“I was extremely impressed with Kelsey and her husband. They took great care of Cal! He came home happy, was well taken care of, and was exhausted from all the fun he was having. Thank you!!”
“Kyle was great with my energetic young Labrador Retriever. I loved the regular photos and check-ins. He gave her lots of good attention and spent a lot of time outdoors with her. When I picked her up, I could see that she liked Kyle quite a bit, even wanting to go back inside with instead of in my car! 😂 I will definitely be booking more stays with Kyle for my pup.”

“Our dog Heidi has stayed with Sandra several times and we highly recommend her. She is professional, communicative, and very sweet. Heidi takes a while to warm up to strangers but Sandra has always been great with her and sends us lots of updates from their walks and playtime. She is also very flexible and easy to work with. We always know Heidi is in good hands with Sandra!”
“Cheryl is perfect for babysitting! Kind, sweet, responsive and helpful! Before we booked, she sent us picture of her place, explained where she would let our cat stay in, and thoroughly asking us questions regarding Zuko's habits and temperament. She let us do a meet and greet with Zuko at her place before we finalize the booking. While we were out of town, she sent us check ups and pictures and spent tons of time with Zuko! 10/10 recommend her for future endeavors! She was the best and we had other options but meeting her first my husband and I knew she was the best choice right off the bat!”

About: Hi! I’m Corey, a lifelong animal lover, dog dad, and the kind of person who genuinely enjoys getting to know an animal’s unique personality. My two dogs, Asher and Gracie, are part of the family, so I understand that trusting someone with your pet means trusting them with someone you love. I know every dog is different. Some want to play all day, some want to sniff every corner of the yard, and others are happiest curled up beside you getting belly rubs. I love getting to know those little quirks and making sure each dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own way. I care for my own pets every day and regularly help friends and family with theirs. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, companionship, a consistent routine, or just a little extra affection while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make their time with me feel like a second home. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me. They’re a member of your family, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want someone to give Asher and Gracie. I also know how reassuring it is to get an update while you’re away, so I’ll keep you in the loop and let you know how your pup is doing. My goal is simple: for you to feel confident leaving your dog in my care, and for your dog to have a happy, comfortable experience while you’re apart. ❤️ Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I make it a priority to give every dog in my care the time and attention they deserve. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether that means keeping up with their usual feeding times, fitting in walks and playtime, or simply providing companionship throughout the day. I want you to feel confident that your pup isn’t just being watched, but genuinely cared for. My home is a place where dogs can feel comfortable, included, and loved. With a fenced-in yard for outdoor play and a welcoming indoor space for relaxing, your pup can enjoy a balance of activity and downtime. I believe dogs deserve to be treated like family, not guests who have to stay out of the way. I also understand that every dog has different needs and comfort levels. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, I’ll respect their routine, pay attention to their individual needs, and work to make the experience as stress-free as possible. Their safety and well-being always come first, and I’ll keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with greater peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willoughby Hills
This was our first time leaving our fur baby with a sitter for any length of time. He is a handful at times, but a loving snuggle bug at others. We were nervous, but our initial meeting with Sally gave us our first level of comfort. Upon dropping our guy off at Sally's, we felt good that he was in experienced, loving hands. Then the next morning, we got our first "report" - a series of photos with a full update on how everything was going. More updates and photos followed and we felt better each day about the care he was receiving. When we picked him up, we got a great feeling that all was well and we feel very comfortable booking with Sally again in the future. We are so happy that you meshed so well together. We definitely recommend Sally!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Willoughby Hills is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 694 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Willoughby Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Willoughby Hills can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Willoughby Hills 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 Willoughby Hills.
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 Willoughby Hills 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.
