“We left our Oreo Maxine, once again and as we expected. He was very well taken care of and we were kept well informed. We love how she continuously keeps us updated on his wellbeing. We will definitely use her over and over again. Thanks Maxine”
“Our first time using Krista and it won’t be our last! Our sweet HoneyButter had a fabulous time! Krista was great about sending pictures and updates and our pup came home happy and healthy!”
“Jerarlin was super! Cooper took to her right away. She took us on short notice but was very accommodating. Sent some great pics of Cooper having a good time. This was our first time using Rover and Jerarlin. We will definitely use her again if she will have us.”
“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!”
“Alia is a great person who puts your dog 1st no matter what!! She has so much knowledge, understanding and empathy. I feel so blessed to have such a great sitter for my dog, Zoe. Thank you so much Alia!! LeslieAnn”
“Andrea was able to take cate of my furbabies even though it was a late booking. She did a fabulous job, sending me pictures and assuring me that all was well. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying about my pets, and they were happy and safe when I returned. I recommend her without reservation and will use her in the future. Thank you, Andrea!!”
“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!”
“Beautiful home & perfect place for my dog! Her doggies kept mine company, and so did her kids. There is so much yard space (5 acres) to run around, and Diannette and her family cared for Buttercup like their own. He seemed very content in photos she sent. Highly recommend.”
“Alexus and her family provided wonderful care for our precious puppy. Their home is clean and welcoming and she provided continuous updates throughout our dog’s stay. We would gladly go back there when the need arises and recommend her highly. Thanks Alexus”
“Isabella was awesome. She created an affectionate connection with Lola right away while we were still in her house introducing Lola to her. It was obvious to us that Lola was feeling very comfortable. Isabella kept us informed of how Lola was doing and would send pictures of her playing as well as the two of them walking during the day. There's no doubt that Isabella has a special gift for loving animals, and they seem to love her back. We were very happy and we'll for sure use her services next time we need it.”
“Feliksa has watched my dog several times since the beginning of the year. She is attentive to my dog's needs and provides a stress-free environment. I highly recommend her if you are in the Apopka area.”
“Had a great first experience using Rover thanks to Rebecca. From the initial meet and greet through the boarding, Rebecca was warm, friendly, and accommodating. She provided excellent care for my two dogs, as well as sending me several pictures and updates throughout the day. Would definitely book with Rebecca again”
“Taylor and Angel are wonderful!! They were caring and attentive to our pups needs and kept us updated her entire stay with pictures and videos. Thank you so much ladies!!”
“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.”
“Linda was fantastic we were getting married locally and our dog was in the ceremony she responded very quickly to arrange sitting him and we were very thankful he was well taken care of on our special day!”
“Brittany did a wonderful job sitting my pup! She was super communicative and was very accommodating when we needed to bring our pup over early. She also sent updates with pictures as well. Would recommend Brittany to anyone!”
“Elizabeth accommodated my Daisy when I needed someone last minute - super kind, great communication, and I could tell Daisy had a great stay with Elizabeth and her family - thank you so so much!! ❤️❤️”

Kristin is our favorite person to watch our furbabies! We’ve used her a couple times now. There’s never anything for us to worry about when we are away. We know they will be taken care of and they have so much fun anytime they go over. We will definitely use her services again and again in the future! Thank you again Kristin!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Altoona 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 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.
