“Avery agreed to watch our sweet Nim the day of & exceeded every expectation!! She worked so well with us, sent us daily updates, and welcomed Nim right into the family!”
“Caitlin and her husband did a wonderful job with Martin when we left the country for 6 days. When Martin first arrived at Caitlin’s home he had no desire to stay, but Caitlin’s husband was very patient with him and even allowed him to interact with their dog to make Martin feel comfortable before we left. When we picked Martin up you could tell he had so much fun with his new friends, and was very comfortable with Caitlin and her home. Caitlin kept us updated on how Martin was doing and sent pictures, which we looked forward to seeing when we were away from him. We have had other dog sitters and quickly made the decision that our dog would not return to thier home, but that was not the case with Caitlin and her husband. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! They are top notch! We will definitely ask Caitlin and her husband to keep Martin in the future!”
“Cathy was amazing. Helped me out in a pinch and accepted my last minute request when I was struggling to find a sitter. Great communication and lots of pics. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thanks again, Cathy!”
“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”
“Jenny is great! My dog had a blast with her and her family over thanksgiving and I love all the adorable photo updates. She is knocked out asleep from all the fun she had. Will book again!”
“Leeann has cared for our girl, Cami, on two occasions, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She provides excellent care, keeping us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Her communication is outstanding—always clear, timely, and professional. What truly sets Leeann apart is her dedication. When a snowstorm disrupted our travel plans, she didn’t hesitate to extend Cami’s stay for two extra days, ensuring she was safe and well cared for. That level of flexibility and kindness means the world to us. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loves what she does, we wholeheartedly recommend Leeann. Your fur baby will be in the best hands!”
“Flexible with scheduling and responsive, both are dogs were well taken care of and weren't anxious when we picked them up or the next day (meaning they felt comfortable there). Definitely would recommend”
“Ronald watched my puppy over a busy holiday weekend - not a small feat! He was responsive and sent updates throughout the weekend. Highly appreciated and would definitely recommend Ronald!”
“We could not have asked for a better family and experience for our puppy! We really appreciated that Erin sent us daily pictures and updates. Erin made our time away much more enjoyable because we knew our puppy was with such an excellent family!”
“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!”
“Felt completely comfortable leaving Happy with Lauren and Wynn. Loved getting pics and updates throughout our trip. Lauren and Wynn were fine with her spunky personality and relentless need for attention :) Definitely will call them again in the future!”
“Taylor was great! She was kind and gentle with Elfie. During Elfie's stay, she sent photos and text messages reassuring us that she was okay. We will be using Rover and Taylor for future needs. Scott B.”
“Leann is a fantastic dog sitter! I highly recommend Leann as a dog sitter. She recently watched my Dalmatian for a week and a half, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Leann provided constant updates with photos and videos, which really put my family’s mind at ease. It was clear from the updates that my dog felt safe and genuinely loved. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy. I will definitely be using Leann's services again in the future. She is a true gem! Rating: 5/5 stars”
“This was the first time we left Cookie with anyone but immediate family. Shauna treated her like family. She was well cared for and socialized. We very much appreciated the pictures and updates!”
“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.”
“Elisheba and her family took Ember in and were very kind. Thank you for the hospitality and the great care at a last minute notice. Ember loved the yard and enjoyed having extra people to play with her, it takes a village!”
“Our first Rover experience was a great one with Tricia! Booking was simple, communications were thorough and timely. She shared regular updates and pictures during Rosie's stay which we appreciated.”
“Bentley loved her stay and getting to play with all her other fur friends! First time my dog has been away, and she did not want to come home! Tammi does a wonderful job of protecting and loving my dog while I’m away! Can’t thank her enough! Highly recommended!”
“Jenny was awesome! We are so happy she was able to help us out last minute. Piper absolutely loved the long walks and great care Jenny provided. We received updates and pictures throughout her stay. We highly recommend!! Thank you Jenny!”

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 Pet 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.

There are 782 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alexandria. About 91% 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
