“Lauren provided a great time for my dogs & peace of mind for me. She responded promptly to my request for service & communication continued to be excellent throughout the weekend. She provided photos & I never had a moment’s concern about Ruff & Tuff. Not everyone appreciates big dogs, but Lauren has big dogs of her own & had no problem with my Bernese Mountain Dogs. I will definitely use her again!”
“We had such an amazing experience with Stephanie! She was so easy to work with, responded to any questions quickly and sent lots of updates while she was watching the dogs, which I always appreciate. I felt completely at ease the entire time they were with her. She made the process so stress free. The dogs had a wonderful time and got lots and lots of love and attention. 100/10”
“Amber went out of her way to make Snowflake feel at home. She even went to the store and bought her some chicken to boil because she didn’t want to eat her dog food. She was good to keep in touch and answer my questions soon after I asked them. She is a great sitter for my girl! I hope to book her to keep Snowflake again soon. Thank you, Amber!”
“Parker was an outstanding sitter for Zeus. He looked happy when I arrived and he didn't want to leave. Patrick took pictures and provided updates on a daily basis. I felt very comfortable with leaving Zeus with him.”
“Dessire is awesome and we loved her beautiful family and farm!! She was so patient with our little dog who got confused with where her puppy pad was located and had to do a lot of cleanup (we travel and are in bad weather so resort to pads indoors much of the time.) Anyhow we are so grateful to have found such a caring patient person. You will love Dessire and so will your pet!! <3”
“Kept me informed about my little Boston daily. With pictures and videos, I didn't feel as isolated from him as I had anticipated I would be.I saw he was enjoying his walks and cuddling and visiting the outdoors. Boston was on medications and Terri kept me informed of his progress. Thanks!”
“Beth was fantastic! Great at communicating and very kind and accommodating. Our Maggie was provided with lots of great play space and love and care! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“Jenny was great! Rosie had the best time cuddling with her and chasing her chickens! I would highly recommend using Jenny if you are in the area. We will use her again next time we bring Rosie with us for a Clemson trip!”

About: I’ve always had a passion for animals of all kinds. I attended school for veterinary technology, giving me a strong foundation in animal health and care. Beyond that, I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and birds. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m not intimidated by just about any animal. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn what works best for yours, ensuring they receive the same love, patience, and attention they’re used to while you’re away. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pets happy, safe, and comfortable. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most visit times, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and many last-minute requests. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to provide the care they need when they need it. I have a large yard to go for walks in, far way from the road. If they stay at our home, they will be treated like our pets. Part of the family ❤️
“Candace is so sweet. She took care of Jersey like he was her own. He was so loved he almost didn’t want to leave lol. She sent updates and communicated daily. My son felt his best friend, Jersey, was treated like family. I would recommend her to anyone!!! Can’t wait to use her again. Amazing!!”
About: Dedicated and trusted dog professional with 20+ years of experience offering knowledgeable, structured, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages, behaviors, and routines. Pet care isn’t an add-on to my schedule—it is my schedule. I structure my days around walks, feedings, training, and enrichment so dogs get consistent care, calm handling, and predictable routines. Each visit is planned, not rushed, and adjusted to the dog’s needs, energy level, and household expectations. Weekly, I build in flexibility for longer stays, special needs, and last-minute requests while maintaining reliability and communication. Dogs thrive on consistency, and my routine is built to provide exactly that. I provide structured, attentive care tailored to each pet and household—whether in my home or a client’s. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s established routine for feeding, walks, medications, and enrichment to minimize stress. I focus on calm, confident handling, safety, and clear communication, with updates after each visit. In my home, pets receive a quiet, controlled environment with supervised interactions, structured rest, exercise, and individualized attention. I don’t do chaos or overcrowding—safety, cleanliness, and consistency come first. Across all services, I prioritize reliability, observation, and proactive care so issues are addressed early, not after they become problems.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 50 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Valley Head. 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.
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 Valley Head 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 Valley Head.
<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 Valley Head 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.
