“Dian did a great job with Andy for his first time with a sitter. He can be a challenge and she handled everything perfectly. She kept us informed while we were away with updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Dian!”

“Kelsey took great care of my 2 dogs this week! (1 pitbull &1 frenchie) it was 5 nights , they played with them and kept them fed and happy the whole time and updated me randomly and also responded quickly if I had any questions about my babies!! She does have children which has previously been an anxiety point for my pit bull.. the kids were so friendly and patient and he played well with them all weekend! Overall really happy with the turnout and that he was able to play with children in a controlled environment! Will definitely use her if we go out of town again!🩷”

“Suzanne watched our dog for about 4 days and he really enjoyed his time there and playing with her dogs and in the backyard. She sent us a picture everyday so we could see what he's up too. We'd definitely use her again when we're in the area again.”

“Katelyn & Andria were extremely attentive to detail and I would absolutely recommend them! We have never left our dog overnight with anyone other than family before and we would feel more than comfortable leaving him again. They sent plenty of detailed updates and pics and we could tell he was very happy & loved there.”

“Lexi was wonderful. She really seemed to enjoy my dog, a boxer. She sent me a lot of pics suggesting he was having a fine time at his sleep over. I immediately felt at ease with leaving him there. I’ll use her again if she is available. When we got him his stools were normal (they aren’t when he is stressed) and he hadn’t lost weight (does when he is stressed). He was fine.”

“We found Cynthia and Tim because their location was convenient for our activities around Ohio's Lake Erie islands, but we also found their home to be a great place for our pups to hang out. The pups got lake side walks in their safe and charming community. (We are considering making their Lakeside community a destination for ourselves.) We are grateful for Cynthia and Tim's flexibility in scheduling as well. We will definitely call them next time we're in the area!”

About: Our Goldendoodle pup Laska has helped fill the void of recent loss in our lives. She fills our heart with joy and is the talk and walk of the neighborhood! I help our friends with their 4 dogs when needed as well. Just like our friends I would prefer to board our sweet girl in a home atmosphere. I want to help those that prefer the same. I have dearly loved a Springer Spaniel, two black labs, German Short hair pointer and Shihtzu over the last 30 years. Let me know if you have any questions. I am a full time RN and work day shift Monday- Thursday. Home visits after 530pm during the work week and more open availability Friday-Sunday. If a home visit doesn't work for you, we do have a vinyl fence in our backyard. We can work together on deciding what is best for your pooch.

“Bridget was so easy to coordinate with and did a fantastic job taking care of Watson for a 3 night visit. Really great communication before and during the stay. Her dogs were super friendly and welcoming of Watson in their space right from the start which gave me good peace of mind while he was there. He literally didn’t want to leave when I picked him up so I think that says it all :) Thanks Bridget!”

About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. In college, I worked at a boarding and training service for dogs. I currently have three of my own, and love being a dog mom. I treat my dogs like they are my children, and I enjoy being around animals all the time! I am a teacher, so during the summer months I have a lot of availability. I am looking to help out those who are busy or work during the summer. I can drop in to let out your pet and play with them for 10-15 minutes. For walking services, I will spend 30 minutes walking, and then play for 10-15 minutes. I have a spacious home and yard, but it is not fenced in. I always go outside with the pets and supervise them. We live in a safe neighborhood. My dogs are friendly and well-socialized; they enjoy being around other animals.

“We could tell that Stella enjoyed her time with Betsy & Gordon and their children. We were very selective in our selected sitters leading up to our European vacation. This was our first out of the country vacation away from Stella. Betsy and Gordon provided us with great communication leading up to the booking, and great communication throughout. Easing my fur momma worries. We hope that Stella will visit again soon!”

About: I'm a young professional and homeowner with a six-year-old Cocker Spaniel and two cats (I just had to get my anxious boy his own cat). I've had animals my whole life and often find myself gravitating to animals over people. My animals are my family and in my care, yours will be too! I work a full-time job, but my home activities center around the animals. They're cared for morning and evening, and my weekend activities are centered around making sure the animals have adequate care and socialization. They're provided fresh water twice a day, food twice a day, and the dog always gets time outside of the house once I'm home, even in the cold.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Castalia

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Castalia on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 82 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Castalia. 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.

100% of Castalia 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 Castalia 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 Castalia 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 Castalia.

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 Castalia 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.
