“Kristy was amazing! She gave constant updates and sent bunches of photos! She was also amazing in calming my fears of leaving Zig for a long weekend. Zig obviously had a great time and came home an excited, but exhausted, pup.”
“A wonderful loving environment, where I could leave my furry friend and know she was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Karly and her family.. our teenage children adored my dog and even allowed her to sleep with them, just like she does at home.”
“I could tell my pup was well taken care during her time with Donald & Affton. If possible they will be the ones I’ll have her start with every time I need Rover!”
“Cassie and Ben take such good care of our dog. It's obvious he is well cared for, given lots of attention and love. We highly recommend them.”
“Another great stay with Billie. My two dogs jump out of the car and run up her walkway. They obviously enjoy staying with her and her doggie. I feel very comfortable when they are in her care.”
“Daisy had a great time staying with Brittany, Max and their family. It’s obvious they love dogs and know how to welcome new pets to their home. Loved getting pics everyday too. Much thanks!”
“Alyssa is the absolute best! She was very communicative, kind, and treated our dog like one of her own. She made sure he was comfortable and well adjusted while we were gone. I especially loved all the pictures and notes she sent of how our dog was doing throughout his stay. We would absolutely book with Alyssa again!!”
“Jessica is GREAT! We unexpectedly had to extend our time away from our pup due to cancelled flights, and she was so kind to continue to care for our girl for longer than initially planned. I know this cannot always be done, but I certainly appreciate her willingness to work with us & take great care of our pup while we were working to get home. Cannot recommend her enough 🙏🏼”
“Thank you so much, Bridget, for taking such wonderful care of our Lola. After reading multiple 5 STAR reviews, I just knew she would be in good hands. We appreciate the daily updates and pictures. You’ve certainly kept my mind at ease and We and Lola are looking forward to the next time she stays with you. You are the best and I will highly recommend you to everyone I know!”
“Gina is an amazing host! She communicated very well and it was clear that she was loving on our pup while we were away. I couldn’t ask for anything else Highly recommended.”
“I was very happy with our new connection with our Rover sitter. We recently moved to the area and Susan made a very good connection with us and our fur baby - making him comfortable in a new environment.”
“Bailey & family took great care of our Hokie boy. They were quick to respond and sent us photos and updates. Hokie got along great with their 3 dogs. They are a sweet family! Will definitely use them again!”
About: We have a small Shih Tzu, a German Shepherd, and a cat at home, so animals are truly a big part of our family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and needs, including pets who require extra attention, medication, special routines, or additional care. I understand how important it is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to structure my day around whatever needs my attention. I can do mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My pets are family to me, so I understand how important it is to know they’re in loving, attentive hands. I would give your pets that same level of care and attention.
“Susan and her crew took great care of Millie, her communication was timely both before, during, and after Millie’s stay, which was appreciated. Millie had a fun time and looks forward to staying with Susan again!”
“Elaine did a wonderful job taking care of my dog. My little dog is a rescue… she is very timid and has abandonment issues, so I was hoping to find the perfect dog sitter for her while we went out of town for a holiday. I adjusted the filters on Rover.com to display only sitters without kids and without other pets at home. Elaine was 1 of 11 and when I read her bio, I knew she’d be a great match! Thankfully, she agreed to dog sit for us and it worked out exceptionally well. I never once doubted the quality care she was receiving while we were away. Elaine was always quick to respond to texts and sent pics and daily updates. Elaine is now my number 1 choice for dog sitting services. Thank you so much, Elaine!”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cleveland is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $54 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 972 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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 MO 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.
