“Jenna and her family were amazing with our dogs and. They loved spending the time with her. Her communication was extraordinary during our stay. We look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Kelly and George were fantastic during Sophie's stay. From the pictures I could tell Sophie was relaxed, loved, and felt at home from the very first day. Will definitely board the pup with them again!”
“Morgan is the absolute BEST! We don't know what we would do without her and our sweet Frankie absolutely adores her. She treats her like family and provides such amazing peace of mind when we are out of town.”
“Junie comes back happy and healthy! We received lots of great pictures of her walks and hangout time with dog friends. Julia is quick to respond to messages and knows a lot about dog behavior.”
“Joy and Rodney watched my little puppy Ace for a little under a week and they were absolutely wonderful!!! I was very nervous about leaving him for that long and they assured me that he would be fine. They allowed him to interact with the other dogs they were watching and he did well with their monitoring. They sent pictures of him throughout the stay and when I picked him up I could tell he was a little hesitant on leaving lol. Ace Def enjoyed his stay with Joy and Rodney. I would recommend them to anybody they were with absolutely wonderful”
“Lingli was an amazing sitter and cared for my sweet boy with so much care and compassion. While away for a week, I was sent tons of photos and videos during Dill’s stay. I highly recommend Lingli and will definitely continue using services in the future. I know that while I am away, my sweet boy will be in great hands, in a safe environment.”
“Virginia was amazing. Our dog loved being at her house with her two dogs and was thoroughly worn out after playing at her house all day. Will definitely be using Virginia again.”
“Steven was an incredible host for our retired greyhound! He is incredibly communicative, thorough, and clearly cares deeply for his canine guests. He creates the perfect environment for a dog that prefers some peace mad quiet.”
“Outstanding. Highly recommend. I left my two doggies with Lorenzo when I had to go out of town. They came home happy and tired, which is the sign of a great time. He communicated regularly and sent lots of pictures (which I had asked for). Their big yard was fantastic for my energetic Australian Shepherd/Poodle mixes and I had absolutely no concerns about them while I was away.”
“I had a great experience booking with this sitter for my dog Charlie. They took really good care of him, followed all of his instructions, and made sure he received his medication on time. I appreciated the photo updates because it helped me relax and know he was doing well. Charlie came home happy and calm. I would definitely book with them again.”
“We are first time rover users and Rodney and Marissa were amazing! Rocki had a blast because her sitters spoke her love language!! She loves play, being spoiled and the center of attention!! Rodney and Marissa thanks!!! Getting pictures and updates of her in her element while we were away eased our worry and helped us to fully enjoy our trip. I’m so glad Rocki had fun and we look forward to her next stay!! Rodney and Marissa are definitely the new surrogate parents from here out!! Thanks guys”
“Erin was fantastic! My dog is only 5 pounds and can easily slip out of the front door when someone is at the door. Erin was VERY consciences of my concerns and I was very comfortable with her visit even though this was our first time boarding with Erin. You are in good hands with Erin!”
“Our fur babies felt right at home with Will, Adriele and Ringo. We dropped off our 4 year old dog and 5 month old puppy and could tell from all the pup-dates they had a blast. They were very flexible with pick up/ drop off time and were very friendly/knowledgeable. I could tell they read my care instructions by the questions they asked when I dropped off the pups. Will definitely use them again when we go out of town!”
“Amanda was so great with my nervous girl Xena, she provided a safe, loving home for her to stay in. Amanda was also amazing with providing detailed updates and photos. I would give 10 stars if I could.”
“Nichole was great with Cody! Cody is an older dog, and she was so wonderful in looking out for him and his additional needs. We felt comfortable leaving him with her, and we were thrilled to hear that Cody and Prissy got along so well! It was a great match, and we will definitely book with Nichole again in the future.”
“My experience with Fallon was amazing! For my first time booking with her, she made sure to ask all the important questions about my dog Bodhi so that she knew exactly how to care for him. Her knowledge on dog behavior and handling made me confident that she could deal with any problems that might arise (but thankfully there were none)! I also loved the daily updates and photos of Bodhi while I was away. I'll definitely be booking with Fallon again in the future!”
“I am a repeat customer and would describe Sharon has a gem of a sitter!!!! She goes above and beyond to make sure my fur baby has the most outstanding care. She gives me so much comfort and peace of mind when I leave my dog to either stay overnight or just for the day! Thank you for taking care of her!!”
“Andrea is the perfect sitter! I appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and her very calm, personable and welcoming demeanor. Sarge loved being at her house and was already exploring the house by the time I left. Andrea made sure he had all the comforts of home and even got him to sleep in a dog bed that she provided. When I picked him up, he was very content and in no hurry to go home. I have already booked another stay, as I know Sarge will be in good care with Andrea.”

Jason was simply amazing with Oatchi. We had a last minute situation and I had to frantically find someone and I am definitely happy we found him. Took Oatchi on long walks, gave him nice and healthy treats. Oatchi was very happy with him. Definitely recommended.
Aster helped us in a very last minute pinch when our dog sitting plans fell through for an out of town vacation! Our puppy is under a year old and has a leg injury so required some special attention and care. This made us extra nervous to leave her but we received so many wonderful updates throughout our trip. Our pup loved her time away because of how awesome Aster and her family took care of her. We’ll absolutely be booking with them again!
My dog had a wonderful time with Jerry. He was thoughtful, sensitive and caring towards my dog’s needs. I received picture updates for his week long stay and it allowed me to see my dog was happy and cared for . I would recommend Jerry for all animals out there since he treated my dog with so much love and care. It means a lot when people can show that care towards animals.
We’ve always had great experiences with Lingli! Our dog is always so happy to see her, which says a lot. She takes great care of her, and I always get plenty of updates while we’re away, which gives me peace of mind. We really appreciate how well she cares for our dog and would definitely recommend her!
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!!

There are 6,714 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.
