“Susan is so thoughtful and attentive. It was our first time leaving our boys with her and she did a great job with her communication with us and care of our pugs. We will use her again!”
“Our dogs had a great stay with Michael and Anne! They kept us updated with lots of pictures of our pups having fun. They kept the dogs active by walking them and letting them run around and play. We will definitely be using them again!”
“Second time using Misty and she has been a life saver. This is my second time leaving Knox overnight and she has given me the ability to enjoy family gatherings without worrying especially with my anxiety. Will definitely recommend and be using again 💙”
“John took great care of our dog, and was excellent to work with. Prompt communication, and he was very accommodating and supportive with an injury our dog has. Highly recommend.”
“Daisy suffers from Separation Anxiety and needs to be with a person almost all the time. She was so well taken care of by Jenna and her family, she was her normal happy self, when we picked her up. I would definitely board Daisy with Jenna again.”
“We are so happy that our goldendoodle had a loving family to stay with while we were away. We received regular updates with pictures to show us how well he was doing. This was our 2nd time with this family, and our dog was so excited to return. Great peace of mind to have him so well-cared for!”
“Teah and Eric were great. I received many photo updates while we were gone. No doubt Tootsie was being well cared for and getting lots of love and attention. Thank you Teah and Eric!!”
“Sandy was able to take poppy for a pretty long stay super last minute when my original sitter cancelled, which I really appreciated! Poppy loved fetching balls in her backyard every day and I got some awesome action shots to prove it. Thanks so much for taking care of my girl!”
“Dantasia was awesome! This was my first time using Rover and she made the experience excellent! My dog loved her and her family and returned to me as happy and healthy as she was dropped off.”
“Melissa was very accommodating and helpful. She accepted and helped carry in his crate which is the safest place for him if they leave the house. She said that would only be for a short time and maybe not at all. She sent several pics of our dog playing outside , interacting inside or making himself at home on a bed. He was safe and returned home tired from all of his play/running around. I was very grateful for Melissa’s care.”
“Lisa is fabulous! Our pup had a great time and was definitely snuggled and loved on when she stayed there. We loved the daily photo updates! We will definitely be using Lisa again!”
“Brendan and his family made sure our pups were cared for and happy while we were on vacation. We appreciated his updates and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again!”
“Jennifer took absolutely wonderful care of Ivy over Christmas! She took Ivy on a wonderful 10 mile walk with her own dogs and gave her a peanut butter bone as a treat. Ivy came home tired and very happy which is a sign of a very spoiled and happy dog who had so much fun while on "vacation".”
“Boba seemed to have a lot of fun! I appreciate the updates and for spending time with my pup while I was away. I will definitely be using Natalie in the future again!”
“Raven was such a lifesaver for us. We went out of town last minute, and she was able to take such amazing care of our dog. We are so grateful and will definitely use her again. 🙂”
“Alej was great! I was a little nervous with it being the first time my dog has officially stayed with a sitter but she made me feel at ease. I loved the updates and pics while I was away! She was also very flexible and accommodating which I also appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
“I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received! Patrice was attentive, responsible, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. They kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was relaxed, happy, and clearly well taken care of when I returned. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Park
Raven is an excellent sitter! I’m always hesitant leaving my dog child with someone for the first time. She stayed in touch often with pictures and updates which helped put me at ease. Her Son was awesome with Trixy and helped make her stay comfortable! I’d definitely contact Raven for future stays. We’re lucky to have her on Rover!!!
Maddie is such a wonderful sitter and took great care of our Small Munsterlander while we were on a long vacation. The best part was that Maddie goes on regular hikes, so our pup got all the exercise she needs! They both had a great time together, and were so happy to have found someone who’s a perfect fit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Forest Park on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 843 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Forest Park. 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.
91% of Forest Park 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 Forest Park 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 Forest Park 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 Forest Park.
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 Forest Park 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.
