“Ashley is wonderful! Remi and Lou can be pretty rambunctious in new places and she handled them like a champ. Happy dogs at pickup and lots of good updates and pictures during their stay!”
“We are so happy to have found this family to take care of our fur babies! We received updates while we were gone and knew our boys were in good hands. I’m sure they really loved being around the 4 kids and in a home versus being in a kennel somewhere. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Olga and her kids took such great care of Zeke. I got photo updates every day and she even bought him toys. Olga was super accommodating with drop off and pick up. We even had a meet and greet prior to the first day so Zeke would have at least met her before spending time with her. I highly recommend Olga as a dog sitter.”
“Our boys LOVE visiting Huw and Jolynne and we adore them as well! They’re excited to arrive, sad to leave, and well taken care of every single time. We cannot thank you both enough for your loving, thoughtful care. ❤️”
“Amanda is amazing. Lola loves the whole family. Happy dogs at Amanda’s. Regular updates and feedback. Very responsible care. Thank you Amanda for taking the fear and anxiety out of the equation.”
“Sarah did an amazing job with my Gus. He went to her still in a cone from being neutered and she did an amazing job making sure he was comfortable and happy, and I appreciated her daily updates.”
“It was such a comfort knowing Mowgli was living his best life while I was out of town! He came home and slept most of the day, evidence of days well spent…playing with new doggo friends and getting lots of love! Thanks again!”
“Jessica took great care of my dog! She sent pictures all day every day. Jessica walked her multiple times a day. My sweet baby came back happy! Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Koda had the best time. Kiara and her husband provided the perfect place for our dog while we were gone. They were extremely communicative, sent us pictures and a wonderful family. We would absolutely use them again!”
“Sely was incredible! She helped me last minute with a situation with a friend’s dog. She sent me updates every day with pictures and videos, and she has a great space to accommodate any personality/type of dog.”
“Crystal was beyond wonderful! She loved my two golden retrievers just as if they were her own. Crystal sent me pictures and updates every day of my pups’ stay, and went above and beyond in every aspect of their care. Thank you so much Crystal!!!”
“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!”
“Zoe & I did a meet & greet with Stacey & her dog before booking & Zoe seemed ok with her. She has a yard for the dogs to run around in. Stacey is very personable! Stacey was great about sending updates & pictures. She included Zoe in any outdoor activity she & her dog went on. Zoe is nervous with new people, but Stacey said Zoe warmed up to her & her dog quickly. Stacey let me know that I may not have packed Zoe enough food (mom fail) & asked what brand I fed her vs. just feeding Zoe what her dog ate, which I greatly appreciated (Zoe did have just enough, lol). She gave me thorough rundown when I picked Zoe up. I highly recommend Stacey & Zoe will be definitely staying with her again.”
“Loren was great! She took wonderful care of our dog. There was playtime in the back yard and walks each day. We received cute pictures and updates just about every day. She promptly responds to inquiries. I will definately be using her again. Thank you Loren!”
“Amanda was very responsive, sent multiple updates on Walter. She went above and beyond for his care. We really needed someone like her. Would not hesitate to use her again!”
“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.”

Ciara was great with Iggy! Her and her pups kept my boy company and made his first time using a rover seamless. She communicated daily with me, sent me tons of pics and was flexible when last minute airlines changes were happening. I was confident that he was in good hands with her.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fort Richardson on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Fort Richardson 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 Fort Richardson 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 Fort Richardson 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 Fort Richardson.
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 Fort Richardson 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.
