“This was my first time ever leaving my baby Kali with a sitter. Polina was very caring and she kept me posted on how he was doing with her. I will use her again in September. Thank you Polina!!!”
“Maytte and her mother were such a great fit for my Dupong. My dog was treated like family and I received frequent updates. I will definitely work with Mayette again 😊”
“Christine and Matthew took such great care of Shiba. They treated her like part of their family and made sure she felt comfortable and loved the entire stay. I got regular updates and photos, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Shiba came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Christine and Matthew again and recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Becky and her sweet family. This was my first time using Rover, I was very nervous but right off the bat Becky made me feel super comfortable about everything. I left my Emma with them for almost an entire week and it seemed like she had a blast. Becky sent updates and pictures throughout the week and my girl got all the love and snuggles that we would have given her at home! They definitely treated her like their own ◡̈ I could go on and on but bottom line would ABSOLUTELY recommend booking with Becky, we definitely will be!”
“Lindsey was amazing with my dog, Teddy! He had such a great time on her farm — it truly felt like a little vacation for him. She took wonderful care of him and kept me updated with fantastic photos and detailed messages about how he was doing. I really appreciated the communication and felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would happily recommend Lindsey to anyone and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Margaret was Sooo amazing! Last minute bookingand a new to being boarded kitty. It was great I got to learn how my kitty would respond in such a healthy environment.”
“We are very pleased that our dog was in caring hands. We regularly received photos and updates about her well-being. This was our first experience being apart from our pet, and we understand that it was unusual for her and possibly accompanied by some difficulties. But the team managed everything and showed great care. At the end of her stay, our dog even received some lovely gifts. We are very grateful for this and will definitely turn here again next time. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Sam is an incredible sitter! She was welcoming during the meet and greet in her back yard and allotted ample time for Carmella to become familiar with the outdoor space and one of her dogs. Carmella was set up with her own cozy room but preferred to be more social. Sam also created a photo album where she uploaded videos and pictures daily so I could see how Carmella was getting along. Sam knew Carmella had a recent birthday and let her pick out a new toy, which is so kind and thoughtful. She creates an environment where dogs can relax independently or with other dogs/people as the dog chooses. She caters to the dogs in a way that would make any human jealous in the best way. I'm definitely happy to have found Sam and will absolutely be reaching out to her for future stays.”
“We boarded our new addition Chubbs with Dan and Teresa for 5 nights while we were out of state on vacation. I received at least one daily update with photos every day Chubbs was there. It was definitely some peace of mind knowing he was taken care of so well. I had brought Chubbs to meet Dan and Teresa the week before for introductions as and a quick tour of the boarding house. Right away Chubbs seemed at home and didn’t look like he would have any problem returning. I would recommend this kennel 100% and will definitely be sending Chubbs back to board again when needed.”
“Our dog, Moose, had a good stay with Irina over a weekend. She was very accommodating and friendly and made it easy for us to pick him up and drop off. Much appreciated! We plan on having Moose stay with Irina again. Very Highly Recommended!”
“Molly and Nik took excellent care of my dog! They sent daily photos of their adventures together and it brought me so much joy to see Dodger having a great time with Molly’s two dogs. I will absolutely book them again when we are out of town. Dodger had such a great time! Thank you again!”
“Kara was a kind and energetic person who bonded with our dog immediately. Mac was a happy dog who was not in a hurry to leave Kara’s care when we picked him up at the end of his stay. We will have a safe and healthy place to care for our dog in the future. Thank you,Kara.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them! I have a 4-year-old dog of my own who is friendly, playful, and gets along great with other dogs. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different personalities and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. When your pup is in my care, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll do my best to give you peace of mind with regular updates and lots of love for your furry friend! 🐶❤️ I’m available most weekends and have more flexibility to spend time with your pup. Monday through Friday, I work from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Before work, I always make sure my own dog gets outside for some morning exercise and attention. When I get home, we spend time playing and relaxing together in our fenced-in yard. Your pup will be welcomed into our routine and given plenty of love, attention, and playtime! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise, and I’ll always supervise outdoor time. I have a friendly 4-year-old dog who gets along great with other dogs and can provide a companion for your pup. I’ll make sure every dog in my care feels comfortable, secure, and treated like part of the family. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special instructions.
“Brent took excellent care of my dog for two weeks. I love that he updated us on everything happening with my dog while we were away. He is someone you can trust with your pets. I'd book him again in future travels.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cleveland is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $50 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.

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.
97% 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, 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.
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 , 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 .
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 NY 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.
