Emily is a great dog sitter, I would highly recommend. I truly appreciate the daily photos and the dropping off service. Eevee seems equally as happy. Thank you Emily.

I cannot say enough great things about Kelly! I booked her to watch my dog, Rex, while I was away on a week-long work trip, and she was the obvious choice from the start. We met for a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone was comfortable, and it was immediately clear that Kelly is a true dog lover. Rex and her dog, Bandit, hit it off right away, which made the transition so much easier. Since this was Rex’s first time away from home since we rescued him, I was naturally a bit nervous. However, Kelly put me completely at ease by sending plenty of pictures and updates—usually twice a day. Rex ended up having a few accidents, which was a surprise to both of us, but Kelly was incredibly sweet and accommodating about it. We were able to agree on a plan together, and she handled the situation with so much grace. If you are looking for a sitter who will care for your dog like they are her own, Kelly is it. If I could give her 100 stars, I would. Rex and I will definitely be booking with her again!

Liwei was absolutely incredible! She sent frequent updates and clearly took amazing care of our two dogs. Both our pups have anxiety but Liwei and her daughter made sure they knew all the things our dogs needed to feel safe and comfortable for their week stay. We highly recommend her service to others and would absolutely request her help again in the future when needed.

Lauren and her family were wonderful with our two dogs. She was very communicative and kept us updated while we were on vacation. We enjoyed all the photos with the updates. I especially appreciate the care she took when their arthritis was acting up. We felt comfortable with the dogs in her care and their additional medical needs (medication).

I cant recommend Erin enough, she is the best! When I got a new puppy I was a bit nervous about finding a sitter to continue with our routine and spend the extra time needed for a puppy, but Erin scheduled a meet & greet to learn all about Skye’s training and get to know us. Skye hit it off right away with Erin and her 2 dogs. I love that she sends updates and photos a couple of times a day so I know that she is having a blast and getting lots of attention while she’s away from home.

Jasmine was great! She was super easy to communicate with, and made it super easy to coordinate drop off and pick up times. She took great care of Gus and kept us updated throughout the stay. It really was nice knowing she had kids to play with the dogs and give him lots of hugs. I highly recommend Jasmine and will use her again!

My pup and I had an excellent experience with Nancy and Christopher! Being a puppy, I wasn;t sure how my guy was going to do. They took him on daily walks, played with him in the backyard, and let him snuggle with them in the evenings. Nancy and Christopher even ran out and picked up more dog food when they realized I had not given them enough! They also shared several photos and updates while I was away. I feel very comfortable recommending Nancy and Christopher, though I don't want them to become so popular that there will be no availability for me!

We are so grateful to have found Marlyn for our dog! We had been having neighbors come over for walks and meals but felt guilty for our pup being alone so long when we are away for a few days or vacations, especially since our dog was used to being with our two other dogs before they passed away 😔 This is perfect! We know she is being cared for well and isn’t lonely while we are away. This was her longest stay of 7 days and it was great. Marlyn even gave Ella a bath before we picked her up since it was a particularly wet week. Highly recommend Marlyn for short, medium or longer dog sitting!

We were totally satisfied with our experience with Leslie and the Rover website. Leslie was more than knowledgeable about pet care and safety. Her Golden is a true sweetheart that would get alone with any dog. She has a nice fenced backyard with plenty of room to play. She sent us daily pics that eased our minds immensely knowing our two were enjoying themselves. We will definitely be using Leslie in the future and are thankful we found her and her services. Two thumbs up!!

Second stay, and somehow even better than the first! This was our second time boarding Rocky and Koi with Nursah, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear they were exactly where they wanted to be — tails wagging, no looking back at us whatsoever (humbling, honestly). Nursah takes such incredible care of them. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs, not just as a job but as a real passion. We felt completely at ease the entire time, knowing they were in a safe, loving home environment rather than a kennel. Rocky and Koi came back happy, calm, and well-loved.

I am so glad I chose to book with Kelly! I enjoyed the frequent updates and photos/videos of my pup and her dog Bandit playing together! After dropping Levi off I immediately knew he was in good hands, Kelly was thorough about Levi’s normal routine and accommodating to his needs! Thank you Kelly, Levi is already passed out from all the playing 😂

Bruno had an amazing stay with Madison. She treated him like he was her own and made him feel so comfortable. She took him on lots of walks, to the dog park often, and kept him active and happy. Her Bernese is the sweetest and really welcomed Bruno like a brother. I don’t think Bruno wanted to leave lol. He came home happy, well cared for, and loved. I would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog:)

Kelsey was truly fantastic. She took amazing care of our two doodles and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She sent great pictures every day, kept us updated, and clearly gave them tons of attention. The dogs were happy, relaxed, and absolutely loved hanging out with her for a few days. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would strongly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pups.

Erin and her family, including her dogs and cat, make my dog feel so at home and truly loved. From the moment he arrives, he settles in like it’s his second home. Erin sends regular updates and photos, which I always appreciate, and my dog looks genuinely happy every time he’s there. It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being cared for, but welcomed and included. He’s a repeat visitor and will absolutely be back again. I cannot recommend Erin enough.

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.
