“As always, Mike and Amanda were amazing! Moose is still sleeping because he had such a great time playing and visiting! Mike and Amanda accepted on such a last minute impromptu mini vacation, and I was thrilled to have them again! I can't wait to have them watch my boy for our summer vacation! They are absolutely wonderful to work with and very accommodating! Until next time!👋”

“Sent updates while my pup stayed! She takes time to make a bond with each pup she watches! She takes them for walks and plays with them in the backyard! Great sitter!”

“Kelly and her family were so friendly and accommodating. She sent pictures and updates through each day. Kiko got along great with her two larger dogs. We'll be using her again!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Abbie did such an amazing job! Our dog means the world to us and she took great care of our boy! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for quality care for their fur kids.”


“Our Ellie seemed well cared for and was happy and worn out when we picked her up! We received lots of updates and pictures which helped us as we were missing her. We would definitely use Tammi again!”

“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.”

“This was our first time using Rover. We are so pleased with everything. The Stamms are so nice and took great care of Charlie. They sent us updates and pictures during his stay. He was very happy and relaxed when we picked him up! Usually we get the cold shoulder and ignored when we bored him… but not this time! We will definitely be booking with the Stamms in the future. It’s so refreshing and reassuring knowing our pet is safe and taken care of when we are out of town.”

“Eliza took such great care of our beagles!! She was more than happy to meet prior to us leaving our dogs with her just so we could know who was watching our pups and to ease some anxiety. My dogs loved her right from the start and had such a great time with her! Highly recommend and will definitely rebook!”


“We couldn’t have found a better person to care for our German Shepherd. Karen was amazing and gave us updates and was very accommodating due to issues on my end. Thank you Karen!!”

“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!!”

“Katie is attentive, flexible, and truly cares about the dogs she watches. She accepted my booking on short notice during the holidays and provided daily updates throughout the stay. This was the second time my dogs have stayed with her, and it definitely won’t be the last. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing experience! Patty is very easy to work with. Took great care of our pup during a 10 day trip. Tons of pictures and daily updates. Have already rebooked for our next vacation.”

“Simon loved staying with Dana! Dana sent pictures throughout Simons stay and made sure to answer any questions we had. It was a home away from home for Simon. I would book again and I highly recommend!”


“Hailey did a great job taking care of our giant Newfie, Bishop for more than a week. He’s got some knee troubles but her daycare room exits right into a beautiful fenced in backyard. She sent us daily pics and videos which was greatly appreciated while were overseas. I would recommend Hailey to anyone. Thanks Hailey!”

“Misty did a wonderful job. This was the first time we left Daxter with a stranger and Misty shared photos to let us know how he was doing so we would not worry. We would use her again.”

“**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!”

“Emily was great, sending pictures each day of my dogs stay and keeping me updated. She even shuffled her schedule around to accommodate the days I needed. Would recommend to anyone!”

“Amanda & Donnie took great care of our two dogs while we were gone. We got communication and pictures from them every day. Our dogs, one of which is a senior dog on many medications were cared for as if they were their own dog. They took extra special care of our anxious dog with lots of storms and 4th of July fireworks while we were gone. We felt at ease knowing how well they were cared for while we were gone for 10 days. I would highly recommend them and will use them again.”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Petersburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Petersburg on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 638 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.
93% 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.
