“Phyllis far exceeded my expectations! This was the first time we used the Rover.com app and we were hesitant about the whole thing. As soon as we dropped our dog off with Phyllis, we knew he was in great hands! She put our mind at ease by sending pics and videos of our dog while we were on our trip. We highly recommend Phyllis and would absolutely use her again.”
“Jenna was so awesome!! Very communicative and responsive with scheduling, sent lots of pics and updates throughout each day, had a beautiful and safe home for my dog to play and relax. He even came home with a new toy!! Absolutely would recommend.”
“Kathy was amazing!! She’s super sweet, gentle , Extremely nurturing and kind . Kathy watched my doodle along with my sister’s doodle for 6 nights… got great pics and updates daily. Both dogs were well taken care of, and so happy !! Kathy goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are content and happy!!! We felt confident that the dogs were in a good place and well taken care of while we were on vacation …. highly recommend!!!”

They are great and send lots of photo and video updates so I know he’s having a great time! Highly recommend and Xaden will definitely be back!”
“Swetha and her family were so wonderful and took such good care of our dog, Grover! She sent us lots of photos and videos and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and felt at home while we were away. He loved playing with their dog, Tucker and came back tired and happy from all of the fun. It was our first time using Rover, and Swetha made it such a great experience! We would definitely use her again for boarding and absolutely recommend her if you’re looking for a reliable dog sitter you can trust.”
“Clare did a great job with Indy. She has a sweet comforting personality and our dog felt right at home right away. It's clear how much Clare cares about animals and she so wanted to please. Her apartment is tidy and there's lots of places for dogs to hang out. Clare sent pictures of Indy sleeping, walking and playing. Clare is just starting with Rover but we recommend that you give her a shot watching your dog. Mark and Patty”
“Great experience! One of my dogs is very nervous around new people and Victoria was sure to let me know she was doing ok during the stay. She was able to accommodate my drop off and pick up times without any problem and sent several pictures during my dogs' stay. I would definitely recommend her and will book her again if I need a last minute sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

Tori and her husband were incredible! This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous about it but it couldn’t have been a better experience for me and my pup! They took such good care of him and sent me updates every night. My pup had a blast playing with their cutie pups. I will absolutely be booking again!! THANK YOU!!! 10/10 no notes :)
James is fantastic! We appreciate how loving and patient he is with our energetic lab, Cleo. He is great about sending reassuring updates, photos, and video which we truly appreciate. James is also very chill and laid-back and flexible with timing associated with pick up and drop off. Thanks again for another great stay James!!
This was Linford’s second stay with Mary, and we would definitely book with her again. Mary kept us updated on what she and Linford were up to throughout his stay. He was excited to see her when we dropped him off and excited to see us when we picked him up. A perfect combination!
We had such a great experience. This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Devon was super communicative and really made our dog feel comfortable. Our dogs got along great. Devon only hosts one family’s pets at a time, so I wasn’t worried about additional complications. 100% would book again!!!
Karlee has watched Pongo several times. In fact, I don't travel unless she can watch him. She sends pictures daily without having to be asked and even gives cute stories that warm my heart when I'm away from my baby. Karlee answers texts right away and I never have to worry about a thing. I can live life. She is a godsend
Such an amazing experience! I got lots of pictures, regular updates, and it was obvious how much Mike really loved and cared for her like his own. She looked so happy and comfortable the whole time, which gave me peace of mind. I’d book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend!
Obie loved her stay with Aspen! Especially hanging out with her new friend Clifford — the sweetest most gentle pup. Aspen sent photos and updates throughout the day which we so appreciated. We needed to extend Obie’s stay last minute and we were so grateful she was able to accommodate. Aspen was very easy to communicate with and we know she took the best care of her. Obie will definitely be back!
I never have to worry about my dog when she is with Kimberly. She’s great about sending pictures and videos so that I can see how my dog is doing. My dog has never looked stressed in any of the pictures at Kimberly’s, and that is unusual for my tender hearted dog! I will continue using Kimberly as long as she’s available!!
Jessica was wonderful watching our dog Alfie! We met prior to make sure she and her dog would be comfortable with him. She’s very flexible and accommodating with timing and was so great with sending updates and pictures while we were gone. I would highly recommend her, she’s very caring and responsible! :)
This was my first time using Rover or even boarding my dog with someone who wasn’t a family member. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous about it and when I dropped my dog off, she was so worried and upset. But Hannah was a pro. She never made me feel like I was asking about my dog too much and alleviated any worries I had, always with a calm and understanding demeanor. Sent plenty of pics and updates and it wasn’t long before my dog warmed up to her. Thanks again Hannah!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ohio City is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 788 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ohio City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Ohio City can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ohio City home-away-from-home, 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 Ohio City.
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 Ohio City 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 , 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 .
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.
