“This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with everything. The Stamms are so nice and took great care of Charlie. They sent us updates and pictures during his stay. He was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up! Usually we get the cold shoulder and ignored when we bored him… but not this time! We will definitely be booking with the Stamms in the future. It’s so refreshing and reassuring knowing our pet is safe and taken care of when we are out of town.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She came in clutch after a really poor experience with another Rover sitter— Chloe in Cincinnati…my first EVER Rover booking, who canceled us at the last minute (3 days before our 3 night stay) because we requested a meet and greet. But Rachel, welcomed us with open arms, 3 days before we needed a 3 night stay. She immediately offered a meet and greet and made time for us to come by with Honey! She took & sent pictures of Honey throughout her stay and assured me she was having fun. She gave my sweet girl lots of love, and I was able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas with my boy without a worry at all. Thank you, Rachel, for treating Honey like a part of your family. Your kindness and reassurance my puppy was doing well, gave me a whole different impression of Rover. We appreciate YOU!!”
“I feel so grateful for Kim watching my dog, Ollie. She obviously loves dogs and takes wonderful care of them. Ollie likes socializing with the other dogs but he’s older and likes relaxing too. Kim’s house is a relaxing clean atmosphere for the dogs to play and can go outside when they need to. Love how she has gated the front door so no little one escapes. She sent photos and texts showing me he is content. Hopefully Kim will be available again when we go on a trip.”
“Alycia & Scott were awesome! Montey came back a very happy pup who appeared to have had his own little holiday! Montey can be quite nervous but Alycia made sure he (and I!) felt comfortable before leaving! We are so grateful for the regular updates and Alycia really took the time to read my (rather long!) bio on Montey before we arrived so she was fully clued up! Montey found a great friend in Stella too and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Abbie did such an amazing job! Our dog means the world to us and she took great care of our boy! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for quality care for their fur kids.”
“Finn left Holly’s worn out and with a new best friend! Getting pictures of Finn and Millie together made us feel so happy knowing he was having a good time while we were away. We will definitely be using Holly again!”
“Jenny was absolutely wonderful! Our first time using rover and she made us feel so confident that Stella was in great hands during our time away. She sent regular updates and photos every day, it was clear Stella trusted her very much!”
“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“Hailey was very quick to respond and very accommodating for my dogs to board with her over the weekend. She already had crates at her home for my dogs, which made the process a lot easier not having to pack so much. I even reached out to her the afternoon I was supposed to pick them up and asked if she could keep them till the next morning instead, and without hesitation she changed my booking for my convenience. Very thankful for her flexibility and taking care of my boys.”
“Patricia was amazing with Sadie!! Daily updates, lots of walks, and plenty of love. Recommend her to anyone who is leaving town for a few days and needs someone to trust!!”
“From the moment we met Jane, we knew our fur baby was in the best hands. She sent pictures in the morning and in the evening took him on various doggy trips. He got walks multiple times a day, and always look content in his pictures. We feel grateful that we found such a great giver of love for our pooch. We recommend Jane highly for your pooches dog sitting needs!”
“Deana was wonderful. Louie liked Deana and family so much he hesitated when it was time to come home. lol! Deana gave updates, pictures, and videos of Louie throughout his stay and treated him like he was part of the family. Louie was sick prior to his stay and they closely monitored his health.”
“This was our second time leaving our pups with Avery and her family and we couldn't be happier! The dogs are well cared for and everything is packed up nicely and ready for us upon our return.”
“Sadie and Lola had the best stay!! The updates were great and we loved receiving pictures of our girls! Nothing is better than the reassurance knowing pups are in the best care!! My girls will be back soon!!”
“I appreciate Tasha and Joseph’s calm nature and loads of experience. They are not only sweet people but confident caretakers! Definitely feel confident when my dog is with them that she is in good hands.”
“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alexandria
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.
Jobe and his girlfriend were amazing with our 2 dogs! We went out of town for a week and were very nervous about boarding them, but it worked out so well. Jobe sent multiple photo/video updates each day, which I didn’t have to ask for and I absolutely loved getting! It gave me peace of mind that our pups were happy and being given the attention we hoped they would get. They were so worn out from how much fun they had when we picked them up. He even sent them home with a new toy, even though they broke one of his. I will definitely be asking Jobe to watch our babies again in the future! Thank you for loving our dogs like your own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alexandria on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 766 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alexandria. 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.
93% of Alexandria 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria 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 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 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 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.
