It was so hard to leave Stella for such a long period, but immediately relieved when the pictures and videos started coming in. Stella had a blast. She fit right in with the family.. I think she actually looked better picking her up than when I dropped her off. I could tell she had been brushed and combed, well taken care of.

When we read all of these impossible reviews we thought to ourselves no one can be this good. And all honesty we have come to realize that every Star that Claudia has she earned it. She is the Dog whisperer in flying colors. Our dog is 12 years old and he does not want to stay with anyone. She was able to win him over and he actually did not want to leave her. Even though the bonus was our little 5-month-old puppy who is so lovable that he'll make you fall right in love with him in just in the first two minutes of meeting him. We were really worried about that 12-year-old who never stays with anyone. Claudia is top-notch and I must say she keeps you up to date with pictures and texts and these dogs are overwhelmed with patience, love, and understanding. Along with toys and treats etc. She and her family will be the only one taking care of our dogs from now on.

I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your

Emily and Aaron are fantastic people! They really did treat my baby as if he was their own. The pictures I got everyday was just the cutest and you could see how truly happy he was. Their son is so adorable and so gentle with the dogs, he enjoyed playing with Sparky I would definitely recommend this family for dog boarding, I know we will absolutely use them again. Thanks again for loving my little fur baby!!!!

Vivian did a great job keeping me updated on how everything was going with our dog. She didn't just give me general updates, but instead, she provided details and made me feel at ease. I was confident that our dog was being well taken care of.

Our German Shepherd loved his 10-day stay-- he was entertained by watching the neighboring farm animals and playing with their dog Moose. Kelsey took special care during a big thunderstorm, knowing he was particularly anxious. Very accommodating and flexible!

About: I've spent many years caring for dogs and cats through animal rescue and fostering, working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My experience includes puppies and kittens, seniors, shy and anxious pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I'm comfortable giving medications when needed, following detailed care instructions, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I understand that every pet is unique, and I treat each one with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want for my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for animals throughout the day. I’m used to building my schedule around feeding, cleaning, playtime, and monitoring pets’ health and behavior. I’m organized and flexible, so I can adjust my day to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or scheduled visits, I prioritize being dependable and on time so pets stay comfortable and owners have peace of mind. In the owner’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m careful to maintain their routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. If caring for pets in my home, I would provide a calm, supervised environment, separate from my own pets if needed, and ensure they have a quiet, stress-free space with consistent care, attention, and supervision throughout their stay.

Randal was an absolute delight to correspond with, and our pup Molly seemed thoroughly delighted. Randal provided multiple updates, pics and videos: keeping us in the loop. We’ll absolutely be checking to see if he’s available on our next trip out of town. Leaving Molly with Randal & Karen will be a no-brainer on our next multi-day excursion.

About: I have had dogs all of my life. I am adept at training even the most challenging breeds. I am comfortable with all dog breeds as long as the pet is friendly. I used to foster dogs and was active in the Humane Society prior to having kids. I now have a 3-acre fenced property that is perfect to host dogs while their owners are away. I have a lab mix (very friendly) who we love throwing the ball for and have room for more! I have a flexible work schedule and am able to accommodate pets. I have plenty of outdoor space and provide plenty of exercise by throwing the ball and going on walks. I have a 3-acre fenced property with goats, chickens, and a senior lab. There are plenty of trees and shade and lots to do. The goats and chickens are contained in another pasture. The lab is friendly and loves company. I am able to accommodate walks, crating, or any other special requests.

Catherine is amazing. She is flexible and considerate-she took my fur baby (Hunter) 30 minutes earlier than we've agreed upon without any hesitation. She sent updates and pictures at least twice a day. I never have to wonder what's going on because she kept me informed. Catherine has two of her own, which is a bonus for us because they are also small breed and friendly. They were great together. Hunter was anxious on his first night but Catherine knew just what to do. Catherine treated my baby like her own. She took Hunter for a walk twice a day, and on top of that, she has let him out in her fenced yard for a quick fresh air between those walks. Catherine has a calm demeanor and very professional. Today, my flight arrival was slightly delayed so I was rushing. I came to pick up Hunter a few minutes late. Coming from a long flight, it was a great relief that she was very understanding and that she had Hunter, on a lease with his belongings all set and ready to go. As if she knew I needed my precious restful sleep ASAP. Catherine's awesome didn't end there, we got home and found out that she sent us a bag of goodies for Hunter. Catherine is simply the best! I can't imagine anyone else can do better than that! Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Alva on Rover is $31.03 per night (as of August 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 670 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Alva. About 93% of Alva 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 FL 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.
