“We were really pleased with Kristin! She kept us updated on our pup and she was very accommodating! We will definitely recommend her to others and will use her services in the future! Thank you Kristin”
“Maxine is very personable and professional. We had the honor of leaving our beloved Oreo in her care for 2 weeks not only did she keep us updated with photos and videos, but, she also responded to each and every text message we sent, even sending us unsolicited texts on Oreo's care & appetite pattern. She was very warm and attentive to his needs and our concerns. We highly recommend her, if you are seeking someone that is going to love and care for you fur baby just as you do. We will definitely be using her again in May and thereafter‼️ Thank you so much Maxime my Husband, Me & Oreo greatly appreciate you & your service.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the care my dog Blue received! He stayed for a full week and had the best time, he got to play with other dogs, and it was clear he was having so much fun. I got daily updates (which I really appreciated!) and could tell he was in such good hands the whole time. She truly treated him like her own, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our pups received! My favorite part was getting updates twice a day, complete with adorable photos so we could see how they were doing. They always looked so happy, and it’s clear they had an absolute blast. Knowing they were in such great hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Caroline was very attentive to my dogs needs and issues. She made sure to always keep me updated with what’s going on & any updates along the way. She went above and beyond in watching my dog this entire week. I would highly recommend Caroline!”
“Treasure has watched my dog, Trip several times and is great with him. Communication is easy and she always sends lots of updates and puts me at ease. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Charli has been taking care of our dog Jack since 2019, and he always has the best time. She has always gone above and beyond, for example: taking him on walks, bringing him along on outings like trips to Renninger’s, and making sure he feels comfortable and loved while we’re away. Now that Jack is a 15 year old senior, it means even more to us to have someone we trust completely. Charli took exceptional care of him during our most recent mini-vacation, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares for him. We can tell Jack is happy and relaxed in her care, and she treats him like part of her own family. She even gives him a bath when on longer stays. We highly recommend Charli to anyone looking for care for their loved ones!”
“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”
“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.”
“Idalis and the family were absolutely amazing. Constant communication and beyond accommodating. Captain had so much fun and I think he’s mad I took him from Logan and them!”
“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”
“I loved Emily, she is awesome when she was talking care of my baby Caboodle. Every day she updates me and sent pictures on how much fun he was having and also if there was any issues.”
“I felt at ease the first time I met Cherie. My dog, Blaze, was very comfortable with her at the meet and greet. Cherie took good care of him and updated me regularly with photos. I was happy that Blaze had a buddy (Cherie’s dog, Fox) to play with during his stay. I will definitely contact her again the next time I need to board Blaze.”
“Bryan was great. Davy loved his home and family and dogs. He was able to go in and out as he pleased. He came home happy and healthy and I’ll definitely use Brian again.”
“Sam is friendly and professional. Sam emails and sends pictures of Sol, my 9 year old cockapoo. She lets me know if he is not eating and prepares special for him. Sol loves going to stay with Sam and her family. This is s perfect match!”

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.
