backyard so pets can come and go if they want on their own. Need your dog bathed before he comes home? Just say the word.

“Olivia was incredibly accommodating. I reached out and booked at the last minute to help a fellow grandmother with boarding her two fur babies, and she made the entire process easy and stress-free. Because I was rushing and didn’t know much about the pups, I didn’t realize (or think to ask) that one of them might be in heat. Olivia typically doesn’t accept pups in heat, but given the emergency situation, she graciously worked with us anyway. She even provided pick-up and drop-off, which was a huge help. When she brought them back, it was clear the pups really liked her, and that told me everything. They were well cared for and comfortable with her. I absolutely recommend Olivia for your fur baby boarding needs!”
“Moriah takes such good care of Benji! She takes him on so many adventures and he has the best time! She’s great at sending pictures and communicating. She’s very flexible with pick up/drop off times which is extremely helpful!”
About: I've cared for pets (mine and others) my whole life. I can't count the number of pets I've had... During my childhood, we kept every stray that wandered up! I love all animals and look forward to meeting your babies!! I work from home so I can sit days or nights. I have a big backyard, a dog door and extra dog beds. Slumber Party!! Bring your own bones! I have a dog and a cat that stay inside most of the time but they do use a dog door to the fenced backyard. We eat morning and night. Welcoming friends!
“Peggy was so great with our boys! It was the 1st time used Rover and left them, and we will definitely do it again. They played like they were at a home away from home!”
About: I’ve owned various animals since I was little and have always been the one to feed, bathe, and overall take care and love on them! I’m a college student with currently all AM classes ending at 12 pm. I am free Mondays, Wednesday, and Friday after 12, Tuesdays and thursdays after 11, and free anytime on the weekends! In my home I have a back porch that is fenced in, I also use leashes and harness to take my dogs on walks outside in nature and own a crate for a small dog that I can definitely use for other animals if the owner requested so!
“Karina and her husband took great care of our dogs while we had to go out of town. They really treat your pets as if they’re their own! I never had to worry about our babies being well cared for with them! When we unexpectedly ended up having to extend our stay away because of the hurricane, they were so accommodating for us and the dogs. I highly recommend keeping your dogs with Karina if you need someone that’s reliable and loving.”
“Melanie is great. I feel so confident that my dog is being well taken care of and that he's happy and having a good time. She keeps in touch with update emails. I can't say enough good things about her. I'm so happy to find someone I trust to keep my dog when I have to be away.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Summerdale
Taylor took amazing care of our dog Cash. Cash's stay was for 9 days which was an extended time already. She went above and beyond even keeping him during hurricane isaias as she lost power for 9 hours! Her dog Zeus warmed right up to Cash and they played like two toddlers the whole time! Highly recommend Taylor if you are going to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach for vacation and you your do needs a vacation as well or if you are leaving the Mobile, Robertsdale area and need an excellent family to take care of your dog!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 392 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.
98% 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, 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.
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 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 , 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 .
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.
