“We are so grateful to find Pat!!! She let our 3 dogs move in with her for 6 days. Our dogs were so well taken care of. They loved Pat and Lexi. Pat treated our dogs as her own. She kept us updated with daily pictures and messages. We will be using Pat again. Thank you Pat for everything.”
“I was super nervous about leaving my puppy Simba for the first time. Zachary and his family took great care of him. I love that the backyard is fenced in and the dogs are able to run and play. When I picked my puppy up, he wasvery relaxed and calm and you can tell he had a good time I will definitely book with Zachary and his family for all of my future dog sitting needs.”
“Jessica took great are of our dog while we were away. The daily photos she sent showed that Sundance was comfortable in his temporary surroundings, which gave us peace of mind. She has a nice fenced yard where dogs can enjoy outdoors time. She was available for meet/greet and drop off/pick up. All went smoothly!”

“Michael and his wife are incredible hosts. Their home is clean, accommodates our furry friends in the best of ways, and anyone can see right away that they have a deep love of dogs! Michael and his wife not only made sure that our pup was cared for and comfortable, they also soothed any possible worry that pet parents could have - constant communication, photo/video updates, asked questions when necessary. Your beloved pet will be in great hands and we’re so thrilled to have found our new, local, and friendly sitters. I know our pup will be thrilled to return! Another thing - their dogs are well trained and friendly! Your pup will come home deeply satisfied and pooped from their adventures with Mike, his wife and their sweet dogs. Can’t wait to rebook — thank you, Michael!”

“We had a great experience with Gabrielle! Everything went smoothly and Clover came home happy and well cared for. Gabrielle was so kind, communicative and easy to work with. We really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“First time using Rover (recommended from a family member). From first experience with Rover and first sitter, I am very impressed! Sauddi and my cats got along very well. (They are friendly to everyone and will not go near people they sense are problems.). She provided daily videos, images and messages to update their status. She definitely did a fantastic job and, recommend her for a cat sitter. Gentle and kind. Thank you so much, you were a big help! 😊”
“Vicki is beyond amazing as a dog sitter. My lab has so much energy and the day he came home after a week with Vicki and her other dogs, he did nothing but sleep! While at the sitters he took great advantage of the dog friendly swimming pool and large yard. Vicki sent me pictures everyday and let me know what adventures my dog was experiencing. I highly recommend Vicki - she loves dogs!!! We will be a repeat customer ?”
“Kristen was amazing with our Koko. She was always updating us on her day. She liked being there so much that she did not have her usual excitement upon seeing us. I'm so glad we found her and we will definitely be using her when we need to be away. She also got along really well with Kristen's fur babies.”
“Took great care of our Corgi while we were out of state for the week! Great communication, sends daily updates and photos, and keeps pups happy and safe❤️ Definitely our go-to sitter!”
“Danielle was easy to work with and set our minds at ease about leaving our newly adopted, very high energy, 7 month old puppy. Our original sitter plans fell through 2 weeks before our trip and we had never used Rover before, so we were a little nervous. Danielle allowed us to come over to her house to do a Meet and Greet before our trip and upon meeting her and her kids, we knew Bodhi would be in good hands. Bodhi took quickly to Danielle's son and we loved getting texts while we were on our trip about how he and Bodhi were cuddling on the couch watching a movie or that they were outside running around the backyard. We are so greatful for Danielle and her kids for welcoming Bodhi into their home and family for the week while we were away for a conference and would totally trust to leave Bodhi in their care again! Thank you Danielle!”
“Athena is so kind and so compassionate, my dogs loved their time wither her & her family. They loved their new friend Rufus❤️ communication was outstanding, lots of pictures. It was such a comfort knowing how well cared for and loved my boys were while I was away. They were part of her family ❤️❤️❤️”
“Dropping our babies off for the first time, we were of course nervous, but within 30 minutes of leaving we were already receiving photos of our pups settling in. Throughout their short stay, Heather sent multiple updates, which gave us such peace of mind. When an issue came up with one of our dogs, she notified us immediately and handled everything with excellent communication—truly above and beyond. If we’re ever back in the area, we would certainly book with her again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter!”
“Catherine took great care of Capri, took her on walks, visited the dog park and kept her busy. She sent daily pictures and updates. I highly recommend and will use this sitter again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fairlawn
Naomi took great care of our dog, Max, while we were out of town for a long weekend. She shared pictures and provided daily updates on how Max was adjusting. I felt very comfortable leaving Max with Naomi. He was well care for, and I will definitely try to rebook with her when we go out of town in the future!
Ryan and Rio were the perfect hosts for Ziggy. Ryan is very knowledgeable about dogs and expertly handled my large puppy and his antics. Communication is excellent and Ryan is very accommodating. Ziggy was well cared for and tired when we picked him up. I will use Ryan again.
Emily was very kind and understanding that my dog has never been to a dog sitter or anything like that. Stormi is very anxious and protective, SO she is very picky with whom she bonds with!! Emily took All that in consideration And Stormi loved her & Emily’s husband 💙 I will definitely be referring Emily to anyone that needs a sitter! She even sends progress reports, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Mark and Elizabeth were great with Maeve. Maeve had a great time. Mark and Elizabeth updated us throughout our trip with multiple photographs, they are professional, friendly and very responsive. Great with puppies with high energy. Will be utilizing there services again for sure. Highly recommend Mark and Elizabeth

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Fairlawn on Rover is $48.84 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 813 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Fairlawn. 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.
96% of Fairlawn 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 Fairlawn 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 Fairlawn 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 Fairlawn.
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 Fairlawn 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.
