Sally was an amazing sitter! She let us bring our dogs over to her house to meet her before we booked to make sure we felt comfortable boarding them with her. She also sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were on our trip like we asked her to. Our dogs were in good hands with Sally!

Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!

This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great. I set up the stay about 2 months out because I wasn't sure how the Thanksgiving would effect finding a place for Lucy. Emily was super and answered so many questions for me. Lucy also had a great time playing with Emily's other dogs.

About: I've grown up around dogs, cats, horses, and many other animals. I have had six dogs and trained all of them to walk and do certain tricks, and did the 4-H dog program as a pre-teen, as well as four cats. I have worked with various different sizes and breeds of dogs and love them all equally. I work full-time from home, so am quite flexible with scheduling and your pups won’t be wanting for anything while visiting! I currently have two dogs of my own. The oldest is a 7 year old rescue from Thailand who is a sweetheart and would spend every second of every day getting belly rubs and sun bathing. The younger one is a 2 year old mutt I adopted 1 year ago from a rescue in VA, who is timid around other dogs at first and then loves to play with any and all ages/sizes. I am very well-practiced in taking care of dogs with medical or physical difficulties (e.g., mobility issues, skin issues, giving medications, wound dressing). I work fully remote from home so I am around all the time to ensure your pets get what they need - they won’t want for anything! I have a fenced in yard, two dogs to keep your pups company, and am able to crate your dog(s) if needed. I am around always and keep a watchful eye to ensure the safety of all pups.

Mary has taken care of my dogs since she was a little girl. She is very responsible about making sure they get fed on time, exercised every day and trained to be well mannered dogs. Mary also loves to just cuddle and play with them. One of the things I like most about Mary taking care of my dogs is that she is always happy to see them and is very patient with them. I would recommend Mary as a dog walker for anyone who loves their dog and wants a caring responsible person to exercise them.

Sydney was wonderful and we’ll definitely use her again. She kept in contact and sent lots of photos and videos. Maggie was well cared for. Thank you!

Abbey was the best! She kept me updated through the whole weekend and included photos and even a daily report card. Would definitely book again!

A Day In the Life for a Rover Pup

Dog boarding with an active Star Sitter on Rover will follow the sitter’s schedule and set routine, which may look like a(n):
  • Morning neighborhood walk, such as a stroll through downtown Columbus’ Short North Arts District
  • Mid-day supervised yard time and rest
  • Afternoon enrichment outing or indoor play
  • Potty walk and nighttime winddown
For approved off-leash play, sitters may take pups to dog parks, such as Scioto Audubon Dog Park or Wheeler Memorial Dog Park. Have a dog who likes to join in on errands? Choose a sitter who lives close to dog-friendly locations like BrewDog Franklinton or Seventh Son Brewing in Italian Village.
Need more routine stability? We recommend house sitting as a service for dogs who are sensitive to change. House sitting in Columbus, OH averages $45 per night.
