“Jessica was fantastic with our two puppies. Took extra care to make sure our more apprehensive puppy was comfortable with his new home away from home!! Provided meaningful updates so that we didn't have to worry about our dogs. Allowed us to choose whether we wanted our dogs kenneled. Overall very positive experience and would allow Jessica to watch our dogs again without any hesitation!”
“Such a great family! They took amazing care of our Rocky and kept us updated periodically with proof that he was doing well. I would use them again in the future, hands down. ❤️”
“Chelsea was absolutely amazing with our puppy Nora. She always gave her all the attention she needed and loved Nora like she was her dog. Her family was also amazing and helped Nora get much needed socialization and playtime. I would absolutely recommend Chelsea and her wonderful family to anyone in need of any services she can offer for your pet!”
“Went above and beyond all expectations I have for my dog sitters. The dogs loved staying with them and loved hanging with their new best friend Cooper. Will definitely be rebooking with Lindaria. Thank you and Kendra again!”
“Kodie and her family were great for our Jack! She has a big, fenced backyard for dogs to play in, and she accommodated us when we needed to pick Jack up a day early. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Rachel and her family were a perfect fit for Caddy! She was very responsive and flexible to make sure Caddy was comfortable to all her needs. If you are in the Fort Novosel area I highly recommend booking with her.”
About: I’ve had multiple animals living with me my entire life. At one point I had dogs, cats, birds and ferrets living with me all at once. I’ve always had dogs and cats around me. I recently moved and have no animals. Figured I’d fill the time with some nice pets that need attention while there owner is on break. Experienced Pet Sitter – Dependable Care You Can Trust I provide professional, attentive pet-sitting services tailored to your animal’s needs. Services include feeding, exercise, litter or cage cleaning, medication, visits and regular photo updates so you stay connected. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments and prioritize enjoyment, relaxation, and routine. Fully reliable, punctual, and committed to excellent care. I’m very professional. I spent 5 years in the US military, 5 years in college and 10 years as a security officer. I have a apartment with a small back area and several parks nearby my home as well as walking trails.
“Samantha took great care of Lulu while we were out of town. She kept us updated on how Lulu was doing and sent us such cute pictures of her playing with her new friends. I definitely recommend Samantha’s services and will be using them again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of different breeds & size dogs for around 10 years now. I love animals & want to help take care of them. I have taken care of puppies, senior dogs, & ages in between. I work full time at my job. Weekends are best for me, but I can stay somewhere during the week, as long as it's not too far from my work. I also can go during my lunch to let dogs out to potty &/or check on them, as long as it's not too far from my work. I have a semi fenced in back yard. I have one dog outside & he has come inside sometimes, but hes not completelyhouse trained & I have one cat inside. They are both around 3 years old.
“I can’t recommend Acey enough! She took care of my 4-month-old Cavalier King Charles, Emmett, for 11 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Throughout his stay, she provided regular updates and photos. Emmett came home happy and well-cared for, showing how much attention and love he received. She was professional and showed genuine affection for my puppy. I will definitely be booking her again!”
“If you’re reading this review because you’re on the fence, jump off the fence and land on the side that is “pro Lyndsay.” We are 100% on this side now and couldn’t have landed a better situation. Lyndsay even gave our dog, Cali, a bath! Full disclosure, Cali had rolled in some cat poop. She’s a dog, what are ya gonna do? But Lyndsay is the patron saint of dogs as far we’re concerned. Thanks again, Lyndsay!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d 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 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 Wicksburg 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 Wicksburg 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 Wicksburg.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wicksburg. On Rover:

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 Wicksburg 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll 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.
