“We are so lucky to have found Dian! She is excellent with the dogs and they are always so excited to see her. Her yard is fenced in and the dogs can run and play as much as they want. We had a few “get to know you” play dates prior to overnight boarding. Now the dogs call her “Grandma Dian.” You will love her too!”

“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!🩷”

“Katelyn and Andria took incredible care of my two boys, Leebo and Blaze. While Leebo is an energetic Golden that wants to be in everyone's face, Blaze is a bit more shy. They helped Blaze warm up and based on the amazing pictures they sent during the stay, Blaze felt right at home. The comfort of being able to go away on a trip and have peace of mind that the boys are in good hands means the world to us. Thank you for taking such good care of them!”


“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.”

“Lexi was wonderful. She really seemed to enjoy my dog, a boxer. She sent me a lot of pics suggesting he was having a fine time at his sleep over. I immediately felt at ease with leaving him there. I’ll use her again if she is available. When we got him his stools were normal (they aren’t when he is stressed) and he hadn’t lost weight (does when he is stressed). He was fine.”

“What a great Country farm! Who knew we had a farm dog lol. Thanks Addie did great and Madi was so kind. She followed directions and did what Addie needed during her recovery. Thanks.”

“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!”

“After we had a meet and greet Lelo was excited to come back and stay for the week. Bridget and her family made Lelo feel at home and loved. Bridget has a large room, where the dogs are free to play. Plenty of water and toys. Lelo can't wait to come back and hang out with her boys.”

About: Our Goldendoodle pup Laska has helped fill the void of recent loss in our lives. She fills our heart with joy and is the talk and walk of the neighborhood! I help our friends with their 4 dogs when needed as well. Just like our friends I would prefer to board our sweet girl in a home atmosphere. I want to help those that prefer the same. I have dearly loved a Springer Spaniel, two black labs, German Short hair pointer and Shihtzu over the last 30 years. Let me know if you have any questions. I am a full time RN and work day shift Monday- Thursday. Home visits after 530pm during the work week and more open availability Friday-Sunday. If a home visit doesn't work for you, we do have a vinyl fence in our backyard. We can work together on deciding what is best for your pooch.
“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!!”

“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”


“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.”


“We never leave Marley - but after a successful meet and greet we were 100% comfortable leaving him with Jennifer! We got pictures and messages during Marley's stay that reassured us even more. We are so happy to have found Jennifer and will be booking another stay for Marley next time!”

“I cannot recommend Ralph highly enough! From the moment we first met, it was clear that he has a genuine love for animals and an incredible ability to connect with him. Leaving my dog, Butters, in someone else’s care is never easy, but Ralph made the process completely stress-free and gave me total peace of mind. Throughout the entire stay, Ralph went above and beyond to ensure that Butters was happy, healthy, and loved. He kept me updated with regular photos, videos, and messages, which made me feel like I was still part of my pup’s day-to-day life. It was so heartwarming to see Butters smiling, playing, and clearly having the time of his life! When I returned, I could tell that Butters had been so well cared for—He was happy, relaxed, and clearly adored their time with Ralph. It was as if Butters had gone on a doggie retreat. I honestly think my dog misses him already! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and truly passionate about what they do, look no further than Ralph. He is a gem, and I feel so lucky to have found him. Thank you, Ralph, for treating Butters like your own and for giving me the confidence to leave my furry family member in your care. You are the best! 10/10, would absolutely book again!”

“I was a first time boarder and very worried about my rescue, very spoiled bichon poo, that only likes me. I took a chance on Annie and she was perfect! She was so patient with our boy. She sent me videos and photos during the 9 days and even made up the fresh chicken, kibble combo he eats. He loved her dog Cooper and I think really missed him when we got home. I will definitely be calling Annie 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.
“I had a family emergency, and had to leave quickly. My cat Gayle is 20 1/2 years old, and I was nervous about leaving her, but knew she couldn't make a long trip in a car. I found Rover, and started reading about the pet sitters. When I read about Saida, I prayed she would be able to sit for Gayle, as I was going to be gone for 6 weeks. Saida made a spot just for Gayle in her home. I was truly impressed with how much she did for Gayle, who doesn't use a litter box, but only uses puppy pads and is on two medications. Saida treated Gayle as if she were her cat. I would definately ask Saida to watch Gayle again without any hesitation.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sandusky
Lacey is a "velcro" doggy and has never been left with anyone. Dian was so nice when we met her, and I could tell how she loved dogs. I tried not to worry if Lacey was too distraught and fearful, but Dian sent me a picture of Lacey in herl little bed, looking quite content, also let me know it was going well. I finally relaxed and enjoyed the rest of my trip. What a find she is....she is wonderful!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Sandusky on Rover is $39.96 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 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 September 2026, there are 125 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.
