“Melissa is fantastic. She accepted our two dogs into her home and they were treated like hers. She set twice a day updates with pictures and videos. I was out of the country in a different time zone and wonderfully took that into account when she sent her updates. I’m not sure my dogs were happy to come home, they truly love staying with Melissa.”
“Patti was wonderful with my Chihuahua Ella. She stayed for 4 days. I received daily updates and photos . My son picked her up and said you can really tell Ella loves Patti. I highly recommend her and will be booking again soon.”
“Skye had a great weekend with Gail. It was her first time staying at a strangers house and Gail did a great job welcoming her. Gail was patient with her as it takes Skye a little while to warm up. Gail sent us pictures each day and was quick to respond when we had a question. We will definitely use her again in the future for Skye.”
“Nathan and Jenna went above and beyond. They sent me photos, updates and texts the whole time I was gone. My dogs came home so tired! I know they had a great time with this couple, their 3 kids and 2 dogs plus the one the are currently hosting. I could not have hoped for a better experience. I highly recommend Nathan and Jenna!!”
“Savanna kept my puppy for a week while I was on vacation. She did a wonderful job keeping me posted with pictures. She was also flexible and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her.”
“Our mini labradoodle, Freddie, loves his time at his “vacation home” with Kristin and her family! We appreciate that they care for him the same as they do their own pets and we don’t have to worry about him while we are gone!”
“George was so good with our dog Ziggy. Our dog is a very anxious dog, so we worried how it would go- we had no worries with George taking care of him! Ziggy liked him right away and had a blast playing with him in the fenced in backyard. George made sure to spend a lot of time with Ziggy and sent us pictures and updates. 100% would recommend George!”
“We were very anxious about leaving our Lucy with anyone due to not having her very long and her being a rescue but after meeting Kirsten she made us feel very at ease. She is a great communicator and sent pictures while we were away from our girl. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you!”
“Athena was very responsive and understanding of Bella’s needs. She also kept in contact with me and even sent me pictures. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”
“We were very pleased with the care given to our dog and the pictures that were sent almost daily!!! We knew our dog enjoyed her stay because when we went to pick her up she didn't know whether to come with us or stay with Sherri, that speaks volume!!! Thank you for taking such good care 💕 of our Bella!!!!”
“Stephanie was amazing with our not so easy pups. She made our daycation relaxing and stress free! We got pictures and updates all day long. Would highly recommend!”
“I cannot recommend Aricka enough! She took such great care of my animals. She had amazing communication sending pics and updates. When we came to pick them up my pup didn’t want to leave. She’s the best rover and the reason I want to keep using rover! I’m so grateful for her taking such great care of them in such short notice.”
“Bethany was amazing! She took wonderful care of our two dogs and kept me updated with pictures and videos of their days. Both of my dogs are seniors and a little slower these days but their zoomie button has apparently been reset during their stay with Bethany and they are running and playing again like young pups. I would definitely board with her again.”
“Savannah was awesome! She kept me up to date with both pictures and videos. My husband and I both commented on how nice it was to take Sylvie to Savannah's home, compared to a boarding kennel. She got a lot more love, attention and care and came home smelling great too!”
“Rikki was great! She was quick to respond to my messages,and even sent me updates while my dog was on his "vacation". Thanks so much for taking care of Sherlock for us! Will definitely be booking with Rikki again!!”
“First time using Rover (recommended from a family member). From first experience with Rover and first sitter, I am very impressed! Sauddi and my cats got along very well. (They are friendly to everyone and will not go near people they sense are problems.). She provided daily videos, images and messages to update their status. She definitely did a fantastic job and, recommend her for a cat sitter. Gentle and kind. Thank you so much, you were a big help! 😊”
“She was awesome. Very friendly and her dog was very playful and friendly. Her family is awesome with animals and my dog loved them. She sent photos while we were gone of my dog playing with the others. Would highly recommend her”
“Kelli was great! So easy to communicate with and was so sweet with our little guy! Loved getting updates and photos while we were gone. Moose needs medicine 3xday and Kelli was great working with his schedule:). We will definitely be using her again!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Minerva on Rover is $35.52 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 150 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Minerva. 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.
94% of Minerva 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 Minerva 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 Minerva 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 Minerva.
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 Minerva 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.
