“Kathy and Graham were great! Kathy kept Reeko an additional day, due to an emergency! She sent pictures, updates throughout the day, and was a great communicator. If I have to leave him again, I’m sure Reeko would love to go back, and I would definitely choose them!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“Susan and her husband did such a great job taking care of Cheddar! Our dog was excited to see us when we picked her up, but I could tell she was well taken care of. Cheddar enjoyed playing with the other dogs, and Susan communicated well and sent lots of pictures. Would absolutely send Cheddar to Susan's again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I'm so happy with the care Kyle provided for Charlie. They treated Charlie like their own, keeping us updated with daily photos and cute messages. We came home to a happy, tired, and well-cared-for dog. We will absolutely be booking with him again!"”
“Lulu has a great time staying with Susan. I get great pictures and videos so I know Lulu is having fun. And that makes my trips more fun too! There are usually a couple of nice pups there so Lulu is never bored. Susan is my go to when I need to go out of travel.”
“Beth is wonderful! She was patient with my pup and instead of refusing her services to me she was willing to give him a try. Turned out to be a success! Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease and allowing my puppy a chance to develop his confidence.”
“Wendy was really great with our dog who is not quite 2 years old. Our dog has a few challenges (slight separation anxiety and some unexpected aggression) and Wendy was confident and willing to work with her. Wendy also kept me updated throughout our week with texts and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Takia was amazing taking care of our dogs. She communicated with us throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. Our dogs were loved and cared for 100%. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again for our next vacation.”
“Colleen was a great match for our 8 month old Bernese! She was able to manage his puppy energy while having other dogs and sent daily updates while we were away! Would definitely trust Bogey to be with Colleen again ◡̈”
“Anna was wonderful with my pup and is just a special person who loves animals. Her home was amazing and is perfect for any dog. The backyard was a special treat for sure for my Chip. I cannot recommend Anna and her home enough. I knew my dog was very well taken care of and in great hands. Excellent communication as well. Thank you Anna and Gabe too 😘 ❤️”
“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!”
“Pat and Paul welcomed Rosie into their home as if she was their own. She had loads of good play time and good care overall. Communication was excellent. Definitely recommend!”

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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Gates Mills
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.
