“Apryl kept me updated with lots of pictures throughout my dog’s visit. She even took my dog for a hike! My dog was welcomed by Apryl’s entire family and I’m so thankful to have found her! Will definitely use again!”
“From the moment I met Barbara I knew my pet would be safe with her. Skai took to her right away. Her home was peaceful and welcoming. Barbara kept me updated- assuring me our dog was doing well. I will definitely use her services again.”
“We recently left our dog Max for the first time with Swetha and her family while we were away on vacation. Swetha took great care of him and sent us regular picture and video updates. Max clearly had a great time at her house playing with the other dogs and cuddling in the couch with her family. Additionally, it was Max’s birthday while we were away and Swetha was kind enough to buy him a soft toy that he loves to play with. If you are considering a place to board your dog I highly recommend Swetha.”
“Stacie and Doug took great care of our little guy! They provided regular updates and pictures while we were away. I would highly recommend them to anyone and plan to use them again in the future. Thank you!”
“Lynn went above and beyond while watching my two senior chihuahuas- I wasn’t worried once while I was away from them for a trip out of town because of her daily updates with photos, videos and funny stories about their day. I can’t say enough nice things about Lynn and how comfortable she made me feel with leaving my pups with her! Absolutely recommend, and will be using her services again in the future!”
“My boys always love staying with Michael and Regina, and we love knowing that they will have the best time during their stay. They always send tons of pictures, and treat my boys like their own”
“Jeffany was wonderful! She was incredibly easy to work with. Blue and I did a meet and greet prior to booking. Her house is spacious and good for dogs. I will definitely be using her again! Thanks!”
“A perfect stay for our pup - Jim and Kathy are the real deal - kind and paid attention to our dog in a way that feels like family. Our dog is very lucky and so are we!”
“Shannon and Robert were absolutely wonderful! Their family is so kind, and their children were great with Henry. He settled in right away and honestly didn’t seem like he wanted to leave when we picked him up. They kept him active all day, so he came home happy and completely worn out (in the best way!). We’d absolutely trust them with Henry again and look forward to booking with them in the future.”
“Kato is a big dog, and was well tended and rarely left alone. The fenced-in yard allowed him plenty of safe exercise. We got regular photos and updates to keep us from any worries about him. Sitter was very flexible with last minute changes to drop off and pick up times.”
“Katherine is amazing! Biscuit loved her and her dog!! He had the best time and she kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages! I will absolutely recommend her to my family and friends and will be using her services again! Thank you Katherine!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 20 years. As a neonatal nurse practitioner, providing attentive, compassionate care is part of who I am, and I bring that same level of responsibility and love to every pet I watch. I’m the proud owner of Kona, my friendly 9-year-old Lab/Shar-Pei mix, and I have two young children who have grown up around dogs and are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m available most days of the week and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“This was our first time leaving Stash for an extended period of time. We certainly would not have enjoyed our time if it weren’t for that fact that we knew he would be loved and cared for by Kathy as if he were her own. Kathy sent pictures and updates every day and you could see how comfortable he was there with her.”
“Rachel and her mom took care of my pet, they are excellent people and treated my dog very well, I got photos every day of Billy. they have a beautiful house with a fence, they are a beautiful family. I will use your services again...”
“If I could give Katlyn 10 stars, I absolutely would! Leaving my Izzi behind while traveling for work isn’t easy, but Katlyn gave me something truly priceless, peace of mind. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease knowing Izzi was in such loving, capable hands. It’s one thing to have someone watch your dog, but it’s something entirely different to find someone who genuinely cares for your dog as if she were their own. That’s the kind of care Katlyn provides. I never had to worry, and that feeling alone meant the world to me. When someone is entrusted with a little piece of your heart, you hope they’ll understand just how much that responsibility means. Katlyn absolutely does. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is truly a gem, and Izzi and I are so lucky to have found her!”
About: I got my first puppy for my 10th birthday. She was entirely my responsibility. I fed, bathed, and trained her. She was a huge white shepherd and the sweetest thing on paws I still miss her. Since then, I’ve had many, many dogs and cats through the years. I’ve been through dog training school several times. I currently have three full-sized Goldendoodles who are reasonably well trained, although they are still way too friendly. I’m retired and available about any day except Sunday afternoons: noon church service. I get my groceries delivered, so I’m here most of the time. I try to walk one of mine every day, weather permitting. I would walk your pup before I walk mine. I also have a fenced-in back yard where the dog run and play. My house is dog friendly, and I’m not overly concerned with dirt. I also have the world’s best vacuum cleaner to deal with it and all the hair. lol I have a large fenced-in back yard with river rock instead of grass, so mud is not a problem. My three friendly Doodles love racing around, especially in the snow, and they would love to add your dog to the fun. At the end of the day, we all go upstairs and sleep in my room with a baby-gate blocking the door, so there is no house roaming overnight. I also have room for crates if that’s what your dog needs to feel comfortable. I have one cat who is comfortable around dogs and knows where to hide if necessary. Please have your dog be familiar with cats or at least won’t attack her if she tries to make friends. I can accommodate special diets and know how to use a pill gun for medications.
“Renee and Mark are dog lovers, and made Lola very comfortable during her stay. I appreciated the pupdates and pictures to let me know my baby girl was being well taken care of. Lola will definitely be back! Thanks again :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbia Station
This was our first time leaving Kylo with someone other than family. We couldn't have found a better person to care for him! David treated Kylo like his own and his communication is outstanding. We received 30 photos during the few days we were gone, which really helped put our minds at ease. Kylo hadn't had prior experience with other dogs off leash and he absolutely loved David's goldendoodle, Cocoa. David also carefully picks who he will watch and makes sure that the dogs have the same temperament. That is important to us, since our dog is small and somewhat timid. Overall, we had a great first experience and hope we are lucky enough to book David every time! Kylo agrees!
I took my dog, Mike, to David for an overnight stay because she gets nervous around new people and I would like her to be more comfortable in new situations. David and his family treated Mika like family and allowed her to gradually grow comfortable in her new surroundings. I highly recommend David -- caring, professional and knowledgeable. I be taking Mika back multiple times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Columbia Station is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 731 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Columbia Station. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Columbia Station can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Columbia Station home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Columbia Station.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Columbia Station sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
