“Alycia went above and beyond when watching Murphy! She's an incredibly warm and lovely person who was extremely accommodating for my pet. I hope to have her watch Murphy again in the future!”
“I boarded my sweet 9mo Cavalier puppy with Tricia for a weekend, and it was obvious she had the best time! Daisie looked so happy in each picture Tricia sent and was the sleepiest I’ve ever seen when I picked her up. She had a blast! It was Daisie’s first boarding so I was nervous how she would do, but it all went great. And I appreciated how accommodating Tricia was to my somewhat last minute booking and changing meet/pickup times. It gave me such peace of mind on my trip to know Daisie was being so well cared for. Will be booking again!”
“Susan was great! I would definitely use her again in the future. My dog seemed happy to be there the whole time and enjoyed hanging out with her dog. She sent updates and pictures everyday and handled his fear of thunderstorms with no issues. Thanks again!”
“I would recommend Stephanie and family! Stephanie provided day to day updates to keep me informed of Georgia's comfort level. While she has been timid around new people in the past, Georgia adapted well with this family. Thank you!”
“Katie did such a great job watching Reggie while my husband and I were out of town for a few days! We received plenty of updates and could tell he was well taken care of when we picked him up. Will definitely be using Katie again!”
“Our dog has stayed with Elisheba and her family multiple times. We greatly appreciate their care and attention. She sends us daily updates while she is with them.”
“Amazing family who took the best care of our 1.5yo dog! Felt so good about leaving our girl in their hands (and paws!) :) our Luna loved playing with sweet Murphy!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Holly sent pictures and updates of how Jaxson was doing. She was super easy to coordinate a meet and greet ahead of time so Jaxson and her dog could meet also. I'm sure Jaxson and Millie had a great time running around their fenced yard together. Highly recommend!”
“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”
“What a great hostess. We knew Elfie was in good hands the moment we dropped her off. Appreciated the images while we were away. Plus, I made a mistake with my booking and Ainura showed me a lot of grace and understanding. Highly recommend.”
“Very nice and responded back very quickly to my text messages! Sent pictures of my fur baby to let me know she was ok. We would definitely use Diane again! Thank you”
“Megan was awesome! She was flexible with our schedule and we loved that she was always responsive. Megan and her son gave our cat a lot of attention, care, and cuddles while we were gone and we definitely recommend her!”
“Katie was outstanding! I know our Bowie had the time of his life staying with Katie, her husband Nick and their 15 month old Winnie! We really hit the Jackpot with choosing Katie to watch Bowie!”
“Dana and Jason were great! I appreciate the photos and communication. My pups seem very happy! I think they miss them now that they are home. First time using rover and I will definitely be booking with Dana and Jason again! Thank you!”
“Our pup Onyx loves staying with Taylor and Brian! Onyx gets along great with their two dogs and plays all day with them. Taylor and Brian do a great job being attentive and caring to Onyx. They send us the cutest photos and updates. Taylor and Brian are very kind and good-hearted people, we feel lucky to have found them to care for Onyx. We are repeat customers for a reason!”
“Wonderful family! Ben, Kelle, and their kids were just amazing and welcomed Bella into their family while we were traveling. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her.”
About: I have had dogs for all 22 years of my life and would love to help take care of yours! I have experience and am more than comfortable taking care of large dogs, puppies, older dogs and every kind in between. I know how important pets are to us and I would love your furry friend like my own! When with your pet I would love to take them on walks, to dog parks, play fetch, or just hang out on the couch. Anything you already do with them to make them (and you) feel most comfortable. I am a flexible college student who is available for drop-ins to walk your dog, can accept last minute bookings, and anything else you may need. Being a flexible college student, I only have classes 2 days a week and am home or in the area 24/7. I love going on long walks and would love for your pet to join. Where I live also has a small dog park if your animal gets along well with others. I love watching TV/movies at home and your pet to be snuggled up with me. I am also always down for a tug of war, fetch, session, or walk!
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Sherwood is $40
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Sherwood
Ares feels at home with Andrea and is always treated like part of the family. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and caring hands while we’re away. We also really appreciate all the updates and photos throughout his stay. We couldn’t recommend Andrea more!
My husky had an amazing time with Tricia. Im very particular about who i leave him with so i was a little nervous going on rover and choosing someone to watch him that isn’t family or a close friend but she did an amazing job sending pictures and updates the whole time she had him which made me feel so much better about being away from him. It was like he was on his own mini vacation getting sooo spoiled!
Finding someone to watch my dog was the most stressful part of planning my vacation. Brooke made it all incredibly easy and stress free. She updated me throughout my trip with pictures and worked with me when I was late to pick up due to travel issues. I will absolutely use Brooke for any future trips.
Bri was wonderful for our girl, Olive! She did a meet-and-greet before our trip to make sure Olive was comfortable with her and with Layla, which was really helpful. Bri kept me updated and sent pictures while we were gone. Olive is a bit of a nervous dog, but she did great with Bri. And Layla was super, super sweet with her. We will definitely be booking with her again!!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Sherwood is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $47 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 of November 2026, there are 801 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Sherwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Sherwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Sherwood 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 Sherwood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sherwood. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Sherwood 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
