“I would give more stars if I could! Keith and Wendalyn took loving care of my darling Penny as if she were their own dog. Lots of fun walka, cuddle time, time outside. They also made sure Penny adhered to her somewhat strict diet but also got to enjoy some treats. Hoping to rebook with them for my next out-of-town trip!”

“Samantha was wonderful! So friendly, communicative, and clearly took great care of our dog, Finn. He’s 11 and can be a little finicky when staying somewhere new, and she even made him fresh eggs (his favorite breakfast topper) to encourage him to eat. She sent lots of photos, kept us updated, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. We’re so happy to have found a great local sitter and hope she can watch him again!”

About: I grew up with both a dog and a cat, so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets of different personalities and needs. I know how important daily walks are for a dog’s happiness and health, and I love spending time outdoors with furry friends—whether it’s a quick stroll around the block or a longer adventure. I’m also comfortable with drop-in visits, providing pets with fresh water, meals, playtime, and lots of love when their owners can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own- I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when you’re away!! I'm available in the Mon-Thurs evenings starting at 5:30 p.m. Fridays I am available after 12 pm and weekends are variable, so please message for availability! I can be flexible. I am happy to do walks and drop ins and can be flexible to whatever routine works best for your pet's care! I am available to do overnights at my home for smaller pets, so please message if interested.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years. As a neonatal nurse practitioner, providing attentive, compassionate care is part of who I am, and I bring that same level of responsibility and love to every pet I watch. I’m the proud owner of Kona, my friendly 9-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix, and I have two young children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“My experience with Patrice showed me that she genuinely loves dogs. She doesn’t just care for them; she truly cares about their well-being and understands their needs, especially when they’re hurting or vulnerable. I had an emergency and I reached out to several Rover sitters, but many declined because of the situation of my dog needing extra care and my request was a last minute. I reached out to several Rover sitters, but many declined because of my dog situation and last minute. I completely understood Patrice was very concerned, too. I really appreciated that she took the time to ask questions, make a call, and understand what had happened before deciding whether she could help. That was a sign to me that Patrice genuinely loves dogs and truly cares about their well-being. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting Patrice to accept my request because Mango needed extra care at that time. She took the necessary precautions and was willing to help me figure out what Mango needed while we were away. She gave me the comfort and peace of mind I desperately needed during such a difficult situation. Patrice would send me pictures of Mango, and it really gave me peace of mind to see her smiling and happy with Patrice and her family. When we picked up Mango from Patrice, I was so happy to see that Mango was back to her normal self, moving around happily and excited to see us again. I can’t tell you how relieved and grateful I felt! Thank you Patrice for being so kind, patient, and understanding, not only toward me but also toward Mango. You stepped in when I really needed help, and you made it possible for us to continue with our trip without the same fear and worry I had before. Thank you again, Patrice. I’m so grateful that we found you when we needed help the most.”

We could NOT have found a better sitter for our fussy little pittie. Rachel is the perfect person to handle our pup and she was so attentive and caring! She worked with him on manners (that he lacks) and took him on adventures and wore him out! The first day home, he slept ALL DAY! We were so impressed and hope she is available next time we need a sitter for our guy!

Catherine helped me so much with boarding Agnes. Agnes is a sweet, older cat and I had to be gone for quite a long time. But Catherine took good care of her making her feel safe, loved and cared for. Catherine sent pics and messages throughout my time away letting me know how Agnes was doing, which was so helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Catherine again.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Rocky River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Rocky River is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 730 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rocky River. About 92% of Rocky River sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
