“Mary took great care of Duke! She was lovely to speak with, sent adorable updates, and asked thoughtful questions about his care. Duke warmed up to her immediately and had a great time at her home. We would love for Mary to watch Duke again!”
“Lynn is the best Rover we ever had. She plays games with her dogs and makes sure to find the best way to get our picky eater to eat. Our dog is very comfortable at her house because she is treated like Lynn's dogs and she fits in with her pack. We get daily updates with pictures and videos and we never have to worry about our dog while we are away.”
“My chocolate Lab Bruno sprints from my car to her door every time I drop him off there. Needless to say he loves staying with Jenni and her family,and we have the peace of mind knowing he is loved and well taken care of.”
“She did a great job and my usually very shy and scared cat warmed up to Stephanie and her family fairly quickly! I have nothing but good things to say about her. Also, she was very flexible on the pick up time and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Highly recommend to use her for your animal sitting needs!”
“From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I currently have a small Havapoo, but have had big dogs, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs. I have experience with training, as well as administering medicine if need be. When I first moved away from my family, I was so nervous to try to find care for my pup while I was away! I am so thankful I have had amazing experiences with Rover, and I’m excited for the opportunity to give others an amazing experience, especially those who may be a little weary and nervous like I was at first! I work from home Monday - Friday, and have flexibility on the weekends so your pup will be in great hands with round the clock care! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly Havapoo that is dying to keep your fur baby company! If staying in my home, I will absolutely follow any special instructions or needs for your dog to make them feel right at home and keep them in their routine. For clients home, I will always make sure I leave the home the way I found it, and of course keep your fur baby in their routine!
“We are so happy we found Sarah and Tobi. Our little Nicolás was so happy with them and quickly adjusted to his stay. Sarah was extremely helpful, understanding and responsible. She treated our baby as if it was hers. Highly recommended! We will book another stay with her for sure! Thank you Sarah!! The Ocasio Wagner Family.”
About: I was four years old when I began training our family dog. I was home alone for a few hours and crafted a special bond with our purebred Rottweiler named Zeus. Sometimes I get along better with animals than people, probably because my family has always bred dogs and treated them as part of the family. My parents helped me train our multiple dogs as the years went by and the most important lesson I learned was patience and consistency. I will treat your pet as a member of my family! I have a park a block away from my apartment and I love finding creative ways to entertain and teach animals. I can't wait to be a part time parent to your animal! I am very flexible so please don't hesitate to tell me your needs, even if they seem strange! I exercise my pets everyday and ensure they are training consistently. I currently have a flexible schedule so we can work on your needs and scheduling. My home is puppy proof, along with a gate I use to separate the upstairs from downstairs so my cat can have some peace and quiet lol
“Thomas was great. Our pup had such a great time and he treated him like family. Super responsive and accommodating and sent lots of photos. Will definitely bool Thomas again!”
“Robert watched Mia at his house overnight for a few nights. He has a great fenced in backyard, perfect for our pup to run and stretch her legs. Mia came back happy and tired out from her running vacation ? We would definitely use Robert again!”
“Leslie is amazing. She takes great care of our fur babies and always does a little extra that helps us know things will be fine while we are gone (water plants, bring in mail, etc).”
“I recently booked Kate on Rover.com to watch my dog, Herbie, and she was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, Herbie felt right at home with her. Kate clearly has a natural way with dogs, providing so much love and attention that Herbie didn’t even want to come home with me at the end of his stay! Kate kept me updated with plenty of messages and photos, so I always felt reassured that Herbie was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pup like their own, but Kate truly goes above and beyond. I wholeheartedly give her 5 out of 5 stars and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated”
“My pups were very happy and healthy when I picked them up and incredibly tired from playing in Keeley’s yard! Incredibly grateful that they were in such good hands while we were out of town!”
About: Hi! I’m Erica. I work from home, so your pet won’t be sitting alone all day while you’re away. Whether they need walks, playtime, couch time, or just someone around, I’ll be there to keep them company. I’m reliable, easygoing, and a big animal lover. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, and I know how important it is to find someone you feel comfortable leaving them with. I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own, stick to their routine, and send plenty of photos and updates along the way. I know leaving a pet can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident they’re in good hands. I work from home full time, so my schedule is pretty pet friendly. Whether your pet is staying with me, needs a drop in visit, a walk, or overnight care, I have flexibility throughout the day and can usually work around their normal routine. Since I’m home most of the time, pets staying with me get plenty of attention, company, and potty breaks instead of being left alone all day. My evenings and weekends are also wide open, which gives me even more time to spend with them. I take pet care seriously and know that trust is a huge part of leaving your pet with someone new. I always follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, walk preferences, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable and secure. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets staying with me throughout the day instead of leaving them alone for long periods. I pay attention to the little things, like changes in appetite, energy levels, or behavior, and I’ll always reach out if something seems off. I want pets to feel safe, relaxed, and at home while they’re with me. Whether they need extra exercise, extra patience, or just someone nearby while they nap, I’ll do my best to make sure they’re comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being well cared for.
“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”
“Great communication, sent me pictures and updates. My dog is still quite high energy and I've had less than stellar experiences at facilities. When I brought her home I could tell she'd been taken care of and was her regular self.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Rocky River is $45
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rocky River
Saymar was awesome! My Princess was so scared of her dog and didn’t want to stay. Within an hour or two, Saymar contacted me and sent me pics and our dogs getting along great. I was so relieved! She kept in contact and sent pics. She has such a beautiful personality! Also, when I picked Princess up, she was happy to see us, but she started barking at her new friends and ran back in the house. Great sign that she loved being there! I will definitely use her from here on out!
Rachel is such an amazing sitter! She was so careful and loving with Java. My doggo had an upset stomach for a couple of days and would not eat (as is sometimes the case when staying in new places) and Rachel did her very best to ensure that Java would still not go hungry, coaxing her with broth and her favorite veggie snacks with my consent until she was hungry enough to eat her kibble. I was so touched by that moment, and could tell that Java was definitely in good hands. Rachel is incredible at communicating updates, questions, and needs/boundaries. I never felt confused or left in the dark. Additionally, I really appreciated the care that she took to ensure Java had a fun time with games and walks/adventures! Rachel's personality is as inviting as her lovely home, she is such a nice person! Reasonably priced stay for top-notch care! Will definitely book again.

It’s rare to find someone who treats your pup like their own, but Kate truly goes above and beyond. I wholeheartedly give her 5 out of 5 stars and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated
Joyce is truly just the best! she constantly goes above and beyond for the dogs she watches. our dog henry came down with some tummy issues leading up to the weekend she was boarding him and she reorganized her plans to make sure that she would be able to be home with henry when he wasn’t feeling good. she administered medication & accommodated special meals for him. we always feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Joyce and could not be more grateful for her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Rocky River on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 763 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rocky River. About 93% 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.

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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
