“Janelle was great. Laid back and yet her animals are the center of her world you can tell. And she made my Mia right at home. Giving her special attention. Thanks.”
“Maria took care of our dog when we had a last minute company thing. She made sure to ask questions, see if our dog needed anything special. She sent pictures and communicated with us. They took good care of our dog!”
“Ashley was awesome! Our dogs were very comfortable and she even provided photo/video updates throughout their stay. She treated them like family and we'll definitely use Ashley's services again!”
“Andrew was a great choice to care for Toby. We went on a two-week international adventure, where cell reception would be spotty. It was good to know that Toby would be with very responsible sitters, given that we could not be in touch all the time. Thank you for peace of mind.”
“I am so grateful for Katie and Kristen for their amazing care of my Boston Terrier, Abby! I was going to a conference for two days and plans fell through for her, but Katie and Kristen were amazing and I was able to book with them for two nights. They sent photos and updates which I absolutely adored. Abby is totally pooped after having an amazing time with them and I wholeheartedly can say with certainy that you should book with them when they’re available. You can leave your beloved pet with them as they are in good hands. Thank you so much for all of your help and all of the updates. I am so grateful for you both! And Abby says thank you for taking care of me!”
“Catherine has sat my dogs twice, each time for about a week. When we brought them back, they were super excited to see her! Catherine kept the dogs entertained with frequent walks to the park next door and plenty of play time. She paid careful attention to our instructions to reinforce our training. Catherine handled a kerfuffle between our dogs wonderfully, separating them as soon as it happened and attending to their needs right away. She communicated clearly throughout. I highly recommend her, especially if your dog can use some additional socialization!”
“Reneé was great with Lily for a short overnight stay! She took lots of cute photos of her. She even squeezed in a quick walk before our pickup time. Lily will be back!”
“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”
“Amazing, super sweet and I appreciated how she sent alot of pics and vids of my pup with updates of what they were doing!!🫶🏾 would definitely recommend and will be a returning customer”
“Josiah was great and offered last-minute services when my original plans fell through for zazu. Their family took great care of my boy, sent regular pictures, and he came home happy and healthy!”
About: My dogs are my babies. ❤️ If you feel the same way, we already have something important in common! I started dog walking because I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your precious pups. My husband and I adopted two rescue dogs, Myrtle and Daisy, who came to us with potty and behavioral challenges after being poorly cared for in a puppy mill. With patience and love, they’ve blossomed into two silly, fun-loving dogs who are an important part of our family. I’m not a trainer, groomer, or vet tech—I’m simply a devoted pet parent who understands how much peace of mind matters when you’re leaving your “babies” with someone else. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted friend to you and your pups! 🐾 I’m available for weekday walks starting around 3:30 PM. I enjoy getting outside and spending time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. My own dogs also keep me familiar with the importance of consistency, attention, and lots of love! On weekends, I am available for boarding from Friday evening to Sunday evening. To ensure dog safety, we crate all dogs when humans are away. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and patience. I’ll also keep you updated during visits so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Our dogs love staying with Birdie. They run to her house and are tired when they come home. They are taken care of very well. Birdie always gives feedback regarding eating and health. This time she even pointed out a new nodule to be looked after by the vet. We leave our dogs with Birdie with complete confidence.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Petersburg is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $51 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.

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.
95% of sitters in Petersburg 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 Petersburg home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 MI 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.
