“Kathy clearly loves dogs and is very careful to make sure she knows all the needs of your pup before you leave. She sent updates and photos that eased my worry about leaving my dog with a new sitter. Frances came home happy and tired! :)”
“I had Ron watch my 2 small dogs. My one dog is very scared and doesn’t like to go for walks. He has a fenced in backyard that was perfect for my dogs. He was also very calm with my dogs which helped my scared dog feel comfortable. He is flexible with times and communicates timely. He had a big dog bed and some toys and treats in his home.”
“First time utilizing Kyle’s services for my 2 miniature shitzhus and it was absolutely amazing. It’s the first time I had to use this kind of service and honestly, it’s been nothing short of exceptional. Kyle provided videos throughout the evening so I could feel comfortable with the whole process - it was nice to notice my dogs having fun with another dog Kyle was doggy sitting. Communication was very smooth. I highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing his services again.”
“Had a wonderful experience with Amanda! I was able to do a meet and greet to make sure our dogs got along which gave me a lot of peace of mind before dropping my dog off for the night. I got a ton of pictures for updates and her entire family made my dog feel so loved and safe. Will definitely be using this sitter again!!”
“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”
“Shannon did such a great job caring for Cinna. She took her for walks, gave me frequent updates & lots of pictures, and gave Cinna lots of love & attention! She also has a nice big fenced in backyard and two sweet pups of her own that Cinna could play with all weekend. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“LeAndra was very communicative throughout the trip and took the time to share pictures and updates that put our mind at ease. She walked Hermione and made sure she felt loved even through the 4th of July fireworks. Would absolutely book again.”
“What a wonderfully perfect solution for my very inconvenient problem. She was so great with Kobe and was in constant contact, which is great! I needed help in a bind and Cordelia came through in a huge way! Thanks so much for keeping an eye on my best friend.”
“Takia was very responsive and kind! We received daily updates of our pups and we were able to see that they were being treated very well. We had a hiccup with their pills but it was handled professionally and quickly. We would definitely recommend her and book again with her 💗”
“I was so happy Mike and his wife agreed to watch Romeo so I didn’t have to board him! He seemed to have a great time and was very well cared for. Highly recommend Mike and his wife.”
“They helped me out TONS by watching my Shih Tzu for about 6 days. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Everything went smooth and they were flexible on drop off & pickup times since we drove all day. My dog seemed extremely comfortable @ pickup and we got several pics throughout the week! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Tina & Rick did an AMAZING job with our Colby! They provided great pictures and sweet updates and we can tell that Colby had a very caring and relaxing stay! We’ve already booked time with them again for our upcoming travels 😊 Thank you both!”
About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“The best sitters my little big boy has had by far!!!! They took such good care of baby boy. They administered his meds and showered him with love. He came back happy, healthy. and his BEST self. I can’t thank them enough. See you soon”
“Cheryl was wonderful with our high energy and anxious dog! She was so patient and after the first day it was clear he felt comfortable with her. She was very communicative and took beautiful pictures! Our dog has epilepsy and she was very responsible in giving his medication and in handling a seizure while in her care. We would definitely use her again!”
“Gracias Julien por cuidar de Ashley, ella se ve feliz!! Buena comunicación pero nunca recibí una fotografía de mi perrita en los 4 días que estuvo contigo, puede ser algo en el sistema…en general muy bien cuidada, Ashley está feliz.”

Kyle and Lauren were truly AMAZING. When I met them, I instantly felt welcome in their home, They're the kind of people you feel a connection with moments after meeting them. When I viewed the pictures and watched the videos that they sent of Jadori, it looked like she was on vacation. I can go on and on about Kyle's and Lauren's hospitality, but what was powerful is that when I picked up Jadori, instead of following me to the car, she started following Kyle back into the house. While I know Jadori loves me and loves home, It was like when you go on vacation, you're having so much fun, that you don't want it to end. I will not hesitate to board with Kyle again in the future. Thank you so much for taking care of my girl.
Tove & Gerald did an excellent job caring for our sweet girl while we were able to focus on being present at our wedding without having any concerns about how our dog was doing during it. They were very flexible and understanding and generously included a meet and greet for us before booking to ensure they were a good fit. We are so happy that we have someone close by that we can trust our girl with - and are very thankful for them!

Austin took great care of Jojo while we were out of town for a week. He gave us daily updates along with pictures which we really enjoyed. Jojo came home happy and tired out - he even ran up to Austin in the driveway to hug him goodbye (it’s a poodle thing😊). Austin is now our go-to sitter!
Our dog was taken care of so great by Lisa! I felt at ease leaving our dog with her. Lisa is so friendly and so kind to animals. Dug was able to warm up to her quickly while it was his first time with her. We got pictures and updates that made us feel relieved he was doing ok while we were gone. I will book with her again. 😃
Our pup Charlie was in great hands with Alyssa and her crew for the last 10 days. From the start, Alyssa was responsive, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She shared frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious Charlie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and he looked happy and well cared for throughout his stay. We came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and we’re so grateful for the care he received. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Charlie with Alyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Richmond Heights is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $48 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 782 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Richmond Heights. 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.
95% of sitters in Richmond Heights 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 Richmond Heights 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 Richmond Heights.
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 Richmond Heights 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.
