“Albie had a great stay with Anwar! He looked happy and content in the photos Anwar sent while we were away, and he even came home with noticeably improved mealtime manners. We would definitely send Albie back to the “farm” again!”
“First time use Rover and had a fantastic experience with Emeline! Great communication, Emeline was always quick to reply, and constantly check in with us, and we scheduled a visit before boarding. Emeline is very patient and truly loves animals, and she bought our puppy treat and gave him plenty of toys to play with, I can see that my puppy was happy!”
“Kathleen took great care of our 11 year old dog Luke! She provided us with updates and pictures daily. We felt very comfortable while away and will definitely us her for future needs.”
“Lincy did an amazing job watching our high-energy dog, Romeo, over the holidays! She made sure Romeo stayed active during his stay and took him on frequent trips to the dog park (his favorite!) and on long walks. We loved Lincy’s updates, videos, and photos. She was attentive to Romeo’s needs and noticed a developing rash, which she reached out to us about promptly to resolve as well. We would use Lincy as a sitter again in a heartbeat!”
“Leanne & Mark are awesome! This was my first experience using Rover. My previous dog sitter got a cat, which my Chloe is not a fan of, so I had to find another option. I found Leanne’s profile and she seemed like the perfect match for my Chloe. She made my vacation enjoyable by texting me pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Leanne and I will be booking with her again for my next trip.”
“We knew from the moment Maggie stepped foot inside Meghan’s home that she felt safe and loved. I was amazed at the number of photos and updates that greeted me everyday. Maggie looked super happy and comfortable. Meghan is not only the ultimate puppy sitter; she’s a compassionate soul. I couldn’t imagine leaving Maggie with anyone else.”
“Thank you so much for your love and support for Poppy. She has been pampered by you guys. Thanks for all the regular updates and also accommodating us to change the schedule as needed due to unforseen events. We really cherish this and feel at peace that she is in safe hands.”
“Borey was such a great dog sitter. She updated me at least 5 times a day with pictures and videos. Made me feel like my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”
“Kristen took great care of our dog Merlin! She was new to us and he seemed to settle right in and enjoyed having the company of a kid since he was used to a kid at home.”
“Megan did a wonderful job looking after my dog Flicker. She created a safe and fun environment where Flicker could be very comfortable. Although Flicker was shy at first, Megan made him feel right at home with new friends and even got this picky boy to eat! I really appreciated her daily updates with pictures. I would gladly leave Flicker with her again.”
“Absolutely WONDERFUL. I literally have no words to describe how amazing Traci and Jeffery’s care was for Apollo. They are so sweet and kind and treated my dog as their own. They kept me updated on his activities and behaviors. They were so incredibly accompanying to his medical needs. They are such lovely people to talk with as well. They are very communicative and on top of the job. If you need care for your dog. Hire Traci and Jeffery!”
“I adopted my dog Kira this year who has a rare esophagus disorder. She has numerous challenges with this condition and I knew I would never find a boarding facility that could properly and safely care for her if I traveled. I became depressed, rarely leaving or having an afternoon out without rushing home to care for her. When I discovered Lindsay on Rover.com and learned that she was a vet tech, I finally had some hope that I found a dogsitter that could care for my special needs girl. Lindsay watched Kira on an overnight stay and I'm thrilled and so grateful for the wonderful care she received! I knew upon meeting Lindsay, that Kira would be in safe hands. She sent updates and photos throughout the day...Kira was so well taken care of and enjoyed her stay. I'm so thankful to you Lindsay...you've made a world of difference for Kira and I. 💜🩷”
“Sonia took great care of our pet snowy. Glad that we found her close to our home in SB. She constantly follow up with day to day updates. Funny snowy eat his food at Sonia’s care better then we is. Will be reaching her back into the future for snowy care. Thanks Sonia and appreciate your help for snowy. Enjoyed meeting you and your family via this opportunity.”
“My dog Pinto can be challenging and this has kept me from getting weekends away where I cannot bring her. Despite Pinto's difficulty with other pets and being tough to walk, Maryori did an amazing job. She stayed in touch all weekend and sent beautiful pictures of her and Pinto out and about so that I felt reassured and able to enjoy my time away!”
“Rachel took great care of our 15 year old terrier mix Cookie. She sent photos and messages to us everyday we were away. She followed all our directions and I felt relaxed and at ease knowing Cookie was happy. How do I know? Rachel reported that Cookie didn’t want her to stop rubbing her belly. Cookie does not let most people rub her belly!! That said it all!”
About: I've been trained as a dog groomer for about a year and a half, so if your dog needs maintenance on its coat I'd be more than happy to help. I've worked with many kinds of dogs from 4 month old puppies to 15 year old seniors. I also have a senior dog, a yellow Labrador, 13 yrs. I'm currently on pursuit for a part time job, so have more time to take care of any animals right now! The only day that doesn't work for me is Sunday or anytime after 6:30 pm on Thursdays and Fridays. I would love to know your pets daily routine, likes and dislikes in order to provide the best service I can for your furry friend.
“Marley had a great time the two weeks he was with Kevin. This is our fourth time using Kevin and always pleased with the care provided. Photos and progress reports were provided every few days. Will book again!”
“I’ve booked with Roseanna several times now and I couldn’t recommend her more! Her and her boys are great with my pup, Lylla. Roseanna is super attentive and responsive and always keeps me updated on how Lylla is doing. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“I brought my dog Jasper to Katie for a day visit in preparation for an overnight as he’s a little clingy and sensitive to changes in routine. He did spectacular with her. He was able to rest, go for a walk and Katie sent me so many wonderful pictures of him absolutely relaxed and having the best time. Katie was able to assuage my anxieties and treated my dog as if he was her own. I highly recommend!”

There are 3,320 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Columbus. About 90% of Columbus 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.

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 NJ 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.
