“Lydia is absolutely amazing! Her home is clean, welcoming and was ready to board our dog overnight. We really appreciate her and our dog returned home happy! We will be using Lydia from now on.”
“Bill was great, we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with him for the week. He was able to give our dog his medication, took him on daily walks, and gave him lots of love and attention!”
“Nani loved her stay with Paige! Not only did she go right in and make herself at home, she enjoyed lots of rubs and cuddles the whole time! I can’t praise enough the great communication and flexibility when requesting additional time. Please know, your fur family will be well cared for in this home!”
“Ashlee was amazing with my 2 very high energy dogs. She sent me pictures and videos during their stay and was so accommodating and flexible! I will definitely be using her next time for my pups stay! I can’t thank you enough! ☺️”
“She really helped me out and she let me extend extra days on short notice and she just didn't absolute great job with Carhartt I am will definitely have her as my number one go to for babysitters”
“Lisa was amazing. I received daily updates with pictures, which calmed my nerves since Bailey never said with anyone but family. I will definitely use her again and will recommend her to anybody that needs a dog sitter”
“Kayla was wonderful, even with me as a last minute, first time rover booker. We are so grateful to have had her watch our precious Milo. She sent update pictures. Was super communicative. Clearly loved on him tons- as he was extra demanding and not appreciative of us working vs playing when we got home lol Will 100% use Kayla again!”
“Kyri did an excellent job looking after my dog, Milky. She was very attentive and responsible, and she consistently sent me pictures and videos so I could see how he was doing. It was clear he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend her and would trust her again with Milky for future boardings.”
“I have a 12 yo German Shepard. He's an old man now. We were going away for New Years and our normal sitter wasn't available. I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new. Karin was spectacular. She was attentive to his needs and careful about his 'age' related shortcomings. She has a pup of her own and a young son who loved my boy. Karin sent plenty of pics of him and was very communicative during his stay, asking questions to make sure behaviors were normal and making sure he'd tolerate the environment there! I don't know how many stays my old man has left in him, but Karin is definitely the person I'd want watching him when I leave!”
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Carmen’s home is a ‘family home’ to my fur baby! She never wants to leave Carmen’s home! Carmen is sweet & gentle to her, takes her on walks, watches her do her zoomies in the back yard, and showers her with love, always captured on photos & videos. I’ve been taking my fur baby to Carmen for almost 5 years now and will continue to do so! Highly recommend!”
“Well Sadie must have had a good time she was wore out I'm sure with playing with the children I know she loves little children and dogs everything went well is expected”
“Linda was great with my dogs. She sent pictures and videos and even let them stay an extra night after I realized I got my dates wrong. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Christine and her husband were very nice and took amazing care of olli!! They watched him over our wedding weekend and brought him on the day of to let him be in pictures!! we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! They sent pictures everyday and kept us updated.”
“KAREN IS AWESOME!!! I can’t rave how comfortable I felt leaving my babies with her and they obviously had a great time as my anxious and very shy dog tried to stay with her lol that told me everything I needed to know ! I will definitely book again and every-time we need a sitter !”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”
“Carly was so great with my pup! She was very welcoming to us and made me feel like Lady would be like a member of the family during her stay. She also texted me a photo that night, which was great because I was really missing my furbaby and reassured me that she was doing okay! Very flexible on pickup/dropoff as well. Will definitely work with Carly in the future!”
“Our pup, Sokka, absolutely loves Ryan which is helpful since our dog has anxiety around other dogs (so kennel boarding is a very stressful experience). We really appreciate that Ryan also takes Sokka on walks and dog park visits if he's able to do so. We highly recommend Ryan for boarding!”
“As always Amber and her husband are amazing. They were particular life savers for this vacation as they were able to work around my strange pick-up/drop-off times and were flexible when our flight got delayed.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
Bill & Cheryl are kind and thoughtful. Have joined the club of “friends of Louis”. It is wonderful to take a vacation and know that you need not worry about the care of your fur baby. Louis hardly noticed when we arrived to pick him up, which is always a sign of a peaceful time. I highly recommend Bill, as his love for dogs and care taking of Louis was exceptional.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 419 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Clayton. 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.
95% of Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton 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 Clayton.
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 Clayton 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.
