“Kristin was a kind soul and a Godsend for our dog when we had to make plans in a hurry. Our dog is nervous around new people but she didn’t want to leave! Five stars. :)”
“I have used Rover for every trip we've taken over 2 years and I am confident my Cardigan Welsh Corgi Arthur has never received better care than the care he received from Betsy and Ron. I think they might take better care of him than we do at home! My only disappointment is that I didn't immediately secure dates for another upcoming trip and they are not available. I don't think you can find someone better to take care of your pet! We got daily updates and photos that reassured us that Arthur was in great hands- he was smiling in many of the photo updates!”
“Michael and family were great! He was very responsive and checked in every day. You could tell he cared for my fur baby and took great care of her. He listened to her routine and also spoiled her with lots of snuggles and attention. I’m not sure she actually wanted to come home! I would 100% recommend Michael- and I will be sending my fur baby to daycare camp with him again!”
“Kaylee was great with communication. Ans before Cooper's stay, she allowed us to have a meet and greet. During our travel she sent photos of our little guy that showed he was getting lots of attention. We will use her care again.”
“Donna was amazing! She kept me updated with pictures and funny stories about my pup Molly. I knew she was in great hands! She and her husband walked Molly and incorporated her into their daily lives. I highly recommend Donna.”
“Charissa, Shawn and family, provided EXCEPTIONAL care for our boy. He had such a great time that all he wanted to do was nap when he got home. (Which is fantastic as he is a high energy boy!) They had to navigate losing power to a horrible storm and yet still kept him safe and cool and provided updates as they could. It really felt like leaving him with family! 10/10 will book again!”
“Katrina was very kind and kept me informed thru texts and photos. She also took good care of Murphy and continued with his ear care regimen. Murphy seemed to enjoy playing with Katrina’s kids too!”
“Kona was welcomed and well cared for at Sara's. We had to return to the house to pick up something we forgot when we picked her up, and she got so excited when she saw their house. That says it all!”
“Absolutely amazing! We had such a great experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. She was so sweet, reliable, communicative, and treated our pups like they were her own. 🥹🐾 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, happy, and well taken care of while we were away. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies!”
“Rebecca was kind, friendly, responsive, and very attentive. She made me feel completely at ease and took great care of Lucky. She also kindly accommodated a last minute request to watch Lucky again the following day. Thank you Rebecca!”
“I really can't rave enough about how wonderful Jordan is. We have two 3 1/2 year old German Shepherd and one is very reactive. During their stay, we received videos and I was so pleased to see how happy and comfortable my girls were. They were running and playing and my "reactive" dog was as calm as could be. She took to Jordan right away and was not affected at all by the other dogs. Jordan REALLY knows what she is doing! I'm already trying to book my girls for another stay next month!”
“Very thankful for Beth's flexibility! She was able to watch my dog at her house (for the second time) when I had to go on a quick work trip with only a few days notice. She also sent me pictures of my dog to let me know that my dog was having fun!”
“If there were 7 STARS, that would have been my rating! Whenever we boarded Jasper, he came back with an issue. Either he stopped eating, changed habits, or simple was scared from other big dogs. We saw Angelita’s profile and shared our concerns. She was very responsive, and helped us to overcome these challenges. She kept an eye on his eating habits, she made him socialize with other dogs, and played with him as if he were her own. This is the first time that Jasper comes back home in a happy mood and without any issue. This made us SUPER HAPPY and comfortable! For the first time we can say we found someone who takes care of him as much as we would have. She loved him so much that Jasper came back home with GIFTS! For that, we would always think of her whenever we want to board him. You want someone to take care of your dog? With a blink of an eye, Angelita is the right person.”
“Boomers stay with Andrew was a great experience. I have never left my Dog with anyone before. Had a work assignment that required Travel. Andrew and Family took care of Boomer and will use the service again”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Akron is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Akron
"I highly recommend Tonya and David! They took exceptional care of our two boys, who have very different personalities and needs. One of our dogs struggles with anxiety, but Tonya and David were incredibly patient, gentle, and great with him. Right from the start during drop-off, they asked very thoughtful and intentional questions to make sure they understood our dogs' routines. It was clear our boys were truly loved and received top-notch care. We will use them again if needed!"

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Akron on Rover is $37.74 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 699 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Akron. 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.
94% of Akron 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 Akron 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 PA 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.
