“Kathy clearly loves dogs and is very careful to make sure she knows all the needs of your pup before you leave. She sent updates and photos that eased my worry about leaving my dog with a new sitter. Frances came home happy and tired! :)”
“An amazing caring animal lover, my dog had so much fun as shown in pictures. I definitely recommend Rachel, she is understanding and flexible. I think my dog will have to have play dates. I can't express my gratitude”
“They are really nice, caring people and have the perfect setting to board. My Andrew was very well cared for and loved while I was gone. Would definitely use them again.”
“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”
“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“Haley was an amazing host! Very communicative and kept us informed through the entire visit. Our Copper really seemed to enjoy his weekend stay! We will definitely use Haley’s services again! 5 ⭐️”
“We are returning customers and when we were planning for an out-of-town trip, there was no question of where to go for boarding for our pup. I was confident that he would be in good hands and enjoying himself in a comfortable and fun atmosphere while we were away. We are very thankful for her great care--thanks again, Katie!!”
“I'm so happy I found Tara and Peter. they have watched Denali before. This most recent was an extend 2 week stay. They updated me with so many pictures. Also cared for some abnormal things they saw in him, that turned out to be nothing. They identified it let me know and we were on the same page. Not having my dog with me is tough but knowing he was cared for, running and playing with his new friends was reassuring. Denali will be back”
About: We have each had dogs our entire lives. We currently have husky who is 1 1/2 years old and a 2 year old mini Australian Shepherd. They are both rescues. They are playful and enjoy being around other dogs. Free for plenty of walks and playtime during the day. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and will be able to keep a good eye on your dog. We have a pet friendly home inside and out. Our yard is fenced in. We have dog toys and balls all over. The dogs get plenty of exercise throughout the day.
“They helped me out TONS by watching my Shih Tzu for about 6 days. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Everything went smooth and they were flexible on drop off & pickup times since we drove all day. My dog seemed extremely comfortable @ pickup and we got several pics throughout the week! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Mike did a great job watching my dogs. He sent pics, communicated often and took really great care of both of them. we were so pleased!!! I highly recommend him as a trusted person to take care of your dog family!!”
“This was our second booking with Keksey. She's super easy going and great with our fur baby. Her dog, Mozilla, also seems to enjoy Lilys company. We got some pics of the dogs playing together and some chill time pics too. Im an anxious dog dad because I worry about my dog when im not around but Kelsey has taken great care of her on both occasions. I highly recommend her anyone who needs care for their baby. Just dont take any of the dates I need. 🤣”
“Absolutely outstanding with our pup, sent us pictures of Zoey during her stay and was super attentive and thorough to our pets needs. Will book with Kaitlynn again! Thank you!”
“Colleen was so great with our dog while we were away! She provided nice updates throughout the trip and was very thorough in collecting information to provide the best care for our dog. 5-star dog sitter!”
“Awesome communication! So nice and super easy to book with, and so good with our pup. This is the first time we’ve done any kind of boarding and it was a really great experience. We really appreciate you!”
“Best sitter ever! Austin took my doberman Riley in when I was scrambling to find someone last minute. He sent me pictures and updated me multiple times a day. He treated Riley like his own. I’ve tried a few different sitters and he is the best by far. Could not recommend him more!”
“Anna was simply amazing. My dog really enjoyed being with her. She even got my dog eating which speaks to Anna’s warm spirit. Book with Anna and you won’t be worried.”
“10/10 recommend. Cliff and his wife watched my dog while I was out of town, and when I came back to get her, she was all smiles. I can tell she genuinely loved staying there (not always the case at other sitters btw!) The home is large with a fenced in back yard and toys for the dogs to play in. My dog required solo playtime, as she doesn’t always get along with other dogs, and they were very accommodating. I will be booking future stays with them!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Willoughby Hills is $45
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!
Jacob and Lisa were very good with Gracie. They kept me informed with pictures they emailed me. When I picked Gracie up she seem to be happy. I am very pleased with Jacob and Lisa. They are very pleasant people and caring. I would recommend their services. I will use their services again. w

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 Willoughby Hills 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 Willoughby Hills 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 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.
