“Rebecca is absolutely amazing. I left her with my cat for 8 days for the first time and I was able to go on vacation without any worries. She took such great care of him and he loved it. I would use her again in a heartbeat, 100% recommended!”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with my Husky. I was worried since it was the first time leaving him with someone he didn’t already know. Her yard is a doggie oasis, they were so loving and attentive and made me feel at ease leaving him while we were on vacation. I will definitely be using her again, 5 star doggie treatment!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“My pug enjoyed her time at Patricia’s and came home just as happy as when we left her there. There was no adjustment period for her when she came home. We were very happy with her care. Patricia sent us pictures while we were away and kept in touch. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her!”
“Alba was the absolute best! She took such good care of Rusty who can be very independent and particular. She provided funny and frequent updates and gave him a great vacation home. And I got some peace of mind!”
“We are very comfortable leaving our little guy with Crystal because we know that he will receive a lot of love and attention and he will be very happy staying with them. This was our 2nd time using Crystal and we will definitely use her again.”
“Deb is a fabulous sitter for my two senior dogs! She paid attention to their cues and ways. She let us know how they did each day. She gave us a full report when we returned, too. They were happy to see us when we picked them up. Thank you for taking such good care of our family members, Deb!”
“Nicolena was great! I highly recommend here! My dog has bad separation anxiety and she was amazing with Blaze! Kept me updated throughout his stay! She is very good with dogs and would recommend her and would absolutely leave Blaze with her again!”
About: I ensure pets feel safe, comfortable and happy with personalized routines, play time and plenty of love while you’re away. 15+ years of experience of pet sitting/pet owner. I have assisted in whelping puppies and care for my own dog with multiple health issues. I work a typical 8:30-4:30 job in the Ocean and Monmouth county area. But I am flexible with work from home, or traveling for drop in visits. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for running, frolicking and playing. I understand the importance of maintaining their routines and schedules all while providing endless love! I am comfortable with administering medication if necessary.
“Fantastic experience ! My dog had such a great time with Kali. She really cares about making sure your dog is happy. My dog was sooo happy. I would highly recommend Kali.”
“Rosemery was excellent with my King Charles cavalier!. It was my first time using the app and leaving my three year old dog with someone who wasn’t family. She was amazing with keeping in touch and sending pictures. My dog looked so happy and comfortable to be cared for by her. I would highly recommend her and will def use her again in the future!!”
“How lucky we are to have found Tokar to watch our Charli girl!! Tokar is warm and loving even welcoming Charli with her very own welcome sign on the porch when we arrived. We received picture updates and just knew Charli was having a great time. We look forward to seeing Tokar again!!!”
“My review of Holly is exceptional. I had a last-minute emergency that I had to attend to, and I reached out to Holly, and she responded very quickly. She was willing to meet up with me within 30 to 40 minutes, and experience and professionalism were a perfect match for my three-month-old German shepherd. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi my name is Adrianne. I grew up around animals my entire life! Unfortunately, I am unable to have pets of my own right now, so I would love to spend time with someone else’s! I have a large back yard that is unfenced, but I live on the water so this may be an issue for some! However, I am available to go to your home and stay/care for your pet! I love to be outdoors and go for walks and am willing to drive your pet to the beach or park to play! I am currently in school obtaining my Masters Degree in Social Work, interning and working part time! Therefore, I am busy but do have down time during the week and weekends! I treat each animal as my own and will update you on how your dog is doing during their stay/visit with pictures and text messages! Inside my home is mostly hardwood floors with a large rug. This allows dogs to cool themselves off and make themselves comfy on the rug. If you have any questions please contact me, I respond quickly and look forward to hearing from you!
“I recently had the pleasure of using Lorraine to care for my dogs, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Throughout the stay, Lorraine kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which provided great peace of mind. It was evident that Brutus and Bella were not only well-cared for but were also enjoying themselves. Lorraine went above and beyond by sticking to Brutus and Bella’s routine, ensuring they received their favorite treats, and even taking them on longer walks than I had expected. The level of care and attention to detail was truly exceptional. I would highly recommend Lorraine to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and professional dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with Lorraine again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Brutus and Bella.”
About: As a life long dog owner, I know how important it is to have someone else in your circle to care for your pets. I have raised my own lab from a puppy and trained her to be the best house dog she can be! I love to be active and on the go! Senior dogs who want to soak up every moment this life has to offer is also in my wheel house. I'm currently working part time as a substitute teacher and I am done for the day around 2:30 pm. I will have evenings free for walks and boarding. I don't have children of my own, so offering services for pets is a way I can contribute to this new community I have found myself in. I have a fenced in yard and access to an open walking path within walking distance of my home. As a PE teacher, I am very active and love to stay moving after school. I have always believed a tired dog, is a happy dog :) I also have experience in nannying and professional organizing, so staying in a client's home is also something I am privy to.
“Our dog Peyton loved her stay! She was well rested when we picked her up and received plenty of exercise. We got a few updates throughout the night and Kate and Janet responded quickly to any messages we sent! Thanks again!”
“Karen was great - I was nervous leaving my dog for the first time. Karen is very caring and gave her extra attention the first few days to help her feel at ease. She also sent me lots of pictures and notes throughout the stay to help me feel at ease. The company of Karen's dogs is a plus. Highly recommended.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Anchorage is $60

Thomas is the best ! Our dogs Banjo & Rusty did an 11 day stay, We got updates with pictures of them having a blast and communication with Thomas was very quick and easy. Rusty was unsure at first of his new surroundings but with Thomas's patience and im sure a few good treats they became fast buds. They both enjoyed the perfect backyard basking in the sun or wrestling. Thanks again Thomas !
Lorraine is a great pet sitter. She looked after my dog for a week and kept me informed daily as to how he was doing. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and had an enjoyable stay. I felt assured that he was indeed in good hands. I highly recommend her.
My 3 pups had a great stay with Patricia, for 4 days. I received daily photos, and Patti needed to provide meds to one of the dogs with no issues. Her home and yard are perfect for pet sitting! I hope she is available the next time we need to make "reservations". :)
I would 100% recommend Rose. She will absolutely be my first choice anytime I need someone to watch Benny in the future. Rose and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming. After talking with Rose and meeting her and her family, I felt completely confident and comfortable leaving Benny in her care. Benny requires quite a bit more attention and care than most dogs. I rescued him, and he is a 90-pound Shepherd mix who was born deaf and missinghis righteye. He has only about 20% vision in his only eye. Because of this, he needs extra-special care and also requires medication twice a day. Rose did an amazing job taking care of him. She sent me plenty of updates and pictures throughout his stay, which really helped put my mind at ease. It was obvious from the pictures that Benny was comfortable and enjoying himself. To make things even more challenging, his stay happened to fall during a nor’easter. Despite the weather, Rose was extremely accommodating, both with Benny’s needs and with my drop-off and pickup times. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Knowing that Benny was safe, comfortable, and being so well cared for meant a lot to me. I would absolutely trust Rose with him again and highly recommend her, especially to anyone with a dog who needs a little extra care and attention.
We love Debbie! She is so caring and loving toward our Labrador. She takes her on walks daily, gives her treats and plenty of snuggles and attention. She gives us updates and communicates often with texts and pictures. We could not have found a better sitter for our dog:)
Our dog Ellie received excellent care from Celeste! She truly went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It was clear from the moment we picked her up that she had been in great hands. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and peace of mind Celeste provided. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!
Alea took great care of our dog , Macy , who is still a puppy at only 1 yr old and can be a handful with a lot of energy . We had an event and our dog sitter fell thru so she stepped in and took the booking last minute when I was really in a pinch . Will definitely rebook !
Ashley was amazing with our dog and made the whole experience stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about making sure our dog was comfortable and happy. We got updates and felt confident knowing our pup was in good hands. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Anchorage is $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $53 and $68 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 November 2026, there are 825 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.
96% 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 NJ 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.
