“Lexi stayed with Pamela & Marshall for over a month, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! They sent us regular videos and photos, answered every question we had, and took amazing care of her. They are truly experienced and caring people — you can leave your pet with them without a second thought. Lexi felt completely at home and made so many new friends! We are very thankful for everything and will definitely come back again!”
“We never have to worry when Tommy is at his home away from home. I know that I can leave him and he will be loved as though he were with me. We always appreciate the pictures and little notes. This stay was unique in that I had to contact Kathy and request to extend Tommy's stay because of a family member's health. Kathy was so accommodating and without hesitation kept Tommy two extra days. Tommy is already looking forward to his next "vacation"! Five stars is not enough!!!”
“Susan is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. I miss them just a little less because I know they are safe and having fun with Susan. We are so lucky to have found her! We love you, Susan! Be our Valentine. Can’t thank you enough!!!!”
“Honey loved being at karmas all weekend! She got treated so well and got to make a ton of new friends. I enjoyed the pictures of honey playing with the other dogs while I was on vacation. We’ll be back!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“This was my 1st time boarding my dogs and I couldn’t have been happier with Kyle and his wife. I got daily updates and pictures. I could tell my babies were at ease from the very beginning and I have found my dog sitters!!!!!”
“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.”
“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”
“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!”
“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“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 are sooo pleased with the great service Tove and Gerald provided. They really made Levi part of their family while he was there. We will not hesitate asking them to watch our precious boy again!”
“When my girls are with Katie I know they are safe, happy, and healthy! They play and cuddle like true champions. I’m so pleased with Katie. Couldn’t be more thankful!”
“Kaitlyn took wonderful care of Kaya while we were away on a weekend trip. She sent lots of pictures and updates and we were so glad to have the peace of mind that she was safe and happy while we were away. :) Thanks again, Kaitlynn!”
“Brandon is a phenomenal dog sitter! He was absolutely wonderful with my high maintenance Dane, Finn. He sent daily updates with pictures and videos that put my mind at ease. Finn clearly took a liking to Brandon and loved all of the love, attention, activities he provided. I would 100% recommend Brandon and definitely plan to use him in the future”
“This was our first opportunity for to board our boy Henry with Flora and wow! - it was a 5 star experience! For example, Flora paid close attention as we reviewed the written notes re feeding and meds - and she asked questions and added her own notes to the instructions - that was a first! Numerous walks, video of playtime, flexibility with arrangements, forming a relationship with Henry - she is wonderful. We look forward to boarding with Flora in the future and have confidence it will be another great experience.”

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 August 2026, there are 787 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.
