“Kyle and Lauren lovingly cared for our elderly but still active Irish Setter, Maggie, including administering a couple medications that our sweet old girl needs. They treated Maggie like part of the family and they put our minds at ease. We are so happy to have found such a special dog-loving couple to care for Maggie when we are traveling.”
“Kaitlyn took wonderful care of Kaya while we were away on a weekend trip. She sent lots of pictures and updates and we were so glad to have the peace of mind that she was safe and happy while we were away. :) Thanks again, Kaitlynn!”
“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.”
“Pam and Marshall have watched Xaden a few times, most recently for 2 weeks and he’s loved it! He’s made a ton of new friends and is very well socialised with them! 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!”
“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!”
“Debra took great care of my Boston terrier Oliver. He had to be on antibiotics and a painkiller at the time and she administered the pills to him daily. I am truly grateful he loved playing with her two little dogs too.”

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.
“They are really nice, caring people and have the perfect setting to board. My Andrew was very well cared for and loved while I was gone. Would definitely use them again.”
“Cordelia was a great sitter for my cat Pandan for 6 days. She was very accommodating on our visit and flexible with drop off and pick ups. Based on all the photos she sent, he seemed like he enjoyed his time there. I would definitely book again.”
“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”
“Sarah was flexible on the scheduling and great to work with. Our dog Nellie was well cared for, and got a lot of play time in with Jasper. We will definitely have Sarah watch Nellie in the future. Sarah kept us updated with lots of pics which was great!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve regularly walked and pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, giving me experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or active playtime, I tailor each experience to suit your pet’s needs. I’ve had my cat for the past three years and have grown up around animals, so I’m very comfortable handling pets of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment! I’m reliable, caring, and happy to provide updates, photos, and lots of affection along the way! I’m currently a graduate student with more availability during the weekend. I’m flexible during the week since I make my own schedule. Just let me know. I have a friendly cat who’s comfortable around dogs. My home has a backyard, and I live near parks—perfect for walks, playtime, and a calm, pet-friendly environment.

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!
Kyle and Lauren lovingly cared for our elderly but still active Irish Setter, Maggie, including administering a couple medications that our sweet old girl needs. They treated Maggie like part of the family and they put our minds at ease. We are so happy to have found such a special dog-loving couple to care for Maggie when we are traveling.
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.
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.
