“We had never left Kona overnight before...but she was so comfortable with Susan! And, Susan is an amazing photographer, as well. I absolutely loved getting all the photos! Thank you, Susan, for loving our Kona so much!”
“I am so grateful for Kathy's conscientious care for Molly, including handling her complicated medication needs. Molly is always thrilled for her stays with Kathy!”
“Pamela was great, she took my dog Pinky last minute and let her stay in her bed with her so she wouldn't have to interact with other dogs. On the last day that Pinky was with her, she had diarrhea all over her bedroom and all Pamela cared about was making sure Pinky was okay. Would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”
“Mac had a great overnight with Katie! I really appreciated all the texts and pictures Katie sent, especially since it was our puppy’s first night away. I can tell that Mac was given lots of care and attention. We will definitely book with Katie again!”
“Kelsey did a wonderful job watching our dog Zippy while we were away! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Zippy looked happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. 🐾 We really appreciated how reliable and kind Kelsey was throughout the stay. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. We’d absolutely trust her with Zippy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter on Rover! 😊”
“They took care of our baby Rosita like she was part of their family. Kept me informed with pictures and videos. I was a little nervous at first because it was my first time leaving her somewhere. But they made me feel comfortable. I’m so thankful to you guys for taking care of Rosita. I would recommend you 100%. I would gladly be a regular costumer. Thank you ?”
“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!!!”
“Icy has a lot of anxiety when he needs to be boarded. Wendy did a great job caring for his needs. She has a beautiful home with everything required to keep a dog happy, healthy, safe and comfortable. Thank you Wendy!!”
“Cheryl was the best dog sitter we have ever had. She was attentive and very communicative. She sent lots of photos and my dog loved her so much he didn’t want to leave. I will definitely be booking Cheryl whenever I can if I need someone to watch my dogs.”

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Summer was very flexible and accommodated unforeseen circumstances. She really treated Teddy like her own. He appeared to be right at home. Thank you for taking care of him.”

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 for Dog Boarding in Willowick on Rover is $49.4 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 680 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 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.
95% of Willowick 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 Willowick 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 Willowick 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 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 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.
