“Amanda was great with our three Husky’s. They are all blowing their coats and she did a great job keeping up with the flying fur. Our dogs were so calm and relaxed when we got home, she did a great job of keeping me updated and I didn’t have to worry about whether or not they were well cared for during our vacation!”
“Paige did a great job! She updated us very frequently on the status of our pups, with plenty of adorable pictures! She not only took great care of our dogs, but she also left our house in the same condition as when we left. We barely could tell anyone had been there!”
“Tate did a wonderful job caring for our fur family during our vacation! She asked questions to ensure she understood how to care for our special gang. We especially appreciated the photos she sent us daily which helped to ease our concerns being away. She treated not only our animals but our home respectfully and we would have no reservations (and look forward to) using her in the future.”
“Matt was fantastic! Provided great updates, was available throughout the whole stay when I reached out, and took the best care of the pups. He respected my home and is an all around considerate sitter. I would use him again for sure!”
“Jeanine is amazing! This was the first time I was leaving my Pepper for a vacation. The amount of care and attention she gave her was above and beyond. She informed on how she was doing and sent pictures to put me at ease. She followed all my instructions I had left for her. My house looked just as I left it and was neat and tidy. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jeanine. She is a kind and compassionate pet sitter for your dog.”

“Cara is a highly reliable dog sitter, and did an amazing job with our 3 dogs while we were away for several days. We received daily cell updates and images, and when we came home, our house appeared even cleaner than when we left it! We give her our highest recommendation!!”
About: I am a Division 1 soccer player that manages time very well. With that, I am very active and responsible. I grew up with dogs my whole life and had to end up taking care of 2 of my senior dogs. They were a lot to take care of but, that didn’t matter to me as long as they were feeling loved. We have adopted 2 puppies within the past 3 years, so I do understand the commitment it takes to keep them in order. I have taught my puppies tricks, like sit, shake, spin and lay down! I do work part-time in the restaurant business so my shifts only last 4-5 hours max. I am very active, so I get my puppies walked usually 2-3 times a day. Whenever I am pet sitting, I make the pet my priority. I usually plan my schedule on what I have to do around the pet I am sitting. I provide safe, loving care tailored to each pet’s routine. In clients’ homes, I keep their routine consistent with feeding, walks/litter care, and lots of attention, plus regular updates for peace of mind.
“Bailey was fantastic. House was just as it was left and I’m very happy I used Rover to find her. I was much happier leaving him with her than putting in a dare care type place. Bailey was very kind and I could tell she cares for pets well.”
“Awesome sitter for our dogs first time home overnight without us and they did well all three days! She followed instructions and gave us updates as asked/needed. We would use her again.”
About: I have had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention! I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.
“Ashlee took on a two dog household for a week long stay as a dog and house sitter and did an amazing job. She was great at communicating before the stay and throughout the stay, and she could problem solve little things to not disturb me on my trip. Ashlee provided the dogs with exercise above what was asked, she cleaned up the house before she left (including the not so fun task of picking up poop from the yard!), and she kept my mind at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boardman
Jacquelyn was wonderful. Very caring and flexible. Our dogs loved her. They were very relaxed when we came home. The house was left perfectly even though we told her it wasn't necessary. She sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. I would highly recommend her.
Matt was fantastic staying in our home with our two dogs while we were away. One of our dogs can be a little particular, but she warmed up to him immediately—it was like she’d known him her whole life. Matt was reliable, communicative, and left our home exactly as we left it. He went above and beyond by checking our pool skimmer in the morning to make sure no frogs were trapped and giving our dog Charlie some extra attention before meals. Charlie has gotten used to getting a little love before he eats, and Matt happily sat with him and loved on him until he was ready. It’s clear Matt genuinely cares about animals and treats them like his own. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands and would absolutely book with him again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Boardman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boardman on Rover is $55.5 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 232 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boardman. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Boardman walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Boardman maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Boardman choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boardman. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
