Brody really enjoyed his time with Kristen and Jeremy. They handled his meds, sensitive stomach, and gave him lots of cuddles. We will definitely be back!

Betsy did a wonderful job caring for my "high-energy" dog. She took him for multiple walks per day and played with him with his toys. Betsy also sent me multiple texts and pictures of my dog during the time that she cared for him. I don't think he would have received better care with anyone else, and I will definitely contact Betsy again in the future when I need a dog sitter; she's the best! Thank you, Betsy, for treating my dog like you would your own dog! 🐶

Absolutely wonderful pet care! Tanya and David were extremely accommodating to our two large dogs (rottweiler, belgian malinois). They have specialized diets that werent an issue and we received updates throughout our entire trip. You could tell they really care about your fur buddy just as much as you do. Definitely will be rebooking in the future.

Leaving Daisy for 3 weeks in a kennel would have broken our hearts. Instead she stayed with a wonderful family! Big thanks to Donna for taking tremendous care of our pup and putting our minds at ease while we were away. Great communication and plenty of pictures kept us in the loop. We will definitely use Donna again!!

About: Hi! My name is Vera, and caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. When your dog stays with me, they’ll become part of the family not just another pet. I provide a calm, clean, loving home where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of one on one attention. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a beautiful, quiet, dog friendly community with plenty of sidewalks, walking paths, and green spaces. I love taking dogs on regular walks so they can get fresh air, exercise, and enjoy exploring the neighborhood safely on a leash. What you can expect: 🐾 A safe, loving home environment 🐾 Multiple walks and potty breaks throughout the day 🐾 Plenty of playtime, affection, and companionship 🐾 Care tailored to your dog’s routine, diet, and any special needs 🐾 Daily photo and video updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness, patience, and love that I would want for my own. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog a home away from home! 🐶❤️ I’m available throughout the week and can provide your dog with plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and daily walks. I keep a flexible schedule, allowing me to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live in a quiet, pet friendly community with beautiful sidewalks and walking paths that are perfect for safe, leashed walks. I provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care they need. My goal is to create a calm, clean, loving environment where every dog feels like part of the family. I also send regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

Michael was very accommodating regarding booking my pup’s stay being that it was somewhat last minute. This was the first time I had booked with Michael, and everything was great. He was very attentive and communicated with me throughout the three-day stay. He did Pup Painting with her, and she came home with her masterpiece! I know my baby was taking care of, and I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Angelina, took great care of our two dogs. They were excited to see her when we dropped them off. They were happy to see us but ran back to Angelita several times before we left. The dogs were happy and all their bedding and bowls were clean when we got them back. We will definately use Angelina again.

Our dogs stay with Danielle and Bri was great! They took great care of our dog and even gave him a bath after a fun day playing outside at their beautiful homestead. It was peace of mind having a meet and greet before his week long stay but he joined their pack right away. Great communication and wonderful people.

About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!

Sheree did a fabulous job watching our mini golden doodle Caramel. Caramel stayed for two weeks and Sheree sent photos and videos. We were confident our little doggie was being taken care of and having a blast with her mini golden as well. She is a great dog sitter and we highly recommend her.

"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!"

FAQs for Boarding - Akron

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.
