“Samantha took amazing care of my little cat and guinea pig . She was on time , commutative and showed that she really has a big heart that cares about people and their animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for her amazing service.”
“Sheryl and Anna are the BEST! They kept me updated as my dogs settled in, they sent photos of my dogs playing with their corgi, they shot photos of their 3 kids loving my dogs, and it was so reassuring while I was away. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or ask for them to sit my dogs again. Randy”
“Alysia’s service is top notch! Her family was so caring and treated my pup like family. Our pup came home content and he had so much fun. Great communication and updates. Thank you!!!”
“Shiloh was well taken care of during his five days with Debra and her family, and he loved running in her huge high-fenced yard with her doggies. I will definitely consider leaving him with Debar on future trips.”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dog, Pippa, than Tara! She watched Pippa for 10 days and treated her like part of the family. Tara was reliable, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals — Pippa absolutely adored her. We got regular updates and photos that showed just how happy and comfortable Pippa was. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving hands. Tara went above and beyond in every way — we came home to a happy dog. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“😍Nadya was fantastic! 🤩 My 4 year old Cavalier loved spending time with her and her family and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Lots of updates and photos, we’d be happy to book with her again! She and her family are definitely people who love pets, love dogs, love spending time with them.”
“Millie absolutely loved her time with Larisa and Daisy! Larisa made sure to keep me updated on their daily adventures and send lots of pictures. Millie took multiple trips to the beach and walks at the bogs. We are very happy with the service and support Millie received while staying the weekend 😊 We will definitely reach out again for any pet sitting needs!”

“Kathy treated our Pete like one of her own, we felt very comfortable knowing he was happy and being well taken care of. We will definitely leave Pete with Kathy again, we highly recommend her!”
“Cheyenne was amazing! My boy Leroy is a classic Velcro dog. He thinks he’s a person, so he always has to be with his human pack. Cheyenne made sure he was included in everything, and sent the cutest pictures that both cracked me up and made me miss him even more while I was gone. I felt so relieved and comfortable, knowing she was taking such good care of him. Even though we just met her, they totally clicked on their meet and greet so I knew my baby boy was in good hands.”
“Jeremy & Rui took fantastic care of my pup for the week we were on vacation. He looked so healthy, happy, and well-exercised! They sent loads of pictures & videos throughout the week. Will be using their services again!!!!”

“Can’t say enough good things about Karen! We just moved here and were so nervous to find a good sitter.. Right off the bat Karen was so gentle and kind with Goldie, sent tons of picture updates, was quick to respond, and I never once felt worried or anxious! Also her dog Juni is the sweetest dog on the planet :) even with their size difference Goldie and Juni became sweet friends!”
“Amanda and her family made sure that Mac felt right at home! She provided updates so I knew he was doing well and having fun while I was away. I absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking to board their pups! Mac can be anxious but he felt at ease and seemed really excited to be there. Amanda is my new go to sitter and I’m so glad to have found her. ☺️”
“Hannah was so accommodating and patient for my anxious chihuahua mix. She had plenty of supplies on hand and other extras to make sure my dog felt comfortable. Her home was clean, tidy, and welcoming. Hannah’s great with sending photos and communicating quickly. I would love to book her again in the future, and I absolutely recommend using her services for your next pup sitter! :)”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rochester is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $64 and $81 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 Rochester 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 Rochester 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 Rochester.
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 Rochester 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 MA 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.
