“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!”
“First time using Rover & leaving our precious pup with someone else. We are so glad we found Carey! She helped us feel at ease and sent lots of updates & pictures! Her dog is very sweet & the 2 of them got along without issues. He was well cared for & loved. He also got a lot of exercise! So much better than being locked up in a kennel! We hope she can watch him many more times in the future!”
“Michelle was a fantastic host for our dog. Our pup is an 80lb, 1.5yr old lab, with tons of energy, and Michelle handled her so well. Our dog had such a great time, got to play with other dogs, and got so much attention during her 10 day stay. Michelle also sent daily updates with photos and videos of our pup. We could not be any more pleased with Michelle’s services. She also offers day care services which we used prior to our stay to see if our dog was a good fit, and she was! Will DEFINITELY use her again!”
“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.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my Bernedoodle, Sydney, received while staying with David and his family during our week-long vacation. From our initial meeting, it was clear that David genuinely loves dogs and takes his responsibility as a pet sitter seriously. He carefully ensures that the dogs in his care are a good match in temperament, creating a comfortable and safe environment for everyone. Throughout Sydney’s stay, David kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Knowing Sydney was happy, comfortable, and well cared for made it easy to relax and enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend David and would happily book with him again in the future.”
“Wendy and Keith were incredibly kind, generous, and caring, treating our dogs as if they were their own. Their communication was outstanding, and we truly appreciated the frequent updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear how much love and attention they gave our pets, and we are so grateful for the care they provided. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for their furry family members!”
“I couldn't be happier that I chose Derek to keep my old dachshund during our vacation, he provided a wonderful comfortable home for my Bentley and kept me updated every day with pictures. It really brought me a lot of comfort knowing that my B was comfortable and so well cared for. I will always be grateful.”
“I can’t recommend Sarah and Brendan enough!! They were so sweet, responsive and took great care of our girl! We loved all the updates and pictures they provided. We will definitely be using them again ??”
“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”
“Hailey and Potato were wonderful hosts to our dogs, Marley and Luna. Luna is a bit shy and Luna was able to open uo and play with Potato. Hailey sent just enough photos and updates throughout the visit and was very accommodating with the scheduling. The girls came back extremely happy and had a wonderful time with their stay with Hailey. Her yard is perfect and she is very efficient with drop off and pickups. I would definitely have our girls stay with Hailey again!”
About: Dogs have always been a significant part of my life. I've gone through agility class, traveled around with them, and performed medical care as needed I retired about a year ago from the healthcare field. I am frequently available to care for dogs and cats in many situations and time frames I live in a complex with a doggie walk and a fenced in area. I can care for your pet at your home as well, and can walk and exercise them.
“I had the pleasure of working with Sharon, and I couldn't be more impressed with her kindness, efficiency, and genuine love for animals. She took excellent care of my dog for the day, ensuring he was happy, comfortable, and well-attended to. What truly stood out to me was her attentiveness and calm demeanor, which made the entire experience stress-free. She is clearly experienced, as evidenced by how well she handles her own dogs—a Yorkie and a Shepherd—both of whom are incredibly well-behaved and sweet. If you're looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter, Sharon is absolutely the person to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of quality care for their furry friends!”
About: I have a miniature schnauzer who I trained and raised from a puppy. I’m looking to gain more experience with all kinds of dogs. I am very interested in fostering later in life and I am missing my pup while I’m away at school. I know life can be hectic so I am excited to help anyone out a little and meet some new pets in my free time! I am in school to earn my associates. This fall I have most of my classes at night. My only busy day is Saturday, where I have a class from 10a-2p, so for the most part, I am available and looking to fill that time with some furry friends! Please feel free to reach out!! I know every pet is different and needs different things. I am very flexible and happy to cater to different situations as they come. I enjoy walking and exercising so I am happy to do long and short walks, parks and more. I have an anxious dog myself so I understand some pets need a little space when meeting new people and new environments. I’m looking to give your pets the best experiences possible and listen to any instructions you may have for them.
“Our travel plans changed last minute and Marcie was amazing about it! She kept our dog an extra day no problems! Sent me pics everyday like our dog was part of the family! Amazing!”
“Kyra was fantastic taking care of my mom's dog when she was in the hospital unexpectedly. He is a rescue and very skittish, but Kyra made him feel comfortable and right at home. She also sent photos and updates every day. Highly recommend Kyra for your furry family members!”
“I have used Lynn multiple times and she is absolutely excellent. Reliable, caring, and completely trustworthy. I have total peace of mind when my dog is with her. Also great communication. Lynn is the best and I highly recommend her.”
“Stephanie was awesome. My dogs were in good hands and were well taken care of. I was sent pictures and videos of my dogs and they looked very happy. Would highly recommend.”
“Ron sent us regular updates of Henri with pictures! He made sure that Henri was cared for and had the best time. Henri got tons of attention, play time, and treats! He loved the fenced in yard to run around in with the other dogs!”

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.
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Avon Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Avon Lake is $44 per night as of October 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 605 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 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, 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 , 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 .
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.
