“Sarais took great care of our 2 pups when we left town for a few days. At the end of their stay she bathed them, which was super sweet and helpful of her. My only thing was that I could’ve used more updates but whenever I reached out she quickly responded with pictures! I would definitely recommend!”

“Sauddi was amazing! She was incredibly kind and helpful during the booking process and made sure we both had the information we needed ahead of time. She was incredibly patient with my dog who wasn't used to the type of stairs she had in her place. She took my dog out on long walks despite the cold weather and made sure she had plenty of other stimulation. I will definitely use her again!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, from Dalmatians and a Great Dane to a sassy pet chicken. I’ve cared for cats, dogs and even had lovebirds at one point! I truly enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Working from home with a flexible schedule means I have lots of time to give your pets the care and attention they need, whenever you need help. Think of my home as your pet's fun, safe hangout! Working from home means endless cuddles and playtime, with trust and their well being always my top priority.

“Was nervous about boarding Stella since we’ve never done this. I appreciated the daily updates, pictures and walks that Stella thoroughly enjoys. It seems that Stella was right at home and probably didn’t mind her lengthy stay with Mackenzie & Jared. I know that if we needed to board Stella again we’d definitely choose Mackenzie!”

Luna will definitely stay again with Martha! I could tell right away Martha knew what she was doing. She walked Luna around outside before she brought her in! Very impressive! I would have never thought to do that!”

Danielle was awesome ! Gorgeous home and yard. Jack is usually very shy, hard to get a harness on him and I was afraid she wouldn't be able to get him back in the house . Apparently there was no problem, as he did it right away for her ! I highly recommend her and would use her again.

Our Peachy stayed with Emily while we were on 10 day vacation. She did great with Peachy and she made sure Peachy takes her medication (even if peachy gave her a hard time) 😊 She sent photos and we appreciste it very much. Her home is nice and clean. We will definitely rebook her 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Fairlawn on Rover is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 per night. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 804 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 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 Fairlawn 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 Fairlawn 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 Fairlawn.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
