“I left my dog with Sarah for 14 days (longest I've ever been away from him) and she took great care of him- daily updates, took him on adventures, cozy spots all through the house, and I know he was well cared for! Definitely recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Finn's stay with Julie was great. I got multiple daily updates which was awesome since Finn is a puppy and I was worried he might be really stressed. They clearly have a lot of experience with dogs and all their quirks :). They are pretty flexible and offer a pick-up and drop-off option which came in handy this trip. I will definitely use them again. Their HOA only allows 2 dogs, so your dog will be the only one staying there with them and their dog. They are a very nice couple with a great set-up for watching a dog.”
“Amazing. Our dog was so happy and loved Karissa’s pup! Klarissa was super communicative and sent multiple cute photos each day. Would definitely recommend!”
“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”
“Amanda is awesome! She sent us daily pics of our furry babies just to show us that they were fine and having fun which gave us a sense of security. Amanda has the perfect setup in her home to allow the pups to have their own space and keep them safe. This is our second time leaving our pups with Amanda and we are so happy to have found her!”
“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!”
About: I've had pets my whole life! Mostly rescues, always with their own quirks and needs, and I've learned a lot along the way about helping them settle into a new space and feel safe. Being a therapist, I'm tuned in to the little cues animals give off, so I tend to pick up on what a nervous or shy pet needs before they even show it. I'm the auntie to many of my friends furry babies. I also love getting creative with how I engage with animals. I make my own enrichment activities to keep pets mentally stimulated. At home, I've got a Shetland Sheepdog who's an absolute angel- my adventure buddy. Your pup will be in great company. My partner and I both work from home, so pet care fits naturally into our day. That means your pet won't be alone for long stretches. I can offer regular breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, and I'm nearby if anything comes up. It also makes scheduling easy. Because my partner and I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention and company throughout the day. My home is a safe, comfortable space where pets can settle in and relax. I stick closely to your pet's usual routine so things feel as familiar as possible while they're with me. We have a small fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play, plus a secure balcony pets have easy access to for fresh air throughout the day.
“What a great experience for my dogs. They stayed multiple times for the day and for boarding with Katie. She and her husband have a large fenced in farm where the dogs can roam around. They are just great with dogs.”
“Mandy and her family were so kind and loving to my dog and cat. They both stayed in her home and were treated like family. It gave me peace of mind while away to know they were with someone so caring, and getting lots of snuggles and walks from her kids, too. I will be booking her again!”
“I can’t say enough about what a great experience we had having Juliette watch our old girl Sammy. She was taken out to the park and for walks and was welcomed as one of the family. We got lots of updates and photos and felt very reassured that Sammy was having such a good time.”
“Our pups had a terrific time with Mia over the weekend. She made sure they had plenty of playtime, walks and downtime. Great communication, lots of pics. I would happily rebook with Mia!”
“Ashlee and her husband were great care takers for my dog over the weekend. Their dogs are so friendly and my dog Chunk had a blast. Lots of playtime outside, walks and pictures throughout the whole stay! Ashlee takes such good care of them and treated my dog just as I would. I will absolutely reach out again when we need a sitter.”
About: I have a love and compassion for all animals. it’s as important to me to treat animals with the same dignity, respect, caring, and compassion as any other living thing on this earth. I have had dogs around me all my life. I have been a pet owner my whole life, so much to the point where lost pets found sanctuary at my home until their owns could locate my home.I Have done experience dog fostering for cats and dogs over the last ten years, as well all information can be proven with supportive pictorial evidence and owner testimony. It would be my honor to provide a safe, healthy and happy investment for the pets and absents of there owners presents. If you have anymore questions please reach out to me. Thank you Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule specific times for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other necessary tasks. I prioritize the well-being of the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. It's all about creating a structured and loving environment for our furry friends! 🐾❤️ My current work full time, I start in the 10pm and I get off at 7am. I don’t have any other obligations.😊 When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment. I provide a cozy space for them to relax, play, and sleep. Regular exercise, feeding, and plenty of water are part of the routine. If there are any specific instructions or preferences, I follow them closely. For clients who prefer pet care in their own home, I make sure to maintain their pets' regular routines. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any necessary medication administration. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, providing them with the love and attention they need while their owners are away.
“Great caretaker! I came back home to a happy healthy dog. Meaghan is communicative and considerate, I would recommend contacting this person for your pet boarding needs 🐕”
“Chelsea did a fantastic job sitting for our dogs! She was responsive when we had questions and sent us daily updates with photos demonstrating that the dogs were having a great time at her place. In fact, they seemed kind of bummed when we arrived to pick them up. 😂 We would 100% recommend Chelsea as a sitter to others and book with her again for our dogs.”
“Jackie was absolutely amazing with Kona! She sent so many updates and pictures throughout the weekend, which gave me so much peace of mind and reassured me that Kona was doing great. She took Kona on multiple walks every day and treated her like one of her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I would absolutely book with Jackie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and communicative!”

Kat is amazing! She took such great care of Beckett and sent frequent updates and photos even when we were out of service! They seemed to have so much fun and tons of play time and exercise! She even went out of her way to make sure that Beckett was safely dropped off at our friend’s house at the end when we weren’t quite home yet, and our electronic door lock was dead and she couldn’t get in. We will definitely plan to use her again!
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 of Dog Boarding in Anchorage is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 190 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Anchorage can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Anchorage home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
