“We were really happy with the care Kodiak received during her stay. We loved the picture updates and hearing what she was up to while we were gone.

About: What makes me a good pet sitter is that I treat every pet like they are part of my own family. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs, so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and I give every pet plenty of care and one-on-one attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet, but to make sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for every day. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. I make time each day for feeding, walks, playtime, attention, and keeping their space clean. I’m organized with my schedule, so I can provide consistent and dependable care while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who can provide company for your fur baby if they are comfortable around other dogs. I can easily crate your dog if needed and will follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in my home or in my client’s home, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions or routines your pet may have.
About: I will provide the "home away from home." So you can focus on work or your own vacation. Caution: They may be returned to you spoiled. I’m retired and will make it a top priority to give love and attention to my furry guests. Potty breaks every 2-3 hours. I am currently only watching dogs 15 lbs. and below. Fenced in on two decks and a small side yard. *** additionally we use pee pads in our living room. Opportunities to “go”. 2 fenced decks with AstroTurf potty area Small fenced area in side yard. ***pee pads are currently provided in the living room.

“Matthew and his family always treat Oakley like one of their own. Leaving him with Matthew gives me peace of mind that I know he will be taken care of and I don’t have to worry. Always excellent!”

Our pups loved the big fenced-in backyard and playing with the other dogs! Miranda & Mary were great with our 2 dogs (one still a puppy) while we were on a week long vacation. We got photos and updates, and felt that they were happy, safe and content while we were away.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Alexandria is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $56 per night.

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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria.
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 Alexandria 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 KY 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.
