“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!”

“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”

“Our dog, Mollie, is 19 years old with no eyes and is hard of hearing. She is lovable and gentle, but as a senior, she has occasional accidents, is a picky eater and has some mental confusion. Angel was wonderful with her. She took everything in stride. Angel kept us posted regularly with photos, descriptions and texts. She gave Mollie extra care and attention and addressed her health issues as needed above our expectations. We were very pleased with the care that Mollie received and highly recommend Angel E.”

About: Hi! I’m Mary, a lifelong animal lover who understands just how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. I’m an active, responsible professional with a flexible schedule and plenty of experience caring for dogs, including small breeds and senior dogs that may need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. As a longtime fitness professional, walking is already a big part of my lifestyle, so I’m happy to accommodate everything from a leisurely neighborhood stroll to a longer, more energetic walk depending on your dog’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my active daily routine! I’m primarily available in the afternoons through early evenings for dog walks and drop-in visits. This makes me a great option for midday potty breaks, afternoon walks, after-work check-ins, or dinner-time visits. What you can expect from me: Dependable and punctual visits Dog walks tailored to your pet’s age and energy level Drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks and companionship Extra patience and attention for senior dogs Plenty of affection and playtime Photos and updates during visits Careful attention to your instructions and your pet’s normal routine Respect for your home and property I know how stressful it can be to leave a pet in someone else’s care. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing your dog is being treated with the same kindness and attention I would want for my own.

“I am so pleased with my dog sitting experience with Karin! We were really comfortable during the meet and greet. Karin took the time to ask questions about Sonnie, and Sonnie and Chubb interacted and played like they had already met. This was my first time leaving Sonnie with her, and 2 minutes after I left she sent me a note and picture, putting me at ease immediately. She communicated and sent pictures a few times a day. She goes above and beyond and I will definitely use her services again (if/when she is available)!”

“My dog, Bodhi, has been going to Susan for at least four years, several times a year. He gets so excited when we start driving toward Susan's house that he can barely contain himself. He is very fond of Susan's husband and always receives extra cuddles. Susan has cared for him when he's been on medication and needing extra attention. He always receives the best care. We also like that he socializes with other dogs, and we get cute pics. I highly recommend Susan.”

“Christine is by far the best person you can trust with your furrchild. My husband and I went on our first vacation and were super nervous to leave our 8 month old diabetic puppy anywhere since most boarding facilities are not 24 hour operated. I knew I would stress the entire time if our puppy would be alright. There was a chance her sugar would drop and there would be no staff at the facility. I found Christine and knew instantly she was the perfect fit! Right off the bat she was on the floor loving on our pup who instantly returned the love too. She loved meeting new puppy friends and had Christine's sweet kids to love her too! Christine was able to check my pups sugar and give her insulin also and was super comfortable with learning which helped my anxiety a ton also! While we were away we got adorable pictures and updates that helped our vacation go smooth! I can't thank you enough Christine and family!!!!”

“Ally did a great job with our pups while we were out of the country. She kept in close contact with lots of updates and pics to ease our mind. I would recommend her to anyone. I would note that her place might be a little small for two big dogs (that's what we have , but that's probably best determined case by case.) ”

Debra took great care of my Boston terrier Oliver. He had to be on antibiotics and a painkiller at the time and she administered the pills to him daily. I am truly grateful he loved playing with her two little dogs too.

Lillian did an amazing job of watching my dog Tia for a weekend when I was out of town for an interview. She is very kind, caring, and knowledgeable and gave my dog treats during our meet at greet and chicken gizzards to go when I came to pick Tia up. She also sent me updates while I was away with details about what Tia had been up to and with pictures. Her dog Jericho is also such a friendly dog and Tia and Jericho got along and played together in the yard. I would definitely use Lillian again as a dog sitter!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Garfield Heights

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Garfield Heights on Rover is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $67 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 842 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Garfield Heights. 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 Garfield Heights 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 Garfield Heights 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 Garfield Heights.

<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 Garfield Heights 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.
