“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.”

He felt right at home and all the pictures of him playing, lounging, and enjoying treats was all the proof we needed that we made the best choice with Melissa. We will absolutely rebook the next time we have an out of town trip.”

About: I have a Shih Tzu of my own, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love that dogs need. I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who enjoys spending time with dogs. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of affection. I will treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs the time and attention they deserve. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection. I will always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and happy. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where dogs will receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I have my own Shih Tzu, so I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe and comfortable. My apartment is close to two parks, including a dog water park, where I can take dogs for walks and playtime with the owner’s permission. I will always follow your pet’s routine and make their safety my top priority.
“Siri was an excellent care taker for my baby Pom! She was there with my pet the entire weekend. Helped me discover a food brand my dog likes. I thank Siri so much for making Suga feel at home. I plan to use her again!”
“My dog was welcomed graciously by Joe & Tasha into their home! I met Joe & Tasha prior to booking at the dog park where our dogs were able to meet and was immediately comfortable with them taking my dog for the long weekend. They were quick to respond with communications leading up to the weekend as well as updates throughout. My dog is a Siberian Husky with lots of energy and came home exhausted from all the fun!!”
“Patrica is THE BEST. We’ve left our little guy with her several times. She takes him on lots of walks every day and sends lots of pictures and video updates. Apollo is always excited to hang out with his buddies (her other dogs)”
“Kimberly boarded our dog Murphy for a night when our babysitter fell through. This was our first Rover experience so we were naturally hesitant. Kimberlys house was calming and Murphy seemed instantly at home. We got lots of pictures and she seemed extremely comfortable and happy during her stay. We would definitely stay again!”

Alej was amazing for our two bonded dogs. This is our second with her, and both times our puppers came home so calm and relaxed. Also both times, one or both dogs ended up days before vacation needing meds. Alej had done it all for these guys! Eye drops, ear drops, meds, skin wipes, soaps on paws, cones, & every time you can see the improvement! You won't be sorry if you work with her!
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 $42.5 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 841 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.
92% 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.
