“Kristin was great and worked with me in my last minute booking. She gave updates and photos, and Aubrey is still sleeping since coming home. I can tell she had a great time and was taken care of. Thank you!”
“Bridgie and Charly had a Great stay for 7 days with Jerarlin and her pups. Charly developed an ear infection and I was able to send meds quickly via Amazon. Jerarlin administered drops and wipes daily and he felt better quickly. My pips love hanging out in the large, fenced in yard. Thanks!”
“They took such good care of Mijo while we went on a trip out of town. Got daily videos and updates. Mijo was such a happy doggy with their doggies. I think he has his first crush haha. Thank you again”
“We had a fantastic experience with Alexus! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire process so easy. We probably overwhelmed her with a bunch of information about our dogs, but she handled everything perfectly. We loved receiving pictures of Webster and Charlotte and felt completely at ease knowing they were well-loved. We are very thankful and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Dianette kept our fur baby Stormy while my family and I went on vacation. It was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter. I was a bit nervous but my dog had a great time with her dogs and loved her family. Dianette’s home has lots of outdoor space to offer. I could tell my dog felt safe and at home. Dianette has great communication, she provided daily updates and photos while we were away. Dianette is amazing and highly recommended.”
“Carolina was absolutely amazing!!! Zoe just loved her family and her pups!! Our Zoe is just a puppy and came home learning how to sit and is already so much more obedient. We will definitely be using her again in the near future!! Thank you so much Carolina for loving on our pup and making her feel at home!!!”
“Taylor and Angel did amazing with our little guy. We got pictures with fun captions daily, they got back to me within minutes every time I reached out, and you could tell they loved him like their own. I'm so grateful to have a place I feel safe about taking our Hagrid whenever we have to leave town. I would highly recommend them if you are considering. The best of the best!”
“At first, I was apprehensive about leaving my pet alone, but Michael went above and beyond to reassure me that everything was fine. He provided consistent communication throughout the stay and even sent pictures. Thank you for taking such great care of our pet!”
“Isabella was amazing. She took care of my two small dogs for six days. I got daily pictures, sometimes more. and they were so happy. She was quick to respond to messages. If I lived in the area I would be hiring her on the regular. Best dog sitter we have had.”
“Nikhol is wonderful! She is so caring with my pup! She was able to train him in ways I could not. If you want your dog in a family friendly environment, I highly recommend Nikhol. I could have not been happier!”
“Kaitilin was wonderful with our dog, Honey. We felt very comfortable leaving her in the caring, calm, and comfortable environment Kaitilin provided. She was great with updates and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing Honey was in good hands. We hope to book with Kaitilin again in the future. Thank you!”
“Linda took care of Charlie and Gus for 12 days. When we picked them up they were healthy and happy! She kept us informed and sent pictures and we will definitely book again. Thanks Linda! Great job!”
“We are immensely appreciative and pleased with the care Dennis and Adriana have given to our baby, Romeo. Romeo is 15+ years old and blind, therefore, needs special care and attention. Finding the right person to care for our baby when we travel can be stressful. Dennis and Adriana have proven to be an excellent choice. We highly recommend them and will opt for their services again to look after our fur baby in the future.”
“Andrea is fantastic and super easy to work with! She has a lovely home and property. My dogs adjusted so well and quickly there and Andrea made them feel so right at home. I will definitely be a repeat customer! Thank you so much Andrea for taking such good care of my kids!!”
“Super sweet, lots of communication. I felt super comfortable leaving my baby. I got picture mail throughout, and could tell she and her family genuinely love and care about animals. Will definitely be using again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Altoona on Rover is $38.85 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 1,269 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Altoona. 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.
97% of Altoona 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 Altoona 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 Altoona 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 Altoona.
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 Altoona 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 FL 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.
