“Thank you for a great stay! We appreciate you working with Bernie to make him comfortaboe during our meet and greet. Our first stay went great and thank you for keeping us updated! We will see you again !”
“Jessica and her family embraced my baby Chase like he was apart of their family. He spent an entire week with her and the experience was amazing. She will be my forever sitter.”
“Thank you soooo much Lia! She really came in clutch with the last minute booking in the middle of a snow storm! Long story short I work at the ER and was expected to stay over at least for 5days to cover outa due to the snow. She accepted “Kash” the day of and treated him so well. How do I know this you ask? Because for one I’ve had other people watch my dog before and he came back to me timid and afraid. So I knew something wasn’t right. But Lia she kept me involved every step of the way and answered whenever I contacted her in record time. If she will have us we will definitely be returning 💕 She’s a true animal lover and it shows😇”
“James was so great with our pup! We are usually wary of having others watch her due to her unsureness with new people and other dogs, but James took such amazing care of her! She got all the care and attention she could possibly want during her time with him, and James kept us informed the whole length of her stay. We highly recommend James!”
“She took amazing care of my Toto. She is by far the best sitter I’ve ever had, and I would absolutely trust her with my dog again in the future. I’m truly grateful.”
“Geovanna was absolutely amazing with my fur babies while I was out of the country! She updated me every single day and sent the sweetest photos of my girls, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My oldest, Cali, can be a bit feisty at times, but Geovanna handled everything so well and I am incredibly grateful. She was also extremely responsive, immediately answering any questions I had. To top it off, when my flight got delayed, she was so understanding and accommodating about extending the time. We all know things happen when traveling, and she made a stressful situation so much easier! I would definitely use Geovanna again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for safe, loving hands for their pets. 🤍🐶”
“My furball enjoyed his stay with Fallon. He got to meet Fallon’s dog Luna (became besties!), learned how to behave while being brushed, had a blast running around in her large backyard. Daily updates with photos while I was traveling for 6 days gave a peace of mind. Highly highly recommend!”
“Felt very comfortable boarding our dog with Nettie. We had a great meet and greet with her and her dogs first which gave us a lot of confidence. Our dog has some special needs and she was very tuned into ensuring he'd have a safe and fun stay. She's incredibly knowledgeable and caring with dogs and provided us with lots of helpful training tips. We received lots of videos of him during his visit and look forward to going back to her again.”
“Lorenzo took exceptional care of our dog during holidays. He was kind, professional, and communicative. He updated us frequently and also shared a lot of photos which made us feel good. Thank you for being so flexible and kind to our dog during holidays. We sincerely look forward to working with you again in the near future.”
“Absolutely YES! Robin made me feel so comfortable with Sweetie’s overnight stay with her. She provided so many videos, I felt like I was there enjoying the pups playing (which was important for me, I did not want Sweetie to be lonely.) Definitely will be using her services again. And the daycare too!”
“Bishoy was wonderful with my dog, Scruffy. He texted several times to let me know how Scruffy was getting along and also sent a photo. She must have felt comfortable at his place because when we came to pick her up we had to call her name for her to come from another room. We would definitely have Bishoy watch our dog again. Also, he was quick to respond to any texts I sent to him.”
“Lorna was great with my fur baby. He is a puppy, so he is still a little hyper, but that did not bother her at all. She sent me updates and pictures and in the pictures, he was doing the same things he does at home so, I know he felt welcomed at her home.”
“Robert and Pam were awesome. We met them and their husky Shiloh and got a gods feeling. We booked an overnight test run and things went great. Sam got a lot of playtime outside and moped all the way home after we picked him up. He was treated like one of the family and is looking forward to returning.”
“Claudia graciously watched our two dogs over the holidays, and we loved her! She was sensitive to their individual needs and quirks and provided such great care. I could tell they had a great time with her as I'm pretty sure they didn't want to leave! 10/10 would recommend and will definitely use her again :)”
“It was wonderful knowing that our dogs were having fun and well cared for! Kelly sent pictures throughout their stay which really eased my worries about them. Would definitely recommend!”
“Steph is the GOAT! Look no further for someone to love and care for your fur baby while you’re away. We are so fortunate to have discovered her on Rover. She is absolutely phenomenal. She was very prompt and thorough in communicating with us. She’s an excellent communicator and extremely caring. We enjoyed receiving pictures of our dog and felt relaxed and at peace knowing he was in her care. We had complete confidence in her and think the world of her.”
“Sean was great a fit for boarding my two girls Xena & Rogue! I went away for 10 days, they both got multiple daily trail walks, a quiet neighborhood, and a great living space on his ground floor. Sean would give a daily update most days with 1-2 photos so I could see they both looked well. I returned to two happy, healthy pups that seemed content being in Sean's home. Thank you Sean!”
“Elisha watched our dog, Lola, for the first time. Elisha took excellent care of Lola for the 3 days she was there. She kept us posted on how Lola was doing, as well as sending pics. Elisha is organized very good about noticing if anything was wrong with Lola. We highly recommend Elisha and would definitely use her again.”

Jason did a fantastic job taking care of my dog and I would recommend him 100%. Jason was highly communicative and I received many picture and video updates. My pup had a great time going on plentiful walks with him. I look forward to booking with Jason again in the future!
Theresa is absolutely fantastic! Our little Jackapoo stayed with Theresa and her daughter for a little over two weeks and we could not have asked for better care. They treated Rocky like one of the family and sent us photos everyday. He looked so happy and clearly adored them both! Thank you Theresa for looking after our little pup so beautifully. We really hope that Rocky can stay with you again in the future. I would 100% recommend Theresa to anybody that is looking for a home away from home for their dog! ❤️🐾
Joy and Rodney took great care of our girls. The older one (13 year old Corgi) was not the most gracious house guest but Joy and Rodney patiently worked with her to make her as comfortable as she could be. We appreciate them reaching out to us for input on steps they could take to make the stay easier for everyone. We loved the numerous photos they shared with us daily.
Jasmine always takes great care of our dog, Coco. She is very communicative and flexible and always sends great updates and pictures throughout the stay. Our dog is always happy to be there and, for these reasons, we have used jasmine's services for over a year whenever we need to leave Coco.
I can’t say enough about how awesome Hao was taking care of Bruno. The communication daily was great as well as the pictures. She made us feel really comfortable and safe that our Bruno was in good hands. If you’re considering a dog sitter i strongly recommend her. Thank you so much!!
Sarah was amazing with Ozzy! He had an unexpected sore spot days before his boarding, she took it in stride, applied medication and made sure he didn’t mess with it. She provided daily updates with photos and videos and texts on how he was doing. My only hesitation with leaving a 5star review is that she’ll be booked the next time we need a sitter! Thank you Sarah!!
Highly recommend Vanessa! Very responsive during before sitting my dog and was very flexible about the timing of dropping her off. During her care I thought I might have to delay picking up my dog or having her stay an extra night and Vanessa was more than willing to accommodate my needs. Would stay with her again!
Katherine was wonderful to work with and took great care of my dog during a 10-night stay. She was able to accommodate a last-minute booking request, which I greatly appreciated. My dog returned happy, healthy, and well cared for, and I felt confident that she was in good hands. Katherine was friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I would gladly book with her again and recommend her to other pet parents looking for a reliable sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Columbia on Rover is $54.39 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 6,661 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Columbia. About 91% of Columbia sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
