“Jess took exceptional care of our older Bernese Mtn dog, Gracie. Just as her background on Rover indicates, Jess is well-versed in special care with administering meds and handling our dog who has some issues with weakness. Her care goes beyond those two qualities! Our dog loved her stay there as to how great she looked when we picked her up! Jess gave us a daily photo update and stayed connected with us about an issue Gracie had, which was quickly resolved. Wonderful peace of mind. We can't say enough great things about Jess. She is the best!”
“Kathleen and Nathan took great care of our dog, Ruthie. Lots of pictures and we really felt like they treated her like family. Will definitely ask them to watch Ruthie next time we travel!”
“My pup had a very merry Christmas with Anita and her crew! This was his second time staying here, and, when he saw Anita across the street at dropoff, he pulled toward her excitedly- which is always so reassuring to see! Communication was easy and frequent, and we’ll book with Anita again!”
“Jenna is an amazing sitter. She is attentive, communicative, and professional. She sends photos and regular updates two times a day. I would recommend her highly and will utilize her again.”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, cared for, and happy the entire stay. She was so flexible with our changing schedule, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. We could tell right away that our pups felt at home with her. We’re so grateful for her kindness and care — highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“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.”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim!! She was the perfect fit for my 8yr old Mal-Shi, Ella. She took such good care of my anxious little girl, giving her lots of love & comfort, as well as paying attention to the details of her care. She absolutely treated her like the queen that she is.”
About: I won’t lie and say I’ve professionally taken care of dogs for 15 years—but I’ve taken care of dogs ever since elementary school, in my own household and in others’. I know what to look out for to prevent a dog from getting into trouble. I’ve dealt with just about all kinds of messes. And I can handle any size of dog. My main job is part-time contract work, so there are a lot of monetary and time gaps that need filled. That said, my routine allows a lot of room for pet sitting! Every dog is different, so I take that approach with each pet I look after. I follow owner’s instructions, and if I have any questions I am not afraid to ask for clarification—the dog’s/owner’s needs come first. I love giving dogs the attention they deserve (which is usually a lot), and am great at playing.
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for my baby Theodore. She was attentive, patient, sweet, and also gives updates on how he was doing the whole time. I got daily pictures of him and it made me really happy. I will book her again and again. Highly recommend.”
“Aimee did an incredible job taking care of my dog! From the meet-and-greet we knew it would be a great match, but she sent lots of photos and gave my dog so much love I didn’t worry for a second while I was on vacation for a week. I’m looking forward to my next trip so my dog can go back and see Aimee and her family again!”
“Sydney and her boyfriend completely spoiled my dog with attention during his stay! I loved receiving all of the pictures and updates, he looked like he was right at home with them. We are so glad we found her and are looking forward to using her again in the future!”
“Chris did an AMAZING job with our two girls!! They are admittedly not the best walkers but it didn’t stop her from getting them out multiple times a day, would definitely book with her again!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and have experience with pet sitting as a teenager. I currently have two regular clients, I have 5 pets of my own and would love to help with cats or small dogs when you need it! I’m a probation officer, and a reliable animal lover. I work from home typically Tuesday-Thursday depending on my work schedule, so I have more flexibility on my lunch break on these days to help out with drop in visits. If you trust me to keep your pet at my home, I’ll be with them all day and can provide frequent potty breaks Tuesday-Thursday. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run, and two dogs who would love a playmate and sleepover! If you have a cat, I will check in and provide company as needed.
“Shayna was incredible at caring for my furbaby. She went above and beyond in her care including always communicating with me through out. I think she is the best on Rover! I was nervous leaving my little one for days without me and in a strangers care, but she clearly made it easier and which gave me the confidence that my doggy would be well cared for! Boy was I right! I will book her again as my Yorkie seemed to love her lots. If you ask me she needs to open her own doggy daycare business!!!! Thank you again Shayna!!! My little one came back so happy and full of joy after being with you!!!”
“Megan & her family are the best!! It was the first time I had been away from Bailey Rae overnight & was so anxious! She put my fears to rest & was beyond kind in taking such great care of Bailey! Bailey was well cared for & loved! She had so much fun she was worn out for 2 days!! I would highly recommend Megan for any pet sitting needs you may have!”
“This was the first time we left our young dog for 2 weeks and with Ramona. She was very responsive to my initial inquiry and questions along the way. All the pictures we received made us feel like Buddy was doing fine. When our flight was delayed and we had to add on an extra day at the last minute it was not a problem. Would definately use her 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 July 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 July 2026, there are 837 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.
