“Robert watched Mia at his house overnight for a few nights. He has a great fenced in backyard, perfect for our pup to run and stretch her legs. Mia came back happy and tired out from her running vacation ? We would definitely use Robert again!”
“We have used Marcie multiple times now. We never have to worry with her. She takes wonderful care of our dog and spoils him like he is her own. She is super flexible with time last minute changes. We were gone on our dog’s birthday and she sent us pics of him getting special birthday dog treats! Can’t say enough good things!”
“She's amazing!! Super accommodating when my flight was delayed from the snow. She took great care of my pup and updated me frequently with a video or picture! She's a great petsitter!!”
“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog, followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly, and kept me updated the whole time. I received daily photos updates, and it was so comforting to see my pup playing and settling in perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone in the Avon Lake area”
“Eric and Polly are fantastic! They are so caring and Colby loves spending time there! We can go on vacation knowing that he feels at home and that he is in a safe and loving environment.”
“Derek is the absolute best! Our dogs have never been happier with a sitter. They had a blast, were spoiled with individualized attention, and we received regular photos and “pupdates” from Derek that put us at ease.”
“Julie is amazing! The moment we met her and her family we knew we could trust her with Mamba (our fur baby)! You could see that he immediately felt comfortable in their home. He even barked at US when we came to pick him back up.. haha we had great communication throughout his stay with her and couldn’t wish for a better experience! I’m sure Mamba misses her already! Thank you again so so so much Julie for taking good care of our Baby. We will definitely book with Julie for his next stay. 10/10 !!”
“Megan took great care of our dog Ruthie while we were traveling for a week. This was our third time leaving our dog with Megan. I know Ruthie is treated like she’s part of the family when she’s at Megan’s. Thanks again!”
“Lindsey and her boys are perfect pet sitters. They took such great care of my old boy Max I’m not sure he wanted to leave. :) Lindsey was fabulous at keeping in touch and sent lovely photo updates. Fret not with this sitter. Reliable, perfect home ( easy large yard access) , thoughtful and obvious animal lovers. I will not hesitate to use this sitter again.”
“AMAZING!!! First of all even before how amazing these two are - they are right he the airport. About them: I knew my pups were so happy the entire time they were there. I received so many great pictures and little stories about their day. These two were so enthusiastic about loving my dogs and letting me know. Sarah even works from home some days so you know your pups are happy 24/7. My dogs just got home and they are completely passed out so I know they were active and happy. I highly recommend Brendan and Sarah.”
“Stacie and Doug took great care of our little guy! They provided regular updates and pictures while we were away. I would highly recommend them to anyone and plan to use them again in the future. Thank you!”
“Summer was very flexible and accommodated unforeseen circumstances. She really treated Teddy like her own. He appeared to be right at home. Thank you for taking care of him.”
“Sharon took great care of my doodle! She sent frequent updates and he came back quite sleepy. I could tell that he had plenty of activity while I was away. Would definitely recommend Sharon and will use her again. For reference, my boy is a 90lb golden doodle.”
“Ron sent us regular updates of Henri with pictures! He made sure that Henri was cared for and had the best time. Henri got tons of attention, play time, and treats! He loved the fenced in yard to run around in with the other dogs!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies because I would only want the absolute best care for mine. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, crate routines, playtime, and of course plenty of cuddles. Living with both dogs and cats has also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which allows me to keep pets safe, calm, and happy in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel comfortable with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs and two cats of my own. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and comfortable. I do work full time, but my job is very flexible. When I’m booked for pet sitting, I’m able to adjust my schedule or take time off to make sure I can fully focus on the pets in my care. I prioritize reliability and planning so every pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. My home is clean, pet-safe, and thoughtfully set up to create a calm environment. I remove any hazards, keep floors clear, secure doors and gates, and ensure all pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and playtime — so they feel right at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves active play, cozy naps, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving home away from home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Elyria
We had such a great experience with Megan! She took amazing care of Romeo and Athena while we were away. She sent us tons of photos and updates throughout the stay, which made us feel so much more comfortable and connected to them. She took them on many walks, played with them a lot, and really treated them with care and attention. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and pays attention to their personalities and needs. Both dogs came back happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter 😊

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Elyria on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 622 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elyria. About 93% of Elyria sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
