Lauren and Wynn were awesome with our 4 year old boxer! It sounds like he had a great time they sent a few pics of him playing. We would love to use them in the future! Thanks so much for watching Buck!

We were really happy with the care Kodiak received during her stay. We loved the picture updates and hearing what she was up to while we were gone. Kodi came home much more relaxed than she ever has after staying at the kennel. Thanks for taking care of our girl! We will definitely look to book again for future care.

About: You can count on me to treat your pet like another member of my family. Growing up on a farm exposed me to animals of all sizes from an early age and gave me a deep love for them. We always had dogs and cats, plus other animals. Because of this, I am comfortable administering medications to your pets and ensuring they get the love and attention you are looking for. I've had my rescue Pit, Rusty, for the past 5 years, and I love being a dog dad. I am a bit of a runner, so I am happy to take on high-energy dogs, whether that is for a longer walk or a good run. I am looking forward to helping you with your pet's needs and working toward being their new best friend! I currently work remotely as a freelancer and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule both during the day and evenings. I can host most weekends and live down from Eden Park. I'll do my best to work around your pet's needs and routine to meet you where you are! I believe in following what works best for your pet and reinforcing any behaviors/training you are currently working on with them. I also believe every pet should be loved and spoiled just like any family member. My day job is communications and marketing, so you can expect regular and consistent updates from me.

Kelti and Tanner took the best care of our Zelda girl! They endured her excessive cuddling and made sure to send fun pics for updates while we were gone. We will definitely bring Zelda back to visit again next time we have to be away from home!

We could not be more pleased with Lauren and the care she provided for our pup this weekend! Her communication was excellent, sending daily pictures and correspondence to put our minds at ease that Mabel was in the best hands! She has a beautiful home and great outdoor fenced-in and covered areas for the pups to play. Mabel was happy and tired when we picked her up - win win! We would definitely send our pup to Lauren again as well as recommend her care to others! Thanks Lauren!

About: **Will wear a mask and sanitize before entering your home if requested.** I have been obsessed with dogs forever, and had a golden retriever for 15 years before she sadly past away in January 2019. I would like a dog of my own but I am not in the financial situation I would want to be in to be able to give my dog the life it deserves so I would relish at the opportunity to help care for yours! I have about 14 months experience working at a Doggy Daycare Center in Columbus that I sadly had to leave to pursue a Master's Degree in England. More recently I was an English teacher in Spain but I sadly had to return to America in March due to the global pandemic. I am more than comfortable watching 100+ dogs with 3-5 other employees and up to 30 dogs on my own. Naturally a home will not have that many dogs so there is nothing I cannot handle. I have experience administering pills via numerous mediums, shots of insulin, bathing, toe nail clipping/using a dremmel, separating dog fights, and the not-so-glamorous bits such as cleaning up every type of bodily fluid a dog can produce. My experience with special needs dogs ranges from a completely deaf Staffordshire Bull Terrier to senior diabetic miniature poodle that needed twice daily injections of insulin. I am in no way biased against any breed of dog and believe that all dogs are good dogs. I have experience with dogs varying from 2lbs. to well over 100lbs. My boyfriend and I are also the parents of two boy ferrets so I have experience with ferrets and feeding franken-raw for obligate carnivorous animals. :) Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and I hope I get to see you and your dog(s) soon!

Gabrielle was wonderful to work with and despite this being the first time we used her, we felt comfortable with her right away. She clearly has experience and is loving and caring. I knew Max was in excellent hands. Max had a great time and made a new friend in Jetson. Gabrielle was great about sending pictures throughout our vacation and little updates. I now have a new back up sitter for Max.

This was our very first time having to board our puppy plus it was the first time using Rover so we were pretty uneasy at first. I can't say enough positive things about the entire process and about Sandy. She first had us meet her and her doggies to make sure it was a good match. It was obvious she was an animal lover and would take great care of our Bella while we were thousands of miles away. Every day she sent photos and texts updating us on Bella's stay which helped set our minds at ease. Bella obviously received a lot of play in the backyard with William and George and received a lot of cuddles and kisses from Sandy. We will definitely be utilizing her in the future!!!

Alycia is absolutely wonderful with my dog, Archie! 🐶 She is dependable, caring, and treats him like her own. I never have to worry when Archie is with her—he’s always happy, well cared for, and loved. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Alycia is there for him. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!

FAQs for Boarding - Cincinnati

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Cincinnati on Rover is $33.3 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 825 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cincinnati. About 93% of Cincinnati sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

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.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
