“Our dog was with Sharon for 16 days. He came home as if everything was normal in life. Sharon is very comfortable with "her" dogs. She seems very relaxed and that is what the dogs respond to.”
“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!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years. As a neonatal nurse practitioner, providing attentive, compassionate care is part of who I am, and I bring that same level of responsibility and love to every pet I watch. I’m the proud owner of Kona, my friendly 9-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix, and I have two young children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Eric and Polly took excellent care of my dog Griffin. They sent me several pictures and kept me up-to-date on how Griffin was doing. I know he got the attention he needed. Thank you Eric and Polly. My dog has an anxiety problem and I think he’s better suited to have someone come in and watch him in his own home.”

About: Hi! I’m a Registered Nurse, a dog lover, and the proud dog mom to Mr. Puppers, I work at home full time, and take frequent walks. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work from home, so I’m able to plan my day around frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m very structured and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and secure. Caring for my own dog, Mr. Puppers, is already part of my daily schedule. I care for pets by keeping their routines consistent and stress-free. In my home, pets get frequent potty breaks, walks, meals on schedule, playtime, and lots of attention since I work from home.
“Megan took such great care of my dog, Jaxon. She sent me photos and updates throughout the duration of his stay with her, which helped ease my mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. She took him along on park adventures, and made sure he got play time with his favorite toys and outdoor activities. She was very warm & welcoming which made me very comfortable leaving my pet in her care. He always looked so happy in the photos she sent me and I know he enjoyed his time spent there with her. I definitely plan to use Megan again in the future.”
“Stephanie was able to accept a last minute request which was extremely helpful. We have had Oakley stay multiple times. He loves the yard! Stephanie was responsive and communicative. Oakley came home calm and happy! Thank you.”
“Katherine is amazing! Biscuit loved her and her dog!! He had the best time and she kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages! I will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends and will be using her services again! Thank you Katherine!”
“Kelly is the absolute best! Anytime we have to go out of town, we know that our dog is in the best of hands. Constant updates and communication the entire time. We are worried that our dog is always sad to come home because she gets so spoiled staying with Kelly.”

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 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Elyria on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 608 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elyria. About 91% 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
