“Kelly was great with our dog Bear! She was communicative throughout the whole process and put our minds at ease while we were away by sending pictures and video. Her dog was an added bonus since Bear doesn’t get too much exposure to friends. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Chelsea and Derek were Amazing! They were so accommodating and sweet to my dog Isabel. Even after Isabel got sick for a few days they were very professional and empathetic. I will be going back for sure.”
“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“Sierra is an awesome sitter!! My Bentley loves her and she takes really good care of him when she has him, and he is always happy when she sends me pictures of him. I would recommend her to anyone😊”
“Jenn and Brian were absolutely amazing. My first time leaving Leai and she had the time of her life. They sent pics and videos of her to let us know she was behaved and happy. Can't wait to use them again”
“Jordy had a wonderful time at Mindy’s- he even became friends with her cat! He was happy to be home but I’m betting he would gladly go back. I’d happily ask Mindy to care for him again.”
“I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it was to have Bev. She was watching my dog during this last snow event and not only did she reassure me because I couldn’t get back in time (plane cancelled) that she would gladly keep her as long as needed she went to the store and bought more of her dog food as I didn’t send enough. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It certainly made me feel great that my dogs care was one less thing I had to worry about. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars.”
“Jessie took great care of my puppy Archie. He sent pictures and it was obvious Archie was having a great time. He has a nice yard and the dogs get to play outside a lot, too.”
“My cat Vlad was well taken care of and loved with Julio! I got consistent updates and pictures of how he was doing during his stay, and would recommend Julio to anyone needing a trust worthy sitter for their furry friend! I’m excited to continue using his services in the future!”
“I am great full to Dana and Jeremy for taking such good care of Samantha. I loved the daily updates and photos of Samantha. They reassured me that she was happy and that I could relax and enjoy my vacation. I will definitely use Rover again.”
“Annalisa is amazing! She watched two dogs for us, one of which was a puppy in heat, and she was absolutely fantastic. She even changed and washed her diaper multiple times! Annalisa was also incredibly flexible with scheduling, which really separates her from the pack. She has a true passion for dogs, and it's wonderful to be able to leave your furry friends with someone you can trust. We will absolutely be using her for all of our future dog-watching needs!”
“Sarah was awesome! She was available on a pretty short notice and sent me photos and updates throughout the weekend. Sarah and her family are all dog lovers and very friendly. I highly recommend her and if I'm ever in need of a dog sitter again, she's first on my list! Thanks again Sarah!”
“Erika and her husband took fantastic care of my little senior chihuahua. They made sure he got all his medicine and special diet. I knew he was in the right place when he seemed so comfortable at their house. ( He is generally very shy around new people and pets.) He got his daily walks in their fenced yard. It was very comforting to know he had a secure place to wander around since his vision and hearing is impaired. They are also genuinely sweet people who obviously love animals. Also fantastic that they are generally home during the day to supervise the pets. A+++ experience. Will definitely use their services in the future!”
“Monica is the best. The dogs love her and we will trust her with our puppers for any time we need a pet sitter. She was extremely communicative- texts, videos, pictures- and we couldn't have asked for better.”
“Jin, was very friendly and very communicative. She treated my baby girl like her own. She took my booking at the last minute, I thank her for that. Highly recommended!”
“I don’t think this could’ve gotten any better She accepted my request and it was a last minute thing She sent me photos of him being comfortable I mean truly amazing I love my dog more then anything and was super worried and she took that stress off my shoulder by doing an awesome job”
“Georgia and her husband were amazing! They treated Olivia like a member of their family. They sent daily photos, worked on training, went for multiple walks, and played with her all the time. I will certainly use Georgia next time I need to leave my puppy at home! Thanks so much!! 🐶❤️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alden on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 323 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Alden sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Alden landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alden 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 Alden.
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.
You and your Alden 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 NY 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.
