“Our pups are always so happy every time we drop them off and clearly have a great time. And Jaime has always been so accommodating when our schedule changes. While we always miss them while we are gone, we always feel good knowing that are taken such good care of.”
“Emily took such good care of our fur baby. We could see how happy he was in the daily photos she sent us. Great communication before and during our trip. When we had a last minute change in travel plans, Emily was very gracious and accommodating. We will definitely be asking her to care for Bear again.”
“DeRee and her husband and are very experienced, capable and loving dog keepers. My pups had plenty of love, attention, and exercise. Their home and property are set up well for dogs. Her own dogs are very friendly and welcomed mine into their pack. I will be using her again soon.”
“Carrie is absolutely wonderful. She sent tons of pictures and videos and treated my Buster as her own. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come back! We’ll definitely be using Carrie as our go-to sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking. Thanks for everything, Carrie!”
“Kayley and her family are amazing! My boy had such a nice time there and I felt totally comfortable leaving him for a few days knowing he was in good hands. She sent multiple photos over his stay and was in great communication through the whole process! Will definitely be sending him back for another fun stay in the future.”
About: Surrounding myself around pets has always given me serenity and peace. I worked at a dog resort where I fed, walked, played with, cleaned up after, and even had nap time with many dogs. I have studied dog behavior and group play through lessons given by my employment at the dog resort. I can administer medication and do my absolute best at following any requirements your fur baby needs! I have a friendly mini golden doodle, a playful toy Australian Shepherd, and two sweet cats whom I love to pieces! I also work from home and have a very flexible schedule. If you choose to get your baby taken care of by me, I will treat them like my own ❤️ I work from home and have a flexible schedule so they will have all of my attention! If they want it lol. I can also work around specific times you want your dog to eat, medication administered, etc. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that love to play! I can also provide a safe room and playpen for your dog to be in whenever I’m not home if that’s what they please!
“Tish is amazing! She took my two dogs when I had to leave town at the last minute. She was so kind and made sure they felt right at home. We were updated frequently with photos and videos which was much appreciated. The drop off and pick up were so easy and I can’t wait to use her again! Thank you Tish!”
“Chris did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. He gave routine updates with pictures and details that gave me all the comfort while we were away for the week. He was very flexible with our schedule and extremely detail oriented and meticulous about knowing their routine and any medication’s needed. It was also nice to find a Dog Sitter that does not take a million bookings during the same time. Our dogs are not very friendly with other dogs and Chris made sure not to double book with us. We will definitely be using him again for our dog sitting needs!”
“I am SO glad we found Kristen! We boarded our dog Rosie for almost a week and couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Prior to booking and leaving Rosie on her first day, Kristen was very attentive and made sure everyone was calm and comfortable in the new environment. Then she sent plenty of pictures of everyone happy and healthy playing in the HUGE backyard. It's a relief knowing that we have someone to care for Rosie, where she'll get love and exercise, if we're ever out of town!”
“Megan and Jeff were amazing! I was so anxious leaving Sioux with a sitter, but Megan made sure to provide me with plenty of updates and pics which helped calm my nerves. Sioux was able to settle in quickly, and when we went to go pick her up, it seemed like she didn't even wanna leave! (She has separation anxiety, so this was a huge win!) I could tell they treated Sioux like one of their own. I'll absolutely be reaching out to Megan again if I'm in the area and fully trust them with my pup!”

“Charish did a fantastic job with our Sheepadoodle, Nooga for an overnight stay. We did a meet and greet the week before her stay. While we were gone we got updates with pictures! Nooga seemed to be content and enjoyed her stay. Really appreciate The Charish took to love on our girl!”
“Our dog Lola had a great week with Pam!! We got updates and pictures most every day and Lola was so well cared for while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and leaving Lola in someone else’s care other than at home with family so we were so thrilled with how well everything went. We will definitely be using Pam again! Thanks!!”
“Crista watched our dog, Cozy for about a week and updated us daily with photos and sometimes videos. Cozy seemed to have a fun time with the other dogs and was well cared for. We’ll likely use Crista again!”
“Angela was wonderful with our babies. She kept us well looped in while we were out of the country. Our kids even made new besties with her fur babies, they played hard all week, so naturally were worn out when we got them home (worn out in a good way). The initial meeting went well, loved the fact her yard is fenced in. Would recommend her to anyone needing care for their kids.”
“Sara worked great with our dogs! Her own dog and cat also got along well with my fellas. She had good control of them without being g heavy handed. Seemed quite loving to them.”
“Brittany did a great job with my special dog, Kronk. He ate most of a dog bed, and hid his food bowl and she just rolled with it. She was very kind and understanding! She made sure the dogs were getting along with any other dogs she had too. Your pet is in good hands with her!”
About: Your peace of mind and their happiness are my top priorities! I am dedicated to providing peace of mind to pet parents while they’re away. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I treat them like family. When your fur babies are in my care, they’ll receive plenty of attention, snuggles, and love. I have a large, fenced-in backyard where they can play safely and enjoy the outdoors. You will receive many updated, pics and videos while your pet is here having fun. I’m home 90% of the time and make it a priority to plan my activities around what best suits your pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s sticking to their diet, getting the perfect amount of playtime, or providing them with rest when needed, I tailor everything to their routine. I ensure that your pets feel included in everything I do, making them feel like they’re part of my family during their stay. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. My life revolves around my clients’ schedules, and I always plan activities based on the pet’s specific needs. I try to stay home as much as possible, ensuring the pets feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings. During the day, your pets are free to hang out with me in the living room, kitchen, or even my bedroom. I aim to provide a routine that feels familiar and comforting to each pet, adjusting based on their personality and needs. My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and at home as possible during their stay! I care for pets with the same attention and love that I would give my own. In my home, I have a large, fenced-in backyard perfect for playtime and outdoor fun. I’m also centrally located in a wooded neighborhood, right across from a beautiful forest preserve, which means lots of fresh air and opportunities for nature walks. My split-level home gives me the ability to separate pets if there’s ever any tension, ensuring a peaceful environment for everyone. I’m home most of the time, so I’m always available to stick to your pet’s proper diet and administer any medication they may need. I’m flexible with pick-up times to accommodate your schedule, and I make sure that boarders in my home are treated like part of the family. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and comfortable, whether in my home or yours.

I am so grateful Kelley had availability to watch my dog. She was close to my area and had a nice home and Kelley's own Goldendoodle gave my dog a buddy to play with. I did not have to worry about her at all as I knew she was in a caring, safe place!!! Will absolutely use again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cleveland is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 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 of October 2026, there are 327 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 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.
95% 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 TN 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.
