“Stacie and Doug took great care of Natty. They sent us a few pics and updates, and I could tell she felt right at home with their family and dog, Jane! We will definitely be booking again.”
“Katie is AMAZING!! From the moment I dropped my puppy off until I picked him up. She updated me sent me pictures and was very responsive. I booked her with short notice and also longer visit. I had to add a day and she accommodated it. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would she is great.”
“Abby had a great time at Tom & Tolley’s home. They have 2 sweet, gentle dogs that will get along with any dog. Tom sent pics and a video of Abby’s stay. Abby enjoyed the morning walk, fenced in yard and the family in the home. It was a great experience as this was my first time using Rover.”
“We were a little bit apprehensive about boarding our dog during our vacation as our dog had not previously stayed with anyone outside of family before, but he could not have been in better hands! Mike and his wife clearly care deeply for all the dogs within their care and treat those staying with them as an extended part of the family. We received regular updates about how our dog was doing and daily pictures! We would happily have him stay with them again.”
“Kyra is perfect for our dog Dakota “Koti”. Koti has stayed with her twice and loves her. I think the feeling is mutual! We never want to use anybody else.”
“Nicole is THE BEST!!! Our Golden Retriever Rocky loves when he gets to stay there when mom and dad go on vacation. She sends daily pics of him running around with her huskies and is always so attentive to any of Rocky’s needs and concerns. We just love her!”
“Jason was patient and thoughtful with our elderly dog. He made the accommodations we needed to meet his special needs. I was glad he was there for our dog while we were out of town!”
“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”
“I am so happy that we found Austin to take care of our sweet Snoopy. It is clear that he truly cares for and bonds with the dogs. He is also great with updates and responds quickly to questions. Snoopy will definitely be (happily!) returning for more visits.”
“Dana was great. She did everything we asked and communicated well. She walked our dog 3 times a day and sent plenty of pictures to let us know how she was doing throughout her stay. We also had some medicine that we needed applied and she did that as well. We are going on another trip in a few weeks and we are planning on using her again.”
“Archna was wonderful with our 2 Goldens. She sent updates, which eased our minds, and took very good care of them. She is very professional, and we would definitely use her again for care.”
“I am from out of town and was on a 1.5 week long road trip. I needed someone to watch my dog for the weekend while I went to a wedding. I was worried about finding someone who would actually give her the attention she needs as I have a very highly active dog. Angel was great, she had a cage and bed my dog was able to use and had another dog to play with. She sent lots of pictures and stayed in contact / answered any questions I had. She was also super flexible with time pick ups changing and providing medication/keeping an eye on a cut for my pupp. Highly recommend Angel to keep your pets safe and you worry free!”
“David was a wonderful sitter for my pups. He was so easy to communicate with and sent frequent updates and pics throughout the day. Highly recommend and will definitely use him the next time we need a sitter.”
“Eric and Polly did a wonderful job watching Riley while we were away! It gave us so much relief while we were on vacation. Riley seemed to enjoy the companionship of their dog. Also, thanks so much for the pictures!”
“Karin took great care of our anxious dog, Chester. He seems to have a great time and she took him for great walks. Chester came home happy and tired. Will definitely book with her again.”
“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!”
“I'm so happy I chose Swetha to watch Kodiak while I was on vacation. She sent multiple pictures a day, took care of his couple dietary needs, and took him on walks. I will absolutely reach out to Swetha the next time I travel and any time I need daycare.”
“Daniel and Rachel were great with our dog. They have a great house with a fenced yard. Rusty got along with their dogs. Daniel and Rachel constantly sent us pictures and videos so we were happy to see him all the time. We highly recommend Daniel and Rachel.”
“They watched our energetic dog and he had a great time! We got plenty of pictures/ updates, and Tove bought extra treats for my dog when I accidentally shorted him a few cups for his last day! It was such a relief knowing our dog was in great hands! Would definitely recommend booking them for your needs”

As a first timer with Rover, Brina's care for my pup ensured that I will book again! From the initial communication, to the meet and greet, to all the pics /updates, Brina is the best! Oreo had a great time with her and her dog Knox, and I look forward to working with her again!
Takia was amazing with my 8-month-old puppy! She’s very rambunctious, but Takia was so patient with her and even reinforced her training while I was away. She went above and beyond by replacing her harness when it broke and kept me updated throughout my trip with great communication and transparency. Her dog, Grayson, is so friendly and gave my puppy a great playmate while I was gone. The biggest testament to Takia’s care is that my puppy came home happy and has been so well-behaved since returning. I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Takia again and highly recommend her!
Travis was great with my dogs. Our Flight back was delayed. He was very understanding of the situation and thoughtful. My dogs seemed to have had a great time with him, they were great spirts and excited when I arrived. This is my second time using Travis and I will definitely use him again.
Lana was absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for Lucky. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and very easy to communicate with. She regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to see that Lucky was comfortable, happy, and being well cared for throughout his stay. It was clear that Lana treated Lucky with a lot of affection, patience, and attention. Leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring. When I picked Lucky up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m truly grateful for everything she did and would not hesitate to leave Lucky with her again in the future. I highly recommend Lana to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucky!
Another wonderful stay for my pups. This was the first longer stay for my pup, Teddy and he can be nervous with new people. Seeing pictures of him playing with the other pups and cuddling with Susan and Jason made me so happy. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for my two dogs.
Our pup Charlie was in great hands with Alyssa and her crew for the last 10 days. From the start, Alyssa was responsive, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She shared frequent updates, photos, and videos, which gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious Charlie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime, and he looked happy and well cared for throughout his stay. We came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and we’re so grateful for the care he received. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Charlie with Alyssa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog.
she always does such a great job and is so amazing about keeping you in the loop and updated, i was away for about 11 days and i have a puppy and a senior pup and her and Colt (her pup) were such amazing sitters and were so great with both of my pups for the long stay 🐾 🦴 💜

The average cost for Pet Boarding in University Heights on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 852 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in University Heights. About 93% of University Heights 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. 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.
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.
