About: I have been blessed to have pets my whole life! I’ve had 2 medium sized pups and a big pittie- Great Pyrenees mix! I have cared for little pups all the way up to older dogs’ last moments. I am currently a full time student at UC, so this is a way I can get some doggie snuggles in while making some money as well! I have done extensive training and certifications to work at shelters around the Cincy area. I am almost always home all day Friday-Sunday and get back from school in the afternoon Tuesday-Thursday. I am neighbors with my mom who works at home 24/7 so she would be able to check in on the pups if needed! I have taken care of dogs in and out of crates, free fed and scheduled meals, health issues, trained and untrained, etc. I love taking dogs to the dog park, walks and play dates! After an exhausting day Id love to snuggle up or relax with them outside!
“William & Haley were amazing! They took great care of Auri and sent great updates and pictures. Auri loved her time exploring the fenced-in back yard. Thank you!”
“Patrice did an excellent job taking care of my geriatric dog. Although my pet suffers from separation anxiety, Patrice’s handling of her was calming and comforting from the start. After pick up, she did not manifest restlessness, which is often a sign she does not connect with a person. We are thankful for Patrice’s caring touch and will be returning to her in the future. We highly recommend!”
“Chrissy is wonderful! My dogs enjoyed their first stay and we will be back for plenty more! Chrissy was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures during their stay. She's got the best set up for the dogs. Couldn't recommend her more!!”
“Shannon & her daughter Michaela were amazing sitters for my dog! Minnie got plenty of cuddles and playtime! Shannon was awesome and sent lots of pictures. Definitely recommend her to anyone!!”
“Annie comes back so very happy and calm and she is so well taken care of! She loved it at her home away from home! Thanks for being so loving and kind and for the pictures! We had a great time scrapbooking knowing Annie was in good hands.”
“I have been using Rover for many years and this was by far my best experience. Rachel sent daily messages along with pictures of our big guy Tyson. He felt a lot of love and care with her and her two dogs. I will definitely use her again.”
About: Hi! I don’t have any dogs currently- I put my last dog down about 1.5 years ago, but have been a dog lover all my life. I have experience with all ages and types of dogs but specialize in senior & reactive dogs. I do work full time- four days a week. I am off on Wednesdays and off on weekends. If I’m watching your pup, I’ll go home straight from work to get them out for a walk! I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home for your pets while you’re away! I love taking dogs on walks and, when appropriate, car rides for a little extra adventure. I’ll treat your pets like family, giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care. My goal is to make your pets feel happy, comfortable, and right at home while giving you peace of mind!
“Alej was great! I was a little nervous with it being the first time my dog has officially stayed with a sitter but she made me feel at ease. I loved the updates and pics while I was away! She was also very flexible and accommodating which I also appreciated. Will definitely book again!”
“Tricia was great with Edie. She was also very flexible and went above and beyond when our flight got delayed and we had to figure out additional care on the fly. Would recommend!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Reading is $40

Caleigh was so awesome with watching my pup Moon. She came recommended to me through a coworker and I’m so glad! I got thorough updates with lots of pictures daily. Moon seemed to have a blast and Caleigh treated her with the respect and care as if Moon was Caleigh’s pet. I can’t recommend her enough!
We were very satisfied with our dog's stay with Amanda, which we scheduled just a week before our trip. She is very experienced taking care of dogs, and her home is set up to put dogs at ease. Our dog is always a bit tentative with a new sitter, but quickly warmed up to Amanda. We appreciated Amanda's frequent photos and updates. We would be happy to have out dog stay with Amanda again.
Elisheba took great care of my two dogs! Usually my pups are timid when they first arrive at a new place, but as soon as we got to her house they were excited and started running around. Elisheba sent photo updates and was very communicative and responsive throughout the process.
We are not used to send our boy to a Pet sitter as we always travel with him. He tends to be very anxious (myself included) if he is not with us. This time we couldn't take Tedy with us and I had to find a pet sitter - I have to say that I couldn't be happier that I've found Johana - she is such a thoughtful, caring and always present pet sitter. She kept us updated with videos and pictures of our Tedy and she managed his anxiety just perfectly. I am glad I found her and we will be using her services in a future.
We were very happy with the level of care and communication that Taylor and Brian provided during Mellie's stay with them. They provided regular updates and pictures. It's clear that they love their dogs and that they extend that level of care to their guests. We would be extremely comfortable leaving Mellie with them in the future!
Siri was so amazing with my dog, Rooster (Roo)! She treated her just like her own and sent so many adorable pictures of them playing, snuggling, and running errands. She was also happy to keep Roo for an additional day when my flight was unexpectedly cancelled. I am so relieved to have found a wonderful local sitter and cannot recommend her enough!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Reading is $30 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $32 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 844 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Reading. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 Reading 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 Reading 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 Reading.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Reading. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Reading 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
