“She treated our animals like they were her own She was kind and sweet and took very good care of them. She shared pictures and stories with us while we were away. I will certainly trust her with my babies again.”
“I could not have chosen a better person to take care of my puppy while I was out of town! Talhia is a truly caring and empathetic person who will take in your furry friends like they are her own family. I have not seen someone more qualified for their job in a long time and I am so happy that I found her! My anxious puppy was in amazing hands and very happy the whole time, I received so many pictures and vids every day! She even was more than happy to watch her an extra 3 nights when my plans changed. 100% recommend to anyone and would book with her again of course!”
About: I grew up in the country and my dad showered me and my brother with puppies. We were in charge of raising them and making sure they always had what they needed and we did this basically our whole lives. Different breeds, different attitudes, different sizes! I’ve even raised a few in my room, I know! It was pretty smelly, but it was fun and fulfilling! I’m home mosty week days catching up with work on my laptop, so it works perfectly for me. On weekends, I’ll be able to pet sit as well. I currently don’t have any pets living in my apartment but at home we had a gated fence and would let the dogs outside to use the bathroom whenever they needed to or whenever they needed to chase a squirrel or get their zoomies out. They would mostly stay inside and eat twice throughout the day and nap with me.
“Highly recommend!! Morgan sent me photos and videos throughout the entire weekend and my dog was always playing and having fun. Her dogs were playing with my lab all weekend. I felt very comfortable knowing he was in good hands and will absolutely book with Morgan again!”
About: I have three years of dog-sitting experience, caring for everything from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. As a proud pet parent myself, I believe in showering our babies with all the love and affection their precious lives deserve. I prioritize active, joyful outdoor time, including trips to the park, long walks, and relaxing together on the back porch! I'm correctly working part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I want to be able to prioritize your pet's needs whether that looks like 1+ hour walks/ enrichment time or special feeding times and instructions. Your pets comfort is my number 1 priority. I love to go on long walks, go to the dog park, or used the fenced in dog space in my neighborhood to allow our babies the time they need to play and get the enrichment that they need. A pet is always welcome to make themselves at home in my space even if that means that I have to adapt certain things to their needs like assistance getting in bed for puppies and elder dogs or making sure that their favorite toys are always available for them to play with.
About: I am a student at the University of Alabama with a flexible schedule and a love for pooches. I have been house/dog sitting for one family for over a year. I have two sweet females that I typically do not keep with me (an adult lab and a husky puppy.) I am more than happy to visit your home to take care of your sweet fur babies. If needed, I can meet up with my two pups to ensure they will get along with any new friends if there is a chance they will meet while with me. I do not have children nor do I have any other types of pets. I don't mind dogs with high energy levels, we have plenty of room for all types of energy. I also enjoy naps.
“Mallory and her family took great care of my dog, Dottie, over the holidays! I was a little anxious that Dottie would misbehave (she has only been with me a short time and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter). Mallory was great at communicating and great with handling my sweet pup! I was totally reassured that I made the right choice choosing her. I would definitely leave Dottie with her again. I have used a number of different Rover sitters, and Mallory is my favorite!”
About: I have stayed in homes for several days caring for dogs, ensuring they received attention, exercise, and routine care. I’ve also provided traditional pet sitting services, checking in on dogs and cats, feeding them, and taking them for walks. I am extremely detail oriented and committed to following all instructions exactly as given to ensure pets remain comfortable, safe, and happy whether they are in their home environment or mine. I am a college student who has a flexible schedule! I am able to stay in homes, perform drop-in visits, or dog walk. I have also cared for cats! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, structure, and stimulation. In a client’s home, I strictly follow all instructions and respect their space while maintaining a calm and clean environment for the pet. In my own home, I ensure pets receive plenty of attention, mental stimulation, and physical activity through regular walks and playtime. I truly strive to create a comfortable setting where pets feel secure and cared for at all times!
About: I have over 12 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’m comfortable working with both large and small dogs. I have also trained dogs and have experience caring for senior dogs, including those with special needs. I am a full-time student at the University of Alabama, but I have a flexible schedule and am happy to drive to your home between classes. My classes end by 3 PM every day except Tuesday. I’m also available to take your pet out for long walks, runs, or a calm day out of the house during the day. In my home, I take my dog outside often, not just for bathroom breaks, but also to play, run, and get fresh air. I enjoy going on runs with him to help keep him active and healthy. I also like taking him on drives if they enjoy car rides. For my cats, I spend time playing with them using their toys and giving them attention. I also understand that my cats sometimes prefer to relax, so I let them have their space when they’re not in the mood to play.

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.
96% of sitters in Wood Estates 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 Wood Estates 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 Wood Estates.
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 Wood Estates. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 Wood Estates 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.
