“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.”
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
“Angel is wonderful and I would definitely recommend her! She provided half a day of care for our fur baby while we were at the Ark Encounter. It was a last moment request for our spur of the moment plans — she responded quickly and professionally. She was available and willing even though it was for the next day/Saturday morning. Being within a 30 minute drive from The Ark Encounter was a huge bonus for us. We arrived with our 6 lb., 6 year old Yorkie and she showed immediate comfort being around Angel and her young child. We asked that children not have unsupervised time alone with our fur baby as she is small, delicate and can express anxiety — Angel assured us she would be careful, give our pup her own bedroom with the door closed for quiet time, and take her for walks herself. She checked in with us during the stay, and when we arrived to pick up, our fur baby was calm, not expressing any anxiety and was well cared for (we do raw feeding and Angel had no issue keeping the container of food nuggets refrigerated and feeding at the correct time). Angel was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable leaving our fur baby in her care. I would highly recommend her. 5 +stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“This was our first time using a Rover and Kelti was absolutely amazing! Our pup Willow had such a good time and was well taken care of. We appreciated all the updates and photos Kelti provided. We would definitely rebook with her again!”
“Lauren and Wynn were so wonderful with my 3-month-old puppy, Remy!! They took such great care of him and sent me photos and updates every single day. Remy also had a great time with their dog, Rocky. He didn’t want to come home. Will definitely choose Lauren and Wynn next time I go away!”
“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.”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“As always, Mike and Amanda were amazing! Moose is still sleeping because he had such a great time playing and visiting! Mike and Amanda accepted on such a last minute impromptu mini vacation, and I was thrilled to have them again! I can't wait to have them watch my boy for our summer vacation! They are absolutely wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Until next time!👋”
“Jane was wonderful with Penny. Our dog was feeling separation anxiety and she was so kind and patient. She sent lots of pictures and I felt very good about leaving her with Jane. This is our second time using Jane and I’d definitely use her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Ms. Amy was very welcoming! She has a huge space for the doggos to play after being in their designated kennel. Although I was skeptical about the kennel placement for my puppers (because my dog hadn’t been in a kennel for about a year), she brought ease when she sent lots of pictures of my Mocha’s outings! Amy provided lots of information in regards to arrival to her place, accommodated as I needed and also provided information regarding the cleanliness of the kennels. My Mocha had a great time with Ms Amy and the pack!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“This was the first time we used Rover and we were so pleased to find Karen. She was a great communicator and made leaving our dog easy! I highly recommend her.”
“Avery and her family did great with our boys! She was super responsive, and sent us updates and pictures while we were out of town. So glad to know our boys were in good hands. Will definitely use her again!”
“Ruth was amazing with our senior dog Alex. We needed a last minute sitter and Ruth was able to accommodate us, which was a life saver, and we were able to enjoy our vacation. Alex is a huge part of our family and it was so relieving to find someone like Ruth to watch her.”
“Michelle is the nicest pet sitter I never met before, she keep us updated with tons of photos every day and let us feel extremely safe when we are not close to my dog. My dog looks happy through out the stay and eat exactly what I told her to feed. Before she give my dog treats, she even texted us and asked us if it is okay to give him this and that. I would highly recommend her as your pet sitter no matter long or short stay.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alexandria
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!

There are 783 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alexandria. About 92% of Alexandria sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
