“George was so good with our dog Ziggy. Our dog is a very anxious dog, so we worried how it would go- we had no worries with George taking care of him! Ziggy liked him right away and had a blast playing with him in the fenced in backyard. George made sure to spend a lot of time with Ziggy and sent us pictures and updates. 100% would recommend George!”
“Patti was wonderful with my Chihuahua Ella. She stayed for 4 days. I received daily updates and photos . My son picked her up and said you can really tell Ella loves Patti. I highly recommend her and will be booking again soon.”
“We had a great experience with Gabrielle! Everything went smoothly and Clover came home happy and well cared for. Gabrielle was so kind, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Lulu has stayed with Susan a number of times this year. She loves playing with new friends and seeing her buddy Frank. This weekend was another fun break for Lulu and for us.”
“This was our 3rd time using David to care for our fur baby, and we can't see ourselves using anyone else. Each time, David and his family went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and informed during Wrigley's visit. He treats Wrigley as if he is a member of the family, which puts our minds at ease each time we leave him. The communication is always WONDERFUL and Wrigley comes home happy and tuckered out. If a million star rating was an option........David would definitely get it from us!”
“Tolley and her family are so welcoming. Our dog, Boots, just made himself right at home. She sent us pictures and updates which is always a reassuring feeling too. Tolley was very flexible and accommodating with our schedule. . I definitely recommend Tolley and will be using her again to watch our Boots.”
“Wonderful experience boarding with Jenna! Lovely fenced yard, lots of love provided, and payed careful attention to my pups’ needs. Very friendly yet professional setting. Would reboard again without reservation!”
“Kelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with my sweet Myka. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my pup was being loved in her home as much as we love her in ours. She lives in a beautiful neighborhood with minimal traffic. Kids and families everywhere was perfect Would ABSOLUTELY use agin!!”
“Jason gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for the weekend! Regular updates and photos of our dog and was super flexible when our pickup time was changed. I was so happy when I read that he volunteers at his local animal shelter because that really shows how much he cares for dogs & that he can handle all types of dogs!”
“Chris did an AMAZING job with our two girls!! They are admittedly not the best walkers but it didn’t stop her from getting them out multiple times a day, would definitely book with her again!”
“We've had several Rovers but none as good as Lynn. She loves her clients like they are her own. She works from home so she gives lots of attention to your dog, including playing games with them. We have a picky eater and she got her to eat, usually twice a day. Her fenced in yard and covered patio were great. Our dog got walks when it wasn't too hot. We got lots of updates with pictures and videos.”
“We appreciate Michael & Regina for welcoming our two pups into their home. We were very happy with their stay and have already rebooked another one. Lots of photo/video updates and our guys came home looking spiffy as ever. Thank you!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim!! She was the perfect fit for my 8yr old Mal-Shi, Ella. She took such good care of my anxious little girl, giving her lots of love & comfort, as well as paying attention to the details of her care. She absolutely treated her like the queen that she is.”
“I'm so happy I chose Swetha to watch Kodiak while I was on vacation. She sent multiple pictures a day, took care of his couple dietary needs, and took him on walks. I will absolutely reach out to Swetha the next time I travel and any time I need daycare.”
“Marie is an awesome person, who cared for my buddy Wally like he was her own. I was quite anxious about leaving Wally—since this was first time away for an extended period, and it was Wally’s first time away from home. Marie has a secure fenced in backyard and places on the inside for play and break time. She fed Wally as instructed and sent pics everyday. She and Jorge took wonderful care of my Wally and I unequivocally recommended her as an outstanding dog-sitter. I’ve also used Marie several times in the past as a drop-in at my house when I was on quick over-nights. Thank you Marie!”
“Susan and her husband were great to work with. Our dog Max felt right at home. I will certainly have them watch our dog the next time we need a sitter! Thanks Susan!”
“Daniel and Rachel were wonderful with Yote and Tofu! They sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated all the walks and having a fenced in yard for them to enjoy. Both dogs seemed happy and well cared for when we picked them up. We would definitely have them watch Yote and Tofu again!”
“Kathleen and Nathan took great care of our dog, Ruthie. Lots of pictures and we really felt like they treated her like family. Will definitely ask them to watch Ruthie next time we travel!”

Ms. Jenna was very good with Stormi. There were a couple bumps in the road, but we were able to handle that. I would love to have Ms. Jenna as Stormi’s dog sitter in the future if she decided to do puppies again. I recommend Ms Jenna to everyone. Also, she provided pictures throughout today. It was so nice. She went out of her way to make things better for Stormi and I did appreciate that. Her set up for the dogs in their own area was great. Ms. Jenna would be my first choice to keep my puppy if she decided to do puppies again.😉😊
Sarah was wonderful with our super anxious pup and our complicated schedule. We were in Akron for a week (kid's sporting event) so didn't get to meet her before we dropped our dog off, but Sarah spent a lot of time trying to get to know our dynamics and needs over the phone. She was wonderful at "following the dog's lead" in the transition time and finding ways to calm her during the week including calming music, aromoatherapy and lots of treats. We enjoyed the videos (with her narration), photos and texts that she regularly sent and appreciated her transparency, communication, and hard work to ensure that our dog's stay and our comfort was her top priority. Thanks Sarah!
Caitlin was so great with my dog and made her feel at home for the weekend. Her care and attention to detail were obvious from our first meeting. She sent updates the entire weekend which gave me the peace of mind to enjoy a weekend away. Can’t recommend her enough and will be reaching out to her again!!
Our pups had a wonderful weekend and were very well cared for! Taylor has the perfect pup friendly neighborhood & fenced back yard. She was extremely kind and communicative. We felt extremely comfortable that our puppy and senior lady were in good hands and enjoying their stay! Thank you!!
The “three J’s” were great at accommodating my last minute request by quickly arranging a meet and greet. They showed interest in learning about Ziggy‘a needs and making sure he felt secure in a new setting. Superb knowledge and expertise in doggie behavior. I highly recommend and look forward to using their boarding services again!
Shannon and TJ were a godsend when I needed help last minute! My dog made himself immediately right at home with them and I could see he was having a great time snuggling up with them in the photos I got. And Sophie was such a treat to get to meet too - I appreciate her sharing her parents with Auggie! 🤍
Hailey was absolutely wonderful , took such good care of my dog Klaus, sent me pictures and updates the entire time I was away, Honestly I would of never felt comfortable Leaving Klaus if it wasn’t for Hailey ,she literally is amazing with him , She made my dog feel like Family and he had a blast playing with his new Pal pilot , I’ll be using Hailey again, I highly recommend !
Mallery was fantastic! She cared for my pup while I was gone for a weekend trip and when I got back to pick him up he didn’t want to leave her! She sent me updates daily to let me know how he was doing, which always eases my mind while away from him. Will definitely be using Mallery again!

There are 771 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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 OH 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.
