“This is my second time using rover and find it a little scary how my ludo will react to being in a different household with other dogs and cats. Miranda was very reassuring and sent me more than enough pictures of how well ludo was doing when getting comfortable in a new environment. I highly rec booking with Miranda as she is a great care taker! Could not be happier that ludo was watched with such care!”

About: I've been working with, caring for and training dogs since 1993 when I got my first pup (an Old English Sheepdog) and read the Brian Kilcommons book "Good Dogs Great Owners". I've worked with dogs of many breeds, energy levels and ages. Trust your dog with someone who knows what he's doing. Fully fenced with two well-socialized house dogs to play with. I currently work from home part-time computer consulting/contracting. I have two dogs of my own so daily care of dogs is part of my normal routine. I provide calm assertive leadership and supervision. I provide exercise via walks or runs with the bike. I have walked as many as six dogs at once.

“We have high-strung but affectionate little dog who we had to leave for one of the first times since adopting her for a family vacation out of state. JoAnn was an excellent choice. She took such good care of our girl, playing with her, giving her lots of time outside in her big back yard, encouraging and supervising play with neighbor's dogs. And she provided constant communication with many photos. She even kept Minnie a little longer than anticipated due to a flight delay. We would definitely book with JoAnn again!”

“Dan and his family were excellent dog sitters for our pup who stayed with them for 3 nights. She is 7 months old and this was our first time leaving her with anyone so I was very nervous. We did a meet and greet and Dan and his family made us feel comfortable right away. During her stay, he was very responsive to texts and gave multiple updates about what they did and even sent pics! They have a nice background where our girl was able to run around and play and their house is very spacious and clean. They took her on multiple long walks during her stay and when we picked her up on Sunday and brought her home I could not believe how exhausted she was! She’s a puppy with lots of energy so to see her passed out means she must’ve had a great time getting lots of attention and exercise! I definitely would not hesitate to have Dan dog sit again for us and I’m grateful to know I now have someone that she & I both trust & feel comfortable with. Thanks again to Dan & his wonderful family!”

About: Having cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for over 15 years, I treat every pet like family. I understand that each dog has unique needs, whether it’s energetic play and long walks, patient puppy routine reinforcement (crate training, gentle redirection, and potty breaks), or calm, gentle comfort for seniors. ​I take pride in creating a structured, safe, and positive environment so your dog feels completely at home. You can expect frequent photo updates, open communication, and thorough attention to routines, feeding schedules, and favorite quirks while you’re away. Pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine thanks to my flexible schedule. Because I work independently from home, I have wide availability throughout the day to provide attentive supervision, frequent potty breaks, feeding, and interactive play sessions. I can easily accommodate weekday drop-ins, walks, and daycare, as well as overnight boarding and weekend stays without leaving your pet unattended for long stretches. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-proofed environment where routines are respected and separate spaces can easily be arranged for feeding, rest, or crating whenever needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with complete respect, following your precise safety rules, leash protocols, and emergency procedures. You will receive regular photo and text updates so you always know your pup is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

“Zach and Kristin were amazing with Shrek! They sent tons of great updates and photos throughout his stay, which made me feel so comfortable knowing he was happy and having fun. They were also super flexible with my pickup time, which I really appreciated. Shrek clearly had the best time because he came home completely pooped! I would absolutely recommend them and would happily have them watch Shrek again.”

“Stephanie created a doggy paradise in her home. Every detail was so thoughtful, we were really impressed. She also took such great care of Alice, she loves being brushed and Stephanie instinctively discovered that on a first visit! Knowing my baby was being loved as much as we love her while we were busy was a big relief. We can’t thank you enough!”

About: I have taken care of many dogs throughout the years. I have had multiple dogs growing up, as well as fostering for a local Rescue for 9 years now. I have dealt with multiple breeds, sizes, and ages. 🐾 I work part-time and our teenage kids get home around 2:30. So on longer shift days they still have an option for midday potty breaks. We have a 6ft tall kennel area or a lot of land to explore, on leash. Also have a cable run. Will never have an unknown dog off leash.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Akron

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 341 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Akron. About 94% of Akron sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
