“I had a great experience leaving my dog with Emily for boarding! From the very beginning, she gave me a lot of peace of mind. She asked all the right questions about her routine, needs, and care, which immediately made me feel confident that she has plenty of experience looking after dogs. Her communication throughout the stay was excellent. She regularly shared pictures and updates, so I always knew how she was doing and could see that she was comfortable and being well taken care of. It’s never easy leaving your dog with someone else, but Emily made the whole experience stress-free. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands and would absolutely trust her to watch her again. Highly recommend!”
“Such a great experience throughout the entire boarding. Gaby sent me updates, photos, and was quick to respond. She treated coco like her own which put me at ease. I’ve never felt so comfortable with anyone watching my dog until now. I’m usually told she won’t even eat which makes me so nervous, but she was eating, playing, and not at all shy like she has been every time anyone else has watched her. What’s important to me is the attention coco needs because she’s my shadow at home. Gaby said she went everywhere with her, sat with her, and slept with her; which is the same routine I’m used to and it’s hard to ask another person to give your dog so much of their time to cater to my diva lol Will highly recommend and truly believe she will make you feel at ease booking with her. (:”
“Absolutely amazing. This is the first sitter I’ve had where my dog came back fully exhausted. Huge backyard that my dog took full advantage of. Pictures were sent every day and multiple times a day. They will be my go to sitters from here on out.”
“Alexandra was amazing! Great communication before, during and after our pups stay. She sent pictures, sent updates and pampered our little girl. Will absolutely use her again when we need a sitter for our fur baby in the future.”
“Cathy was great! My dog has not been around other dogs since leaving the breeder and takes time to warm up to people so I was worried about leaving her with a sitter. Cathy reassured me all would go well and she fulfilled that promise. She was very knowledgable on how to handle my anxious dog at her arrival. Cathy also sent me updates with photos and videos to let me know how my dog was doing. When I came to pick up my dog and Cathy was telling her bye I saw her doing her tail wag that let me know she connected with Cathy and loved being there. I have already rebooked another stay. Thanks again Cathy!”
“Wonderful experience! We were nervous to leave our young dog while going out of town on short notice. We hadn’t had her very long and she is shy around strangers; on top of that she started her first heat and had her spay delayed. Needless to say, I was so nervous about having to be separated from her. Hannah and her family did a wonderful job watching our dog while we were out of town. We got pictures and updates several times a day. On our meet and greet, we got to check out the huge backyard and Hannah took special care to learn my dog’s routine, favorite toys, etc. Hannah even gave her a little bath when her fur got matted so that she would be more comfortable. When we went to pick her up, our dog felt so at home that she acted like she lived there! We give an A+ and will book again!”
“When you want peace of mind while you are away, having a pet sitter whom you can trust is imperative. Emily is so awesome! She responses promptly, take pictures, walk Buddy, and gives update on a daily basis. I highly recommend her.”
“Svetlana and her family once again took amazing care of our cat, Zena. I think my cat didn’t want to go home because she loved it there. I will bring her to Svetlana again!”
“Marcus was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. He was available and answered all questions. It was my first time leaving Luca with anyone and I was a little nervous but Marcus help put me at ease. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Jessica provided stellar service. I was initially nervous boarding my cat and reactive dog. There were no issues and Jessica provided daily updates and photos and even replaced forgotten treats/toys since it was a bit of a trip. Would definitely recommend.”
“Ketsiah was absolutely amazing. Took in our pup on short notice. Kept in contact with us the entire trip. Pics and texts. We truly appreciate you Ketsy! Thank you so much. I highly recommend her.”
“Kimberly sent several updates and pictures throughout the stay and was always quick to communicate! When you meet her, you immediately pick up on her love for pups and taking good care of them. Gatsby had so much fun with her sweet dogs, too!”
“Thank you so much for watching my dogs! She kept me posted and made sure I was informed. This was my first time using Rover and leaving my 2 babies with anyone. Definitely will book again!”
“Stacy was amazing with my dog. She communicates so well and it feels like she really wants to do her best to make sure your pup feels comfortable. I felt at ease leaving Ahri in her care and she sent frequent updates and pictures during Ahri's stay :) We will definitely book again when needed. Thank you so much!”
“Karen and her lovely family made me feel very comfortable leaving my little girls. She was very accomodating about some of their special needs and I could tell they had been comfortable staying there. She sent photos while I was away, which was very nice. So glad I have someone to care for my little dogs!!”
“Dawn was great. Our dog is anxious and a little high maintenance. Dawn handled everything great. Usually when we pick our dog up you can tell he’s been stressed but he was very relaxed and happy. She sent pictures and videos and you could tell she cared for our dog well. We would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Lauren and her family took care of our elderly min pin for a month. Communication was great and we received regular updates and pictures. Our dog was returned to us happy and healthy, and also freshly groomed. I would recommend Lauren to anyone and plan to book with her again for future pet stays. Thanks Lauren!”
“We booked Briana for a last minute stay and it was the best decision for our Mona. I was given updates regularly about how she was doing and to top it off, Briana was kind enough to give her a bath and paint her nails too! We will definitely be using her services again.”
“Juan and his family were great with Bonnie. It gave me great comfort to know that Bonnie was with people that would love on him and nurture him. Thank you Juan for taking care of my fur child, I’ll definitely be there sing you all again.”

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cleveland is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $47 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 651 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.
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 TX 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.
