About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little kid. Our family always had a dog and my specialty is belly rubs and long walks I work from home and can spend as much time as possible playing with them. I give unlimited belly rubs and kisses to make them comfortable I have plenty of space to make your dog comfortable and happy with love and lots of rubs and kisses. The dogs have access to lay on the bed and furniture
“They did Fantastic with my buddy. I'm sure that you will be very pleased, with their services. I would like to thank them again, for taking great care of him.”
“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!”
“Amazing! My dogs love when I drop them off to Miss Debra. She is very attentive and cares for my fur babies so well. My Brownie doesn’t always get along with other dogs but after each visit she leaves with a new friend.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life! Currently have three and love them more than anything! When walking down the street, I cannot pass a dog without having to pet it! Your dogs will be loved and cared for like they are my own … likely spoiled😊 I spend the majority of my day with my dogs! I am home when am not working and have the time and the space to care for dogs. I have a fenced in yard and there are 3 fur-babies here to play with other dogs! The dogs are always in my site as I keep the kitchen, sun-room and family area as the only space they can roam free!
About: My dogs are my babies. ❤️ If you feel the same way, we already have something important in common! I started dog walking because I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your precious pups. My husband and I adopted two rescue dogs, Myrtle and Daisy, who came to us with potty and behavioral challenges after being poorly cared for in a puppy mill. With patience and love, they’ve blossomed into two silly, fun-loving dogs who are an important part of our family. I’m not a trainer, groomer, or vet tech—I’m simply a devoted pet parent who understands how much peace of mind matters when you’re leaving your “babies” with someone else. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted friend to you and your pups! 🐾 I’m available for weekday walks starting around 3:30 PM. I enjoy getting outside and spending time with dogs, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. My own dogs also keep me familiar with the importance of consistency, attention, and lots of love! On weekends, I am available for boarding from Friday evening to Sunday evening. To ensure dog safety, we crate all dogs when humans are away. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and patience. I’ll also keep you updated during visits so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Janelle is amazing. She was attentive to my dog who is a little older. From all the pictures and videos she sent during his stay I could tell he was happy and having a blast.”
“My dog had awesome time at Mark’s place. We were able to enjoy our long term vacation with Mark and his family’s help. Frequent communications and pictures. Definitely recommend Mark’s service for anyone!”
“So happy with Beth and all she did to help us out. Flexible and appreciative that she was able to help us out with Rover program snarl. No doubt she is on the top of our list for future bookings”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician at a shelter I used to volunteer for, and have had my own dogs and cats my entire life. I’ve recently gone part-time and would enjoy walking your pets or stopping in for those needed potty breaks. I used to walk dogs for the shelter I now work at. I also foster animals for them, most dogs and puppies. I work at the shelter Thursdays and Fridays. I am available other days of the week on a part-time basis. I don’t have preferred days in mind at this time. I will certainly follow all instructions provided and will treat your pet as my own while in my care. I will respect and properly care for your home environment.

Your loved ones will have the best time when they are with me. Frequent walking, playtime, and safety are my top priority when taking care of them. Of course, cuddles, food and comfy blankets/beds too! I enjoy training dogs with any kind of cool tricks. I’m currently working at home. I usually walk 3x during the day. Early morning, mid day and evening. Your furry friends will join me on my walks and have 30 mins individual play time x 2 during the day and before bed time.

Sunroom to keep them comfortable at all times when weather permits. When the weather gets too hot/cold, your furry bestie are going to warm up/cool off/play/rest in the basement. they are free to roam inside the house.
“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.”
“We had a great experience— super communicative and flexible, with lots of photos and check-in’s so that I knew that everything was going ok. I appreciate the effort that went into helping my Eddie feel comfortable and confident in the new space!”
About: Hello fellow fur parents! I'm Caitlin, I am a fur mama myself, not to just those I own, but to everyone else's pets but to also the strays. I know how it feels to have to leave your furbabies in someone else's care, especially to someone you never even met. It's worrisome and not a go-to situation. But I can put your mind at ease. I promise, your pet will be cared for and treated as if it were my own child too. I love all animals, no discrimination of species, breed, age, health problems, nothing. Caring for animals is what I love and do best. I love being able to give others the sense of relief knowing they left their animals in good hands and can enjoy their time away without having to worry. And to make you feel extra comfortable, I send videos and pictures along with detailed updates every couple of hours. So go on and take that weekend get-away, family vacation, road trip & know you left your babies with someone reliable and trustworthy. I have years of experience including professional. I also caretake in livestock with extra charge. With my current schedule, I am available in the late afternoons, evenings and nights, including overnight stays. I will only be away for the mornings until the late afternoon for work. Your furbaby will then have their entire afternoon to play outside to their hearts content, get some dinner, then enjoy their evening/nights getting all the lovins and relaxion until it's time to sleep. I have a dog of my own along with 2 cats. Your dog will have to be cat friendly to stay. No exceptions. I have large yard with plenty of space to run. It is not fenced but it is far from the road and any dangers. They will be attended to at all times, so they will always be safe.
“Melissa did an amazing job with my two boys! I could tell how much they loved spending time with her and her sister. The boys came home happy and well rested. She was very communicative and kind throughout the entire process and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding services! I am looking forward to re-booking in the future. Thank you again!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ottawa Hills
Lily and Jeremy were wonderful with Theo! This was my first time leaving him with sitters, and I was nervous about how he would get along with their dogs. Jeremy made sure they had a careful introduction and sent lots of pictures, which really put me at ease. I loved seeing Theo playing with their dog, Boov! They always responded promptly whenever I checked in. I’m so grateful for the care they gave Theo and would happily book with them again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ottawa Hills is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 268 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ottawa Hills. 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 Ottawa Hills 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 Ottawa Hills 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 Ottawa Hills.
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 Ottawa Hills 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.
