“The second we met Vanessa, we were instantly relieved and comforted to know that we were leaving our Bingo in good hands. Vanessa is so kind and easy to talk to, and provided several updates throughout the day. Bingo fit in so well with her dogs - they were instant friends. I'm so happy we found Vanessa and will continue to use her services.”
“Well Sadie must have had a good time she was wore out I'm sure with playing with the children I know she loves little children and dogs everything went well is expected”
“I felt immediately comfortable with Myra upon meeting her. Sage had a great week and ate all week, something she never does in a kennel. Myra is a puppy lover and kept us updated during the week. We plan to use her service again in a few weeks!”
“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”
“Amber and her husband do an amazing job taking care of your fur baby. Bailey gets so excited when she realizes we are at their home. Couldn’t ask for better dog sitters. Will miss them as I’m getting married and moving to Columbus but now there’s time for them to watch your dog.”
“Catherine and Adam are a wonderful pair! They took such good care of my spoiled rotten pup. I got picture updates of him being snuggled on all weekend, and my dog was really happy at pick up. I absolutely will hire them again!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 9 years old when I got my first cat named Midnight. I have had Australian Shepherds, dachshunds, Bengal cats, a Pomeranian (who will be 14 this year). You name it I have probably cared for it! I just absolutely love animals and always tell people I prefer them over humans lol I have been working from home for 6 years and am able to easily manage watching over fur babies while I work. I get an hour for lunch as well which gives me plenty of time during my work schedule to go for walks if the weather permits. I have a nice fenced in backyard, a safe neighborhood and no kids. My dog is definitely a spoiled princess and I wouldn't have it any other way. I would love to spoil your baby as well!
“Amber and her family are absolutely amazing with our needy little one! She is very flexible with dropoff/pickup and quickly responds to messages. I also love that she sends frequent updates and pictures :) highly recommend her!!”
About: I have pet sat for years! Along with working at the local humane society for 2 years, I am a vet assistant there and I love it! I also have fostered for the last 3 years from dogs and puppies to cats and kittens (with a few pocket pets as well). I work full time, living only a few minutes from work, coming home during lunch for potty breaks and a little play time if boarding. If sitting in your home, depending on location ,I will be there as well during lunch. If it’s too far plenty of time for potty breaks and play time before and after work! I have a dog of my own who loves to play! However, if needed I can keep everyone separated. I have a complete fenced in yard with lots of room to run. I have fostered for years so I have all the supplies one could need! Also taking great care of clients homes and furry family members when sitting in your home. I work with neonatal to seniors on a daily basis I can meet any needs from my home to yours!
“Kristin was great! Very easy going, prompt with returning messages. She took our dog out for multiple walks. Leo seemed very happy and tired after his weekend away with all the attention he was given.”
“Chris and his family took great care of my dog when my initial plans for boarding fell through at the last minute. I received daily updates and pictures. I can tell they treated my baby very well. I am extremely appreciative, and will be booking again.”

“I would 100% use Catherine again. She is so sweet and LOVES animals. She treated our Goldendoodle like one of her own. We received text and pictures daily and she was super quick to respond whenever we checked in with her. If you need a sitter don’t hesitate on using Catherine, You will feel very comfortable leaving your pet with her ❤️”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience with Jacob. We were pretty nervous about leaving Reina since she’s a rescue and can be a little anxious around new people, but Jacob immediately put us at ease. He took the time to meet with us beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and even took notes about Reina’s routine, what she likes, and her do’s and don’ts. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making her feel comfortable. While we were away, he kept us updated with plenty of pictures and communicated with us consistently, which made a huge difference and allowed us to actually relax on our trip. Every update showed us that Reina was being well cared for and getting lots of attention. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, communicative, and truly cares about your dog, we highly recommend Jacob. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Chloe seemed to do enjoy being with April and her husband, as well as her dog Ziggy. April gave updates as to how Chloe was doing and seemed to follow instructions regarding Chloe's care. I definitely recommend April to care for your fur babies.”

Haley and her husband were amazing. Maggie was hesitant at first but by the time we picked her up she was a happy camper. I really felt so good leaving her and it was the first time we left her at Haley’s house. It was a great experience and we will use her again this weekend again and whenever we have a need they are the ones we will call. Thank you

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Xenia is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $50 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 November 2026, there are 373 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Xenia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
94% of sitters in Xenia 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 Xenia 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 Xenia.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Xenia. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Xenia 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
