“Our pups had a wonderful time and we got lots of pictures and updates during their stay! Mike was really communicative and the dogs were happy and tired when we picked them up. Would happily have them bunk up here again.”
“Chrissy and her family are great. I got daily updates while my dog was staying with them. They kept their 2 dogs in another room briefly when we first showed up to give my dog time to adjust and then brought them out for introductions (which was seamless). Thanks Chrissy!”
“This is my dog Sam’s second time stayed with Abbie. Sam enjoyed his vocation staying with Abbie. He had so much fun over the long weekend. Thank you, Abbie! We would definitely come back! :-)”
“This was our second time working with Amy and she was great! She was very accommodating on drop off time to make sure it fit all of our schedules. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the trip as well :) Will book again!”
“Leeann was great! She sent us updates with pictures and took amazing care of our little pup. We were happy to know she had fun and met new doggy friends in the meantime.”
“Great people, very kind! Took fantastic care of my boy Haywood, he was whining the whole way home because we had to go home instead of staying with his new friends. We will be returning in the future and I would recommend Katie and Joe to anyone looking to have someone watch their dogs! Thank you both for loving Haywood and taking such good care of him while I was out of town!”
“Angel was very sweet with our dogs. She was prompt with responses and she sent a lot of pictures and updates of our dogs while we were gone which helped our kiddos cope with them being gone. Our dogs haven’t moved since they’ve been home so I know they had a good time.”
“They made me feel comfortable leaving my puppy with them. They sent pictures everyday and they had other dogs for my puppy to socialize with and a big back yard. Thank you William and Haley for taking care of Rocky!”
“We had such a great experience! Yara was so well taken care of, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received updates and photos every day, which made us feel connected and reassured that she was happy and in good hands. It was clear that Yara was loved and cared for like one of their own. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“I simply cannot recommend Karen enough for your dog's vacay. She is WONDERFUL! I recent had a tough situation with my dog, Dex, coming down with a horrendous allergic reaction just in time for a business trip i had to make. And Karen stepped in, took care of him for the whole week, sent me pictures of him recovering. She was so enthusiastic to take care of him and also administer his medication on my behalf. I could not have left him with anyone else other than Karen, not even my friends, with the confidence that he will be well looked after. When I came back to town, Dex was almost back to his best and was healthy and happy! Karen, you ROCK!”
“Patricia is lovely. She made Littel Gril forget who I was. She was treated like the princess she think's she is. Pat sent me daily updates with photos. Little Girl had a great time in the back yard and on walks. When I came to pick her up, she looked at me and I wasn't sure she wanted to go home. Definitely recommend Patricia and I will be using her again to care for our little Doggie Girl whenever we travel and cannot take her with us.”
“Tammi is wonderful. She is great at sending pics of Cookie while we are away. Cookie has stayed with her twice now and enjoyed herself each time over multiple days. There is a great yard for the dogs to play in and she gets lots of affection from Tammi and her husband!”
“Scout and Fergus were treated to a stay with Lindsay and family during our visit to Cincinnati. We were so very pleased with the treatment and care given our dogs. We will not only use Lindsey again, but consider more visits to the area having confidence that our pets have made new friends. I’ll never forget Lindsay’s 4 year old waving and shouting “I love you” to the dogs as we drove away. Big smiles. Thanks guys. They love you too sweetie.”
“**Review for Jamie:** Jamie was fantastic! She watched our dog Sarge for a full week and did an amazing job. She kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely comfortable and at ease while we were away. Sarge clearly had a great time too. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
About: I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!! My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day. I do not have a fenced in yard yet, but we do walk with a leash around the town as well as use a beeping and vibrating collar to keep pets in our yard.
“Jane was great Penny. We really appreciated her pictures and it looked like Penny really enjoyed her time with Jane. Would recommend and definitely will use her again!!”
“Finn’s second time with Holly and he ran right inside when we dropped him off like it was his own house! He was so excited to be there and hang with Millie which makes us feel so good leaving him. Thanks again, Holly!”
“Misty was phenomenal with our dog Samson. He's a big dog and she walked him, she cared for him she took pictures of him. Wow, I was so impressed and felt so comfortable her. Misty's children loved on him. It was a beautiful experience and I will definitely use her as many times as I can!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Petersburg on Rover is $35.52 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 632 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Petersburg. 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.
92% of Petersburg 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 Petersburg 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 Petersburg 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 Petersburg.
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 Petersburg 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.
