“More than pleased with my dogs stay- Summer was able to accommodate for me last minute for my dog to board at her house for an ENTIRE WEEK. I could not ask for a better dog sitter; i felt at ease that my boy was in good hands. I was sent pictures and videos of Everest every day and she even asked questions when she was unsure about care instructions; this showed me Summer really cares and is genuinely there to ensure my dog always stayed safe and content at the same time :) She gave my sweet boy toys, treats, and allowed him on her couch and treated him like a KING!! She will be my go to dog sitter going forward.. THANK YOU, SUMMER…Everest was grinning ear to ear during pick up time! FIVE STARS across the board!!!!!!!”
“Danielle had a cool house on a hot day for my Elkhound. She gradually introduced her dogs to mine and they became fast friends. I loved that she sent lots of pictures!”
“Stacie and Doug took great care of Natty. They sent us a few pics and updates, and I could tell she felt right at home with their family and dog, Jane! We will definitely be booking again.”
“10/10 recommend. Cliff and his wife watched my dog while I was out of town, and when I came back to get her, she was all smiles. I can tell she genuinely loved staying there (not always the case at other sitters btw!) The home is large with a fenced in back yard and toys for the dogs to play in. My dog required solo playtime, as she doesn’t always get along with other dogs, and they were very accommodating. I will be booking future stays with them!”
“Brendan, Sarah, Jasper, and June went above and beyond to make sure our little pupper was comfortable and sent us lots of great updates. Kip is not an easy dog (due to his breed) and the fact that he was such a good guest throughout his stay with them is a reflection of their love, patience, experience, and knowledge of dogs. I highly recommend them if you’re in search of sitters and new friends for your furry babes! They are all amazing!”
“Stephanie was awesome. My dogs were in good hands and were well taken care of. I was sent pictures and videos of my dogs and they looked very happy. Would highly recommend.”
“Once again, Tommy has been cared for by Kathy and Graham so well that we never have to worry when we are away. It's obvious that he remembers and loves them. He enjoys his walks, cuddles and special treats!. The pictures we receive make us smile as well.”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Carla and her family are incredible! I was in Cleveland for work and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter She was super helpful and understanding. She took my dog for walks every day, even though she barks at every cat or dog she sees when she’s on walks She sent me videos and updates without me having to even ask. I’ve never had a dog sitter before so I was kind of nervous about texting everyday because I didn’t want to be annoying, she willingly sent me updates and even offered to allow me to come visit when I miss her. I definitely recommend! Five stars”
“Sarah was the best sitter we’ve had- so glad we found her. She sent daily pictures and videos of her playing and walking our pup. He really enjoyed the backyard. She was very attentive to him, we were relieved to know he was in good hands. Sarah was also very understanding and flexible with travel times. Will definitely be using her next time we go out of town.”
“Chelsea is amazing with responsiveness and attentiveness. I felt very sure that my dog was being taken care of appropriately and lovingly while away on vacation. She sends updates and makes sure your pet is also happy while you’re away.”
“Aspen was so great. I was nervous about using rover and leaving my dog with a stranger, but Aspen was amazing. She was very friendly and welcoming when I dropped my dog off; she told me that she would be to take Effie on a few walks throughout the day and that she might even take her up to the lake. She sent me daily pictures and updates about the walks she would take with my dog and just overall how my dog was doing. It was nice to get the updates/pictures while I was gone for the week and put me more at ease with leaving her. There was a portion of Effie’s stay that another dog was going to be there and Aspen was very accommodating and wanted to make sure it was ok with me that there was another dog there (it was), but she even offered to go to my home on those days to let Effie out if it was not. I would definitely recommend Aspen and would use her again in the future :)”
“I was extremely nervous about leaving my anxious dog for the first time when I had to go away for five days for my brother's wedding. But it turned out that I had absolutelynothing to worry about because Rachel was seriously so amazing. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire time I was away, which immediately put me at ease. And she handled Bailey with so much patience and care that he quickly became comfortable with her. She made a real effort to keep him engaged and active, and it was clear she took the time to get to know his personality and adjust to what he needed in the moment. I especially appreciated that she didn’t just “watch” him—she incorporated him into her daily routine, keeping him busy and comforted. I came back to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and I sort of got the feeling he didn't want to leave! I would recommend Rachel to everyone. :)”
“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”
“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ohio City
Mary was truly wonderful! My dog immediately felt at home and Mary was so communicative and kind during her entire stay (even when Opal was terrified of the 4th of July fireworks). We have moved several times and have had many Rover experiences - Mary is absolutely one of the bests. Can't recommend her highly enough!
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! :)
I had a wonderful experience with this sitter! She took great care of Morty and Archie while I was away and made sure all of their needs were met. She kept me updated throughout their stay with plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Both dogs came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with my pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Tori was awesome! I received daily updates and multiple pictures which made me so happy! Bailey was in such great hands! She had cuddles, treats and lots of fun with her dogs Barley and Porter. If you want your pup to have fun and feel home I highly recommend Tori. Bailey can’t wait to see them again!
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!
They did a wonderful job watching our girl Mouse. She had recently been spayed and they took time and care to make sure she didn’t have any issues while we were traveling for work. We will absolutely use their boarding services again. They sent daily photos and updates which were greatly appreciated. 10/10
Devon was awesome! She took great care of my GSP while my husband and I were away. He is a special needs dog and she unfortunately had to experience two episodes while we were gone. She handled it amazingly and kept us updated. Our dog requires medication and Devon was on top of it. Know your dog will be in great hands with Devon! Would highly recommend. She was very accommodating and took great care of our guy.
Olivia was an amazing Rover sitter! She and her partner took such great care of Charlie. He was so happy when we picked him up, which says everything. They were also very flexible when our pickup time changed, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using them again in the future! Thanks again for everything!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ohio City on Rover is $44.4 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 .

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.
95% of Ohio City 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 Ohio City 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 Ohio City 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 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 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.
