“Chrissy was excellent. It was obvious when talking with her, she really cares about the animals and my dog in particular. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will use her again next 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!”
“Once again we have struck GOLD! Abbie has a GREAT home environment. My Keazer and Sözé were well taken care of. They enjoyed the ability to be outside and great lengths. We were able to extend when pick up needed to be delayed. We are looking forward to having them return for the next time.”
“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.”
“Jane is amazing! I'm so happy I found her to dog sit while me and my family were on vacation. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing every day. Couldn't be happier!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Eliza. She is an Incredible dog sitter❤️. I 1000% would use her again. She was so kind and kept me up to date the whole time, also sent me pictures of my Rocky. Eliza took such good care of my boy. Your pup is in GREAT hands here!!”
“Leeann was absolutely wonderful with our little guy. She provided regular updates and even sent some pictures. We are so happy with the decision to book Leeann and will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Karen was GREAT with our golden retriever Max and I would totally work with her again! Our family went were away for a week and wanted to leave Max at a house so he’d have 1:1 care instead of boarding, We hadn’t met Karen previously but from the first minute we talked with her it was obvious she was a dog person and Max would be in great hands! Thanks Karen!!!”
“Patricia is the absolute best! She takes the best care of our dog who can be extremely nervous with noise and weather. The daily updates are detailed as she goes above and beyond! Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“**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!”
“Misty was wonderful and sent photo and message updates about how Moona was doing and helped make her feel comfortable being away from home and soothe her anxiety. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Katie. She was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Lily, sending us updates, pictures, and videos that really put us at ease. Katie had crates available so we didn’t even need to bring our own, and she created such a safe and welcoming space for Lily even while boarding other dogs. We could tell Lily was enriched and stimulated during her stay, and she loved playing in the fenced-in yard with her new dog friends. Katie was also very flexible with timing, which we really appreciated since we needed to book on short notice. Lily came home happy and we could see she was loved and cared for like family. We’ll definitely be booking with Katie again!”
“Nala had the best time! We got photo updates, Nala made lots of friends, Tammi’s home was a dog’s vacation dream! She was so happy and worn out when we picked her up, you could tell she was very happy here while we went on vacation. We’d absolutely choose Tammi first for our next trip!”
“Such an amazing experience! Our dogs loved being there they got a spa day! And a nice hike in they were definitely worn out when they got home which I loved coming back from a trip! Drop off and pick up was very easy. We absolutely will book them again.”
“Amanda and her family did a great job taking care of my dog -Sam. Sam is a 4 months puppy. He needs a lot of attention and has lots of energy. Amanda’s very patient to take care of him, and sent me pictures. Sam had a great time in Amanda’s place while I was out of the town, played a lot with Tucker and Maya. I’ll definitely return if I need a sitter in the future.”
“Holly sent pictures and updates of how Jaxson was doing. She was super easy to coordinate a meet and greet ahead of time so Jaxson and her dog could meet also. I'm sure Jaxson and Millie had a great time running around their fenced yard together. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel is wonderful! From my first communication with her, I felt very confident that she would take amazing care of our dog! The pictures sent were very helpful knowing he was comfortable and happy in her home! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Petersburg on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of September 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 September 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.
94% 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.
