“Nicole took great care of my dog while I was out of town. My dog had a great time while she was there and Nicole consistently kept me updated with lots of pictures. Nicole was very friendly and was great with communication. I will 100% be bringing my dog back in the future and I would recommend her to anyone who needs their dog taken care of.”
“Daisy and her husband both seemed very kind as well as knowledgeable about dogs. They took the time in the meet and greet to make sure their dog and my dog would get along well. I got frequent picture and video updates. I really felt like my dog was in great hands, and that gave me peace of mind on my trip. I will definitely use Daisy again!”
“My dog settles right in with Tami! It is so important to feel like your fur baby is getting the best of care in a boarding experience, and that is what you will get with Tami.”
“Great communication and peaceful experience. George was obviously cared for with premium attention. Kris is very sweet and easy to talk to! We've booked our pup to go back again and again bc he made great friends with Baloo!”
“Angel has always taken excellent care of our pups, and has gone above and beyond with making sure they’re well taken care of, safe, fed, and happy! We trust Angel and can’t thank her enough for all her great work!”
“What a nice family! Kristi and her husband have been so great. The facilities are clean, and I feel very comfortable leaving my boys in their care. Will definitely call 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!”
“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Ezgi B. did such a great job watching my dog, Queenie. She checked in with me via text to let me know how well Queenie was doing and how much fun she was having. Ezgi also sent videos and pictures of Queenie playing and relaxing. When I picked Queenie up, she was so happy and playful. I'm so glad my dog was comfortable and safe under Ezgi's care. We will definitely be back!”
“We were very pleased with Amber. She was very attentive to Bubba. Her girls made bowties for him. Amber sent lots of pictures which set me at ease. Looking forward to many more stays.”
“I can not recommend Karen more than enough. She took care of my two dogs for an overnight stay and they were well taken care of. They came back tired and relaxed and you could tell they had the time of their lives. She integrates your dogs into her pack and makes sure everyone gets along. She sends tons of pictures so you always know what your pups are up too. She responds quickly and put a lot of my fears about leaving my dogs with a stranger at ease. I immediately felt comfortable with her after our meet and greet and the dogs love her too. The dogs can’t wait to go back!!”
“Nate and Whitney did an amazing job watching Mac! They sent many updates and pictures of how Mac was doing while he stayed with them. When I picked him up the next day he was exhausted so it is safe to say he had a blast staying with them. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“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!”
“Jeanie worked out great! We had to switch our sitter for Linus last minute and am so happy she was available. Great communication and no issues. Seemed like she had a really great time with our pup! Would reccomend.”
“This was a great experience. Tina went out of her way for my dog, who isn't used to being away from me. She gave me lots of updates and even sent photos. I will definitely hire her again.”
“I've never used Rover before but when I needed a last minute sitter, Ashley was super responsive and willing to take in my pups on short notice. I wasn't sure how my pups would behave because I haven't used many sitters in the past, and Ashley was very good about acclimating my pups to her dogs and the new environment. Her picture updates were great, and when my husband and son picked up our pups, they noted how attached to Ashley they were. She created a pack environment within a very short time. We would definitely book Ashley again.”

Nicole was amazing! She sent pictures of Maggie and updates everyday, I loved it! I loved that she had a fenced backyard and doggy door for Maggie. Nicole took really good care of Maggie and I didn't have to worry about her while I was out of town :) I definitely recommend Nicole she is so nice and easy going, Im glad I found her on Rover!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Urbana on Rover is $32.19 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 358 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.
98% 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.
