“I was a bit nervous the first time I left my dog with Clifford, but the experience was perfect. Clifford was thoughtful and attentive. I had a great vacation while getting periodic updates (photos and videos) that eased my anxiety. Planning on a second engagement in two weeks.”
“Stacie and Doug were so great with Kiki! She had an amazing time playing and cuddling with their yorkie Jane. Stacie also sent lots of pictures and gave many updates. I felt super at ease and I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Thank you Kathy" we really appreciate the care and attention you gave to Patch. I WILL DEFINITELY BE CALLING YOU AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. I love the way you are with him and can't thank you enough for being the perfect dogsitter..”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“I can’t recommend Sarah and Brendan enough!! They were so sweet, responsive and took great care of our girl! We loved all the updates and pictures they provided. We will definitely be using them again ??”
“Sarah did an amazing job with our Australian puppy! This was the first time we were leaving him so we were a bit nervous. Sarah was very communicative and sent us regular updates. Our pup felt very comfortable with her and was well taken care of!! He got plenty of play, attention and exercise. We will definitely be looking to book with Sarah again in the future!”
“Chelsea was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly communicative throughout Bailey's stay, sending photos and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very accommodating with our schedule and allowed us a late check-in and check-out, which we greatly appreciated. Chelsea and her husband are genuinely kind, welcoming people, and it was clear from the start that Bailey was in great hands. Knowing she was so well cared for made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our trip. We couldn't recommend Chelsea more highly and would absolutely trust her with Bailey again in the future! :) thanks again!”
“Malik is so kind. A last minute booking! Highly recommend. Our wrestling tournament went WAY longer than expected. Malik was super understanding about this. Great communication, sent pictures, made it easy to not worry about our fur baby....which is priceless.”
“Marla took good care of Willow. She’s a good communicator and I received plenty of updates. My dog doesn’t like other animals and she was able to make sure she had her own space. Thanks Marla!”
“Karin was great, Our Dog feels right at home, appreciated all her daily updates and photos, I just know our dog is in good hands when we leave her there. This was our third booking with her and Highly Recommend her.”
“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”
“Carla and her family are incredible! I was in Cleveland for work and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter She was super helpful and understanding. She took my dog for walks every day, even though she barks at every cat or dog she sees when she’s on walks She sent me videos and updates without me having to even ask. I’ve never had a dog sitter before so I was kind of nervous about texting everyday because I didn’t want to be annoying, she willingly sent me updates and even offered to allow me to come visit when I miss her. I definitely recommend! Five stars”
“I was extremely nervous about leaving my anxious dog for the first time when I had to go away for five days for my brother's wedding. But it turned out that I had absolutelynothing to worry about because Rachel was seriously so amazing. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time I was away, which immediately put me at ease. And she handled Bailey with so much patience and care that he quickly became comfortable with her. She made a real effort to keep him engaged and active, and it was clear she took the time to get to know his personality and adjust to what he needed in the moment. I especially appreciated that she didn’t just “watch” him—she incorporated him into her daily routine, keeping him busy and comforted. I came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I sort of got the feeling he didn't want to leave! I would recommend Rachel to everyone. :)”
“Stephanie was awesome. My dogs were in good hands and were well taken care of. I was sent pictures and videos of my dogs and they looked very happy. Would highly recommend.”
“Devon was fantastic. Very attentive and loving and made Hazel feel right at home. She sent pics and Hazel seemed very relaxed. I would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi! I’m Erica. I work from home, so your pet won’t be sitting alone all day while you’re away. Whether they need walks, playtime, couch time, or just someone around, I’ll be there to keep them company. I’m reliable, easygoing, and a big animal lover. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, and I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable leaving them with. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, stick to their routine, and send plenty of photos and updates along the way. I know leaving a pet can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident they’re in good hands. I work from home full time, so my schedule is pretty pet friendly. Whether your pet is staying with me, needs a drop in visit, a walk, or overnight care, I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually work around their normal routine. Since I’m home most of the time, pets staying with me get plenty of attention, company, and potty breaks instead of being left alone all day. My evenings and weekends are also wide open, which gives me even more time to spend with them. I take pet care seriously and know that trust is a huge part of leaving your pet with someone new. I always follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walk preferences, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets staying with me throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I pay attention to the little things, like changes in appetite, energy levels, or behavior, and I’ll always reach out if something seems off. I want pets to feel safe, relaxed, and at home while they’re with me. Whether they need extra exercise, extra patience, or just someone nearby while they nap, I’ll do my best to make sure they’re comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being well cared for.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cleveland
Jessica was wonderful watching our dog Alfie! We met prior to make sure she and her dog would be comfortable with him. She’s very flexible and accommodating with timing and was so great with sending updates and pictures while we were gone. I would highly recommend her, she’s very caring and responsible! :)
I had a wonderful experience with this sitter! She took great care of Morty and Archie while I was away and made sure all of their needs were met. She kept me updated throughout their stay with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Both dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
This was my first time using Rover or even boarding my dog with someone who wasn’t a family member. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous about it and when I dropped my dog off, she was so worried and upset. But Hannah was a pro. She never made me feel like I was asking about my dog too much and alleviated any worries I had, always with a calm and understanding demeanor. Sent plenty of pics and updates and it wasn’t long before my dog warmed up to her. Thanks again Hannah!
Devon was awesome! She took great care of my GSP while my husband and I were away. He is a special needs dog and she unfortunately had to experience two episodes while we were gone. She handled it amazingly and kept us updated. Our dog requires medication and Devon was on top of it. Know your dog will be in great hands with Devon! Would highly recommend. She was very accommodating and took great care of our guy.
We are so grateful for Karlee’s help! Karlee was easy to communicate with, so joyful, super punctual, and very loving to our dog. Our family loved getting updates and photos of our dog having adventures while Karlee boarded our dog for the day. We highly recommend and look forward to booking with Karlee in the future!
We had a wonderful experience with Mary! I had to find a Petsitter last minute during a family emergency. Mary made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and my little Andy looked happy and well cared for the entire time. Drop-off and pickup were super smooth, and her central location near downtown was really convenient. I would absolutely book with her again—A++ experience!
Olivia was an amazing Rover sitter! She and her partner took such great care of Charlie. He was so happy when we picked him up, which says everything. They were also very flexible when our pickup time changed, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future! Thanks again for everything!
100% recommend! Jenna took such great care of my dog, Bee! I’m not from the Cleveland area but I’ll definitely be a repeat when I need Bee boarded again when I’m in the area. Thank you so much for putting my anxious dog at ease and taking such great care of her!
Shirley is truly amazing. She’s attentive, patient, and treats my dogs as if they were her own. I never have to worry because I know they’re safe, happy, and surrounded by kindness. The care, consistency, and heart she puts into what she does is truly incredible. From the moment I met her, it was clear she has a genuine love for animals, and my little crew feels it every single time they’re with her. Bianca and Dolce absolutely adore Shirley. Knowing my dogs are so deeply loved and cared for when I’m away brings me complete peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cleveland on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 815 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cleveland. 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 Cleveland 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 Cleveland 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 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.
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 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.
