“Lucy had such a wonderful stay with Jenni!! Jenni is so kind, caring, and accommodating. She provided a warm and cozy home and lots of extra attention. Jenni provided daily pictures of activities and walks. We could tell Lucy was well cared for. We are grateful to have found Jenni and to have had a happy place for Lucy to be while we were away!”
“We have taken our dog to Margaret a few times and would highly recommend! She took our dog for a walk in the park and sent photos during the stay. She has good quick communication. Well worth the cost knowing she is with someone who cares for her the same way we do!”
“Megan took great care of our dog Ruthie while we were traveling for a week. This was our third time leaving our dog with Megan. I know Ruthie is treated like she’s part of the family when she’s at Megan’s. Thanks again!”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing with our husky aurora! She has mild anxiety and we were a bit worried to leave her but Michelle made us feel so comfortable and Aurora and Michelle’s Pup Rocky seemed to have a blast! We loved all the pictures and updates we got! Will definitely be using her on our next time out of town!”
“Eric & Polly were great with Nyx and sent us lots of updates. They were also super responsive. She seemed confortable with them by the time we picked her up. Thank you!”
“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog, followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly, and kept me updated the whole time. I received daily photos updates, and it was so comforting to see my pup playing and settling in perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone in the Avon Lake area”
“We were nervous for our first time having a dog sitter for our pup, but Christina was great! Very communicative and our little guy was well taken care of. I’d recommend her for sure.”
“Michael has been so wonderful with our Tiny Tim. Tiny loves going over to Michael’s house when we have something going on for the day. We will always use Michael as long as he still in the business.”
“Nora always loves her time with Derek and his dogs Rudy and Emma! We love that we can go out of town with the peace of mind that Derek will take care of Nora as if she’s his own! We will continue to book with Derek for all our future needs!”
“Ralph was amazing, he accommodated our girls and treated them as if they were his own. He ensured that they were the only clients he had during their stay to make sure they were comfortable. He sent so many photos and made sure that we knew that were well cared for during their first stay with him. There was no doubt. Our large breed is shy and after our first meet and greet, she warmed up to Ralph so easily and she does that with no one. He has a way with animals that makes them feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Ralph but I would like to be able to book him in the future 😉”

My cat and dog are best friends, they’re very good boys and always welcoming others. Fenced yard with 0.6 acer backyard, so the dog friend can run and play outside.

“Sharon was wonderful with my cat Liam. It so happened that our trip was met with a major winter storm, and Sharon went above and beyond to accommodate us in the midst of travel complications and bad weather. Liam had an easy time getting along with Sharon's own pets, and communication was great.”
“Always so wonderful! He and his family treat our dog like their own! Always treating him so special. He even participates in family events- ice cream treats, sports games. He couldn’t be more at ease leaving our dog with them. Highly recommend!”
“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”
“Dana was fantastic with our dog Dakota.Dakota is a little special dog who needs a lot of love and a lot of attention. She was abused before we got her and it just takes her a while in order to trust people by the third day. Dakota was very very comfortable when we went to pick her up. She was in attack mode and protecting Dana, which I take as a good sign because she only protects the people she loves. Dana was very accommodating to us. We had a problem with pick up, but she made it work I know when I go on our next trip we will be using Dana again because our dog Dakota loves her”
“Wendalyn and Keith were wonderful! They were very easy to communicate with sent us a lot of pictures of our sweet girl, and even took her to Petco for a present—too kind! We will absolutely book with them again!”
“Miranda watched my dog in her home for 10 days. She gave daily texts and pictures. I appreciated that I knew she was happy and got along with her two dogs well. Would definitely recommend her to watch our westie again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Avon Lake is $45

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! 🐾🫶🏼
I don’t get out of town much and I am lucky enough to be able to bring my two fur babies to work with me everyday. I feel so fortunate to have found Megan and her family. Megan works from home which meant less alone time for my dogs-which made their 9 days with her much easier. Megan sent me daily updates and pictures that absolutely put this nervous momma at ease. From our first meet and greet, I knew that Megan’s easy going attitude and ability to understand my dogs’ quirks made her the perfect fit. Both dogs loved her immediately and got the added bonus of the rest of her family that showed them both so much affection and extra playtime. Megan is absolutely my go to sitter from now on and if I could give her a ten star review I would!
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.
Cindy and Justin cared our dog in their home while we were away for the weekend. They were attentive to details and accommodating with our concerns. Our dog liked them right away. Cindy sent us pictures and updates which gave us peace of mind! We will use them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Avon Lake on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 632 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Avon Lake. 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.
96% of Avon Lake 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 Avon Lake 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 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.
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.
