“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!!!!”
“Lovingly cared for my Bella when we took a quick trip to visit our new grandbaby… There were Daley photos sent, I love the fact that she only takes one dog at a time so your dog gets all their attention”
“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.”
“I felt very at ease leaving my dog with Natalia. She gave me daily updates and pictures and I felt as though her family treated Lola as their own. I did not have to worry at all about Lola while I was away. Thank you Natalia!”
“This was the first time I have ever left my dogs anywhere while we traveled. (2 King Charles cavaliers). I cannot say enough about how wonderful Susan and Kenny took care of my boys. I received pictures and updates daily…my dogs looked happy and comfortable in all of them (especially the ones sound asleep with Kenny in his chair). Scout and Max have definitely found a home away from home. Thank you Susan and Kenny! ?❤️?”
“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!”
“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.”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
“Fantastic short stay for our large dog. My dog is shy and can sometimes struggle with new environments. We were given the flexibility of a meet and greet, but even without, the numerous photos were reassuring of my dog’s comfortability in Tina and Rick’s home. I am very appreciative of the updates throughout the day and taking the time to go out on walks. Will definitely be a future customer!”
“This was our first time using Wendy’s service. She was wonderful with our dog. She sent us pictures during his stay to keep us informed of how he’s doing. Her house is immaculate. We felt very comfortable with leaving our fur baby with her as soon as we met her and see her place the first time during the interview process. Thank you for take such good care of our Mater.”
About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child and the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked and tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!
“Flora was the loveliest to me and Carter. From the initial meeting she was so kind, gentle, attentive, and understanding with Carter. She wanted to know the details of his personality and the activities he likes. She left me detailed notes of how their day and evening went and sent professional like photos. She loves walking so I knew Carter would be well exercised, even in the colder weather (which Carter loves). Thank you for the wonderful care!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was a child, and they have always been a very special part of my life. Back home in Thailand, I have four dogs who are truly part of my family. I cared for them from when they were little puppies through their senior years before I moved to the U.S. to study.🫶🏻 . I usually start my day around 7:30 AM, and one of the first things I’ll do is take your pup outside for a morning walk. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have class for about three hours from 9am -12pm. After class, I’m available until around 4:00 PM, when I leave for my part-time job and get home around 8pm. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, I go to work from 11-2pm & 4:30-8pm. I do get a break from 2:30-4, so I’ll be able to come let your pup out for a potty break on those days & I’ll also be able to walk and play if weather permits. I’m off on Saturday & sundays 🏡 My Home & Safety I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy time outside safely. My neighborhood is peaceful and dog-friendly, with many families, children, and dogs around, making it a great environment for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, relaxed, and loved — just like they’re at home. 🐶❤️ To keep my home and neighborhood safe and comfortable for everyone, I currently accept dogs who are: 💉 Up to date on vaccinations 🏠 House-trained 🐾 Spayed or neutered 🚨 Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, health concerns, or special needs I should know about. 🐶🤎
“We had never left Kona overnight before...but she was so comfortable with Susan! And, Susan is an amazing photographer, as well. I absolutely loved getting all the photos! Thank you, Susan, for loving our Kona so much!”
“My little Maltese had a great time at Beth's place. Beth did an outstanding job in keeping him company and sharing daily photos and updates with me. My Maltese mingled well with other dogs at Beth's place. It was also very easy to coordinate drop-off and pick-up with Beth. Would definitely board my dog at Beth's place again.”
“Stephanie kept us updated on Karma regularly, and that put us at ease. She was quick to communicate when Karma had blood in his stools. Thank you Stephanie for taking care of Karma for 2 weeks!!”

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.

She wanted to know the details of his personality and the activities he likes. She left me detailed notes of how their day and evening went and sent professional like photos. She loves walking so I knew Carter would be well exercised, even in the colder weather (which Carter loves). Thank you for the wonderful care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 782 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.
