“I highly recommend Isabella. She has been in touch with me to update me with pictures and videos of my dogs. They are back home happily and thoroughly enjoyed their stay at her house. They will definitely be back to use her for my future dog boarding needs.”

“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our Maltese. She sent lots of pictures and updates. It was nice for me to leave town and not worry about our dogs well being. Thanks Amanda ??”
“Pam knows what she’s doing! My dogs are excitable and can be a handful—but I was able to leave them in an ideal setting AND with perfect confidence that they would be well-taken care of. <<Highly recommend>> Thanks, Pam! 🤗”

“Cody was awesome. We have a large male German shepherd who is scared of his own shadow and he gave Cody a run for his money the first few days. Cody was very accommodating and took him a day early so we could leave for our vacation early. He sent me a picture just about every day. Communication was an A plus, We messaged everyday and he was quick to reply back. Very friendly. I know they went for some very long walks which my boy needed and loved. Thank you Cody. Your fur babies will be in Excellent hands, safe and well taken care of with the very nice young man.”

“Amazing stay for our pup Grace …. thanks for keeping her safe when the leash broke. I can only imagine what that must have felt like for you. Next stay Grace will be on an e-collar, but she will respond to a leash as well. It’s more of a tickle prompt to get her attention for no pulling on the leash. Thanks so much for loving out pup.”

“Michelle was fantastic! She has kept my pups on several occasions, and they were almost always on super short notice, but she came through every time. I have an elderly dog who has had multiple knee operations, that can be very anxious in new environments, and a husky that can be more than a handful at times, but Michelle is amazing and is able to meet their individual needs beyond what anyone could expect from a dog sitter. She is organized and professional and you can tell right off the bat how much she cares for all of the dogs that she cares for. I am so thankful to have her to take care of my pups when I can’t. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter.”

About: I've had dogs all my life, but grew up loving animals of all kinds. I have previously done pet check-ins and dog walks on Rover. I did not do in-house sitting, in order to keep my house my senior dog's safe space. But I lost my best friend after 17 1/2 years, and am missing the friendship and companionship in my home. I have been helping a local rescue with short term fostering when one of their fosters goes on vacation, as well as holiday fostering with Williamson County Animal Center. I would like to slowly open my home to new furry dog friends. I am familiar with senior dog issues and giving medications in pill and powder form, however, I don't have experience with injections, so I would not be the best fit if your pet requires those. I work at home full time during the week 7:00-4:00. Although I am home during the day and mostly available, I do have meetings throughout the day and can get pulled into conference calls, so I am not always instantly available and will need a little notice to book or cancel so that I can make sure I see your message and have availability when you drop off/pick up. I am open on how to best care for your pet based on your needs. I know from having a senior dog they all have their little quirks that make each one different. Do they have special food or special needs? Please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate them. I just lost my best fur friend after 17 1/2 years, so I am looking for other fur friends to love on. I work full time from home, and am mostly available when not in meetings/calls. I would like to meet/call pet parents before their pet's first booking and get as much information and instruction as possible. I want to make sure that the pet parent's expectations are met.
“Kane was very well taken care of with Daniel. They went above and beyond for my sweet boy. He enjoyed being with the other dogs and going on walks. I appreciate the time spent making sure my pup was well taken care of while we were away. Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of family’s pets and friend’s pets. I can care for small to large dogs by going for walks, potty breaks, feeding them, and having playtime. I’m currently very flexible, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I take bookings that usually range from mid-morning to night. I can’t bring pets to my house as my cats are territorial. I know how to do basic grooming on cats, I will always make sure to clean up any messes that I or a pet makes, and I will give your pet as much attention as he or she needs
“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!”

“Katie took excellent care of Princess and Gizmo at her home! When we picked up the dogs they were happy to see us, but also sadden to leave their vacation and new friends behind. Gizmo and Princess had other boxers to play with and they all got along splendidly. Katie was patient and empathetic in dealing with Gizmo's puppy inconsistencies and I truly thank her for tolerating them. When we go out of town again, we will definitely leave Gizmo and Princess in Katie's care again! Thank you, Katie and to "all" that helped care for our boxers!”

“Anita was great. I get nervous leaving Gracie when I travel and she put me at ease too. I loved seeing the video of Gracie exploring the yard and being so happy. Absolutely will reach back out when I travel again.”

“We are so happy to have found Sharon to watch our goldendoodle puppy. She took the best care of our dog while we were away. We were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our little guy was in such good hands. I also loved the daily photo and video updates we got while we were away. We will definitely book with Sharon again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia
Couldn’t have been a better experience! Alex and his wife were so warm and welcoming. Their dog Archie was so sweet and my dog blue loved him! He didn’t want to come home 😆 Alex was wonderful with giving me updates and photos which I appreciated! I never worried if Blue was doing okay and that alone is huge. I will absolutely be booking with Alex again and again!

Shelby was wonderful to work with! She took Axel on daily walks and sent us lots of pictures and videos keeping up comforted that Axel was safe and happy while we were away. I will definitely use Shelby as our sitter again and highly recommend her to anyone else.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Columbia on Rover is $35.52 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 343 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 TN 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.
