“Jenna was so awesome!! Very communicative and responsive with scheduling, sent lots of pics and updates throughout each day, had a beautiful and safe home for my dog to play and relax. He even came home with a new toy!! Absolutely would recommend.”
“Phyllis far exceeded my expectations! This was the first time we used the Rover.com app and we were hesitant about the whole thing. As soon as we dropped our dog off with Phyllis, we knew he was in great hands! She put our mind at ease by sending pics and videos of our dog while we were on our trip. We highly recommend Phyllis and would absolutely use her again.”
“So friendly, accommodating and helped to stay in touch with my little girl while I was away on work travel! Their dog and my baby became great friends! A loving home and made me feel ok while away from my puppy! ❤️?”
“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”
“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!”
“We never have to worry when Tommy is at his home away from home. I know that I can leave him and he will be loved as though he were with me. We always appreciate the pictures and little notes. This stay was unique in that I had to contact Kathy and request to extend Tommy's stay because of a family member's health. Kathy was so accommodating and without hesitation kept Tommy two extra days. Tommy is already looking forward to his next "vacation"! Five stars is not enough!!!”
“Sarah and Brendan scooped up our boy Arthur as one of their own and treated him to his own “staycation” — he loved that they had friends for him to play with, the love, the snuggles, and window perches. Thank you both for EVERYTHING you did to take care of my little guy.”
“She did a great job and my usually very shy and scared cat warmed up to Stephanie and her family fairly quickly! I have nothing but good things to say about her. Also, she was very flexible on the pick up time and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Highly recommend to use her for your animal sitting needs!”
“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!”
“Thank you Brittany for caring for our girl while we were on vacation.She was so relaxed and calm when we returned gave us piece of mind to see the picture of her relaxing with your family. "The Fleshman Family "”
“Dolly had a great weekend with Devon and her dog Penny! Devon and Penny made Dolly feel right at home and took great care of her. We’d happily recommend Devon and will definitely be using her again.”
“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 always have peace of mind when leaving my pups with Sarah. I cannot recommend her enough. My babies are always in good hands with her. Thanks so much Sarah!”
“Lana did a great job looking after my dogs for the long weekend! She sent photos and kept me up to date with how they were doing. One of my dogs needs medication twice a dog which was administered. There is a lot of space on her property for playing and my dogs had lots of fun!”
“I never have to worry about my dog when she is with Kimberly. She’s great about sending pictures and videos so that I can see how my dog is doing. My dog has never looked stressed in any of the pictures at Kimberly’s, and that is unusual for my tender hearted dog! I will continue using Kimberly as long as she’s available!!”
“Our 1.5 year old Golden has stated with Keeley 3 or 4 times and has always had a great time playing with her dogs. It puts us at ease while on vacation knowing that our dog is being looked after and having fun. Will continue to use Keeley for the foreseeable future”
“Jenn was fantastic. Nicest woman you’ll ever meet. Her love of animals shows from the first time you speak. She stays in constant communication, sending pictures with updates. If you want someone to love on your pets as much as you do pick Jennifer.”
“Lynn always goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for my 16 year old chihuahuas. She doesn’t just watch them, she loves and cares for them in a way that every pet lover dreams of when it comes to their animals. Along with daily pictures and messages, Lynn even gave us a framed picture of my two pups that I will forever cherish! Could not recommend enough- I even think my dogs were sad when I picked them up because their vacay at Lynn’s was over!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cleveland
Phyllis was a blessing he was so nice very communicative he kept me updated on my dog the whole time he had her she was comfortable with him and enjoyed her time with him any time I need a sitter he will be my first choice he was understanding when I was late getting back to get her from a funeral due to being in an accident
Obie loved her stay with Aspen! Especially hanging out with her new friend Clifford — the sweetest most gentle pup. Aspen sent photos and updates throughout the day which we so appreciated. We needed to extend Obie’s stay last minute and we were so grateful she was able to accommodate. Aspen was very easy to communicate with and we know she took the best care of her. Obie will definitely be back!
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!
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!
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 $41.07 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 798 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.
96% 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.
