“Kelley was great. Mabel had a great stay with her. Kelley was attentive and gave me updates and was very respectful. We plan to use her again next time we're in the area.”
“Denise is a truly wonderful professional and clearly loves her doggie clients! We are completely at ease when our sweet dog is staying with her. She is a real find!”
“Tyler and McKenna were awesome! Our dog has a lot of anxiety and they were very accommodating and took great care of him. Our other pup has a lot of energy and they gave her all the running/swimming she needed. And they sent picture updates which was very much appreciated. Will be going back to them in the future and highly recommend to anyone passing through”
“Victoria was absolutely amazing with my pup! She sent updates the entire time to ensure comfortability. My puppy had so much fun staying with her and we will for sure use Victoria in the future!”
“Kateri is my go-to! She goes above and beyond every single stay. Kateri’s dog, Mazey plays so well with my 9.5 month pup. I love that Kateri gives me updates throughout the stay with pictures and videos. She also sent home a report card with a full summary of the visit (it’s still hanging on my fridge! 🥹) Kateri really does think of everything when it comes to your dogs- and has always given me peace of mind knowing my pup will be well taken care of. She’s knowledgeable, super easy to work with, and as kind as can be!”
“I am pleased that Myles was well cared for by Jim. Myles received the same pampered attention with Jima as he receives at home. It was also comforting to receive periodic photos to see how well Myles adjusted to his new environment. I would use Jim again in the future.”
“Amazing experience. My dog, Lucy, was so loved and cared for. She had a blast. The only downside is she didn’t want to come home and wanted to stay with her new friends. LOL. Highly recommend!”
“Marci and her family were the perfect match for watching our iggies. They have a beautiful big yard and know how to care for quirky breeds! Marci updated us with photos of the dogs and updates every morning and night. We would absolutely book with them in the future!”
“Our frenchie (Homer) stayed with Caroline over Labor Day Weekend and she was great! Very communicative and she also sent us pictures of Homer throughout the weekend which was very thoughtful. Drop off and pick up were easy. When we picked him up we could tell he didn’t want to leave and he had such a good time with Caroline and her family. We would highly recommend Caroline and if we lived closer would use her more often to watch Homer.”
“Dara is an absolute star!! She went above and beyond to make sure our furbaby Rambo was fully ready and suited for our wedding day ceremony. Dara and her doggos kept him company and very comfortable in her home throughout the weekend. We received regular photos and updates on Rambo's status and could see he was very happy in her care. He was exhausted after all the playtime fun. We will definitely contact Dara again for our future sitting needs. If you need pet care, call Dara and you will be very happy you did!”
“Angela was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, she made both Murphy and me feel completely at ease. I usually prefer to give Murphy time to acclimate to a new sitter and environment, but Angela stepped in last minute and made it possible for me to keep my vacation plans. To my surprise, Murphy immediately took to her and her home. Everything went so smoothly and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much, Angela!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Petersburg on Rover is $44.4 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 171 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 NJ 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.
