“My dog was legitimately depressed having to leave Kathy and Grahame. They treated her like she was their own and was spoiled like a princess. They provided daily updates and pictures which I appreciated and made me worry a lot less knowing she was going on adventures. We will use them again in the future for boarding. Couldn't recommend more, your dog will be in good hands!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!!!”
About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.
“Tara and Peter are great dog sitters! I received pictures and update daily. The pups were treated like family pets. I would definitely leave my pups with them in the future.”
“Colleen was so great with our dog while we were away! She provided nice updates throughout the trip and was very thorough in collecting information to provide the best care for our dog. 5-star dog sitter!”
About: Hey there! I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life since the age of 5 and have always deemed myself to be a patient and loving care-taker. I’m my friends first call whenever they need some extra pet-related help. Genuinely would have several fur babies of my own if I could, so I figured this would be the next best option. I have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, and can step away for walks as long as I don’t have conflicting meetings. I’m available for boarding during the week and on weekends! Overall pretty flexible schedule. I don’t have any pets at home and live in an apartment by myself. Therefore can devote my full attention on your pet! Although I don’t have a yard, I do have parks and grass areas nearby.
“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.”
“Stephanie was awesome! She let me bring Ruby out to meet her and her husband before the stay. Ruby enjoyed her 2 dogs and stephanie even sent me pictures the whole stay!”
“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!”
“Jenna was so awesome!! Very communicative and responsive with scheduling, sent lots of pics and updates throughout each day, had a beautiful and safe home for my dog to play and relax. He even came home with a new toy!! Absolutely would recommend.”
“This was our first time using the service. Summer kept us up to date and send pics of our girl. She communicated with us in a timely manner and did an awesome job keeping us informed!”
“Seymour is my shadow at home and we were nervous how he would do with the separation anxiety of a week away from us. He had an absolute BLAST staying with Tongyezhi and her family. He got walks, romps in the fenced in back yard and plenty of snuggle time. We got lots of incredible pictures which was great peace of mind knowing we didn't have to worry about him missing home. Tongyezhi is the absolute best and we will always go to her for any future boarding.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shaker Heights
My wife and I had to travel out of town for a weekend, and we needed to find someone to board our gentle, 75 lbs Bernedoodle, Julius, with. We discovered Tongyezhi on Rover -- and are we glad we did! Julius just LOVED Tongyezhi and her family! He got to play with their dog and their young son and had the time of his life. Tongyezhi was extremely thoughtful and sent us many photos and videos of Julius while we were away. We will definitely be booking Tongyezhi for any future boardings.
Lana was absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for Lucky. From the beginning, she was kind, attentive, and very easy to communicate with. She regularly sent me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to see that Lucky was comfortable, happy, and being well cared for throughout his stay. It was clear that Lana treated Lucky with a lot of affection, patience, and attention. Leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, but she made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring. When I picked Lucky up, he looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m truly grateful for everything she did and would not hesitate to leave Lucky with her again in the future. I highly recommend Lana to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Lucky!
Another wonderful stay for my pups. This was the first longer stay for my pup, Teddy and he can be nervous with new people. Seeing pictures of him playing with the other pups and cuddling with Susan and Jason made me so happy. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful sitter for my two dogs.
she always does such a great job and is so amazing about keeping you in the loop and updated, i was away for about 11 days and i have a puppy and a senior pup and her and Colt (her pup) were such amazing sitters and were so great with both of my pups for the long stay 🐾 🦴 💜

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 Shaker Heights 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 Shaker 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 Shaker 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 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.
