Very caring and knowledgeable about dogs. Considerate enough to give daily updates and photos of pet. I was assured that my pet was in good hands.

So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!

Kate and her family did an excellent job at watching our little boy while we were on vacation. Our Pomeranian felt right at home with her family which was important to us. We will definitely use Kate again. And recommend her to anyone wanting a safe and welcoming environment for their dogs.

John and Shannon were absolutely wonderful with our pup, Leo! From the moment we dropped him off, they kept us updated with sweet pictures, thoughtful messages, and stories from his walks. It was so clear he was happy, loved, and well cared for, we couldn’t have asked for kinder, more attentive sitters. Highly recommend! Leo can’t wait to come back!

Kassi was so incredibly sweet and very loving to my pup. She responded very quickly to a short-notice booking request and happily accepted. Right when I met her and her partner, it was very obvious that they were dog lovers and I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in their care. Kassi communicated super well, frequently sent me pictures of my dog throughout the stay, and was very flexible for drop-off and pick-up times. She also has a beautiful, large backyard that is perfect for any dog to run around in and enjoy. I can’t recommend Kassi enough and will definitely be booking with her again!

Lillibet, our golden, came home happy and tired - a good sign that she was very active and had lots of fun! Abby and her husband were accommodating and sent updates to keep tabs on what she was up to while we were out of town. Great first experience on Rover!

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.

About: I've taken care of pets almost all of my life! I grew up with 3 cats that I adored. Before we had our 3 boys, we got a Beagle named Pippin who lived with us for 14 years. For the last 5 years our family has hosted many dogs here in our home and enjoy the energy and life they bring! I currently work part-time and my husband works from home so we are very flexible and available. I love taking walks and enjoy when I can bring a furry friend along! I also love sitting on my deck swing with the pups and watching people and animals in my yard and on the bike path. We have a huge backyard that backs up to a bike path which we use frequently. We have 3 teenage boys who love playing with dogs! We also live in a very safe neighborhood that is dog friendly and right by a park.

Oh my!! Will and Bibiana, are the absolute best! We called them literally at the last minute made a booking they accepted the booking for our Charlie. This couple is awesome!!!! Very nice, very friendly, immediate welcome our Charlie with his disability into their home. They showed no hesitation to just make him feel welcome. Very professional , house is a place that you would want your very family taken care of. Our dog Charlie is a special needs dog. They didn’t even hesitate to say that they would take care of him as we had a funeral for my husband‘s uncle today in Cincinnati. Thank you, thank you, thank you Will and your lovely wife. We appreciate you so very much and we will be booking with you again! If you’re looking for a great place for your extended furry family consider Will and his lovely wife Bibiana. I HIGHLY recommend them! I love that they sent us videos of Charlie sitting in the window, watching the cars go by along with another dog and they was just having a good greatest time just looking out the window although our Charlie was barking at everything he saw, but the other dog tend to look at him and say, what are we looking at bud.🤣🤣

Hillary is like family to us now. We received frequent pictures and updates throughout the week and we felt like Bailey was enjoying his own vacation while we were away. She provided special attention to his little ‘quirks’ and needs and we are overjoyed to find someone like her. No kennels ever again for Bailey!! Hillary is truly someone special. Thanks for everything!!!

Lindsay is an amazing sitter! Our dogs, Rocky and Vinny, had the best time with her. They loved playing with her sweet dogs, Roxy and Fabio, and having the freedom of a fenced-in backyard. We had complete peace of mind while they were in her care—she’s kind, attentive, and truly treats dogs like her own. We couldn’t recommend Lindsay more highly to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!!! It almost seemed like our dogs didn’t want to leave they were having such a good time!!

Yoniray and her entire family did a wonderful job taking care of and spoiling our dog, Alfie, with love and affection. We received daily pictures and reports of his activities. Alfie also made a friend with their dog so he had fun socializing and playing with a peer! I highly recommend Yoniray. We will be using her in the future!

From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.

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!

Rachel and Jeff were great! We met them at their house a couple weeks before our Aero would be staying with them, and they have a really nice, clean place, and are clearly dog lovers. Communication for drop off and pickup were great, they sent several pics of our girl, and she seemed to have a nice, relaxing time with them. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be booking with them again! Thank you!

Liwei and her daughter took such great care of my dog Buckeye. I could tell by the pictures she was having a blast! Liwei put my mind at ease when we met and to see her interact with buckeye when I drove off I knew she was in good hands. Thank you again for taking such excellent care of my fur child!

Did an overnight with Bianca while I was still in town to make sure everything went ok with my anxious dog. After years of boarding her at a facility, her crate anxiety was getting to be too much. In no time at all, she was comfortable at Bianca's. She's not always a great eater, but she ate, and she settled into sleep so well that she didn't want to wake up. Bianca also sent me a couple updates throughout the night and in the morning to keep me updated. I feel very comfortable having her stay with Bianca again when I go out of town.

Carol did such an amazing job with Ruby; they were fast friends and Ruby had a great time. It was the perfect retreat from the craziness Ruby often experiences at her usual boarding place - we’ll definitely be asking Carol to watch her again!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Laura and Oliver’s stay with her family. He seemed perfectly at ease during our Meet and Great, so right away I felt comfortable leaving him in her capable hands. She was super communicative and sent fun photos and updates daily. I was actually afraid Oliver might not want to come home! 15/10 would rebook and recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.

Antonio was great with my super anxious dog! He was able to have someone stay with her all times so she wasn’t scared. My dog made a poo mess and caused a bit of damage because of her anxiety, but he didn’t complain. Antonio was available last minute which was super convenient! He even offered to keep her an extra day, which we did. We will definitely rebook if we’re in OH, Cbus area!!

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.
