“Caroline and Samuel were fantastic with my dog Netty. They were flexible with pick up times and they genuinely care about your dogs well being and happiness. The updates they sent made me smile and reassured Netty was in good hands. Their dog Winnie is adorable and eager to play with your dog any chance she gets! 100% recommend booking with them! Will book again soon. Thank you for a great experience”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for many years. During college, I spent five years working in a veterinary office where I gained valuable experience. I have a friendly Golden retriever who enjoys having other dogs around (large or small). I have cared for dogs belonging to our friends and family while they travel and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I provide a safe, comfortable home where your dog can be a part of the family while enjoying our spacious fenced yard and receive plenty of attention. Our two children are older and comfortable with dogs. They understand how to be respectful around dogs so your dog will be joining a calm, family-oriented home. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine and will do my best to make your dog feel at home while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I am home much of the time and enjoy having dogs as part of our family routine. I have the flexibility to give boarding dogs plenty of attention and outdoor time. I am able to accommodate each dog's normal routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime and bedtime. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable in our home rather than staying in a kennel. Our home has a large fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore. My friendly Golden Retriever enjoys playing with friends. I keep my boarding groups under 2 dogs so I can give each dog individual attention and maintain a calm environment.
“Eric & Polly were great with Nyx and sent us lots of updates. They were also super responsive. She seemed confortable with them by the time we picked her up. Thank you!”
“Michelle was a fantastic host for our dog. Our pup is an 80lb, 1.5yr old lab, with tons of energy, and Michelle handled her so well. Our dog had such a great time, got to play with other dogs, and got so much attention during her 10 day stay. Michelle also sent daily updates with photos and videos of our pup. We could not be any more pleased with Michelle’s services. She also offers day care services which we used prior to our stay to see if our dog was a good fit, and she was! Will DEFINITELY use her again!”
“Robert was amazing! Made us feel very comfortable when dropping Dino off and continued to stay in close contact while we were away. Received multiple photos and videos + daily updates. Dino was safe and engaged every day!! We can tell he misses Robert already which is a great sign. Will definitely book with Robert again!!”
“Rose appeared to be very calm when I picked her up. This was the first time that I had left her . I was very pleased with the communication and photos of her relaxing on the couch.”
“Stacie and Doug took great care of our little guy! They provided regular updates and pictures while we were away. I would highly recommend them to anyone and plan to use them again in the future. Thank you!”
“Simply amazing, she treated my dog like her very own, great backyard with fence for dogs to run and play. She took my dog for many walks, we received frequent picture updates. Overall, highly recommend Karin and her husband”
“Brendan, Sarah, Jasper, and June went above and beyond to make sure our little pupper was comfortable and sent us lots of great updates. Kip is not an easy dog (due to his breed) and the fact that he was such a good guest throughout his stay with them is a reflection of their love, patience, experience, and knowledge of dogs. I highly recommend them if you’re in search of sitters and new friends for your furry babes! They are all amazing!”
“I am so thankful that I found Michael and his wife. They treat my dog like their own and I always feel so comfortable leaving him with them knowing Munchie is in good hands. Would highly recommend them!!”
“Christiana was great! Our two dogs seemed to enjoy their time there & especially loved being able to run around in the backyard! She sent us pictures and updates throughout and was very responsive when I checked in with her!”
“2nd time leaving my fur baby with Angela. Starting to feel like family. My Nacho had so much fun with her dogs and her grandchildren. He looked so at home. Angela will forever be my sitter of choice!!!!”
“Shannon and Robert provided excellent care for our Dog while we were away. They kept in contact everyday and sent pictures. They are a very sweet dog loving family. No worries what so ever leaving out dog with them. We will definitely use them again.”
“We could not have been happier with Leo and Nash’s style with Jen. They took them on multiple walks, were extremely communicative, and we could tell right away that our dogs felt happy and safe upon meeting their family and walking into the house. 10/10 recommend!!”
“Tolley and Tom took great care of Repeat. The family treated Repeat as if he was one of their own dogs. They sent lots of pictures and updates to help ease our mind. We would definitely use them again.”
“Lucy had such a wonderful stay with Jenni!! Jenni is so kind, caring, and accommodating. She provided a warm and cozy home and lots of extra attention. Jenni provided daily pictures of activities and walks. We could tell Lucy was well cared for. We are grateful to have found Jenni and to have had a happy place for Lucy to be while we were away!”
“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.”
“David was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Louis! From start to finish, he was a great communicator — always quick to respond and kept me updated throughout the stay. He sent tons of adorable pictures, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Louis looked so happy and well taken care of in every photo. It’s clear that David truly loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for. I couldn’t recommend him more highly — I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”

If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog as nice (if not better) than you do, well Debbra is that person! She treated Biscuit like he was her own dog. She kept him on his same schedule and provided him with the long daily walks he is used to. I could tell from the pictures she provided that Biscuit was comfortable and relaxed. He was so happy when I picked him up. Debbra is truly a dog lover and I will be using her services again!
We had such a great experience with our dog sitter! Eric & Polly watched Enzo and Bentley for three nights and took amazing care of them. They sent us picture updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear the boys were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It’s not always easy leaving your dogs with someone, but knowing they were in good hands made our trip so much more relaxing. We would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Westlake on Rover is $38.33 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 669 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Westlake. 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.
96% of Westlake 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 Westlake 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 Westlake 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 Westlake.
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 Westlake 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.
