“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”
“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.”
“Karin took great care of our anxious dog, Chester. He seems to have a great time and she took him for great walks. Chester came home happy and tired. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Susan and her husband took very good care of my senior dog. He adjusted well quickly which is not normally his strong suit. She contacted me with any concerns or comments quickly which I appreciated. I highly recommend Susan and we definitely will be ising her again soon.”
“We were very pleased with the care given to our two dogs during our 7 day trip. Anna was great to keep us informed daily, text back quickly and stay on top of things. For the first time in many years, we actually had a relaxed vacation. We certainly will plan on using Anna again in the future.”
“Great stay for my senior dog. Christine paid attention to my senior dog and recognized when she needed to spend time alone. My dog is an only pet and I didnt know how she would do with other pets and christine made sure she had time alone to chew her bone in peace even though I didnt even know to ask her for that. Overall, great stay and I'm sure we'll be booking with christine again for our next trip.”
“Andrea is a gift from God and this is truly Her calling!!! Bentley had a blast per usual. She sent me pictures as videos on the regular, kept me in the loop on their Day & everything. And let’s not talk about the grooming service because it was definitely TOP TIER!!!! 10/10 as always!!!!!”
“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”
“I'm so happy I chose Swetha to watch Kodiak while I was on vacation. She sent multiple pictures a day, took care of his couple dietary needs, and took him on walks. I will absolutely reach out to Swetha the next time I travel and any time I need daycare.”
“Jeffany and her partner were truly incredible with our puppy. She still has some training to do in terms of being alone, sleeping at night, and jumping, but they were so thorough in their feedback about how she did and so patient and kind with her. Their photos were so sweet and consistent and really put my mind and heart at ease. Our puppy was well taken care of and very happy when she came home. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Amanda and her family (humans and canines!) took great care of Jazz, allowing me to visit my son! I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a warm environment for their dog!”

About: Hi! I’m Danielle, and I’ve always loved dogs and their fun, energetic personalities. I grew up with a yellow Lab who was part of my family for 15 years, and I regularly help care for my sister’s and friends’ dogs. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy being active with dogs. I’d love to give your pup plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and love while you’re away! I am a full time teacher but available in the evenings after 4pm. I am available most weekends as well! I am an early riser and enjoy spending as much time outside as possible. I have a fenced yard and small sun porch. I do not have any other animals in the home so I am able to be very attentive and accommodating to your pets various needs! I live near a small public park and am walking distance to Edgewater Park. I also am more than happy to take your dog on hikes and have a vehicle that is pet-safe.

“Keeley and her Family were AWESOME. Dottie came home healthy and happy, although she did miss her Mom lol. It was easy drop off and pick up. This is the first time I have EVER boarded any of my animals and was quite nervous but totally felt at ease and this much appreciated! Would definitely recommend.”
“Apryl kept me updated with lots of pictures throughout my dog’s visit. She even took my dog for a hike! My dog was welcomed by Apryl’s entire family and I’m so thankful to have found her! Will definitely use again!”

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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Garfield Heights
Angel provided daily updates and photos of Ace while we were out of town. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew that Ace was safe and well cared for by Angel. I highly recommend Angel as a dog sitter and will definitely book additional stays for Ace.
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Garfield Heights is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $67 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 October 2026, there are 840 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, 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.
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 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 , 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.
