“Kelly was great! The property Leo stayed with her was big and spacious with lots of space to run around. her dogs adapt well to other animals and Leo soon became part of the pack. He was happy and healthy when we picked him up and didn't see nervous or traumatized at all. Kelly was great about sending picture and updates to us while we were away.”
“Alexis and her husband are kind people who are obvious animal lovers. I love that she only takes in one pet at a time to reduce my girl’s stress being away from home. My Russell loved playing with her kitties and I enjoyed the photo updates she provided—they treated my pup as their own. Very grateful for them and their help, this rebooking!”
“I love that every time we leave tank with them I never have to worry about him! They take care of him and love him like he’s their own!! Great communication!”
“Billie provided exceptional communication throughout my dog’s stay, particularly when handling an unexpected marking issue. She sent detailed updates about my dog’s behavior and daily activities, which proved especially valuable when the unusual marking behavior began. Since my dog had never exhibited this behavior before, the sitter’s thorough observations and frequent updates helped us quickly determine that a vet visit was necessary. What impressed me most was her attentiveness and detailed documentation of my dog’s behavior changes. She sent regular photos and updates, activity levels, and any concerning changes. When the marking incident occurred, she immediately reached out and provided clear information about the situation.”
“Great. Drop off and pickup was super easy and Daisy came home super tired after playing all day. We did a 1day to see how it went and rebooked a week after feeling so good. She’s my best friend, and I can’t imagine dropping her off at a kennel for a week, this was a great option for us. Would recommend Kara to anyone.”
“Our Willow was so well cared for this weekend by Lauren and her family! They kept her usual routine even sharing scrambled eggs at breakfast. She was happy and comfortable her whole stay. I loved all the updates and pictures. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!!”

“Patience saved us on short notice, and I really appreciated how sweet and accommodating she was. We were out of town for an outdoor event and brought along our pets for the day. Oddly the venue was not allowing pets like in years past (I think due to COVID). I sent Patience a last minute booking request on a whim (very early AM) based on her other positive reviews, and she responded right away. She was so sweet to us despite us waking her up with our Rover call due to an urgent need. Patience place is great for dogs to be out and run and play. She let us know that our typically lazy boy Frankie spent most of the day zooming around her yard and playing, so I know they had a good time. Patience also has 2 dogs that got along great with my 2, so it was great time for them to play and socialize for several hours. We were relieved to find Patience, and my family was able to enjoy the event knowing our pups were also having a great time. Thank you Patience!!”
“Rose was amazing for Kimba! She took really great care of her and was very accommodating to our early and late schedule for this trip. The pictures were great too.”
“Emma was absolutely phenomenal, flexible and took the best care of my pups. They had a great time with her dogs and i could tell they had a great time. Would love for her to watch my pups again. She even made them home made goodies! And send a bunch of updates. Im grateful for her”
“Sheree was amazing with our dog, Vader! She sent us beautiful pictures of him and he seemed so happy! She is warm and welcoming, and you can tell she loves on the dogs that she hosts in her homes. She was wonderful!”
“Donna is such a lovely and kind person and took excellent care of our dog. He is shy, timid and cautiously friendly but it didn’t take him too long at all to start trusting her and getting comfortable! Donna kept us updated with texts and photos throughout his stay. We felt completely at ease knowing he was with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“My dog Sadi had a great time at Mary's house with her family. She got lots of cuddles and play time throughout the week. Mary always responded quickly to messages and sent many pictures of Sadi throughout the week. Would definitely recommend!”

Sarah was outstanding in every way! Kodi was in excellent hands and treated like family with her. We are so thankful to have met her.

There are 618 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Columbia. About 95% 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.

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 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 PA 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.
