“Kelley was so easy going and great with communication before and during the dogs stay. She was very friendly and accommodating. She had a big room for them to roam and a fenced yard to keep them safe when out for potty breaks. She had a whole set up for them with a raised dog bed, XLarge crate, raised food dishes, and a large water dish in the big safe room they were in. Will be using her again in the future!”
“Kathleen was great. She kept us updated each day of our trip how Charlie was doing and sent pics of him. Highly recommend her for watching your pet! It was so nice knowing he was being taken care of properly while we were away! Will definitely rebook in the future! Thanks Kathleen!”
“Sherlin was great and she was happy with my Buffy. She gave Buffy a great report card. Sherlin sent pictures & updates on Buffys stay which quieted my fears. Would definitely use Sherlin again and Sherlin would welcome Buffy back anytime.”
“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!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kirk & Anita and their home. Our dog is very large and needs a good workout every day. Their property is perfect with huge fenced in enclosures with lots of fun areas for the dogs to explore. They sent daily photos and updates and were willing to work around our schedule. Finn came home clean and exhausted along with a little goodie bag! We will definitely use them again!”
“Thanks again for taking such good care of our sweet little Presley! Our minds are completely at ease when we leave her in your kind and capable hands! Rudy& Beverly Meyers”
“Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Lori was amazing with our 6 year old basset hound. Our dog felt right at home when she stayed with her. Usually our dog gets nervous and can’t wait to leave when boarded. I will definitely use her again.”
“On meeting Jim and his wife we instantly knew our 12 year old dog would be well cared for. On return from our trip, our dog barely said hello to us, then ran back to Jim. We feel very fortunate to have found Jim and highly recommended him.”
“Mariah took such great care of our Trixie. She updated us with photos regularly, which was comforting for us since have never left her alone before. We will definitely use her again. Thanks Mariah!”
“Lisa was wonderful with Theo my cat. He responded very well to her gentle, soft spoken, and kind manner. He often slept with her and would make bread while sitting on her lap. She has plenty of space for him to run and play. The thing I'm most grateful for is the fact she doesn't have carpeting. One very unique and creative thing she did was using a small canvas she'd take the colors from his coat and applied them to the canvas and put the canvas in a zip lock bag. Than using Theo's paws would let him create a special piece of artwork. Which she gave to me when I picked him up. She is truly Amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to leave my fur babies with her again.”
“As always, Tim and Lisa are amazing with your furry child. Bailey always enjoys her stays and we highly recommend bring your furry child to them. Their family will treat them as their own.”
“Rebecca and her husband were amazing with my dog. They were available on short notice without having met us before and as soon as I met them I knew Drummond would be in good hands. They kept in contact with me and sent pictures which just made it easy to relax during my vacation. I highly recommend them and will definitely be asking for their help again. If I could give them 6 stars instead of 5 I would!”
“Angela responded to my questions promptly, and made me feel at ease leaving my dog for the first time with a Rover caregiver. She texted with updates and photos. Boomer was in great hands, and I’ll definitely use her again!”
“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!”

“I can’t possibly say enough good things about Marci and her family and how they took such good care of our two wonderful dogs for 10 days. This was the longest we have ever left the dogs and Marci made us feel so reassured while we were away with unbelievable updates pictures and videos. They showed incredible love to our dogs and we are forever grateful I cannot recommend Marci enough! Thank you Marci and family! ❤️”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Petersburg on Rover is $44.4 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 165 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 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.
