Pet Boarding in Columbia

“My husky had an amazing time! Great host family super kind and patient with my boy. I had to push the pickup time slightly due to travel timing and they were able to work with me! Much appreciation.”

About: Hi, I'm Kaitlyn! I recently said goodbye to my Australian Shepherd after 12.5 wonderful years together. She was with me through so many seasons of life, and caring for her from puppyhood through her senior years only deepened my love and appreciation for dogs. While I'm not quite ready to welcome another dog of my own into the family, I would love the opportunity to care for yours. I know that pets are family. I know what it's like to worry about them when you're away, to miss them while you're gone, and to want the absolute best care for them. That's why I strive to create a home where dogs feel safe, comfortable, loved, and included. I have previous Rover experience with a 5-star rating and have cared for dogs with a variety of personalities, needs, and routines. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I take the time to get to know them as an individual and provide the care that makes them happiest. My family enjoys opening our home to furry guests, and every dog who stays with us is treated with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I would want for my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely loves dogs and understands just how much they mean to the people who love them. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I work a flexible schedule and spend part of my week working from home, which allows me to provide companionship, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. On office days, I work standard business hours, but I make sure pets receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection before and after work. My family enjoys having dogs around, so your pet will have lots of love and attention during their stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. We currently do not have any pets of our own, allowing me to focus my attention on the dogs in my care. Dogs are treated like family in our home and are welcome on the furniture if that's what they're used to. While we do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised. We have a secure tie-out area in front of our townhouse where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and sunshine, and there is a dog park directly across from our home for exercise and play. For crate-trained dogs, we have built-in kennel spaces available to help maintain their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications and following any special instructions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

“Amanda was friendly and took great care of Stevie and Hildy. She was flexible on pick up and drop off and kept us informed with updates and photos. Our dogs are good and tired from all the fun playtime with Amanda's crew! Thank you!”

“Marcus was the perfect choice for keeping our senior dog. He was so attentive. He cared for Rex like he would his own dog. He sends pictures and updates frequently. When issues arose, Marcus reached out immediately and asked for guidance and offered assistance. I was able to fully relax and enjoy our family trip knowing that Marcus was keeping Rex exercised, fed and cuddled.”

“Michele and her family were fantastic! They took the time to get to know my fur baby and it was obvious from the start that they cared for him like their own! Opie loved their fenced in backyard and playing with the kids. He slept the entire day after pick up! Will definitely be using them in the future!”

Taylor P.

“I couldn’t be more thankful for Isabell and her lovely family! They were incredibly flexible and accommodating when I needed a dog sitter for my dog, Phoebe, on short notice. Their communication was excellent throughout, keeping me updated and giving me peace of mind. Phoebe had an amazing time at their place and came back happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend Isabell to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

About: I am a passionate animals lover with 10+ years of hands-on experience working in veterinary hospitals, boarding facilities and animald ERs. I have cared for dogs of all breeds and temperaments and am comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats when needed. I currently work from home with the flexibility to do other things through out my day. I choose to fill that or my free time taking care of animals! I have a fenced yard and a clean safe home for your pets to play, roam, feel safe and comfortable. I no longer have pets of my own.

“Cody did an amazing job watching Chimi for 6 nights. He was very responsive to my messages, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of Chimi while we were gone.”

Tom L.

“Charlie had so much fun with Alexis and her family! He especially enjoyed bonding with his new buddy Finn! We appreciated receiving multiple daily pictures and even an occasional video of our silly boy Charlie (age one). He made himself right at home napping on the sofa, taking over the toy basket and enjoying the bed and crate Alexis provided for him. The large fenced yard was his playground while we were away and we could attend to family business and travel without any worry whatsoever! We are grateful to have found this excellent Rover family, especially considering our trip was very "last-minute" with little opportunity for planning in advance. We highly recommend Alexis for your fur-baby family!”

Kristin R.

“Katie is wonderful! I was so worried about leaving my animals since I’ve never gone out of town without them! She was extremely flexible and took amazing care of my pups. I won’t book with anyone else on rover. Thank you again Katie!!!”

Ashley Y.

“Kylie was such a wonderful sitter!! She took the time to meet our dog Gucci ahead of time and right away he felt at home. I knew when we left for our family trip that Gucci would be in great hands. While we were gone she provided updates with pictures and when I came to pick him up, I could tell he had a wonderful time. From now on, Kylie will be my go to sitter! ❤️”

Rachael S.

“Sherri is my IDEAL sitter for my precious baby doggy. Sherri is very willing to accommodate my wish for several photos each day, and even sends videos too. I honestly feel totally confident that my dog is being loved, protected, and attentively cared for by kind people in a lovely, clean home, in a great neighborhood, while I'm away. One of my favorite perks with Sherri is that she takes Tallie on walks, which is so helpful and healthy.”

Janeen D.

“Tifaney and her family took great care of our dog Maggie last week. This was our first time leaving her with anyone else and all the photo updates showed she had a great time. We will use her again!”

Teresa M.

“Michelle was great! I was out of town for several days and always got a quick response when I checked on Missy. Although I did not specifically request it, she sent numerous photos of my girl during her stay. If I ever have need of boarding again, Michelle will definitely be a the top of my list.”

Daniel R.

“Karri is awesome! Very caring; great communication. I never worried that my pup was in good hands. She took special care to ensure my pet was well cared for and helped her through separation anxiety.”

Gretchen H.

“If I could give 10 stars I would. Jackie is the BEST! We left our pup with her while we were on vacation and couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We got regular updates and pictures. She loved our pup like her own and we felt very comfortable while we were gone and didn't worry about a thing. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!”

Samantha H.

“Sharon and her husband Tim are awesome! Our 5 year old grumpy Maltipoo took to them instantly and they assured us he was doing well with daily photos. Bailey can’t wait to go back!”

Bill C.

“Heather and her family took such good care of our dog while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures and we could tell our dog was loved on the whole time!”

Becky R.

“Brian and Tara were fantastic! They were incredibly responsive to messages and flexible to accommodate our travel details and a meet & greet. They have an excellent set-up, and our dog was in great hands. We particularly appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and videos! We will definitely use them again!”
