“Austin took SUCH wonderful care of my dog, Kalliopi! She is a 4-month old rescue, so she is full of puppy energy and has some separation anxiety on top of that. Needless to say, I was incredibly nervous about leaving her for the first time. Austin made it clear from the very beginning how seriously he takes caring for the animals under his watch, and his two incredibly sweet dogs made wonderful buddies for my pup while I was away. He sent lots of updates throughout her time with him, which gave me even more peace of mind to know that she was doing well and in great hands. My dog loved Austin and had an amazing experience with him, and I really can’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much!!”

We loved the sweet pictures she would send with updates & even the sweet journaling she did to capture every moment. We will absolutely be coming back to Flora in the future!!

“I had such a great experience with Dejuan! He made me feel comfortable from the beginning by allowing me to come over for a meet-and-greet before Kane’s stay. Throughout his time with Kane, he consistently sent pictures, videos, and updates without me even having to ask. I really appreciated his communication and attention to detail. Kane came home happy and well taken care of, which means everything to me! I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby!”

“There’s not enough superlatives to describe the job done by Tove and Gerald. From our first discussion to final pickup, they were attentive to our wishes and some of the special needs of our dogs. On top of just ensuring regular needs were met, they took our dogs on walks, taught them to use a doggy door, and provided us with photos/videos of the dogs while we were out of the country in order to provide us piece of mind. We cannot recommend Tove and Gerald enough!”

About: Will care for furbabies with feeding, walks, playtime, and treats. I have had my dog (lola) and cat (spice) for a couple years now and love them dearly, I am hoping to create space to care for your babies as well. I’m currently studying for my licensed social work exam and have time around my study schedule to care for your pets! I currently have open availability. Pet care will differ depending on what is requested by pet parent. I will care for your pets with walks, feedings, baths, nail clippings, cleaning litter boxes/picking up after dogs, etc. Open to short term boarding but prefer client home care/support.

About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Takia was great. Kerefa had tummy issues caused by her new food we started her on which Takia consulted a vet and resolved the issue by cooking rice & chicken. Kerefa seemed healthy and happy when she came home. Also, even though I was out of the country Takia kept communicating with us by texting & sending us pictures of Kerefa. Thank you again Takia we will definitely use your services anytime we need.

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.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - University Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in University Heights 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 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 848 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in University Heights. About 94% 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.
