“Nicole is an amazing dog sitter! My dog, Shadow, is a very shy girl who sometimes can take some time to warm up to new people. Nicole was extremely accommodating in making sure Shadow was comfortable with herself and her dogs and Shadow had a blast staying with Nicole!”
“This was Bubba's first stay with someone other than family. Daisy made this whole experience great. Bubba seemed happy and really enjoyed hanging out with Bryna. I was put at ease with pictures and videos sent. Will be using Daisy and family for all our sitter needs in the future. Thanks again Daisy!”
“Kris takes wonderful care of my dog, Scout. I get daily pictures and updates. Her home is lovely and has a large back yard. Scout loves to visit and play frisbee with Kris and her dog, Baloo.”
“Kristi always does a fantastic job! We needed her on a short notice and she is always willing to help out! Our boy always leaves just as happy as we left him! You can tell she really cares for our fur babies as much as her own!”
“Amber was so easy to work with. I requested an appointment the day before I needed to have my dog watched for the weekend and she very kindly accepted. I ended up cancelling because my last minute trip also got cancelled, but Amber was very understanding. I will definitely keep her in mind for future dog sitting opportunities.”
“The BEST pet sitter in the area! I’ve used several sitters and interviewed several more - without a doubt, her family treated my girl as one of their own! I had picks sent during her stay, and constant communication that shows she loves what she does ❤️. I even got a progress report and jump drive of videos and picks of her stay. My go to from now on! Thank you and I will be using you again, and again, and again 😍😊”
“Harley had a great time and will definitely be coming back to see Claudia! First time using Rover to board my own dog, and I felt at ease the whole trip. I received lots of pictures. She took Harley on a walk and I got videos of her running around the yard having a blast. She even sent Harley home with a goodie bag! Highly recommend!”

“Tami, is truly 1 of the Sweetest soul's I've ever met. She loves our dogs like her own, treasures their needs and keeps them Safe above all. I'm knew to all this Pet sitting stuff, and very very nervous about trusting Anyone, my 4mo old Rottweiler pup, has been watched before, but after finding Tami, I won't take my baby girl, any where else from now on. Thank you Tami for everything...”
“Emily was fantastic with our dogs! She was so organized, kept us updated on the boys, and her set up for them was phenomenal. It gave us such peace of mind that they were safe, well cared for, and happy. I did not have a single worry when they were with her and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thanks Emily!”
“I highly recommend Jessica! It was obvious she is a ‘dog whisperer’, gentle soul, who will make your dog feel like they are at home! She sent daily photos, videos, updates, gave my dog her monthly & quarterly medication, provided her a comfy crate to sleep in, and a kiddy pool filled with strawberries! And there’s 3 dog friends to bond with! My fur baby had a loving spa experience! Book with Jessica!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Urbana on Rover is $32.19 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 364 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Urbana. 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.
97% of Urbana 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 Urbana 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 Urbana 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 Urbana.
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 Urbana 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.
