“Angela was super sweet and I loved the photos of my cat while we were gone! My cat hasn’t ever stayed with a stranger for that long without us and he was a little mischievous with some hiding spots but Angela handled it very well by giving him his time to come around to her. Highly recommend!! :)”
“Harley was a happy guy when we picked him up. He's been napping since we brought him home, so that tells me he had a great time with Floyd, Connie, and the other pups while he was there. Floyd sent numerous pictures each day, and always messaged me to let me know how Harley was doing and what he was up to. I 100% recommend Floyd and Connie to keep your furbabys. I wouldn't choose anyone else!”
“Dana took great care of my 2 pups and gave me a good report of how it went. All their stuff was packed and ready to go when I arrived to pick them up. I will definitely book with Dana again on a future trip in FL.”
“Kelsey was a great pet sitter. She sent pictures, videos, and updates a couple times daily which helped ease my worries about my 2 chocolate labs. She has a huge fenced in yard which allowed my dogs to get plenty of outdoor time. I would definitely use Kelsey again. Thanks for everything!!”

“We were so happy leaving our dogs with Arleen and Daniel. We are planning a trip in October and we wanted to try an overnight for our kids first, to see how they would do. They kept us updated with pictures, made us feel totally at ease, and even though one of our little babies had some separation anxiety, they didn’t seem bothered by it at all. They understood it was their first time away from us since we had them. We are looking forward to using them in the future. They were the perfect match for our crazy teenagers.”
“I had a lot of anxiety about leaving my naughty and anxious Malinois but Svetlana was exceptional. She kept him safe and calm. We would use her again without hesitation.”
“Thank you Thomas and Lyndsay for taking care of our girl for three weeks! Loved the pictures that were sent every couple of days. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that she was safe and being well cared for. Thank you for your services. Looking forward to future visits.”
“Excellent care given by Kimberly and James! They took the best care of my Shih Tzu while we were away and even hand fed her when she wouldn’t eat. I will definitely book with them again and would recommend them to anyone!”
“Bob was exceptional..He kept me informed on how my Billy Biscuit was doing and sent pictures..His dogs were very accepting of my boy..we will definitely use his services again”
“Linda and her family are the absolute best! Our dogs love them and we know they are loved and cared for when we have to travel. Linda always goes above and beyond to provide the very best care and we are very thankful. Our dogs are seniors with some health issues/medications, but Linda is great with that and has completely earned our dogs' trust. We have complete confidence in Linda and know our babies are in the best of hands when we are away. We highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Elaine was great! Her place and clean and comfy perfect for the pups! She sent great photos and updates daily. Our pups loved playing with her daughter as well! Would definitely book again!”
“Vetra was amazing with my girls and I highly recommend her! I have already rebooked for a second stay. Vetra kept my girls on their routine and sent me pictures and messages to let me know they were doing well. I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that they were being well loved and cared for while I was gone.”

Shawna is absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She is caring, attentive, reliable, and treated my pups like her own. My dogs love being around her boys and her two dogs as well and gets lots of play time and attention. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in such good hands, and I really appreciated the updates and communication while I was away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would definitely recommend Shawna and will happily book with her again!
As always, Shawna takes such wonderful care of my Mr. Monty! He always gets excited when he goes over Shawna’s house. Despite being a Dalmatian, she always manages to poop him out (which is a feat in itself). You can tell she cares for animals as if they’re her own. Thank you again, as always, for your close care of Monty!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cleveland is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $47 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.
As of November 2026, there are 675 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cleveland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Cleveland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cleveland 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 Cleveland.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cleveland. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Cleveland 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 FL 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
