“Karin has been amazing with Sage, me and my husband went on a 7 day trip for our honeymoon and we decided to leave Sage with Karin. We have never tried anything like this before and normally we went to a boarding facility but decided to try something new for Sage. Best decision we ever made. Numerous amounts of updates, photos and videos, a lot of reassurance, she’s flexible and understanding and she’s has been gentle and loving with Sage as well. We were worried Sage would be too much, but he fit right in. We definitely recommend her and we will 100% be coming back to her for future play dates and boarding! Thank you so much Karin!”
“Sheila and Jeff did such an amazing job watching our Frenchie Norman for 10 days. We received lots of pictures and updates daily. Norman had a great time playing with their 2 dogs and they truly treated him as their own. It was such a blessing to find them and have piece of mind that he was in good hands so we could enjoy our vacation and not have to worry. We will be using them again for ALL our dog sitting needs. Thank you guys so much!!!!!”
“Great job! I feel like zip was well taken care of. I received updates and pictures while Zip was in care of Brendan. Brendan was flexible with drop off and pick up times. Reasonable pricing. I would send Zip here again in future.”
“Dean had the most pawlicious day ever 🐾💛 As a rescue pup parent, I’m always a little extra cautious—but wow, they made it so easy to relax. We got so many sweet photo updates and little messages throughout the day, and each one felt like a mini window into Dean’s adventure. Honestly, I think he forgot we existed for a bit 😄 He played his heart out, explored, and looked SO genuinely happy in every single picture. You could just tell he felt safe, loved, and totally at home—which is everything we could ask for. Thank you for treating our boy like your own and giving him a day full of tail wags and joy. We’ll definitely be back for more Dean-approved playdates 🐶✨”
“Fritz had a wonderful time with Abigail and her pups! She was very attentive and caring with him, going above and beyond what I would have expected. We really appreciated that she sent us lots of updates while we were gone. Highly recommended— and we’ll be back soon!”
“Catherine was just wonderful taking care of Millie. Kept me updated with photos throughout the day. So happy to have found a home away from home for my fur baby. Extremely happy and at peace that she’s well cared for. Thanks for that!”
“Kyri was an excellent dog sitter for Clover! She responded promptly to messages, including my late request for booking, and provided updates and pics of Clover while I was away. She was very accommodating for my senior blind dog and gave her medication (my dog is also diabetic and requires insulin). It was easy to coordinate pick-up and drop-off times. I did not worry about Clover's well being while I was away. I will definitely book with Kyri again!”
“Tim and Katarzyna have been great with our dogs and with keeping us updated every day. The large outdoors and the playtime are excellent. I highly recommend and will be using their services again in the future.”
“This is the first time we tried using Rover. I was more then pleased with the whole experience. Joanne was extremely friendly and welcoming to our dog. She sent us pictures and updates which set my mind at ease about leaving our older dog with someone unfamiliar to her. Our dog seemed happy when we picked her up. I would definitely have Joanne watch our dog again if needed.”
“Dawn is awesome! You can tell she deeply cares for all the animals in her care. She’s responsive, thoughtful and, overall, just a fantastic person. My dog was wiped out after playing so much. I will definitely trust her again to take care of my pet.”
“Patricia is an extraordinary dog sitter! From the moment we met her to drop off Novak, she was extremely friendly and attentive, and we could tell that we’d made the right choice for his care. She sent many photos and videos of Novak having a great time with her sweet dogs and texted updates as well. When it was time for Novak to go, she sent him off with a toy as well! If in this area again, we’d definitely board Novak with Patricia!”
“Cerah and her family were excellent with our senior dog who doesn’t hear or see well anymore. She is extremely understanding of his needs and had very clear communication with us before and during the stay. We were very happy with our dog’s 2 week stay and hope to use her again!”
“Peanut was a life saver. We have just had the most chaotic and stressful move ever. He took care of our gems for a month instead of the original week. We were so grateful to not have to keep moving them around. Flash has separation anxiety and Gremlin lost his only known "mom" cat in Nov.”
“Was a last minute weekend stay for my dog and quickly felt comfortable with him staying there. She shared photos of dogs playing together and was quite responsive if ever messaged.”
“Kimberly was amazing! She provided regular updates and photos, and made sure our puppy’s schedule wasn’t too heavily impacted during our leave. Her home is set up to keep our puppy comfortable, safe, and secure. Her dog Tony was very nice too.”
About: I have provided care and enrichment for a variety of animals throughout my life, from hamsters all the way up to farm animals. I have had multiple jobs in animal care, acquired a bachelor’s degree that required multiple animal-related care internships, and have personally cared for many family pets in their own homes. I'M OFFICIALLY FULL-TIME IN PERSONAL PET CARE ☺️ If a pet parent is flexible with their schedule I can fit it around my other clients! Especially for walks or drop ins. I'm going full-time on pet care for a little while I am content to go for long walks or trips to a dog park, or just lounge around the house with the occasional trip outside all depending on what your pet prefers. I will follow all instructions on their meals and any meds they may have.
“Very friendly and accommodating. Great care given to my spoiled and separation anxiety dog. They refused to give up on her! I offered multiple times to come get her but they dealt with her spoiled behavior and anxiety from being away from me. I never knew this was an issue! We are going to attend training (mostly for me) as I learn how to not let her be with me all of the time. These people are saints and I would definitely book again with them,but only after wete trainedbetter to be fair to sitters! Thank you both! You deserve an award for the great care you gave my spoiled girl!”
“Amber was awesome! She did a wonderful job taking care of our 8 & 11 year old GSPs. We loved that she only takes one booking at a time so she could help deal with some separation anxiety and give special attention when required. The dogs were well taken care of and got plenty of exercise. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dodds
The only reason I’m not leaving 5 stars for Heather is because an already scheduled drop off date had to be changed by her at the very last minute which caused me to have to really scramble to get my dog Maggie to her by an alternate time the next night. Other than that I was very pleased and will book with her if I have future boarding needs. Heather took very good care of Maggie who has some separation anxiety issues and made her feel comfortable. Maggie requires medication in the form of a pill 3x day which Heather agreed to and took care of. Correspondence and pictures were adequate during the stay. All toys and other items that I left with her were returned when I picked Maggie up at the end of my trip. Once again I would recommend Heather.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dodds is $29 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $37 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 November 2026, there are 736 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dodds. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Dodds 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 Dodds 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 Dodds.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dodds. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Dodds 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
