“Katie was great with our lab Oscar! We went away for a long weekend and she treated him like her own. It was wonderful knowing he was in great hands and having a good time.”
“Rebecca was amazing! She allowed us to settle our dogs in and that’s when I knew they would be happy and cared for like we do. She sent us regular updates (video and photo) we felt very comfortable. It was our dogs first night outside of our home and she made it stress free, would highly recommend Rebecca and we would definitely reach out again.”
“Jeanne was great. We were away for almost two weeks. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures of Roxy playing. It was very comforting to see she was enjoying herself!”
“Nicholas replied quickly, sent great pics and made our pup feel at home for his weekend out. Chris "went the extra mile" in several ways to ensure our pup had tons of fun! We will for sure use him again when in the area”
“Hannah and her family were really great at taking care of my pup! I really appreciate her communicativeness and her flexibility. I had no concerns while she was taking care of my dog and would absolutely use her again for future boarding needs!”
“Jaclyn is so, so wonderful. She went above and beyond with our dog Yogi! She send many photos and videos (with our permission) so we could see how he was doing. He looked very happy and comfortable. He had a great time playing with the other dogs. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone! This was our first time using Rover and now I feel like we have very expectations of care :)”
“Noreen is the absolute best! She took such great care of our large dog while we were away, sending pictures and updates which kept the family happy while we missed our boy. Not only was she incredibly great to our boy and us and a great communicator, but she also showed great patience for me and was incredibly flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”
“Julia was amazing with our puppy and went above and beyond to take care of him as well as to keep us up to date with how everything was going, would highly recommend her to anyone”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“Michelle did an excellent job. She kept me up to date with photos and messages for the 10+ days she was taking care of my dog. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her. Would definitely use her again!”

“My husband and I were a little nervous about leaving our puppy for an overnight with a stranger. We had only ever left our dog with family before. But after meeting Andrea, she put our minds at ease. It is clear Andrea is very passionate about dogs and has two really great pups of her own. She treated our puppy, Winnie, like she was one of the family. Andrea was was quick to respond to all of our messages and very flexible about pick-up and drop-off times. We loved getting lots of updates on Winnie, and it was clear from the pictures she was right at home with Andrea. We love Andrea, and would 10/10 recommend her.”
“Veska is my new favorite go to person to care for our Gracie! She was awesome providing my family photos and daily updates. Very evident our Gracie became part of her family for her 2 week stay! Highly recommend!!”
“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”
“My dog Beau had a great time staying with Karen. She has an awesome setup in her yard to allow high-energy dogs like mine to run and play. It’s clear she has a lot of experience caring for animals and that gave me peace of mind while I was away!”
“Kiana was truly amazing. I had a sudden family emergency that required me to go out of state. She went so far above and beyond during that time, while having no obligation to do so. From the beginning of the cats stay with Kiana, she had been so incredibly flexible, she agreed to watch them with only two days notice, and due to the situation evolving and becoming unpredictable, she was more than happy to allow me to extend their stay. She was the direct cause of so much stress relief due to knowing the cats were safe, and well taken care of. 5/5 human. As for her actual care of the kitties she again went well above and beyond anything anyone might think is going the extra mile. The cats were given the space needed to become comfortable and very quickly, and happily adapted to the new routine. I received frequent pictures and videos, she was very communicative, and because of her vigilance we were able to create a plan of action for one of the kitties who started throwing up more frequently than normal. She even went out and bought higher quality food for the cats, and implemented a structured feeing strategy so we could better assess the puking, which I doubt was an easy task since they both free fed before they were boarded. She kept me up to date at all times and provided regular, detailed updates. 5/5 for animal care as well. She is the best sitter/boarder I have ever had any experience with, by exponents, it’s not even close. Her service was head, and shoulders above anyone I’ve personally used before and far better than anything I’ve heard about other boarders. Choosing Kiana to care for your pets should be an insanely easy decision for anyone who wants their animals taken care of at the highest level of care, and wants someone that is just a straight up good human as well.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Rochester is $60
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
Katie did a wonderful job watching our labs. They’ve stayed with her twice now, and each time she has been reliable, attentive, and incredibly caring. It’s obvious she treats our dogs with the same love and affection she has for her own adorable pup, Crumb, and they always seem to have a great time with her. Right before their most recent stay, one of our labs developed an ear infection, and Katie was kind enough to add ear medication to her care routine on short notice without hesitation. That level of flexibility and compassion gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs received and would absolutely trust Katie with them again and again. Highly recommend!
Rebecca is amazing! My pups had the absolute best time! She is extremely communicative and sent tons of much appreciated photos. This was my little dog's first time away from home and he's exceptionally choosy about his people.... well the little man fell head over heels for Rebecca and didn't want to come home. She was able to give my very different dogs exactly what each of them needed to feel safe and happy, and I feel incredibly lucky that we found her!

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 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 NH 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.
