“Once again, Tommy has been cared for by Kathy and Graham so well that we never have to worry when we are away. It's obvious that he remembers and loves them. He enjoys his walks, cuddles and special treats!. The pictures we receive make us smile as well.”
“I really appreciate Pat for taking very good care of lily during her stay. Appreciate receiving daily updates with pictures & videos. Will definitely get her service again in the future.”
“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”
“I love Susan and Kenny. They are so good with my girl Mona. Mona is a rescue and hates to be away from her person. Susan and Kenny have become her new persons after only two stays. They treat Mona like I treat Mona. I'm so happy to have found them.”
“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!”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience!!!! Tara & Peter sent pictures the entire weekend along with updates on our dog. Their fence in back yard was perfect for our energetic husky to get lots of energy out. We picked her up on Sunday and she was exhausted! We will definitely book every time with Tara & Peter!!!!”
“Samantha was a kind and caring sitter! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She also has 2 small and very well behaved pups and this was great for socialization. Very happy to leave my puppy with Samantha.”
“Summer was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Tycho and Kepler! They stayed with her for 5 days and 4 nights, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent multiple photos each day and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. It was clear from the start that Summer took the time to read our dogs’ Rover profiles. She came prepared with thoughtful questions at drop-off and even reached out when Kepler started chewing on a deer antler, just to double-check with us. That level of attentiveness meant a lot. Tycho and Kepler got tons of playtime with her own pets, including her dog Morty and her cats, and they clearly had a great time. As an added bonus, her son was incredibly sweet with our dogs and spent time cuddling with them, which made their stay even more special. We would absolutely book with Summer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and attentive sitter!”
“I needed someone to watch Chester last minute and Clifford was very accommodating. Allowing us to stop by before the stay to make sure it was a good fit for Chester. He sent frequent updates, and Chester seemed to really enjoy his stay. Highly recommend him!”
“Susan took great care of our 5 month old poodle while my family was on vacation for a week. She provided frequent updates and pictures of our puppy getting daily exercise, resting, and playing with her dog Frank and her other furry houseguests. My kids loved seeing these updates! I think the time with Susan ended up being a great socialization opportunity for our puppy!”
“Beth gave Baker so much love and attention. He has a little separation anxiety but seemed to get over it very quickly with the attention he was getting. We felt very comfortable and will definitely bring Baker back again to this loving home. Thank you Beth!”
“This was my first time using Rover, although many friends us it or are hosts, and this was all new to my corgi, Paisley. We did a pre-visit to make sure she would fit in with Wendy’s two small dogs and her cat, which was great. She was a little overwhelmed and anxious for the first couple of days without me being there, with 2 more dogs boarding too but Wendy handled it well (lots of communication between us, crating for some downtime) and Paisley settled in.”
“Takia was very responsive and kind! We received daily updates of our pups and we were able to see that they were being treated very well. We had a hiccup with their pills but it was handled professionally and quickly. We would definitely recommend her and book again with her 💗”
“Colleen was absolutely wonderful! She has a calm demeanor and was so loving to my Poppy while away for a week. I received daily updates and loved seeing through photos the bond Poppy and her lab, Peaches, developed. In fact, tonight a yellow lab appeared on the TV in an ad and Poppy went wild barking. I think she already misses her new friend and it has at even been 24 hours. I will most certainly use Colleen for future boarding.”
“Our pup had such a great time with Anna! She did such a great job and sent us daily updates and pictures. We will definitely use Anna again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, happy place for their furry friends.”
“Mel was the absolute best with our pup. She provided pics of Cali during our time away and even bathed her! Picking up a clean puppy was a real treat and far exceeded our expectations. Cali got to go on lots of walks and was completely worn out when she got home, which is quite an achievement for a lab!”
“Patti and Paul were absolutely amazing with Stanley!! They took care of and treated him like their own, we will definitely be bringing Stanley back to them, he already misses them!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gates Mills
Mike took great care of our dog Honey. We made arrangements close to the date we needed care, and Mike gladly took on Honey. Routine pictures were really appreciated and Honey seemed quite content staying with Mike. Would definitely recommend and use his services again.
This was by far the most amazing new experience for our babies! We typically boarded deeno in a huge boarding facility, but wanted to try something new and a little more personal. We were unsure how our newest rescue would do, as we are not too familiar with him. Scrappy got his nails trimmed, and a bath, Deeno looks like he got one also. 🥰 Our doggies were so happy, loved and enjoyed meeting new friends! Cant wait to book again! You both are amazing, and your backyard is absolutely beautiful and spacious for them to roam freely! Thank you again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 801 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gates Mills. 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.
94% of Gates Mills 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 Gates Mills 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 Gates Mills 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 Gates Mills.
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 Gates Mills 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.
