I have left my 2 pups w Sally, many times, short and longer stays. Sally is THE best caregiver. They are happy to go and in good health when I return. Being in Sally’s home, helps me enjoy the time away. I highly recommend Sally’s care! Jo

From the moment Finn & I met Betsy, at our meet and greet, I knew Finn would be well cared for. A people dog, Finn settled right into Betsy’s home and her care, which made my time away from him worry-free! Every aspect, from booking to pickup, went smoothly.

Lauren and her family took Doug in as if he was their own. I recieved updates and plenty of pictures of Doug playing with their puppy Cinder, who is an absolute sweetheart. There is absolutely no doubt that I will be booking with Lauren and her family again.

My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!

Reggie spent an entire week with John, Shannon and their family! He had so much fun that I was afraid he would be depressed when he got home!! Daily walks, lots of fetch, played well with their dog and others that were there. We had multiple daily updates and pictures. Truly very thankful for the care he received. They treated him like their own and made us feel so comfortable while we were gone. Can't thank you all enough! We will definitely reach out the next time we are out of town!!

Jessica was amazing with my dog, Dude! This was my first time ever using Rover so I was obviously a little anxious about leaving him with someone I didn't know but she made me feel very comfortable with everything and sent me lots of pictures and updates the entire week I was away to make me feel at ease! Dude seemed to be very comfortable at her place and loved that she took him on many walks! I would love to use Jessica's services again in the future. Thank you so much!

Oh my!! Will and Bibiana, are the absolute best! We called them literally at the last minute made a booking they accepted the booking for our Charlie. This couple is awesome!!!! Very nice, very friendly, immediate welcome our Charlie with his disability into their home. They showed no hesitation to just make him feel welcome. Very professional , house is a place that you would want your very family taken care of. Our dog Charlie is a special needs dog. They didn’t even hesitate to say that they would take care of him as we had a funeral for my husband‘s uncle today in Cincinnati. Thank you, thank you, thank you Will and your lovely wife. We appreciate you so very much and we will be booking with you again! If you’re looking for a great place for your extended furry family consider Will and his lovely wife Bibiana. I HIGHLY recommend them! I love that they sent us videos of Charlie sitting in the window, watching the cars go by along with another dog and they was just having a good greatest time just looking out the window although our Charlie was barking at everything he saw, but the other dog tend to look at him and say, what are we looking at bud.🤣🤣

I received updates throughout the week and Abigail was very organized in helping make sure my dog has everything he needed to have a good visit. He was also sound asleep when I brought him home within 5 minutes from all the playtime. Definitely recommend and I will use again myself!

I absolutely do not worry about Luna at all when she stays at Shanelle’s house, and that is saying something! I know Luna is happy, enriched, and loved. I couldn’t ask for anything more!

Above and beyond all my expectations‼️ It made my day every day I was gone to see pics and videos of my kiddos. I didn’t have to worry about them at all‼️ Carly even sent me messages double checking a couple of thing‼️ My kiddos can be high maintenance with attention (and sleeping) so I greatly appreciated Carly’s patience with them‼️ I could tell they had a great time because when I picked them up they were completely relaxed and happy‼️ I could not have asked for better - Carly is the best‼️‼️‼️

Houix If this rover is amazing, I mean from the start to the fitness very communicative and also she even has the option to even pick your dog up if you’re not able to have transportation. She loves dogs and she was sending you videos and pictures throughout the day, of her interacting and playing with your dog. Along with her other dog she has herself. my flight even got delayed, so I had to extend my reservation one more day, and she had no problem with allowing lyrics to stay an extra day. I highly recommend having her watch or board your dog whenever you need somebody to help with watching your dog.

Andrea was great with my dog chumley. She made sure to send lots of pictures of him throughout the day which was helpful for me to see how he was doing. When weather prevented me from getting back on time, she remained flexible and was able to extend the booking and pulled food from her own supply to make sure Chum remained fed. I'm very pleased with how things went and I look forward to working with her in the future.

This was our first time ever booking a rover or boarding for our dog Jersi and Emily made it a great experience! She was very communicative, shared lots of pictures of Jersi, and kept us updated on how she was doing. We are so thankful that Jersi was left in such good care with Emily and a bonus that Emily’s own fur baby was there to play with Jersi during her stay. We 100% recommend Emily and will definitely be using her again in the future.

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like a(n):
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll through downtown Columbus’ Short North Arts District
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
For approved off-leash play, sitters may take pups to dog parks, such as Scioto Audubon Dog Park or Wheeler Memorial Dog Park. Have a dog who likes to join in on errands? Choose a sitter who lives close to dog-friendly locations like BrewDog Franklinton or Seventh Son Brewing in Italian Village.
Need more routine stability? We recommend house sitting as a service for dogs who are sensitive to change. House sitting in Columbus, OH averages $45 per night.
