“Shivambika was very responsive when our dog was with her for three days. We received updates daily and our dog was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy with someone besides family and Tory knew how nervous I was about this. But she calmed my nerves & was giving me constant updates with pictures which is what I loved. I would definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you Tory for being trustworthy, honest & caring towards Niko♥️”
“Laura and Joe are amazing! They genuinely care for each dog that come into their home. Bailey felt very comfortable besides her anxiousness from being away from home. She relaxed enough to lay on their patio and couch. If you have a German Shepherd you know.”
“Eunju spoiled our labrador completely! She took her to various parks for long walks and puppy adventures. Eunju makes it easy to travel with peace of mind, sending daily updates & taking care of our dog so lovingly.”
“Thanks Adam and Ying! I left Saginaw with them for a quick 48h work trip. They are my go-to sitters for their flexibility and proximity to my home. Saginaw knows them well and is super excited to go see them!”
“Katie was the best!! She took such a good care of my energetic pup, you could see Maya was very happy at Katie’s. Katie kept me informed and sent me pictures and videos throughout Maya’s stay. I was kept at ease and I knew Maya was in good hands. I’d recommend Katie to everyone who needs excellent dog sitter services. You rock Katie!!! Thank you for everything and we will see you in near future :) Liz”
“Ilona and her boys took wonderful care of my cat. My cat is a bit of a challenging guest but they were patient with him, helped figure out how to get him to eat when he wasn't eating well, and sent me lots of updates. I felt that he was in very good hands.”
“So happy once again that Cynthia was able to care for our 3 fur babies while we were away! They can be a handful and she has very capable hands! We even had to add in a medication for one of our dogs while we were away, due to him having some stomach issues. She was happy to help and made it happen despite him not wanting to take the medicine easily. Always our number one pick! Our dogs love her!”
“I could not have asked for better sitters for our 10-month old puppy! Amy and her family went above and beyond to care for Jojo and ensure she had a great time while we were out of the country on a 10-day vacation. I can't thank them enough for giving us a worry-free vacation, with daily pictures and videos and hilarious updates. Not to mention Finley was the best boy and companion for Jojo! Amy cared about every detail prior to our departure to ensure Jojo was safe and well taken care of. We are so lucky to have found Amy and family (and Finley) and would recommend them in a heartbeat.”
“Danielle and her family were so great with my high energy, high anxiety border collie. She was super communicative in advance and was flexible with my crazy travel hours. When we got to their house to drop Callie off, she immediately took off into their huge, fenced in backyard, and I knew she’d have a great time there. Not only did Danielle and her family play with Callie, but even the neighborhood kiddos came to throw frisbees for her. I know she’d love to go back, and I’m happy to recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a fun time for their pup!”
“This was our first time having Lia & Jonathan watch our dog, Ringo. His stay at their home exceeded our expectations. Ringo had a great time on their large property and went for walks regularly. There was daily communication with photos and videos so we could see how he was doing. It was a great immersive experience for him playing with the other dogs for the week, and he's definitely tired... in a good way! We have already rebooked!”
“Sogol was nice, kind, thoughtful helpful, caring.... I could go on and on. She not only took great care of O.C., she sent pictures regularly and informative updates almost hourly! "Thank you" is not enough. Sogol is wonderful.”

About: I have over 30 years of combined experience caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve lovingly owned three toy poodles, two cats, and a doxie Terrier mix. My little one also enjoys spending time with furry friends and learning how to be gentle and caring with animals. While I plan to welcome another dog into our family in the future, for now I’m excited to help care for and love on other families’ pets as if they were my own. I have a very flexible schedule and the ability to provide plenty of attention, care, and companionship for your pet. I’m available on weekends and two flexible remote-work weekdays. This gives me the ability to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and consistent supervision throughout the day. I have a front and backyard, including a partially fenced backyard area, with plenty of open green space nearby for safe walks and outdoor time. My neighborhood is extremely pet-friendly and surrounded by grassy areas, and a nearby park perfect for walks, fresh air, and new sights and smells to keep your pup happy and engaged. There are always friendly neighbors and fellow dog walkers out and about, making the environment feel welcoming and social for pets. Your dog will receive lots of love, attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I understand how important routines, patience, and comfort are when caring for someone else’s furry family member, and I strive to create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where pets can feel right at home. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles on the couch, relaxing walks, or simply having company nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their personality and needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
Eunju watched our mini Bernedoodle for two weeks. She sent detailed updates and even took the dog to the vet as needed for her red, itchy paws. She walked our dog twice a day and even took her for an event at the downtown park. She made our vacation worry free. Highly recommend her and will use again in the future.
Andrea took very good care of my dog Sadie. Treated Sadie like she was her own fur baby. Sent photos every day to show how happy Sadie was and how things were going. I would definitely recommend Andrea as a pet sitter for your fur baby. I plan to use her again in the near future.
If we could give Mary 6 stars, we would! Our dog truly looked like she was living her best life at Mary’s house. She sent so many fun pictures and updates throughout the weekend, putting our mind at ease. She even took our girl on multiple walks to get her energy out and she came home soooo happy! So glad we found Mary, she is incredible!
Hongjun was incredibly friendly and made us feel at ease right away. She sent us lots of photos during our dog’s stay, which really reassured us. In the photos, our dog looked so relaxed and comfortable — it was clear that she was cared for like a family member. Our dog is quite picky and preparing her meals can be a bit of a hassle, but Hongjun handled everything so thoughtfully, which we truly appreciated. On top of that, her husband is a great animal photographer and even gifted us a wonderful photo of our dog! We would absolutely love to ask them again in the future. Highly recommended!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rochester
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rochester on Rover is $42.8 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 1,453 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rochester. 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.
96% of Rochester 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 Rochester 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 Rochester 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 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 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 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.
