âTatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and thatâs saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, Iâll definitely be booking again when Iâm in the area!!!â
âThey were amazing!! Super attentive, caring and kept us updated with pictures the whole time. Our pets were happy and well take care of. Weâll definitely book with them again. Highly recommend!! đž âď¸ âď¸ âď¸ âď¸ âď¸â
âOur puppy always feels at home with Jessica. Itâs clear that Jessica deeply cares for the dogs she takes care of and we are very grateful. Jessica is our first call whenever we go out of town. Cannot recommend enough.â
âDoug did an amazing job with our puppy. He was very gentle and kind with her. It was our first time using Rover and first time leaving her for the weekend and I can honestly say I didnât worry a bit. Highly recommend Doug and hope to use his services again.â
âKordell is great with Bella! I use him for all of Bellaâs boarding. If you want excellent service for your fur baby, Kordell is the one I recommend.đđ˝đâ
âWe feel so blessed to have "met" Shay & Zach! Our dog had so much fun playing with their dogs and I loved getting text message photos while we were away. Our flight was a bit later than expected and they had no problem with us picking our dog up at 9:45 pm. Also, I accidentally booked an extra day and didn't notice- Shay brought this to my attention and refunded us! I 100% trust them with our dog and already have multiple other stays booked with them! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!â
âOur golden retriever absolutely loved his visit with Jonathan and his family. He could not have been a more perfect host and it was really nice to have a previous golden retriever owner as a Rover host.â
âWe received Exception service from Ray, my dog Diesel boarded for 7 days and Ray sent us pictures and videos every day of his playtime and downtime Ray's daughter and Diesel became best friends!!! when we picked our dog Diesel up Ray made sure to give us back all the items we gave him for the care of Diesel just know we will definitely be boarding Diesel with Ray and his Family again real soon. Thanks again Rayâ
About: Hello! My name is Anna Kate. I am a current student at Auburn University studying veterinary pharmacy and I work at Auburnâs veterinary hospital part time. I attended high school at Hewitt-Trussville High School and graduated with an Honors diploma, and then went on to graduated from Auburn with an undergrad in Biomedical Sciences! Throughout my life, I have loved spending time with animals, and I have a standard poodle named Sully, and a rescue pup named Winnie! My love for all animals has led me to helping others care for their pets! I have plenty of experience with a wide variety of animals including cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, geckos, guinea pigs, frogs, and etc! I have also taken care of all life stages of animals from just a few days old to all the way to senior aged! In my free time during the summers, I also volunteer my time at the local animals shelters and have fostered both kittens and puppies through Care Humane Society! Iâve grown up around dogs all my life and try to provide the best care possible to ensure a happy and healthy life for them. I have a lot of experience with cats as well. I am willing to take care of any pet, and want to provide a great experience for both the owner and pet! In my household, I keep my personal pers crated when left alone or separate them from any other pets via a pet gate. When at a clients house, I follow any of their rules on whether to crate their pet or not. However, whenever I take a dog walking they will always be leashed for their safety.
âShelby is the best! Ron loved hanging out with her all week. She kept us updated everyday and answered all our questions promptly. She made our first experience with Rover fantastic! Would 1000% recommend!!â
âWade & Morgan were fantastic hosts for our dog Boone over Memorial Day Weekend. Boone had a ball playing with their dog Atlas for 3 days. Wade and Morgan sent pictures and provided updates everyday. Would highly recommend!â
âSarah is the best! This is the first time we have used Rover and Sarah exceeded expectations! We received photo updates of our dog during her stay. Pancake came back a very happy girl!â
About: I have grown up with animals of all kinds! When I was born I had two dogs and a cat! I have taken care of pretty much all types of breeds! I love animals so much that I almost became a vet! I currently work a full time job Monday-Friday, but if local I can come let dogs out during my lunch break! I also have a 2 year old German shorthair pointer who loves to meet new friends I currently have a fenced in yard but that doesnât stop my dog and I. She has been trained on e-collar and recall, but we also are good with leashes! I can also take dogs anywhere with my safety backseat canopy for dogs!
âKatherine was wonderful with Annie while I was away for a week! She sent lots of pictures and regular updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Annie was happy and well taken care of. It was clear that she genuinely cared about her and treated her like her own. I would absolutely use Katherine again and highly recommend her!â
About: Iâve been around both large and small dogs my whole life. I fostered Dogâs when I live in Ohio and I had 3 acres. My sister has 5 dogs and 4 cats and a lizard. I used to take care of them all the time while she worked. I used to have a special needs dog that I took care of before cancer took him from me in 2019. I have 2 dogs right now. One was a foster fail, lol. I am a mother with another job so my schedule is all over the place, but I make it work. I can watch over night occasionally. When caring for pets in the clientâs home, I will do what is needed to keep the pet safe and happy. Walks, play time, I can administer meds if needed, crate if needed, cuddles, etc. whatever you need.
âHolly did an excellent job caring for my dog, from beginning to end! She made sure my pup was comfortable in her home and with her dog, and based on the interactions I saw in person and via video/photos, I have no doubt she treated my dog just like her own! She was super conscientious about removing toys my dog would likely chew/eat, and followed my "rules" about treats and food! It's evident she loves dogs and has experience caring for them, and that made it easy for me to leave my pup in her care!â
âThank you Ashley! Ashley was very nice and took good care of my dog. She sent pictures and updates every day. She took her walking and played with her. She treated my baby like she was one of her own. I will definitely be using Ashley again soon.â

As of November 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vandiver. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Vandiver can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Vandiver 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 Vandiver.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vandiver. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Vandiver sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. Youâll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
