“People say they love animals, but not everyone truly does! I believe Kimberly truly loves animals. I feel she treated my puppies like they were hers. I am fairly new to leaving my girls with a sitter, Kimberly put my mind at ease. She sent a lot of updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. I will have Kimberly watch Thelma and Louise anytime I need a sitter again.”
“Angela and her family are such a dog-loving and caring bunch! Echo is so lucky to be with them. Our sincere thanks to Angela, who took pictures and videos of their interaction with Echo! Elaine, Andy and Echo”
“Jerrie was a lifesaver, and the best sitter for my puppy. Her home is the perfect place for a dog with enough outdoor space to run around. Don't leave your dog at a kennel, call Jerrie.”
“Our pup had a great time at Kevin's house! He has a big fenced area where the dogs can run around and has trails around his property. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog there, as they are part of the family and can even sleep in his bed. We got lots of pictures and updates. Our dog loves chasing the ball, and they did lots of that! I would 100% recommend Kevin and am happy to have found a place for Argus when we are on vacation! Thanks Kevin and partner!!”
“Annmarie did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 month old fur baby!. Her communication while watching our fur baby was great and we appreciated receiving pictures of her playing and getting all the cuddles. We will absolutly book Annmarie for any future dog sitter needs and highly recomend her!!.”
“Completely forgot to tip & leave my review. Always 10/10 with Kat! Timber loves to go there & we know he’s well taken care of and living his best life with all of his friends!”
“Alexis took amazing care of my dog! The day-to-day at her property is extremely enriching, and she kept my herding breed dog feeling fulfilled. She sends multiple photos and updates throughout the day, and in each of them, my dog looks so happy. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and understands the precautions needed for my dog, who is not dog-friendly and only takes one booking at a time, which I find extremely responsible and gives me peace of mind. She bathed my dog before we picked her up, and I had such great peace of mind knowing not only that my dog was well cared for, but she was having a vacation of her own. I have very high pet care standards, and Alexis went above and beyond.”
“Highly recommend. They have a beautiful home with a nice, spacious backyard. Marianne and Josh are kind and have a lot of experience with dogs. With two sweet dogs of their own, my dog had built in companions while I was away. They are warm, welcoming, and sent lots of cute/funny pics & updates. Your dogs will be loved open arms. So grateful my dog could spend the holiday with such a thoughtful, warm, and fun family! Thank you so much for loving Chai!”
“We received daily updates and pictures of Chewy which we really appreciated. Keep was also very responsive to questions, and promptly communicated, which put our minds at ease. Chewy looked brushed, and even smelled good when picked her up. Overall experience was so much better than boarding her at a kennel!”
“Desiree and Steve again took wonderful care of our havapoo for a week+ vacation. Our dog got lots of cuddles and came home happy and healthy. They communicated well during our trip and sent pictures. We would definitely recommend them to others.”
“Absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to keep my puppy for a 4-day weekend! So nice, very knowledgeable about dogs and proper care, and sent me pictures every day of them on walks and hanging out together. She goes in depth with talking to you about keeping up with your schedules/routines you’ve set at your home along with making sure all vaccines, flea/tick, etc are up to date (which I really appreciated). My puppy is super shy of people at first but he warmed up to her so quickly (dogs know dog people!!) I will definitely have her keep him again, full trust!”
About: I have been a veterinary assistant for about 2 years and love animal science. Eventually, I want to become a veterinarian- but for now I have my Bachelor's in Arts and Science from UW tacoma. I have 3 friendly dogs and a fenced-in yard. My dogs are kennel- trained and understand that sometimes other dog friends need space before being playful. I am a stay-at-home mom of one child and two friendly dogs. I am home almost everyday and able to care for your pet hourly if needed. My yard is huge, grassy and fully/securely fenced. Your dog can interact with mine or you can request to keep them separate, as I can accommodate that as well. My dogs spend most of their time in my fenced-backyard. They have space to run and trees for shade. They all like to take turns chewing on bones I give them, lay in the sunshine, play tug-o-war with the rope toy. Dogs are crate trained so if your dog needs attention separately I can accommodate easily.
“Toni was so great with our 2 pups. Very understanding of our dynamic with our oldest dog. She kept us updated at all times with pictures and messages of how the dogs were doing which put my mind at ease. Definitely recommend using Toni and will for sure be using her services again in the future!”
“Jennifer and her family had such a welcoming space for our golden retriever Toast! There was a lot of communication and pictures sent, not to mention her dogs were great companions for ours. Definitely plan to have Toast stay with Jennifer again if we’re ever back in the area!”
“Olivia took great care of both our pups for an entire week. We received daily updates and pictures, and the pups always looked happy 😊 We will certainly be using her services again! I highly recommend her.”
“Pamela was a dream! She loved our Aurora instantly and she was so well received by her other two small dogs she owns. My dog played every moment of the day at Pamela's Puppy Play Palace! She sent us regular updates of pictures and videos. It was clear she loved our dog like her own. Pamela has plenty of time for care and concern for our dog during the week with multiple walks and extra special love. Pamela was very conscientious about all our doggy needs and asked a lot of care questions. We are so thankful for her and will be using her again and again. Highly recommend!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rochester on Rover is $33.3 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 283 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.
98% 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 WA 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.
