“Sarah is the best furrriend ever. Professional, helpful and I never have to worry about Juno in her care. Great asset to Rover and all dog owners who travel for work!”
“Olga was so great with our 1 year old Labrador retriever. She sent a lot of photos of their walks and park plays. We felt safe knowing Olga was the perfect person for Lollie. Thank you Olga!”
“Jessica sent pictures of maple often and told me he was doing just fine over there. Was flexible with picking up time changed and plan on using her again for next time.”
“Julie was a fantastic communicator and sent lots of great photos and messages everyday. Sunny really seemed to enjoy his time at Julie and Cameron’s house.”
“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”
“I really appreciated the care Zazie had while I was away and their flexibility to extend care after flight cancellation. Also, feedback Zazie got along well with other pups also in their care since she’s used to being “only child,” it was reassuring to know she adapted well to novelty; I could tell she adapted well to her first-time away from mom adapting well to a different family-temporary home…Thank you Huw & Jolynne”
“Our dog seemed to enjoy her stay. Great yard for play, and neighborhood for walks. Kaitlin gave great updates during the stay and was flexible with us for drop off and pick up.”
“Kaitlin and her family took such good care of my girl! I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch her for a week. Communication was excellent and I know she was well taken care of!”
“Sely is an amazing dog sitter, she is very communicative, and sends lots of pictures and videos! Kane had so much fun at her house, he came home very happy and very much tired from lots of playing!”
“Trey is an awesome sitter! I know when Trey watches my dog that he is well taken care of, comfortable, and all his care needs are met. Thank you for taking such good, attentive care of Rocky!”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“Suzanne and her husband took my friend and I’s pups after we scheduled a last minute trip. They were extremely accommodating and communicative! They sent us pictures during the weekend and the pups were well taken care of! Would definitely recommend!”
“Amanda is incredible! This was my second time leaving my pup with her for an extended stay. My Golden turned 1 year while I was gone, and Amanda went above and beyond to make the day special with a puppy birthday cake and balloons and so much love! Amanda sends thoughtful updates and incredible pictures every day, which makes me feel reassured that she is in good hands. And I wish I had her grooming skills! Bennet was perfectly fresh and clean when I picked her up…. How does she get a dog to smell so good?! Definitely recommend Amanda for dog care!!”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Ralph and his wife went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. They made their home open to them and were communicative through the entire process. I would highly recommend their services and will use their services again. Very warm people who you can tell enjoy taking care of furry friends.”
“Sharon and family opened their home to my Pit bull Mastiff Bruce. Sharon made the process very easy for me by having a meet and greet 1st to let him get familiar to the space. We received updates and pics during his stay. Bruce was definitely well cared for. If needed we most definitely will be booking again.”
“Crystal and her little doggy spa were AH-MAZING!!! 🐶💗 The way she has it arranged and keeps the number of dogs to a low ratio is what I particularly liked. It allows for more one on one attention and interaction. 😊 It’s very clean and organized. The dogs even have their own TV playing the animal channel. 🤩 The large, completely fenced yard is a bonus!! My dog was so happy when I came to pick him up; he didn’t want to leave Crystal! This is now the ONLY place my dogs will go when I have to be away from them!! Don’t hesitate to book with Crystal…your fur babies will be well cared for.”

Having peace of mind that your animals are in good hands is probably the biggest priority in finding care; every time I have booked with Sarah I have received reports on what my pup has been up to as well as several photos, I can not recommend her more highly for those looking for a sitter who will provide that confidence that your pet is being pampered and enjoying themselves in a home away from home!! She is communicative and experienced and every time I have gone back to her no matter how long it has been my Gizmo remembers where he is and is pulling me towards her door :)
Ralph and Irma were so great with Magic! Magic was instantly comfortable around them. He enjoyed lounging in their backyard and playing with Ralph. Ralph gave me daily updates which reassured me. that Magic was happy while I was away. Thank you so much Ralph and Irma!!
Aubrey was great to work with from reservation through pick up. I even had to pick up the dogs mid reservation to get our health certificate to fly out with the week. She made everything seamless. I loved that she sent daily photos, this is a huge gift and very much appreciated. When I picked them up they were happy and healthy I couldn’t have been more pleased! Thanks Aubrey! *****
Alice was great with our needy pup. He’s got separation anxiety, but that wasn’t an issue because someone was always with him during his stay. There were plenty of humans and dogs to help put him at ease. Looking forward to more trips away now that we’ve got a great sitter!
Sondrea and Josh were absolutely the best sitters I have had! My golden puppy is a handful and they took such good care of him. I got so many pictures and videos. Sondrea met with me before my booking to make sure that everything would go smoothly. Excellent communication. My dog returned a very happy and tired boy. Thank you so much. 10/10 would rebook!
Cole was fantastic with Velvet, my 2-year-old rambunctious Norwegian Elkhound (who had truthfully run a few of my friends out of town). Cole sent me photos every day of a two week long vacation, obviously extending a lot of care to make sure Velvet was exercised in the middle of an early March cold snap. And that was after watching Velvet for the prior weekend, so I'm surprised Cole wasn't over my energetic doof of a dog! Cole was also extremely accommodating when travel plans threw curves our way, and we picked Velvet up a couple hours later than anticipated. I really appreciated his grace and kindness and would recommend him a thousand percent.
Kerry was amazing! She kept us updated throughout our whole boarding time. She was very accommodating to our dog who has severe anxiety, and even went out of her way to get our dog a new tag after the old one broke. Would definitely want to board our dog again with her! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Anchorage on Rover is $42.5 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 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 August 2026, there are 184 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Anchorage. 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.
100% of Anchorage 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 Anchorage 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 Anchorage 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 Anchorage.
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 Anchorage 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 AK 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.
