“Stephen and Angela were great! Our pup tends to get nervous in new settings especially where other dogs are involved and I had no doubt they wouldn’t be great for the job! She was very confused by the chicken coop in the yard but I’m very grateful she had that experience since she’s never been able to meet a chicken before and this gave her the chance to acclimate to something new 🤣 Also they are very communicative and quick to respond which I very much appreciate! Thank you for a great experience, we will definitely book again!”
“Gabriella was a terrific host for my boy Jax. She gave me many updates with pictures and videos and met all Dietary needs my 10 year old pup needed. She is very nice and friendly and her dog Yeti is very friendly and happy to see other dogs. My dog tends to have some anxiety but the atmosphere was so positive for him he was playing with toys and her dog Yeti in no time. I highly recommend her for any services you might need for your dogs. Thank you for taking great care of my boy I appreciate it!”
“Stress free stay for my fur baby. I have a deaf pup who has some anxiety, especially with new people and animals. Oliver gave her lots of love and sent daily updates. I didn’t have to worry on my trip if she was in good hands!”
About: We believe every dog deserves individualized care, which is why we only board one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows us to provide a calm, low-stress environment where your pup receives plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. Our family genuinely enjoys having dogs in our home. Our friendly Siberian Husky loves canine companionship, and our three children enjoy playing fetch, exploring the backyard, and giving our guests lots of love and attention. We tailor each stay to your dog’s personality and needs—whether that means long walks and outdoor adventures or a quiet day relaxing inside. We understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else because we’ve boarded our own dog, too. That’s why communication is one of our priorities. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates along with messages so you can relax knowing exactly how your pup is doing. Safety is equally important to us. We have a large, securely fenced backyard, require current vaccinations, and carefully introduce dogs to ensure everyone is comfortable. We also keep our schedule flexible so your dog isn’t left alone for long periods and receives the care and attention they deserve. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel like part of our family while giving you complete peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. We work from home and have flexible schedules, allowing us to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Because we only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time, we can tailor our routine to meet your dog’s individual needs and help them feel right at home. Our pets are part of the family! Our friendly Siberian Husky loves to play and enjoys the company of other dogs. We provide daily walks, playtime, plenty of outdoor time in our securely fenced yard, and lots of love and attention. We can accommodate crate-trained dogs and tailor each stay to your pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs, so they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Adam and family took great care of our pups! They sent pictures and updates every day and I felt like they genuinely cared for our precious dogs. One of our pups has a hard time getting along with other dogs at first, but they were patient, introduced her slowly to the others, and she eventually settled in. Thanks for all the doggie snuggles! We'll be back!”
“I've been using Jessica to watch my golden for the last 4-5 trips, and my dog absolutely loves staying with her and her family. I can tell she takes very good care of my dog by sending pictures, taking him for walks, and even having "Water Days" for the dogs to play in water when its hot outside. This last trip she even noticed something about my dog that I hadn't and brought it to my attention. My little guy has allergies that I was unaware of since I moved to Louisville and she was the reason I took him into the vet and got him some allergy relief! Great Host, and Great Home for your pets! I highly recommend”
“Boone, and his family, are in love with Sharon D. She is extremely genuine and caring. She is very thoughtful and sent many pictures/videos while we were on vacation. Her attention to detail for our fur baby made us like her even more. This was our first time using Rover and she made the experience so simple and easy to trust. I would HIGHLY recommend Sharon D!!!”
“I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Amanda sent us pictures and videos every day, which made being away from our boys so much easier. It was obvious they were having the best time and I honestly think they had just as much fun at her house as we did on vacation! We’re so thankful for everything she did while we were gone, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our dogs with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“First time visiting here - my active dog spent the day with Mariah and had the best time playing outside with her pup and another visitor. Good communication, loved the photos she sent.”
“Elizabeth and Phillip have watched Sadie twice now. We can tell how much she likes going there when we drop her off and how much she sleeps when she comes home! Highly recommend”
“Ian was amazing! He stayed in contact with us so we knew our baby was comfortable and happy. She is older, deaf, and not used to being alone since I work from home. He dealt with her laundry list of specific needs and never missed a beat. She made a new friend and we will be using him again if we ever have another need for extended care.”
“Ebony was great! This was my first time using Rover and she made this experience way less anxiety provoking. She checked in, sent pictures, and loved my labradoodle like one of her own! I will definitely be re-booking!”
About: I grew up on a farm so I've been around animals my whole life. I have plenty experience with kittens and puppies all the way up to our older babies. I have worked previously at the Pet Station Country Club and at Petsmart so you know that your animals will be well taken care of. I have experience with medications and any special care that animals need. If you're looking for a good sitter that will treat your animals like my own, I'm your person I'm currently working part time and so I will have time for your fur babies from 6am- 9pm Thursday-Friday and 6am-1pm on Saturdays. I'm hoping to get more availability on here soon. I will treat your pet like they are my own family. With me, you can trust that your pet will be safe, Safety and Fun are always my top priorities.
“Li was very accommodating. It was our first time using Rover and our circumstances were less than ideal (she had not met our 9mo Australian Shepard, it was last minute and we found out day of that our pup needed to wear an E-collar for the 4 night stay). I was less than hopeful but Li pulled through for us and was nothing less than helpful. Would use her again any time”
“Alexa was wonderful with our dogs. They came home smiling and seemed to really enjoy spending time with her and her dog. She was very good at communicating and sending picture updates. We will definitely use her again!”
“Kelly was great! Charlie said he loved staying there and playing with her dogs. She even had all his stuff ready and helped me carry it all out to the car when I picked him up. We will definitely use her again!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Anchorage is $40

This was the first time using Rover. Carla was wonderful! She sent me some updates and picture while we were on our trip. Vivian tends to not react as much when we are away, this didn’t happen at all… which cracked me up and loved because I knew she felt at home! 😂😊🫶
It was my 14 month old Vizslas first time staying with a sitter (or anywhere but home) so I was a little nervous about leaving him for a week. Meg was super responsive and kept me updated on how he was doing with pictures and I felt so at ease knowing he was in great hands. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and will definitely be boarding with her again in the future! She made him feel at home and he had such a great time!
Kelsey took amazing care of my dog, Katai, while I was away. From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals, and that gave me so much peace of mind. She kept me updated with messages and photos, and Katai looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been treated like family. It’s not easy trusting someone with your dog, but Kelsey exceeded every expectation. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive. Thank you, Kelsey, for taking such great care of Katai—I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Anchorage is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $67 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 of November 2026, there are 450 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Anchorage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
97% 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, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Anchorage. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 KY 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
