“Kaitlyn and her family were amazing!! They treated my precious Lele like family. I received pictures of my girl every day. I can’t say enough about how wonderful this experience was!!!”
“Chelsea was amazing with our 2 golden retrievers. She made them feel right at home so much so that they slept on her couch (which I don’t even permit in my home😊). Her son was also our younger one’s best friend as he tirelessly threw the ball for her! She sent many pictures and updates and was so sweet when talking about them. We already have her booked for another visit and undoubtedly will use Chelsea again. She is a true animal lover!”
“Amazing! Would highly recommend. Knew my Bear was loved and cared for. Was able to help us with short notice after a my wife and I have been dealing with a tree falling on our house. Very grateful!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our not so easy pups. She made our daycation relaxing and stress free! We got pictures and updates all day long. Would highly recommend!”
“Second time my kitty has stayed with Katherine and will most definitely be going back! She gives updates and sends pictures everyday. A wonderful sitter highly recommended!!!!”
“Maya was amazing. She took such great care of our pups. We received multiple updates throughout their stay, never making us worry about how they were doing. We truly appreciate her and her husband for caring for them like they were her own.”
“Ronda is an amazing dog sitter!! She was friendly with us as well as the dog. I felt confident after the play meet because she let our good dog kairi run around in every room and outside. The house was very clean, freshly scented and safe for dogs. We were sent pictures everyday without asking or bothering her. We had no complaints for a whole 9 days on vacation to California. We will always contact her for future dog sitting no matter the duration. We trust her and she’s a good, nice, modern, casual, and sweet person. Easy to talk with and recommend her for sure upon being strangers. Ronda watched our pitbull with confidence with all the true information about Kairi. It worked out. Thank you so much!!”
“Kash had a wonderful time staying with Briana, her family and his new friend Duke! Briana sent several pictures daily and kept up updated on his eating, playing and sleeping routine. We knew he was getting the love and attention as if he was home.”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“Amanda was a fantastic choice to watch our Corgi, Regi while we were out of town for a couple of days. Amanda was very easy to coordinate and communicate with, she provided us with daily updates and even a picture of Regi having a great time with her family. Amanda and her family treated Regi like she was their own. We will definitely use her services again, and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again.”
“Jon was great! He responded quickly to my questions and was great with our dog Emmett. He made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with someone we didn't know. He treated Emmett as one of his own while he was in his care. Will most def. Be using them again!”
“Thank you very much for everything towards my dog. You are a very good caregiver. My dog was very happy. She keeps you in communication and sends you photos every day.🤗”
“Sooki had a great experience with Deanna and even made some new friends. Deanna was excellent; welcoming and reassuring--she sent daily updates and photos and answered questions promptly. All in all, a wonderful place for dogs to feel at home. 5-stars! I will definitely book again with Deanna.”
About: I’ve had a fur companion all of my life! I’ve successfully raised and trained five dogs from puppies and I have experience with rescue pups who may not feel entirely comfortable in their new environment. I’ve experienced small and large breeds alike, with my current pup being a King Cavalier Spaniel. Goose’s cousins who we see weekly are two Golden retrievers and one rescue mix. I’m able to be flexible or rigid when it comes to your pets schedule, and am knowledgeable in special diets, fresh pet food, administering meds if needed. I have the luxury of working from home and creating my own schedule which makes my days very flexible! I currently can accept pets for boarding, play dates or walks Sunday through Thursday, 9:30am to 10pm. My dog is allowed to be on all furniture and sleep in the bed and your pet would be permitted to as well if that is your preference! Goose and I take several walks a day and love to take day trips to various area dog parks and hiking trails or enjoy a lazy afternoon on the couch.
About: I have always had pets . I grew up helping my mother groom and take care of dogs. I would do anything for an animal. I am available all 24/7 everyday. I am willing to work any day of the week. I am availability because this is my only job, and I am passionate. I have been lucky enough to be raised with dogs my entire life. My family were breeders for standard poodles at one point, which was amazing to watch and learn about. I am no stranger to special needs, administering meds, able to provide short term care until help arrives. I love all dog breeds equally and will treat your dog like my own. This is my passion. I have 2 guest rooms that can be turned into private doggo apartments. If your pets need exercise I can provide. If they need relaxation, I love cuddles on the couch. We have crates of all sizes, beds for any size dog, dog gates for stairs, enough rooms to spread out and separate if needed, and live minutes away from a fenced in dog park. We live 3 minutes from 2 vet clinics and we use them for our own dogs. We have security cameras in the house with 2 way speakers if we need to step out for any reason. Please let us know about your dogs temperament with other dogs ahead of time. If your dog has special needs or quirks around certain people. We are happy to share our dogs food but would prefer food is delivered with the dog for stays. We are used to dogs that have a tendency to run if given the chance but appreciate heads up so we can be extra attentive.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cortland on Rover is $49.95 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 137 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cortland. 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.
100% of Cortland 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 Cortland 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 Cortland 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 Cortland.
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 Cortland 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.
