“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!”
“Kathy took great care Cosmo. He had only recently started taking medications and she watched me give him his pills the morning I dropped him off so she would be able to give him his twice daily pills every day. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care.”
“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!”
“Anna took such great care of my dogs. They’re both anxious but she made them feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates daily without me asking for them and I really appreciated that. I drove 30 min knowing they would be in good hands. I would def recommend Anna! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻”
“Takia was great. Kerefa had tummy issues caused by her new food we started her on which Takia consulted a vet and resolved the issue by cooking rice & chicken. Kerefa seemed healthy and happy when she came home. Also, even though I was out of the country Takia kept communicating with us by texting & sending us pictures of Kerefa. Thank you again Takia we will definitely use your services anytime we need.”
“Tara was very responsive to my inquiries and helped me on an immediate need. She sent me updates and pictures during Legend’s stay. He was ready to get home to his Daddy, but I’m sure he enjoyed his stay with Tara and her family.”
“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!”
“Natalia and her home were a perfect fit for our Frindal. He was loved and cared for as if he was part of the family. Natalia did a fantastic job of sharing daily news and photos of Frindal and made us feel at ease knowing he was having a good time at her house. Interacting and playing with other dogs was a bonus for us as Frindal loves to play with new fiends. We are so appreciative of Natalia's care and accommodations for Frindal and our family. Highly recommend her care.”
“Lana did a great job looking after my dogs for the long weekend! She sent photos and kept me up to date with how they were doing. One of my dogs needs medication twice a dog which was administered. There is a lot of space on her property for playing and my dogs had lots of fun!”
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. 🐶🤎

They were incredibly attentive and did everything they could to make sure my dog felt comfortable and safe throughout the stay. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend them as compassionate, loving and reliable care-givers!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.

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.
95% of Shaker Heights 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 Shaker Heights 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 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.
