“Katie was fantastic! Super helpful and communicative setting everything up for our first time with her. Kept the dogs loved and entertained (including a pool party!) while we were vacationing. And they came home looking better than when we left. Will definitely want to have them spend time with Katie again in the future.”
“Janelle and Bob took very good care of Maggie. She looked happy and well cared for when we picked her up. She loved running around in their fenced in yard. We will definitely trust them with Maggie again. Highly recommend.”
“Jeanne watched our two dogs while we went on vacation. One is older, one is young. Jeanne was extremely responsive from the introductory meeting to picking them up. She has a nicely fenced yard for several dogs and a barn area to let them run around and play. It worked out great. They both seem happy and relaxed after their stay with Jeanne. We recommend her if you are in the Southern Maine area.”
About: I know how important it is to find the right person to watch over your pets. My home is a haven for dogs, with a fully fenced-in backyard where they can play, sniff, sunbathe, and explore safely. My Golden Retriever, Marshall, is a sweet and well-loved boy who adores making new friends. He loves to play with other dogs, nap on the couch, and splash in a pool on a hot day. I always make time for my dog whether it’s taking walks during breaks, playing in the yard, enrichment games, or sunbathing time (for the dogs, not me) I have a fully fenced in backyard that always has fresh water for the pups. There’s plenty of toys to play with, shade under a gazebo, and on a hot day, a mini pool to cool off in! The yard is treated with all natural, pet safe flea and tick deterrent.
“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.”
“We left our Cooper (very last minute!) with Jennifer these past 3 days, and felt as if we left him with Family! Jennifer was so attentive to Cooper and every few hours she sent us pictures of him. It was truly a most wonderful experience, and Jennifer was a loving, caring and thoughtful host! So much gratitude to her and her beautiful family!!”
“Lance and Collette’s family are very Responsible, flexible, and friendly. Our slightly anxious,excitable doodle Sam Seems to always have a good time with them and we’re planning to drop them off again a couple more times this summer. recommended!!”
“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!”
“We are so thankful to have found Nicholas as our dog sitter. He takes such great care of our English Bulldog and all her skin needs while we are away, her wrinkles looked great when we returned! And Nicholas sent us pictures every day! Penny loves her visits there! Highly recommend!”
“Veska and her family are wonderful people. My dog enjoyed his visit and Veska was more than understanding of our delay picking up. She kept my dog one more night without a problem and sent me pictures that she captured of my dog looking happy, comfortable and feeling right at home ! Will definitely be my first choice the next time I leave town.”
“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”
“Katie and family were fantastic. Lily and Lucy had loads of love. Lucy told me she wanted to stay but I told her Lily would miss her. Lol... all in all I highly recommend Katie.”
“Wonderful first experience with Andrea! She is such a wonderful caregiver. Very welcoming and kind. Put Freddie at ease as well as myself. He enjoyed being in the snow in her large yard. He made a new friend with Chole! Always able to get in touch with and also received many great pictures. 5 Stars great caregiver!!”
“Kelly took excellent care of my dog while I was away for the weekend, and she was so communicative and kept me totally up to date. She was also so patient when my pup unfortunately had an upset tummy! Thank you Kelly!”

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!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rochester on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 360 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.
90% 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.
