“My dog only stayed with Kim for one night but I am super happy with the care he got, I received multiple photos and updates that put my mind at ease. Will rebook with Kim in the future!”
“Michael was a wonderful sitter for our Billie Jean. He is a great communicator who cared about keeping her both safe AND happy. She had a wonderful time. I highly recommend!!”
“Jerrie is awesome!! We were in a bind last minute when our dog boarding plans fell through but Jerrie saved the day. I was able to do a meet and greet prior where my dog, Trowa, was able to meet the other sweet pups staying at Jerrie’s. Trowa instantly hit it off with the others and had lots of room to play and explore outside. Jerrie sent updates twice a day with tons of photos of all of the fun they were having which made us feel much more comfortable having Trowa stay somewhere else while we were gone. Jerrie is kind, caring, and so communicative, I definitely recommend reaching out to her for any of your furry friend needs!”
“This was my first time boarding Freyja, and I was nervous about leaving her with someone she didn’t know. Angelle has a lot of experience with dogs and handled Freyja’s high energy really well. She sent me pictures during her stay, which helped put my mind at ease. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel comfortable having Angelle watch Freyja again!”
“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!”
“Meet with Keep before we dropped off Q-Tip. We talked for a while as he explored her yard. It was a great fit. We got daily pictures and messages on his well being. We will definitely use her again. Thank you.”
“We used Pamela for boarding our dog Maxwell. We were so please with the daily updates and photos Pam sent. We heard our dog made a good friends with her Schnauzer, that really impressed us. We are so happy we called Pam, and will definitely use her again. Anita Nightingale”
“Oh my gosh! We are so excited that we found Lauren! Not only is she a trained vet tech, but she was so kind and loving to our senior doggie! Our dog was happy to see us but without that “get me outta here” panic look!. Plus she is super responsive, smart, thorough, responsible, thoughtful and just all around sweet. We hope she continues providing boarding for dogs for a long while! Thanks, Lauren!”
“Jordyn was awesome with our little fur baby girl. Jordyn followed instructions that we had, and gave us daily text updates on her progress. We missed our fur baby while we were gone, but weren't worried because we knew she was in good hands. We will use Jordyn's services next time, whenever necessary. Thanks Jordyn!”
“Sheena took great care of our dog, who stayed with her for over two weeks! You can tell she genuinely cares. She sent daily photos with updates, which we really appreciated. Our dog came home healthy and happy. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Lisa was fantastic! Her communication was great well she had our dog over thanksgiving week and we were able to relax and enjoy family on our trip knowing that our Cierra was being well taken care of.. we will definitely use Lisa again!”
“This is the third time that Michael has taken care of Wednesday for me while I have to travel. I can honestly say that I don’t know what I will do if he is ever not available. I trust him completely in her care and she does very well with him. I highly recommend Michael if you’re looking for someone to care for your fur baby!!”
“Our worried whippets had a wonderful first stay with Margaret! Our girls usually don't eat much/if at all when staying with a dog sitter because they get separation anxiety being away from their family but they ate with Margaret which told me everything. Our girls were happy, safe, and comfortable. Margaret's other dog Mochi was a sweet heart too who was patient with our nervous pups. One of our dogs is scared of any dog bigger than her but Mochi gave her space and was gentle during our meet and greet. The pictures I received showed me how relaxed the pups were, which is exactly what they needed. We have definitely found a go-to dog sitter :).”
“Highly recommended! Our Mochi had a great time with Sanmi and June. Sanmi treated Mochi like family, and sent pics to show us how Mochi was doing. She's very conveniently located in Lacey. We'll definitely ask her to keep Mochi again! Thank You so much.”
“Taylor was absolutely fantastic! We boarded our German Shepherd with her for 16 days while we took an extended trip. She communicated with us frequently to let us know how he was doing and sent many pictures, which we greatly appreciated. We will absolutely book with her again.”
About: I have a mastiff pupper that is 6 years old who is a big cuddly baby. He is a male named Apollo. I grew up with animals and I have a love for them. I will treat your fur babies as my own. They will get a lot of love and attention and exercise. My dog plays well with other dogs but Apollo can be a little iffy when it comes to big males since he is not fixed! So a meet and greet is a must! I also can keep them separated if need be! If your doggo or mine needs some relaxing time or time to themselves I can have them be separated! My dog loves playing with new friends who love to play or relax! I’m a stay at home mom. So I have a lot of time to give your pup lots of love and attention! My dog and sons would love to play with your pup! I have a fenced yard for your pup to play out in with my dog and to also use the bathroom! I have a huge crate too just incase your pup needs some time by themselves or mine does! I can also separate them in the house or outside if they want to be away from my dog!
“I’m new to the area and didn’t realize when booking just how far away they lived from us lol We will 100% be booking again though, even with the nearly hour drive It’s tough leaving your dog while you’re out of town but they made it so much easier, sending videos and photos of her having a great time. It was clear she was genuinely being cared for, not just somewhere with someone doing the minimum. Can’t recommend them enough”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rochester is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $55 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.

As of October 2026, there are 271 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 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.
96% 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 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.
