“We were so happy to have found Anna to watch Jagger for a last minute day trip we went on. She is a caring, kind, & thoughtful person. We could tell Jagger had a great day with Anna. We highly recommend her to take great care of your pet.”
“Genalind and the whole family were great with my dogs.. will definitely book with her again. Great pictures and keeping me posted with my dogs all day.. We loved that.. thank you so much”
“I chose Deb as my sitter the first time I used Rover and I will choose her again. If I have to leave him with someone again. She was fantastic with Levi. I much preferred the direct care of someone I can do a meet and greet with, get to know the person that is willing to care of my sweet Levi, like I do. She sent me pictures & up dates each day, they played outside every day, he slept in her bed. We go camping and Levi always goes with, but this time we went to an AirBNB (No dogs aloud) his first time away from us, and he did fine.”
“Gabrielle's home was perfect for our dogs. They had plenty of room to run around in the yard with her dogs, and she was so accommodating. She even borrowed a dog bed from her mom for our pup because she was nervous and overstimulated, the bed was her special place to escape. Gabrielle had no issues handling our dogs and gave them a great weekend stay! Thank you!”
“Tara and her husband were amazing with my girls! Bella and Violet came home exhausted and happy! They sent me picture updates and details on how they were doing. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Kyle was extremely responsive, patient, and attentive with both of my dogs. He was an excellent sitter who truly cared. My dogs had a great time! I will definitely ask Kyle to watch my dogs again in the future”
“Her gift with our companions is what will keep me coming back. When Amos came back, he was so tired from all the activity and friends he met, that is a sign to me that he had a good time. Use this home for any sitting needs!”
“I was so nervous to leave town since our anxious rescue is afraid of being alone. Mai was more than happy to accommodate him and I got so many updates about how much fun they were having together. He came back so exhausted from all the play dates and walks. Mai couldn’t have done a better job, and our puppy is going to look forward to coming here in the future! :)”
“We travel frequently and so happy to have found Amy and Patrick to add to our list of dogsitters! They are both so kind and welcomed our dog into their home! They provided pictures and updates frequently! Our dog always looked happy playing or walking! We will definitely be booking again!”
“At the meet and greet, when Kassandra first met my dog Tink,I instantly saw through her interactions with Tink that she was an avid animal lover. Her responses to my text messages were usually within the hour. While I was away she sent multiple pictures and updates. I would highly recommend Kassandra to watch your dog.”

Pet 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!"

The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 715 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 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 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.
