“Sheree did a great job taking care of my dog, Theo. She constantly kept me updated on how he was doing and sent plenty of pictures. Theo seemed to have a lot of fun with her dog Charlie. I would definitely book with her again if I’m in need of another sitter!”
“We were very nervous about leaving our chloe for the 1st time but Amy and Patrick were wonderful. They messaged us daily and sent pictures of chloe making as feel at ease. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Amanda was just what we were looking for! Our fur baby is a11 year old Golden Retriever with some heath issues. We really wanted to find a caring person with children( she loves kids) we knew this would cheer her up,and we were right! As a matter of fact when we picked her up it was almost like she wanted to stay! She was depressed for the first day we brought her home, which to us it was a good sign that she had a good time! We will be bringing her to Amanda in October. I highly recommend her!”
“Heather never disappoints! Our pup loves to stay with her! Heather goes above and beyond to make sure all her "guests" are loved and cared for. She sends pics and videos almost daily. I never have to think about whether Scooter is being well taken care of or not. We even had a major flight change and Heather was more than happy to have him longer than expected. He is booked for the following week again. He has met many other friends at his stay.”
“Amber was amazing to our dog Kenzo. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures and messages. She really cared for him and I could tell Kenzo was very happy. I will definitely book with her again for our next trip.”
“I am so glad that I found Stacy! She took excellent care of our Franklin, and 11 year old terrier. He loved looking out of her windows, sunning on the deck, and hanging with her pup. Stacy was great with communication and super flexible. Franklin will definitely be back next summer when we visit the area. I felt so comfortable and knew that Franklin was in good hands while on my trip. Thanks Stacy!”
“Melody took excellent care of our Ziggy! Ziggy was very hapoy hanging out with Melody. Ziggy is content to have interesting walks, to eat all her food and snacks and to sleep. Melody did well with all of that. I would highly recommend her. 🙂”
“I had a great experience with Jo-Ellen! My dog was very well taken care of. She was very happy to be in a home with another dog her size. I got pictures and updates throughout the entire weekend. And Jo-Ellen is just such a kind person. Will absolutely use in the future!”
“Genalind is reliable, trustworthy, and incredibly caring! Her and her family watched our pup - Hershey - for 10 days and provided excellent care. Communication was perfect throughout the entire stay, she provided both pictures and videos, daily, of our pup enjoying his stay at her home. Hershey was so happy and content when we got home. 10/10 service—we will definitely book again!”
“This is the second time we have boarded with Ms. Anna - I cannot say enough praise - she is amazing with our high energy Husky! She sent updates and photos and genuinely loves animals. She is our go-to caregiver :)”
“Jordan's care for our 3 dogs during our 3+ weeks away was nothing short of amazing. She is warm and friendly and the pups (and I) knew immediately that they were in good hands. The large fenced in area at her home was like vacation for our guys and the photos and videos she provided were enjoyable and gave us peace of mind knowing that they were having as much fun as we were. Ours was a big ask and on fairly short notice and Jordan handled it smoothly and professionally. We fully intend to book her again (if they didn't wear her out). Outstanding service.”
“I wanted to go visit my daughter who lives 3 hrs away, I couldn’t take my dog with me. I searched the website and found Kyle N. He is a wonderful person, kind and professional. He took good care of my baby Rocky, send me pictures of him making himself at home and taking him on a walk. I will consider him anytime and recommend him to anyone. You rock Kyle N.”

There are 716 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Akron. About 93% 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 PA 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.
