“Dian was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Daisy. 5 stars, if I could give her more I definitely would. She let me visit her when i wanted and immediately calmed my nerves. She’s so sweet and caring, just the type of person that you’d leave your dogs with. I highly recommend Dian, you will not be disappointed.”
“Kelsey took great care of my 2 dogs this week! (1 pitbull &1 frenchie) it was 5 nights , they played with them and kept them fed and happy the whole time and updated me randomly and also responded quickly if I had any questions about my babies!! She does have children which has previously been an anxiety point for my pit bull.. the kids were so friendly and patient and he played well with them all weekend! Overall really happy with the turnout and that he was able to play with children in a controlled environment! Will definitely use her if we go out of town again!🩷”
“Suzanne watched our dog for about 4 days and he really enjoyed his time there and playing with her dogs and in the backyard. She sent us a picture everyday so we could see what he's up too. We'd definitely use her again when we're in the area again.”
“We found Cynthia and Tim because their location was convenient for our activities around Ohio's Lake Erie islands, but we also found their home to be a great place for our pups to hang out. The pups got lake side walks in their safe and charming community. (We are considering making their Lakeside community a destination for ourselves.) We are grateful for Cynthia and Tim's flexibility in scheduling as well. We will definitely call them next time we're in the area!”
“I can’t say enough great things! They were so wonderful with Max from start to finish. I could tell they care deeply about all the pups safety, comfort, and wellbeing. Communication was excellent, lots of pics. Max got lots of playtime, lovin, and even got to stay on the bed. He’ll be back whenever we’re in town. Thank you again!”
“Madison is awesome. She made my baby (Sookie) feel comfortable. It has been 4 years since we took a vacation because of a bad experience with the sitter but Madison made us feel relieved and we were able to enjoy our vacation because we felt like Sookie was in good hands and safe. I highly recommend her and I trust her with our baby girl. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“Erin did a great job watching my 13 year old little old dog at her house while I was on vacation. I have my vacation booked for next year and I would definitely use her again for that! Her whole family absolutely adored him and took such great care of him. Thank you so much!!”
“Andrew was phenomenal with Roeby and extremely flexible with my plans. Since I was visiting Cedar Point from Chicago, I opted to bring her along for the drive, but obviously she couldn't come into the park. Port Clinton was on the way, so I booked Roeby's stay for two days with Andrew. Andrew took Roeby out for long walks, let her run in the sand (which she loves), played tug and fetch with her, and provided periodic updates. Now, as a summer park visit, the park is open late (10 PM in July), the park is extremely crowded during the day, and night rides are amazing, and we had a 2.5 hr weather delay that evening. Communicating with Andrew, he was flexible watching Roeby til a little after 11 PM, allowing me to catch night rides on Siren's Curse, Maverick, and SteVe. I highly recommend Andrew if you can't bring your pup along for the day. He was outstanding.”
“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”
“We are so thankful to have found Annie! Thank you for treating our pup like family. Our dog and their dog became great friends. Everything was very easy, great communication and sent lots of updates. i would highly recommend Annie to anyone! Thank you so much for everything. We are so lucky to have found you!”
“Sharon is so very kind and patient with the 4 legged babies. My dogs came home happy and tired. Her having a large, fenced in yard was awesome. I will definitely book Sharon again through Rover.”
“Rose was such a blessing! We’re from out of town and needed an unexpected sitter last minute and she was there to save the day! Sent updates throughout the day and took super good care of our old pup! Would absolutely recommend her care to anybody!”
“Ralph was great! He’s friendly and fun and you can tell he genuinely loves dogs. Howie spent 5 nights at his house. Ralph always kept us updated and sent lots photos all day every day. Howie was spoiled with a giant backyard, lots of cuddling, treats and other pups to play with. We will definitely use Ralph again!!”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life despite not being aloud to have any growing up. My parents just didn’t have the same love for animals as I did. Any chance I got I would go to friends houses or family’s houses and give their dogs love. It was very clear what my plan was after moving out of my mom’s house. Me and my now husband moved in together and very shortly after adopted our fur baby Luna!! Almost a year later we decided to add to the family and we got our other fur baby Salem. It’s been an amazing 3 years with Luna so far and 2.5 years with Salem!! After having them occasionally getting dog sat on rover for a few years now I realized I would love to be one of the awesome sitters to make your babies feel loved just like they are at home. While I feel as if I have more experience from being around other dogs my whole life I do think it’s only right to limit my experience to the years I’ve had with my own dogs. It is definitely different than just spending time with dogs. I also have decided to start with smaller dog breeds since I am currently pregnant and have a toddler. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your pups, even more time once my husband gets home from work everyday. Me and my toddler love getting outside for walks and would make sure to have your pup join us. I will be taking a long break from sitting once our new baby is here. I will arrange my schedule once that is happening. I’m so excited to meet new pups and help out other owners! As I mentioned before, I am a stay at home mom with an active toddler who loves going on walks. I also have 2 dogs who have an active schedule so the pet care routine is already part of my daily routine as is the walking. I can cater to your pup however I need to if they have different needs. While your pups are in my home I can provide them exercise with walks and play time with our 2 dogs. They are very active dogs and we do walks often because we do not have a closed in back yard yet. We do plan on putting up a temporary fence around our back patio. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and care as ours. My toddler is also very gentle with dogs of all sizes and if needed for older dogs we have child gates to create separate spaces. While yes, my husband and toddler are part of the household, I will be the sole caretaker of any dogs that I sit and that will not change. If it does change, my profile will be updated to a joint profile with my husband.

6 STARS!!!! So responsive with updates and pictures twice a day. My dogs were allowed to be comfortable roaming the house with no kennel… just like at home. I will definitely use them again when we return to Cedar Point. The dogs had a mini vacation with friendly other dogs. Extremely satisfied!!! Thank u for taking such wonderful care of my pups!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sandusky on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 128 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sandusky. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Sandusky sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Sandusky landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sandusky home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Sandusky.
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 Sandusky 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
