“What can I say about Kristie? She was incredible with my pup. He’s a bit of a finicky boy, and this was his first experience not at a kennel while dad was away. After asking great questions to get an understanding m, we did a meet and greet and Reggie seemed to enjoy, so we went ahead with the booking. Throughout my 7 day trip, I got plenty of updates and pics (peep the gallery). Kristie took the time to get to know the pup, checked in with me to get insights, and tailored her interactions and expectations to match my goober’s needs. 10/10 recommend, and hope to rebook whenever I need a sitter!”
“Ashley was awesome! Our dogs were very comfortable and she even provided photo/video updates throughout their stay. She treated them like family and we'll definitely use Ashley's services again!”
“First time using Rover with our Dog. Allan did a great job watching our dog. He provide updates daily with pictures and was very responsive to messages. Would highly recommend and would definitely have Allan watch our Dog again. Thanks Allan!”
“Jayden and his family were absolutely amazing with Greta! From the moment we dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. Jayden sent plenty of pictures throughout her stay, and seeing how happy, relaxed, and well cared for she was gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she was treated like part of the family, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely trust Jayden to watch Greta again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter!”
“Jennifer was amazing with my dog, Pablo! She cared for him like he was her own and kept me updated every day with photos and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind. Pablo was happy, well-loved, and so comfortable with her. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!”
“Breanna & Clay took the most amazing care of our "special needs" pup, Yogi, for a 10 day visit, they were absolutely amazing in calming our fears of leaving him for such a long time. Yogi thrived while staying with them, and they provided the most adorable pictures and videos throughout the stay! After many pet sitters being used throughout the years, we were finally able to relax on a vacation without worry! 10/10 will be using them again, we actually just booked them for our next trip! If you want a worry free vacation knowing your pup is in good hands, book with these two!!”

“Logan and Ellie were great pup sitters! They were available last minute and accommodated my pup more than I could ever ask for. They treated my baby girl like she was family. Great communication and even sent multiple pictures. Highly recommend! Will be using their services again.”
“Erin was available on very short notice for a holiday weekend for both of our pups. We have to very sweet, happy boys, but they are both big…one being a giant Newfoundland who is full of 1 y/o energy 😉 She was so accommodating and sent us updates and photos so we knew the boys were doing just fine. She was quick to respond and the boys were happy as could be. We would definitely come to Erin for future needs again!”
“I would highly recommend Zurijanne! She is responsive, great with all pets big and small providing video and picture updates daily. I knew my dogs were in great hands when I was away!”
“Beth saved the day (week, month!) during a family emergency, and said yes to a last-minute canine house guest ... over Christmas! I needed to find a safe spot for my dad's dog, and Beth not only took her in but also made her feel like part of the household, as well as sending me regular updates and happy photos during their week+ stay. I can't thank Beth enough for her flexibility, openness, and compassion. Highly recommend!”
“Cindy was wonderful with my dogs, Chet and Kohl! The dogs even became friends with their pet guinea! Thank you for all you do to ensure that my dogs feel comfortable!”
“June took such great care of my highly active dog Zozo. She did an awesome job learning Zozo's needs and adapting to make her stay care free. I will definitely use June again and highly recommend her for other people in need of some dog or cat house sitting.”
“Janelle was amazing with our guy Oscar. We had to find someone last minute, as the person we had needed to back out. She took very good care of him and gave us daily updates as well as pics. She is a lover of all animals and it shows by the way she interacts with them. I will definitely be asking her to watch Oscar the next time we need someone and will recommend her to all of our family and friends!!”
“Paige was great with Pebbles. Appreciate her willingness to take on our nervous & anxious pup. Pebbles seemed to get along great with everyone including Eddie, so good first stay all the way around.”
“We are so grateful to have found Lisa to care for our dog, Lilly! She watched Lilly for four days and was absolutely amazing. From the start, she kept us updated with sweet messages and adorable pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was such a relief to be able to get away and not worry about the care Lilly was receiving—we knew she was in great hands. Lisa went above and beyond, and we could tell she truly cared about Lilly. We’re moving soon and only wish we had found her sooner. If you're looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive pet sitter, we can't recommend Lisa enough!”

I will always be extremely grateful with Kristal for taking excellent care of Pandita. Kristal is a really sweet and kind lady. She kept me updated all the time! She sended me pictures, videos, feed her, played with her, and took her to walks. Even gave me a little bed for Pandita because she loved it so much. I would totally choose her again and trust her blindly as my dog caregiver. Thank you so much Kristal!
Kristal took very good care of our 3 pups while on a cruise. She was flexible with our schedule when we decided to drive to Florida instead of fly which caused us to need to extend our booking which she did without hesitation.Even though Kristal knew that I wouldn’t be reachable during our 7 day cruise she still made sure to send updated & pictures for me to see once I was back online. Of course our pups were very happy to see us, they went right back to their normal behavior without missing a beat which tells me they were treated well while in Kristal’s care. We would deff recommend her to others & will use her in the future.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Northwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Northwood on Rover is $29.97 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 182 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Northwood. 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.
100% of Northwood 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 Northwood 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 Northwood 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 Northwood.
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 Northwood 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.
