“Katelin was wonderful with our 3 yr old corgi poo Lucy while we were out of town! We received photos of her regularly and loved that she and her family were so interactive with her. Lucy was well taken care of, we are grateful! Thank you Katelin!”
“Kelsi is a wonderful home and/or carer for your dog. She is responsive and exceptionally kind. It is obvious that she really cares about animals. While we were away, Kelsi kept me updated on how our dog was doing. You are in good hands with Kelsi!”
“We are so thankful for Enid and Joe. Our two dogs fit right in. They learned how to even use a doggie door. I noticed a little change in them for the good. They communicate daily and send pictures which is wonderful. We will absolutely continue using them. Not only are they great with the dogs. They are really kind people. We are happy to call them new friends. Their dogs are sweet and used to being around other dogs. They are worth hiring to care for your dogs. Highly recommend! Thank you, Edin and Joe.”
“Cinthia did an amazing job caring for my cats! she immediately communicated with me about how they were adjusting, sent photos, and was very friendly and easygoing when I reached out on short notice. My cats loved her and her kids!”
“Aricela was an awesome host. Both our cat and dog stayed with her for more than two weeks and returned home in great condition. Aricela sent daily pictures of each animal, and both appeared to be happy and enjoying themselves. Our family is greatly appreciative of the care Aricela provided to our animals while we were out of town.”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Clean house and taken care of. She was able to accommodate an extra night due to travel issues. 10/10 would recommend and book again. Sent daily pictures and videos as well.”
“Fantastic! She took great in-home care of our high energy pups who usually struggle with separation anxiety - they did not! They were happy and well adjusted when we returned. She even replaced their treats - above and beyond. Thank you!”
“Taylor took great care of our 7 year old Aussie. He got comfort and exercise. Taylor is a true dog lover. Unfortunately she is an hour away from us BUT worth it and close to the Indiana lake that we visit.”
“Ashley and Eric were absolutely wonderful! Trouble was only there a short time but he looked happy and extremely well taken care of. I will definitely be using them again if I need to go somewhere.”
“Edna was AMAZING! I have 2 senior doxies and 1 has very bad eye sight. She took her time with them especially my doxie with the bad eye sight who moves slow. I recommend her to anyone and will rebook with her again. She was also nice to provide pictures and updates while they were staying with her. That was nice.”
“I reached out to Raegan with a last minute request, and after a super prompt reply, and her asking all the right questions, we worked out a two-night stay for my dog at her place. She was easy to reach, kept me up to date on how things were going and sent pictures of my dog getting along splendidly with hers. She was flexible with our pick up time (because traffic is always a crapshoot) and Poppy looked happy when we got her. We will definitely keep Raegan on our list of great sitters!”
About: I am someone who loves pets of all types. I have years of experience with multiple types of animals and I love them all. If my pets could talk they would tell you to choose me. My job has multiple stretches of time off for me to care for your pets full time. If for whatever reason I am working on a time you are looking for a sitter I will always let you know my schedule in advance. But for the most part I will always be home. I have a decent yard. However, the yard is not fenced. I have 3 litter boxes in my home that are scooped daily as well as provide privacy. I have 3 cats who are all friendly with each other and love to play. Their ages are 4 years, and 2 of them are 7 months. All my pets are neutered and spayed. I also have a rabbit who loves to play with the cats as well. However, if you are uncomfortable with this idea he is also always willing to chill in his cage.
About: I have had over 30 years around pets. People trust me with their pets and love the care and attention that I give their pets. I substitute teach and also work part-time. I am mostly around late afternoons and on the weekends. As a fitness person, taking dogs when owner likes dogs to exercise is my favorite time with the pet. I keep the space open for the pets and also have toys for them to keep active and entertained. I also play with them often so they are well cared for.
About: I have 12+ yrs of dog handling experience. Ranging from shelter dog foster and rehabilitation. To becoming a certified professional trainer and owning a successful cage free boarding facility in southern IN. Visit Sycamore Dog Estate on Instagram or Facebook for previous experience. We have since moved and hope to have a similar facility once again when schedules allow. As the owner of a small hobby farm with acreage I have time to dedicate to my own animals and those in my care. I sim to be as flexible as possible. We strive to provide an enriching and engaging environment for all dogs in our care. They will be treated as if one of our own. All dogs will receive appropriate exercise and mental stimulation with added bonus of home comforts.
About: Growing up I lived on a farm. I had pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks, dogs and cats. I have always had a love for animals of any kind. I’m currently a stay at home mom. With that being said I would be able to take care of your pet at any hour through out the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house because I have 2 dogs of my own. If I were to come to your house to take care of your dog, I would be sure to take the dog out on a leash so that the dog doesn’t run off.
About: I have had a dog in my life for as long as I can remember. I have a passion for making them feel like they’re loved and just like family. I’m currently working part time as a at-home caregiver and so I have a fairly open schedule and work love to make some money in other ways and what would be better than spending my free time with dogs! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I have a car to commute to dog parks or a closed in yard. I also have a 6 year old Golden doodle who loves a play date!!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Akron on Rover is $36.51 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 63 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Akron. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 Akron 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 Akron.
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 Akron 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 IN 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.
