This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!

Kim is always great with our little dog Winston. She provided walks, a large yard for him to run around in, and lots of pictures and updates. Winston loves being spoiled there.

Jacob was so great watching our dog Oliver. We booked him a little shorter notice than I normally do and he arranged a meet and greet right away. Jacob is friendly, easy going, and communicates well. I really felt comfortable leaving my dog with him!

Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!

DEE IS AN ANGEL! My mini poodle is an anxious/reactive dog so it’s hard to find people who are willing to watching him and understand his quirky behaviors. From the initial meet and greet, it was obvious how much Dee loves animals and dog sitting. I left my dog with her for 5 nights and couldn’t be happier with how comfortable he was with her. Dee provided multiple daily updates with pictures and videos, and she kept up with his 3 time a day feeding and his daily meds. It’s great to know that there is someone like Dee who will care for my baby like I would. Thank you so much!!!

Heather was absolutely amazing with our dog, Arlo, while we were out of state for a funeral. Leaving him was incredibly difficult for us because we had never left him before, but Heather gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. She reassured us many times before and during our trip, which meant so much during such a hard time. She sent multiple pictures every single day along with detailed updates, and it was clear Arlo was being treated like part of the family. Heather and her family took such wonderful care of him, and we could truly see how loved and comfortable he was while we were away. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Heather made a painful and stressful time so much easier for us, and we are beyond grateful we found her. We would give her 10 stars if we could and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and compassionate to watch their pet.

Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.

We are so grateful for Angela and Dave stepping in last minute to care for our pup during our two-night trip. Their responsiveness from the start made us feel at ease, and we really appreciated the regular photo updates showing our dog happy and comfortable. It was clear that our pup was well taken care of, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommended!

Sunshine and her loving family were3 the most amazing host for our young energetic dog, Zuka. She is a big dog and a lot to handle at age 1+. Sunshine is a pro and Zuka loved her time with her. We picked her up a week after dropping her off and she was happy, healthy and maybe it is my imagination... but she also seemed better on her lead! WOW! Above and beyond Sunshine!! Thank You! Thank You! We will always use you for overnights when we travel. D&C

Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.

Milo's stay at Stella's was great! I appreciated her honesty as he has some treat aggression. He was great with her dog Buddy and liked one of the other dogs staying but not the labradoodle. I'm grateful she was able to keep him a little later too, as our flight got back late. She sent pictures regularly and I loved seeing Milo in motion! Thank you for taking such great care of my little pup!

We wanted to express our sincere appreciation for your exceptional care of my anxious dog while we were on vacation. It was a relief knowing you kept him comfortable and safe, especially with his anxiety. We also really appreciated you keeping him separate from your cat due to my daughter's allergies – it showed a real dedication to his well-being and consideration for my family. The updates and photos you sent were so reassuring. Thanks again for going above and beyond! Will definitely take Cody back on our next vacation😊

Leaving our dog overnight for the first time is never easy, but Jen and her family made the whole experience so comforting and stress-free. From the start, Jen took the time to learn about Kubota’s routine, quirks, and little comforts, which really showed how much Jen cares. Throughout the day-night, we received sweet updates and photos that showed our pup not just being “watched,” but genuinely loved and cared for. It was such a relief to see Kubota so happy, relaxed, and treated like family. What stood out was the warmth and patience Jen showed as Kubota is still a puppy. It didn’t feel like just pet sitting — it felt like Kubota had a second home. We came back to a calm, content and very happy pup, and that peace of mind is priceless. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, kind, and attentive. We can’t recommend Jen enough and will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need overnight care.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Wadsworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Wadsworth on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,651 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wadsworth. 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.

93% of Wadsworth 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 Wadsworth 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 Wadsworth 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 Wadsworth.

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 Wadsworth 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 IL 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.
