Kimberely was the best sitter I have had. I could tell my dog thoroughly enjoyed her time. She stopped to say thank you to Kimberely. Kim creates a loving, safe and fun environment. She watches several dogs at a time which was the best mix for my dog. The dogs were having a dog party every day. I already have Kim booked for my dog's next stay. I know my dog misses Kim already!

Onyx had the best time with Taylor and Brian and their sweet dog Shiloh! He typically lives in an apartment so he was thrilled to have access to a fenced in yard. Taylor and Brian were very kind to accommodate a last-minute extra night’s stay after our travel plans home went awry. They were very sweet and understanding.

Our dog, Buddy, stayed with Jenny for 9 nights and was very well taken care of. He got regular walks and belly rubs. Jenny also kept us updated daily with pictures and details about their day. We could tell Buddy was happy when we picked him up. He was very calm and relaxed. We were extremely happy with her care and will definitely reach out to her again for care.

Alycia & Scott were awesome! Montey came back a very happy pup who appeared to have had his own little holiday! Montey can be quite nervous but Alycia made sure he (and I!) felt comfortable before leaving! We are so grateful for the regular updates and Alycia really took the time to read my (rather long!) bio on Montey before we arrived so she was fully clued up! Montey found a great friend in Stella too and we wouldn't hesitate to book with them again!

Sandy was a great sitter for Luna! Luna is an energetic pup and enjoyed having other dogs to play with. This was my first time leaving Luna with someone other than family so I was nervous at first. Sandy sent frequent updates and photos putting my mind at ease. She was also more than accommodating when we arrived back in town later than expected to pick Luna up. Sandy is a bit out of the way from my house but that won’t stop me from using her in the future!

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

Caleigh was great. Flexible with drop off and pick up. Sophia had a rough first day away but Caleigh worked through it and the rest was so much nicer for Sophia than a kennel. We appreciate Caleigh's flexibility. Highly recommended.

Susan was great! This was our first time using Rover and we weren’t sure exactly what to expect. She answered of our questions and let us do a meet and greet first with her and Dakota. She kept us updated the whole time we were gone with pictures ! She and our dog liked kickball in the yard. We weren’t sure exactly what time we would be back but she was able to be flexible and let us keep her posted as the day went on. We would definitely recommend Susan and stay with her again!

Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! You can immediately tell that Amir genuinely loves animals and truly cares about the pets he looks after. I left my Harlow with him for the weekend, and honestly, I think she had more fun with him than she does with me LOL! 😂 He has a great personality, provides amazing pet care, very good communication and pictures!! all at a very affordable price. I honestly can’t imagine choosing anyone else! Harlow is already excited to stay with Amir again soon. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Cincinnati

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Cincinnati on Rover is $33.3 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 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 819 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.
