“This was a day visit to see how our boy (Coyote) and she got along. He is an older dog with severe arthritis especially in his hips and knees. She was very attentive to Coyote’s physical restrictions. She provided cute photos and updates even though this was just a day/trial visit. He will be going back in a month for an overnight to see how he does. I don’t anticipate any problems. Thank you Elizabeth!”
“Luna had a great time and was very well cared for! It's such a relief to know your pup is in good hands while away. It was also so nice to receive daily photos/video. Thank you and we hope to be back!”
“Kristy is amazing. Burns is always so happy to arrive at her front door! She treats all her pup-guests like they are her own. She’s also fantastic and so accommodating when plans change and you either need to extend or shorten your trip. Thanks for living my FurBaby!”
“Jessica came through again. We had to leave a day early and Jessica flexed to take Sully. Then our return trip had unexpected delays and she stepped up last minute to keep our boy an extra night. We are so appreciative for her support. Our boy loves his time with Jessica and her family, especially his buddy Tucker!”
“Lucas was great! He was accommodating, kind, and Mia seemed super happy to have Lucas’s dog as a friend ❤️Also had a backyard where the dogs could run in and out of the house. Thanks!”
“Kathy kept my mini Aussie for 4 days while I was out of town and cared for him as if he were her own! He was happy and tuckered out when I picked him up....a huge relief for me!! She is a gem and I would use her exclusively for my sweet pup!!”
“Elexis was wonderful with Synna. She was kind, responsive, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. Synna was well cared for, and I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone needing a reliable sitter.”
“We really appreciate Joseph taking care of Teddy. Teddy didn't want to leave when we picked him up. Its always hard to leave your pet but Joseph made us feel at ease instantly.”
“Tami was wonderful with my young rescue who had separation anxiety. Tami has extensive experience with different personalities and I am grateful for her patience and understanding of my dog.”
“Holly was absolutely amazing ! And definitely willl be using her again if we go out of town ! She was very very great at updates about our boy with pictures and texts to let us know how he was eating or sleeping and was beyond accommodating when it came to his eating times and how he slept and made him beyond comfortable!! Our boy had so so so much fun with holly and her family and treated sawyer like one of their own ! I can’t express really how amazing she is and would highly recommend her to sit for you !!!!”
“She was great!! She was so reassuring when she found out I was boarding my dog for the first time and she was so attentive and kept me updated the whole time! Loved her!”
“Melissa exceeded my expectations! Yumi doesn’t usually feel comfortable around people she doesn’t know, but she absolutely loved Melissa from day one. Melissa kept me updated throughout her stay, including her meals, walks, treats, and how she slept at night. Everything went so smoothly, and I felt completely at ease knowing Yumi was in such good hands. I’ve had other experiences on Rover, but Melissa is definitely the best sitter we’ve had. I’m sure Yumi is already looking forward to staying with her again soon! 🐾❤️”

“This was Honiee’s first time staying with someone outside of family and Lauryn did an amazing job! She sent lots of picture/video updates making this experience a lot less nerve wracking. I’ve already rebooked!”

Viviana took great care of my dog and provided many pictures of Goose exploring her property. I could tell that he was enjoying himself while staying with Viviana. She did an excellent job in communicating with me when I was delayed in my return. I will be using her when I go on my next adventure.
Jacob was amazing and we are so lucky to have found him to watch our boy, Monte! I picked Monte up after the visit and he almost didn't want to leave Jacob, which made me know that Jacob did a great job of loving and taking care of Monte! I'd recommend Jacob highly to anyone looking for pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alcoa is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $54 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 of October 2026, there are 401 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alcoa. 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.
95% of sitters in Alcoa 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 Alcoa home-away-from-home, 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 Alcoa.
<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 Alcoa 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 , 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 .
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 TN 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.
