“Dana and Jason were very sweet and did a great job caring for Onyx! Dana sent lots of photos which we really appreciated. It was our first time leaving Onyx with Dana and Jason and plan on coming back!”
“We had the BEST experience with Rachel taking care of our dog for the weekend while we traveled out of state to see family. Prompt communication, friendly and greatly appreciated her going out of her way to send us all of the daily photos of our boy. Highly recommend and so happy we found her. Thanks again Rachel.”
“We were very happy with Kim. She communicates really well and is great with dogs. We were using another sitter and we would get our dog returned a hot mess— but not with Kim. She is very kind, and caters to our dog’s needs and preferences to make their stay very easy and comfortable.”
“Emily always does a great job keeping our boy when we go out of town! She keeps us in the loop as to how he is doing, with daily updates and pictures. I definitely always have peace of mind when our boy is with her. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog love his stay with Scott and Alycia. They were very accommodating, quick to communicate and sent us lots of pictures. William went on several walks, played tug with their dog and had a great time with them! Would recommend them to anyone!”
“Oscar enjoyed his stay and came home perfectly relaxed from a stress free time away from home. We were very pleased with the care he received from this family!”
“Matt and Jill took great care of our dog Luna! I was happy for her to be in a home where she was walked, had a nice dog friend, and I received daily updates. We will definitely book again!”
“Marina and Michael took excellent care of our furry baby while we went on a trip and left her for the first time ever. She sent lots of updates with pics and made it so much easier being without our girl for a week, knowing she was in good hands :-)”
“Nancy has been great with ou senior dog. She makes sure he feels comfortable and safe. Nancy takes him potty often especially because he's a senior dog. She is super flexible and has great communication. Both of her pupps do a great job with Domi as well. We will continue using her as long as she keeps Rovering.”
“Jenny was phenomenal. She was very flexible with the times on drop off and pick up. Ember was happy with the long walks and nap time right next to Jenny. We were so glad our first time back on rover was made easy and delightful. Definitely going to be asking her again!”
“Fantastic, trustworthy pet sitter. I was nervous to leave my fur baby and Jane did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and keeping me updated while I was away.”
“Tricia is the best! Our dog was having some bladder issues we didn’t know about and she was very patient and caring for him. We have used her a few times and will keep going back.”
“They were amazing with our princess. Nani is very selective with the people she warms up to, but she fit right in for a midweek slumber party! Would recommend and can’t wait to book again!”
“Five starts is not enough! Care and communication were out of this world! ❤️ Cannot say enough good things about Patricia! She loved our little guy like her own and that made our dog parent hearts so happy. She sent 30 plus photos daily with a full report on how our guy was doing. We are blown away by Patricia’s services and sad that we live in Georgia and cannot use her regularly. But she will be our top pick whwn needed”
“Kelti and Tanner are absolutely amazing! My dog had such a wonderful time playing with their two dogs! I was super nervous using Rover at first but Kelti really put my mind at ease. I know they treated Abbey like she was their own and I can’t wait to book with Kelti and Tanner again in the future. I highly recommend them - way better than boarding at a kennel! Abbey received love, attention, and plenty of play time at their house!”
“Angel was the best She provided photos everyday and did transportation back and fourth to our home. She is prompt on responding and very professional. Will definitely go to her in the future. I highly recommend her to watch your pets especially if you on a time crunch and need transportation. Thank you Angel.”

Once again, Mary and Miranda took such good care of Ollie. Ollie always comes home happy so we know that they are great with him. Ollie is a senior dog and they take all of his needs in stride and the fact that Ollie is not left alone makes it a great visit for him.
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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alexandria on Rover is $44.4 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 769 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.
91% 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.
