“Hannah did such a great job with our German shepherd, I’m so glad we found her and we will definitely use her going forward! Great communication and very pleasant to deal with! Thanks so much for taking great care of our girl!”
“Janice was a very good communicator and provided me with many updates - including pictures - as she watched my pup. I was very comfortable with her caring for my pup. I would employ her again for sure!”
“Primrose had a good time at Kellie's playing with her two chihuahuas and running around their large fenced in backyard. She was a tired happy puppy when we got her home. Thank you for giving Rosie a home away from home for the weekend! :)”
“Khaila was amazing in every way. Great communicaiton. Met the dogs quickly after a request to ensure compatibility. Took amazing care of my two labradors, and kept me up to date on their daily activities, and is just a kind person. I would HIGHLY recommend booking her if you need help with your pets!”
“Ashley was EXCEPTIONAL! Not only did she squeeze me in last minute, it was immediately apparent that she was highly skilled and detail oriented. My dog is fairly large and can be stubborn. The vibes were mellow and welcoming at Ashley’s. My dog got out of the car and sniffed about wagging his tail, good sign! Her disposition and friendly nature was not only felt by me, but also my pup ;) Ashley handled him as if he was a lapdog! I received countless photos. She took him swimming and for long walks and he slept in her home. I picked my dog up at her house and he was not anxious to hop in the truck. He simply ran around her yard and pranced about as if he was at an old friend’s house! I rarely ever send him to a kennel as I’ve noticed he is rambunctious and desperate for attention. Upon pick up he was as calm and happy as he was at an old friend’s house. By saying, “ I highly recommend Ashley as a pet sitter” is an understatement. Tip top service, no question. I look forward to using her services in the future. Give her a call. ;) 10 stars!!!!”
“Mia was well cared for by the whole family. They were available on short notice over a holiday. They accommodated my crazy schedule for pick up and drop off. Mia had plenty of new friends to play with. Thank you so much for your good care of my Mia”
“Diana was absolutely amazing with Nash! I can’t wait to use her services again! Nash went on plenty of walks her property is a dogs heaven. She sent so many pictures and updates! Truly the best possible experience!”
“Thanks for taking Toby into your home and making him feel so comfortable while we were away! I appreciated all the pictures and updates and felt we were kept in the loop the entire time. I would highly recommend!”
“Katie was great with drop off and pickup. She administered Clover’s meds and was quick to get back to me when I communicated with her. She was also very flexible with my late pickup when plans changed, and I really appreciate that.”
“Our dog, Dwight, had a fantastic stay with Jeanne! She made him feel right at home. We especially loved the daily updates and photos. Dwight will definitely visit again!”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our 6 month old puppy with Nicholas! He was responsive to all my questions and sent pictures every day! He took great care of our bulldog’s special skin care needs. Our puppy had so much fun and was well taken care of! She was truly treated as part of their family for the week! I feel relieved to have found such a great pet sitter and will certainly book with Nicholas again!”
“Kseniia was amazing with our dog. It was his first time being away from us for an extended period of time and she went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. He was def on high alter in a new place, but she was so patient with him! I also really appreciated the daily pics and videos and her patience with us as our flights got changed and cancelled multiple times.”
“Trisha and her family have been exceptional hosts for our Peanut. This stay was extended for a full week. We received regular updates and photos during our vacation which settled our mind and made us very comfortable”
“Our two dogs were very comfortable and happy there. One of our dogs has a lot of anxiety and does not like many people at all. She was very happy with Spencer and Emily. they obviously really love dogs! We highly recommend them!”
“Peter is great! Excellent communication. He is prompt in responding to questions around availability. Very accommodating as far as setting up a meet and greet. My dog Lola immediately took to Peter and his adorable dog Zeffy. Which is saying something because she is very cautious with new people and situations. Lola really enjoyed spending time with her new friends and I will definitely be using Peter again.”
“First of all, let me start by saying this couple is by far one of the nicest families I’ve met out here. Last minute booking and they welcomed my pup with open arms. Cassidy and Cody kept me up to snuff with day to day life while I was away and even sent pictures of them on adventures. They took great care of my pup and their sweet kids spoiled him with hourly cuddles and brushes so he came home looking like a million bucks. Thank you to the entire family for taking such great care of my boy. Aloha”
“Highly recommend Janelle and her husband. They took very good care of cinnaman! He was very calm and comfortable when we picked him up. They have a nice fenced in backyard and a nice neighborhood for walks.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alfred
Connor was great with our dog Bolt! This was our first time going through the app, she made it very easy. We were bringing Bolt to a boarding place nearby but would always feel very on edge and worrying while on vacation. He would come home from the boarding place and his elbows were very rough and red and he would be so thirsty. I picked him up from Connor and he was fine, like he never left home. He was a little tired but that’s to be expected going to a new place. Connor’s house was clean and she has a very nice yard and large covered porch she sat under with him. She was easy to communicate with and flexible. As soon as I met her and she met my dog, I knew we were going to be good! I plan to bring him to her again soon and will continue to for as long as I can!
We are so grateful to Connor for taking such amazing care of Bear while we were in Maine for our wedding! From the moment we dropped him off, Bear was happy and comfortable, especially on her beautiful deck and lawn. Connor took great care of him throughout his stay and even made sure Bear was picture-ready on our wedding day! Thanks to her, we were able to have Bear be a part of our big day without having to worry about him, and that is something we will always be grateful for. Connor was wonderful, and we would absolutely book with her again.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alfred on Rover is $38.85 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 393 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alfred. 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.
95% of Alfred 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 Alfred 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 Alfred 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 Alfred.
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 Alfred 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 ME 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.
