About: 🐶🐈 I’ve grown up with animals in my household ever since I can remember. All of my friends own pets as well and I have been a trusted sitter for them all! Cats and Dogs are both welcome in my home! 🐶🐈 I am usually available M-TH while working remote. I can be home 4+ hours at a time or more and I will never leave your furry friend alone for long if absolutely necessary for me to leave. 🐶🐈 I live in a very spacious 4 bedroom, 1 bathroom house and have a fenced in yard where I can take your fur baby out to run! It is a very very pet friendly community and we live in a great neighborhood for long walks!
“Chris and Shawnda are true dog lovers. They understand dog behavior and we felt 100% confident leaving our dog in their care. Strider was happily exhausted from 3 days of play!”
“Braydon was wonderful. He kept me posted of Ivy's activities. She can be high energy so he took her for walks. He took her to a friend's house so she was able to get some socialization. We will for sure request him again.”
“I have booked with Carissa multiple times now, her prices are very fare and she is so accommodating to last minute changes, I am at ease knowing my dogs are being well taken care of while I am away she sends me pictures and updates, my dogs come back home worn out! If you are looking for a passionate person to love on your animals she will!”
“Savana was great with my 7 month old Beagle for the weekend! She was willing to meet beforehand for a meet & greet, & accommodated my requests very well. I heard Margo & her dog had a lot of fun together. She also sent photos & videos throughout the stay. Would highly recommend Savana!”
About: I've had a lot of dogs in my life since I was very little that I have helped watch or care for. I help watch my relatives dogs when they are out on vacation or just gone for a few days. They've always relied on me to help them out and of course I did! I was always willing to take their dogs to care for if others they asked first couldn't do so. I've bathe and fed their pets as if they were just like mine to love and care for while in my hands! I'm a part timer so I would definitely have enough time to care for other pets in my hands! I also always try to find a way to work my schedule as best as I can. I don't have a fenced yard but I always put their leashes on and walk them out to use bathrooms or small walks around the yard or sidewalks. I keep watch on them all times and play with their toys or interacting any way to ensure they're having fun great times with me!
“Highly, highly recommend Alia! This is the first time I used Rover, and I’m super happy with my experience! I had to go out of state for a few days and Alia watched my pup who was sad he couldn’t come with me. He didn’t want to eat and so she hand fed him and kept in touch with me the whole time. I don’t know of many people who would be willing to feed a dog one piece of dog food at a time. So happy for her caring heart! She got him eating again with other foods she asked for permission to feed him. Very happy with her service! Will definitely use her services again when I need to!”
“Lindsay was awesome with our older yorkie. She kept in touch, sent pictures and made sure our fur babe was being cared for. We would definitely love to have Lindsay watch our pup again in a heart beat!”
“Allyson was awesome to work with! She was fast to respond and very accommodating and flexible. Our dog came home very tired so we knew she had a good time staying with Allyson. Will definitely rebook and recommend to others!”
About: I grew up with many family pets and helped care for them. I have worked professionally at day care and boarding/training facilities. In 2011 I acquired a Veterinary Assisting Diploma from Horizon School of Veterinary Assisting. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, most days I am available. We can talk and figure out what would work best for you and your companion animal. I will respect your animals current routine already in place and follow through with daily care needs as if you would for them in your home.
“Hadyn did a great job with our dog! He had so much fun and got lots of walks! We really appreciated the daily check ins/pictures and it made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing he was well taken care of! We will definitely use Hadyn again!”

“Wyatt and Kami did an amazing job of communicating with me while taking wonderful care of Hank. Hank has had a lot of changes recently and is a little reactive to certain things, but they followed the plan and adjusted his nervous system appropriately. Amazing dog sitters! I will definitely be utilizing them in the future.”
“Dessirae is the best! This was our dogs' first stay with her, and it was great! The dogs loved her and her home. The dogs were not entirely sure that they wanted to return home with me, when I showed up to retrieve them today. I only hope that they were well behaved, as we hope that they will have future stays with her.”
About: I have worked for roughly two years dog sitting for friends and family. Typically these have been in my own home - occasionally overnight. I have a fenced in back yard for my 3 dogs & 2 cats so I have experience with both :) I have complete availability currently, so my dog at home gets quite a lot of walks and park time. If possible, i also try to socialize him with people each day. Typically I take my dog to the dog park in the evening with a long walk in the morning. This works best for my dogs energy levels, but each dog is different. I am also trying to socialize my dog in public as he is a bit scared of humans so we try to hit some breweries here and there.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Altoona
We absolutely LOVE having Rudy spend time at Kim’s house! He is always so well cared for and truly seems to enjoy every visit. This past stay, he made himself completely at home — one night sleeping between Kim and her husband, and another night cozied up with one of her kiddos 😆 One of the biggest indicators for us (besides his chosen sleeping arrangements!) is that he feels comfortable enough to eat all of his food. When we’ve left him with other sitters in the past, he sometimes hasn’t eaten much, so that says a lot about how relaxed and happy he is with Kim and her family. While every dog is different and I can’t promise other pups will settle in quite like Rudy does, we always feel so at ease knowing he’s genuinely loved and well cared for while we’re away. Thank you, Kim and family!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Altoona on Rover is $33.3 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 87 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Altoona. About 91% of Altoona sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 WI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
