“Phillis and Mike did an amazing job. Always sending pictures and videos of our Ellie a 1 year old Golden Retriever. I would highly recommend them to anyone. We definitely will be back again. Thanks you very much”
“Rose appeared to be very calm when I picked her up. This was the first time that I had left her . I was very pleased with the communication and photos of her relaxing on the couch.”
“Tolley and Tom took great care of Repeat. The family treated Repeat as if he was one of their own dogs. They sent lots of pictures and updates to help ease our mind. We would definitely use them again.”
“David was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Louis! From start to finish, he was a great communicator — always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the stay. He sent tons of adorable pictures, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Louis looked so happy and well taken care of in every photo. It’s clear that David truly loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t recommend him more highly — I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Mariia was amazing with my dog for our weekend trip. She left multiple updates a day with videos and had so many toys/puzzles for her to enjoy. I also appreciate how she took the time to learn all about my dogs needs and quirks right away with her thoughtful questions. Thank you Mariia!”
“Michelle was a fantastic host for our dog. Our pup is an 80lb, 1.5yr old lab, with tons of energy, and Michelle handled her so well. Our dog had such a great time, got to play with other dogs, and got so much attention during her 10 day stay. Michelle also sent daily updates with photos and videos of our pup. We could not be any more pleased with Michelle’s services. She also offers day care services which we used prior to our stay to see if our dog was a good fit, and she was! Will DEFINITELY use her again!”
“Julie is amazing! From start to finish, she was quick to respond, provided many updates, photos and videos, and was so friendly, kind and professional. She and her family had a ton of patience for my boston terrier Lily, who is obsessed with playing tug of war and fetch. I never once worried about Lily. Julie was also very accommodating for my last minute request for a sitter, and I really appreciated that!! Don't hesitate to book her services! I definitely will again!”
“Lucy had such a wonderful stay with Jenni!! Jenni is so kind, caring, and accommodating. She provided a warm and cozy home and lots of extra attention. Jenni provided daily pictures of activities and walks. We could tell Lucy was well cared for. We are grateful to have found Jenni and to have had a happy place for Lucy to be while we were away!”
“Christiana was great! Our two dogs seemed to enjoy their time there & especially loved being able to run around in the backyard! She sent us pictures and updates throughout and was very responsive when I checked in with her!”
“Olesja is an excellent dog sitter. Our pups loved being there. Olesjas family and her pets made our fur babies super comfortable. She was very thorough and very prepared to watch our 4 month old puppy who is still undergoing potty training. She followed his tight schedule and kept up with his needs. Our older pup bonded really well with her dogs that appeared very friendly and welcoming to him! She kept us updated with pictures and videos just enough to keep us from worrying. We cannot recommend Olesja enough and we would definitely be working with her in the future too.”
“Thomas was absolutely amazing! He gave fantastic updates and sent lots of photos of our sweet pup while we were away. He obviously cares, and has great attention to detail. Our dog came back happy and well adjusted. We will definitely be using him again in the future!”
“Great experience! He watched him a little later since I was held up in traffic on the way back from Tennesse. My dog came home happy, with a bow on his collar, and a present! They had great communication and I couldn’t be happier with them! I will use them again when needed.”
“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.”
“Desire was a fantastic sitter for my dog Cinna! She checked in multiple times each day with pictures & videos. She responded almost immediately every time we talked. She was incredibly helpful & friendly & made my time away even more enjoyable knowing Cinna was being cared for so well.”

We had such a great experience with Kate! This was our first time using her to care for our dog, and she made us feel completely at ease from the start. She was friendly, responsive, and communicative, and we felt confident knowing our dog was in good hands. We would definitely recommend her and will happily use her again!
Rachel is super attentive and quite the amazing sitter. We know she cares for our dog as she would if he were her own, which is sadly hard to find. Bodhi had a great overnight with her and he’s ready to come back when we take our family vacation in a few months. Thank you again!
Cynthia and her boyfriend were so wonderful!! We have two dogs, and we wanted a home without other pets. We drove an extra long distance as Cynthia seemed like a great fit, and she absolutely was!! We were so relieved that the pets looked so happy and calm when we picked them up. Cynthia’s place is so cozy and clean, and the pets truly looked like they were the ones that went on a vacation! We will be happy to request Cynthia again as our top choice rover host!
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!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Rocky River on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 741 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.
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.

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.
