“Great Communication with Megan & David for my 1st time leaving Jackson with a new Rover sitter. I was even welcomed to do a meet and greet that went well. It left me very comfortable leaving Jackson for 5 nights. I received pictures and updates on how he was adjusting. I have already set up some more stays for some trips I have planned. I highly recommend Megan & David for the care of your dog.”
“Teah and Eric have become my “go to” sitters for my dog, Wilbur. They take such great care of him - as if he were their own. I honestly can’t say enough great things about them! So happy to have found people who I can leave him with without any worries!”
“Leann was amazing with our dog! I was terrified to leave him and she made me feel so much better about the situation. We were going for a week on vacation and I got many updates and videos. I was honestly scared he wouldn't want to come home lol. That's how amazing she was. I recommend her to everyone. I couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter”
“Maddie was so great! I needed someone last minute and she was quick to respond and so nice. This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I got regular pictures and updates, and though I was worried my dog would be anxious it was clear she was having a great time. I’ll definitely be booking with Maddie again!”
“Lisa was great, very professional. You can tell straight from drop off that she knows what she’s doing and how to care for dogs. She sent me several pictures throughout the stay and communicated very well she’s very in tune with my dog Hank.”
“Nikki sent updates and pictures each day! Our pup typically takes awhile to settle into new places but Pepper felt comfortable and quickly adjusted to her normal routine! Would definitely recommend Nikki!!”
“Once again we only use Michael and Anne! They are now considered Paisley’s second parents. She had to take a few meds and they gave them to her when needed. She loves her 2.5 mile morning walks and we love the pictures we get from them! We always use them. She loves them so much!”
“Really took incredible care of my buddy and kept me updated every day with texts and photos. Will be first call next time I head out of town and cannot bring him.”
“Dana and Jason were wonderful with our dog, treating him like family. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention he received and will continue to use them when we go out of town. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“Our little guy seemed happy at Stephanie's house! The family was very nice, and their house is tucked in a cul-de-sac away from busy roads. We got updates and/or pictures most days, and Stephanie was always timely in her responses to any messages I sent her. We plan to use her again!”
“Flexible with scheduling and responsive, both are dogs were well taken care of and weren't anxious when we picked them up or the next day (meaning they felt comfortable there). Definitely would recommend”
“This was the first time leaving my dog with someone who wasn't family while I was out of town. I found Rover while searching for dog boarding places around Cincinnati and decided to give it a try. I am so impressed with the service itself, and even more so with Christy. She and her dog were friendly and welcoming when we arrived for our meet and greet, and I immediately felt great about leaving my dog in her care. She sent me pictures of my dog almost every day that I was gone. My dog came home happy and exhausted! I would absolutely use Christy again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Jessica asked excellent care questions and sent us great photos of our dog. She went above and beyond too, carrying our blind dog up and down several flights of stairs several times a day for each bathroom break!!”
“Sarah was great and my little girl doggy enjoyed playing with her little pups- also , I loved getting a video and a picture as well . I would definitely use her service again and recommend her as well.”
“I was super nervous to leave my dog when going on vacation with my family as she was spayed a few days before and I wasn’t sure how she would be. Katie and her family loved BiBi like their own and my mind was at ease after the first day she sent me pictures and gave me an update. BiBi seemed to really enjoy her time with Katie and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous to leave their dog.”
“Abbey was wonderful with our cockapoo Maggie! She was very friendly, responsive, and took good care of our dog. Maggie was very happy and we would recommend Abbey and use her for future trips! Thank you!!”
“I am always at ease when I leave my dog with Shannon. She gives me updates on the visits and sends pictures. My pup is very fond of her and gives her kisses when she sees her.”
“Our puppy Onyx had the best time with Meghan and her sweet family! Onyx lived having a fellow Chihuahua to play with throughout his stay. Meghan provided updates daily and sent photos which was so appreciated. Meghan also made sure Onyx took his medication twice a day. We are so grateful for all the love and snuggles that Meghan and her family gave to Onyx. Thank you!!”

Our pups just stayed with Tasha and Joe for the first time and we couldn't be happier. We have a six-month old puppy who had never been boarded and an 11-year old senior dog so we were a bit nervous but we were able to meet Joe and two of their dogs at a park for a meet and greet before their stay, which was put us at ease right away. They kept us updated with photos and messages during the stay, and the pups came home happy (and tired!). We'll definitely book with Tasha and Joe again.
Caleigh was so awesome with watching my pup Moon. She came recommended to me through a coworker and I’m so glad! I got thorough updates with lots of pictures daily. Moon seemed to have a blast and Caleigh treated her with the respect and care as if Moon was Caleigh’s pet. I can’t recommend her enough!
My sweet poodle, Winnie, absolutely adored Susan! While I was away, Susan provided me and almost daily photo of Winnie and her activities! She followed all of the dietary instructions and made sure she was cared for in every way. I will definitely be seeking Susan out again.
Gio has been a fantastic match for our elderly dog. Gio is reliable, responsible, and communicative. He is our regular daily dog walker, and recently also boarded our dog for the week while we were out of town. We had no concerns and we trusted our dog would be safe and cared for while we were away. He did a fantastic job.
Elisheba took great care of my two dogs! Usually my pups are timid when they first arrive at a new place, but as soon as we got to her house they were excited and started running around. Elisheba sent photo updates and was very communicative and responsive throughout the process.
I can’t say enough great things about Christy! She watched Reggie while my husband and I were out of town, and she kept us updated throughout the week with plenty of photos and messages. We could tell Reggie was in great hands and got lots of walks, playtime, and time to relax and feel at home. We would absolutely recommend her!
Jenny was an amazing sitter with lots of love and patience! My dog Max had a bit of anxiety being in a new place (on top of his high energy). Jenny was very communicative and willing to go the extra mile to help him cope. Max ended up having a great time. I highly recommend her!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Cincinnati is $35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 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.
There are 833 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cincinnati. About 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
