“Christine was a great sitter for Alfie. He had such a fun time running the yard and having a buddy to hang out with. Christine gave good updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend!”
“Janelle is outstanding. We have used rover in many states during our travels through the last several years as full time travelers and Janelle is the best!! Great communication and care. Would seek her out whenever possible.”
“Always a great experience leaving our Golden with Emily! Great communication, updates and pictures throughout our trips. They treat him like one of the family. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Happy to have found someone close to home to make our travels a little less stressful.”
“We absolutely love Sheri and her family! They take such good care of Junebug and we feel she is in such good hands! Puggy is a wonderful bonus as well! We can truly relax and enjoy our time away knowing that Junebug is so happy!”
“This was Pac's first time with a sitter that wasn't a family member or a friend. I am extremely pleased with the care that was given to my fur baby. Would absolutely use their services again and recommend that you do the same 😊”
“Ashleigh is incredible! She went above and beyond to make my pup feel at home while we were out of town. Throughout his stay, we received pictures and updates of walks, cuddles, treats and lots of play-time! I will definitely be using her again.”
“Jayme was great in coming through after I had a last minute cancellation! It was very clear from the moment I dropped miles off that he would be spoiled all week. Her entire family was great with him, and definitely kept him busy. Loved the updates throughout the week as well! Will definitely book again!”
“David provided the best care for our 2 pups! We were away for 2 weeks in which time David kept us updated on the well being of our dogs. He is a conscientious pet care provider 🐾🐾”
“Brenda did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog. My dog has epilepsy and he was so comfortable at her house she had no problems. I recommend Brenda to everyone. My dog got walks and lots of love. She received her medication on time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Anne and her family were so kind to watch my pup Dune last minute after our original dog sitting plans for vacation fell through. We did an initial met/greet to ensure our dogs got along and Dune loved playing with the other pups. Communication with daily updates and photos was awesome! Kenneling overnight. We were so grateful for your flexiblity and help! Thank you all for taking such great care of my boy :)”
“My pup had some issues while boarding but Chelsea was great taking care of him while we were away and handled the situation professionally and lovingly. Thanks Chelsea!”
“Susan cared for my timid Golden while I had surgery. It's so good to have someone that I trust to love and care for my companion while I'm not available. One less stress!”
“Laura and her husband came through again! On Frieda’s second stay, she hopped right out of the car and moseyed happily up to the door without hesitation, a clear sign she felt comfortable and safe. If she hadn’t, we know she would have stayed put in the car. The photo updates showed the same story: a happy, smiling Frieda. I really appreciate Laura and Mark’s flexibility and their willingness to welcome her back on short notice.”
“Our golden retriever always has the best time at Caroline’s! She sends updates and photos during his stay and gives him all the love! We will always request her to babysit him if she is available. Thank you!”
“Amy and Mia are great. Both were wonderful hosts for our dog Ellie. She loved her time with them. Amy was very accommodating to Meet & Greet with us on short notice and made us feel at ease. Amy is very personable and we enjoyed talking with her. Ellie felt like she was HOME away from home and got to hang with another furry friend. What fun!! Ellie was walked and well taken care of during her stay. We received updates and photos. We were blessed to have found such a caring sitter for Ellie. Thank you.”
About: I’m 24 and have been around dogs my entire life, so caring for pups has always been a natural part of my life! I have a 5-year-old St. Bernard/Poodle mix named Grover, who is friendly, playful, and gets along well with other dogs. I live in a house with a fully fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely play, explore, and get some energy out. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family—with lots of attention, love, walks, playtime, and of course, plenty of cuddles! 🐶💕 I work a full-time 8–5 job, but I have a flexible hybrid schedule! I work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, so I’m home with your pets for most of the day on those days. I’m typically in the office Tuesday and Friday and am usually gone from around 7:30 AM–5:30 PM. Outside of work hours, I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention! For overnight stays, I’m happy to make sure your pets are comfortable and have everything they need while you’re away. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine as much as possible. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, bedtime routines, and anything else your pet needs. I’ll give them plenty of attention and affection while also respecting their personality and boundaries—whether they’re an energetic pup who loves to play or a couch potato who prefers to cuddle! When pets stay in my home, they’ll have access to a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and lots of love and attention. My dog Grover is friendly and enjoys having other dogs around. When staying in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Highly Recommended! Melanie went above and beyond to make our toy poodle welcomed and comfortable when we boarded him for our trip! I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and even a fun video. Melanie is prompt, reliable and trustworthy!! She treats your dog like her own. When we came back from our trip, Tucker was happy and relaxed. Thank you again for everything!! Sheryl P.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alaska
Some people are truly just animal people and Emily is one of them! I felt confident booking her as an out of town booking because of how knowledgeable, flexible, and understanding she was over the phone. Her house is a paradise for pups, right on the lake with a big yard to run and play in and is conveniently located close to the airport for those traveling! She followed all of my care instructions perfectly and when I picked up my dog he was so happy and tired from all the playtime. Thank you Emily!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alaska is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 494 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alaska. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
96% of sitters in Alaska 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 Alaska 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 Alaska.
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 Alaska. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 Alaska 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 MI 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.
