“Had a wonderful experience with Amanda! I was able to do a meet and greet to make sure our dogs got along which gave me a lot of peace of mind before dropping my dog off for the night. I got a ton of pictures for updates and her entire family made my dog feel so loved and safe. Will definitely be using this sitter again!!”
“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”
“Amanda is amazing!!! She is so friendly and accommodating to our girl LuLu. She sent videos and pics of our girl while we were away. Lulu looked like she had so much fun with her other dogs. I recommend Amanda to anyone who needs a sitter. We are from out of town and I feel so blessed to have found Amanda. I know Lulu will be taken care of if we ever need a sitter again. Thank you Amanda!! Hope to see you again next time!”
“Samantha was a kind and caring sitter! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She also has 2 small and very well behaved pups and this was great for socialization. Very happy to leave my puppy with Samantha.”

They are great and send lots of photo and video updates so I know he’s having a great time! Highly recommend and Xaden will definitely be back!”
About: My name is Ivette and I currently study at Case. My husband is a USPS mail carrier and I work from home. Currently, I have one dog and two rescue cats🐾. During the pandemic, I spent a significant amount of time with my pets indoors where I had the opportunity to take care of two litters that my dogs had. I learned many skills during that time. With age, my dog became a senior dog and had to take oral medication so I am used to giving oral/topical medication to pets. I have been living in the Cleveland area since 2019 but I am originally from Texas. My current home has a fenced back yard and a good route for walks. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.
“Beth and Edward took such amazing ca of our pup Bear! Their communication and updates helped us know he was doing well and in such great hands. Would highly recommend and not hesitate to use again! Thank you.”
“Debra took great care of my Boston terrier Oliver. He had to be on antibiotics and a painkiller at the time and she administered the pills to him daily. I am truly grateful he loved playing with her two little dogs too.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.
“Fantastic short stay for our large dog. My dog is shy and can sometimes struggle with new environments. We were given the flexibility of a meet and greet, but even without, the numerous photos were reassuring of my dog’s comfortability in Tina and Rick’s home. I am very appreciative of the updates throughout the day and taking the time to go out on walks. Will definitely be a future customer!”
“Cordelia was a great sitter for my cat Pandan for 6 days. She was very accommodating on our visit and flexible with drop off and pick ups. Based on all the photos she sent, he seemed like he enjoyed his time there. I would definitely book again.”
About: I have loved and taken care of dogs for years. I am a Dog lover for sure. I have dog sat for family members many times. Retired so I have all day to care for your pets. I am here to give potty breaks as needed and lots and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have two small dogs that love to play. I live in a small neighborhood with no traffic or noise.
“Ariel helped us out with 3 days notice when we had an event to attend and realized all our care takers would be at the event. Ariel was very accommodating to our girl by allowing her to live life as she knows it. From the pictures that she sent, our girl seemed quite content. Thank You Ariel for your kindness. We will be requesting Ariel as a repeat sitter in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Willowick
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Willowick is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $76 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 of October 2026, there are 673 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Willowick. 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 Willowick 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 Willowick home-away-from-home, 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 Willowick.
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 Willowick 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 , 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 .
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.
