“Janelle and Bob took very good care of Maggie. She looked happy and well cared for when we picked her up. She loved running around in their fenced in yard. We will definitely trust them with Maggie again. Highly recommend.”
“Heather did a wonderful job taking care of our puppy! She was extremely kind, responsive, and was very easy to coordinate with. Our puppy wasn’t fully trained when Heather agreed to look after him, but he returned very disciplined and well-behaved. We also loved receiving photos of him almost everyday while he was staying at Heather’s place.”
“Suzanne did such a great job keeping us informed on Mabel-daily pictures and updates! She even had a doggy birthday cake for her. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs”
“Lynda was a lucky find. She loves dogs, and has one of her own, so she only takes in one additional dog. She took excellent care of Gypsy. During our trip, she sent us several pictures of her dog with ours, and a short video of the two dogs playing together. We will definitely use her again when next we travel. And I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a kind, compassionate and expert dog-sitter. Thank you, Lynda!”
“Our puppy had a great stay with Katie while we travelled out of state! She was well taken care of and came back tired from playing with other puppy and kitty friends. We would definitely recommend Katie, thank you!”
“Great people and am amazing, spacious, SAFE place for my dog. Excellent communication. I was happy to share my dog with these exemplary, canine-loving people. Amazing experience.”
“Once again our doodle, Jaxon, had a fun time at Alina’s. He loves being outside and playing I the snow and he had plenty of opportunities with Alina. His tail was wagging when we dropped him off and he was happy to see us at pickup. We love being able to drop Jaxon off when we travel to NH.”
“Taylor was great with my dogs. I got pictures and updates every day, and she gave them plenty of outside time, and even did their hair haha. My pups didn’t want to leave! Thank you Taylor for taking such good care of my babies. I will definitely be back if I ever need a dog sitter again.”
“Andrea was excellent! Super responsive from the start and continued throughout the stay. Lots of pictures and updates as well. Her house was clean and very comfortable for pups. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing! It was our first time not using family, but she made it feel like thet were with family. We got daily updates and pictures. Excellent feedback at pickup. Most of all, peace of mind that they were with someone who would love them during our absence. Highly recommend 🥰”
“My pup had a wonderful time with Heather and her family. They took great care of him and let me know how he was doing. They were able to take him on relatively short notice which I really appreciate. Thanks!”
“Lucia was great and was very flexible when watching Chloe. We were away for two weeks and she allowed my sister, who would be watching her the other days, to drop off and pick-up and was accommodating to her tough work schedule. We appreciated that she had other dogs and a fenced in yard. The once a day updates were perfect both for keeping our minds at ease and showing us how great of a time Chloe was having. 100% would recommend!”
“Faustine did an incredible job watching our high energy Aussie she made sure to send lots of cute pictures and updates and she certainly kept up with our fast paced boy! I highly recommend her for your Future trips and vacations to watch your dog!”
“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”
“Austin & Francis took wonderful care of our 11 1/2 lab! They kept us posted constantly with photos and eased any worries we had, especially with this being our first time using the site and not a trusted family or friend. I’m so thankful for their communication and incredible care of our pup! I highly recommend them ♥️”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Alton on Rover is $41.67 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 236 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Alton. 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.
87% of Alton 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 Alton 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 Alton 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 Alton.
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 Alton 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 NH 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.
