“My chocolate Lab Bruno sprints from my car to her door every time I drop him off there. Needless to say he loves staying with Jenni and her family,and we have the peace of mind knowing he is loved and well taken care of.”
“Our vacation was much more enjoyable knowing our dog was loved and cared for. I highly recommend Megan and her family for your dog sitting needs and will be using their services again in the future!”
“If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog as nice (if not better) than you do, well Debbra is that person! She treated Biscuit like he was her own dog. She kept him on his same schedule and provided him with the long daily walks he is used to. I could tell from the pictures she provided that Biscuit was comfortable and relaxed. He was so happy when I picked him up. Debbra is truly a dog lover and I will be using her services again!”
“I would give more stars if I could! Keith and Wendalyn took loving care of my darling Penny as if she were their own dog. Lots of fun walka, cuddle time, time outside. They also made sure Penny adhered to her somewhat strict diet but also got to enjoy some treats. Hoping to rebook with them for my next out-of-town trip!”
“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!”
“Amazingly accommodating. Derek was fair, flexible, friendly, and frankly, fun to work with. He kept us updated throughout the whole process. I think Misty was a bit sad to leave there to be honest. Thanks Derek ✌️”
“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“As always, Karin did an amazing job taking care of our dog Graycie. From daily pictures to even letting her crash a Thanksgiving family photo, she makes sure Graycie is taken care of and loved. We can’t thank you enough!”
“Sharon is so very kind and patient with the 4 legged babies. My dogs came home happy and tired. Her having a large, fenced in yard was awesome. I will definitely book Sharon again through Rover.”
“Julie was wonderful with our little Morkie. She treated our little girl like her own. Her dog is very friendly and they got along well. Highly recommend Julie as a dog sitter. Will definitely use her for future bookings and happy we found someone that could trust and likes our quirky little dog.”
“Kathy and James took incredible care of Kyle. They spoiled him, took him for walks and sent me numerous cute pictures of Kyle enjoying himself with a kong they let Kyle play with. Kyle loved the kong so much I’m getting him one today. I will definitely have Kathy and James take care of Kyle again. Wonderful care givers ❤️”
“Fantastic short stay for our large dog. My dog is shy and can sometimes struggle with new environments. We were given the flexibility of a meet and greet, but even without, the numerous photos were reassuring of my dog’s comfortability in Tina and Rick’s home. I am very appreciative of the updates throughout the day and taking the time to go out on walks. Will definitely be a future customer!”
“Patricia did a great job on keeping Luna while we went out of town. She sent me pictures and videos, which was nice. I would definitely recommend her and would definitely book her again.”
“My pups were very happy and healthy when I picked them up and incredibly tired from playing in Keeley’s yard! Incredibly grateful that they were in such good hands while we were out of town!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avon Lake
We had such a wonderful experience with Lea and her boyfriend Sasha! They truly had the best communication we’ve ever had with anyone on Rover. They’re an incredibly nice couple, and we felt completely comfortable knowing Charlie was in such great hands all weekend. They kept him active with tons of walks and gave him plenty of attention. We could tell he’d been very happy and well cared for while we were gone. We couldn’t recommend Lea and Sasha more and will absolutely be using them again!!!
Samantha and her family were absolutely amazing with our dog, Winston! They followed all of the directions we provided for his care, but most importantly, they gave him so much love and attention. They took him on frequent walks despite the rain, gave him plenty of pets, and showered him with affection. We truly couldn’t imagine relying on anyone else through Rover going forward. Samantha and her wonderful family were the best, and we’re so grateful they took such great care of Winston!
We absolutely loved Sabrina! She kept us updated with pictures the whole time our pup was there. Willow had a blast and was taken care of by her family as if she was their own. I would 100% recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for amazing care for their fur babies! 🐾🫶🏼
First time with Ashley and she was great! Our dog Mia was a rescue, and she brought some quirky things with her when we got her. Ashley was able to bond with Mia and made her feel comfortable and secure. We will definitely use her again and recommend her highly especially if you have a pet with some anxiety issues.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Avon Lake is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Avon Lake can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Avon Lake 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 Avon Lake.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avon Lake. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Avon Lake 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 OH 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
